The Bears lost their second preseason game, but the preseason is about more than the record. We're going over our notes from last night's game.
You know, I don't think I was expecting last night's game to take the turns that it did take. I don't think I was expecting the Bears to take the early lead with the first two scores, and I don't think I was expecting the Connor Shaw-led third string to push as hard as they did to close the game to one point as time expired. The first team looked strong on the first two drives and then as the Patriots' second and third teams phased in, Brian Hoyer started looking a little better and Connor Shaw played some really strong football.
