The Prophecy died with a damp ball and fumbled snaps and a backup quarterback who looked the part. It perished with missed tackles, laced with the stains of a bad timeout.
In the end, we left the Meadowlands with a surprise loss that was nearly a surprise win and an 8-4 record that cracks our formidable 2006 facade.
For the uninitiated, The Prophecy declared that because the Bears play the exact same slate of teams in 2018 that we did in 2006, and because it’s fun and useful to believe in such things, I knew that we would win all of the games we won in 2006 and lose all of the games we lost in 2006 and emerge with a 13-3 mark as we entered the playoffs.
