Many of you are hard on Bryson and are giving Henry way too much credit for the win today.
Why was this game even so close?
Here's why:
Because of Henry's FUMBLE.
We were up 7-0 and the Bear offense was doing NOTHING!
Then, Henry saw fit to once again fumble which allowed the Bears to score. Prior to that carry on that drive, Bledsoe was 3 of 4 for 32, 9 of which went to Bryson. Bryson had 3 carries for 12 yards. (7,3,2) And we were marching downfield with virtual impunity.
Then, once again, the unthinkable! Yet another Henry fumble.
Tied 7-7 just like that. If he doesn't fumble, we're likely up 14-0, but 10-0 nonetheless since we were already in FG range. We scored an additional 10 points on the two subsequent drives while the Bear O was stymied.
It could have been 24 or 20 to nothing and we could have put the game away early in the 3rd Q.
So before everyone starts talking about how wonderful Henry is, just remember, if the Bears even get a FG in O/T, it's the second straight game that we lose b/c of Henry.
Food for thought.
