Amazing that the Colts' high-octane offense was what failed them when they needed it most and the Bears' vaunted defense collapsed at the worst time as well.
Rex Grossman was who everyone had their eyes on but he did not lose the game for the Bears, instead it was their inability to stop the Panthers on 3rd down.
Rex struggled at the start but was very impressive afterwards. He kept leading scoring drives to keep the Bears within range but when the Defense kept failing to come up with stops, the offense couldn't do any more.
Keep your chin up MrPolarBear, the Bears are not only, young, talented and well-coached, but their key players are all locked up to long-term contracts. This experience will only make them better. This is a team that should contend for the next few years.
