The headline in the Chicago Tribune sports section today is "heaven help him" with a picture of Matt Leinert below it. Each beat reporter had predicted a Bears win and all by 21 points or more. They have even gone so far as to suggest the evening will be a failure if the Bears get less then 8 sacks. One writer even attacked Boldin for having said words to the effect that if the Cards prepared as best they can, and execute w/o mistakes they could stay with the Bears. They predict a stadium more then 50% Bear fans.
If the Cards players have any pride in themselves, knowing the season is about to go down the drain, and that they are on national TV, they would make the superlative effort. This might be their "Super Bowl" but I'm not sure the have it in them.
