We asked RedEye’s Twitter followers the following question: Is your glass half-empty or half-full? Give us a good reason the Bears will or won’t make the playoffs. Here’s what they said. Play for team RedEye at twitter.com/redeyechicago.
The Bears glass is half-full, unfortunately the coaching staffs’ heads are empty & will keep us out of the playoffs.
@Randy(underscore)Gniadecki
My glass is half-full for the simple reason that the rest of the division is playing just as bad if not worse than the Bears.
@specialKevin
Why won’t the Bears make the playoffs? Because Lovie Smith suddenly forgot how to coach in the NFL.
@TheMikePhillips
Half-empty. It all came down to [Sunday’s] game, and Orton’s fearlessness of the early season disappeared after his injury!
@hksully
The Bears won’t make the playoffs, but only because they don’t want the Cubs or Sox to feel neglected.
@gordondym
One reason for both: Lovie Smith.

The Bears loss also had fans talking on chicagotribune.com/sports message boards.
“I know that only doom and gloom are popular today but I would like to give a little credit to Mr. Forte for going over 1,000 yards on the ground with several games to go.”

“We blew it! No excuses, we could have won, maybe should have won, but we lost it big time. Just a terrible performance after such a promising start which pretty much sums up this season.”
