It’s Official
That’s right folks, come this time next week, it’ll be the New Orleans Saints vs. our own Chicago Bears (well mine and a few others maybe).
It was a close game throughout and it even looked like we might keep pace with our secret shame of not winning a playoff game since 1991. Thankfully though of course, our sure-footed kicker who had only missed 4 field goals all of the regular season (counting his blocked punt by that guy from the Patriots I think), managed to get the win. Hell the wind even caught the ball, kinda made you think for a brief second that even nature was against us. But we made it, so… WOO HOO!
I’m looking toward next week with a bit of trepidation though considering Deuce McAllister is coming off of a season high 143 yard game and of course Reggie Bush’s wily running style, those two combined could cause us some trouble since our defense hasn’t been as great against the run with Tommie “My shades are cooler then yours” Harris (( I promise to stop coming up with random silly names for players based off of their post-game interviews. That is of course if I remember this promise)). Of course there are two other worries I have every single time the Bears play:
- Why can’t we run Cedric Benson more then Thomas Jones, ’cause TJ’s running style is craptacular. Too much dancing to just be tackled immediately.
- And of course, our difficulties and seeming retardation in our secondary. And don’t say it’s because Mike Brown is out, ’cause he sucks just as much, if not more then Charles Tillman and whoever else has been here longer then the rookies and new comers.
In any case of course, we’re one more step away from bringing home the Lombardi and it doesn’t matter how we do it, as long as we do it, right? Right.
GO BEARS!

Not ragging on the Bears defense per se, more on specific players on the Bears defense. Namely Mike Brown and Charles Tillman. These two are over rated and constantly let me down when it’s crunch time.
How many times is it that Charles Tillman won’t make an easy tackle, or Mike Brown will let even the crappiest receivers blow by him like they were Chad Johnson? Too many times for both of ‘em.
At least you didn’t say anything about my comments for Thomas Jones, maybe you too can see the need to “Free Benson”. Maybe TJ and his brother can be on the same team and be the backup quality backs that they really are. Damn I sound bitter, eh?
It’s time to unleash C. Benson! Hit the hole hard not dance around waiting for the big uglies to part the Red Sea.

Surtin,
as a neighboring Lions fan, how can you rag on the Bears defense? Anytime you want to send a few players like Urlacher and Briggs over to the Lions, feel free. That way the Lions would then have a grand total of two defensive players to go along with the none they have now.
My guess is that more of the game will sadly hinge on Rex Grossman. He needs one of his good games.
