The Viking Who Stole Christmas
Thanks to Brett Favre and his inability to make retirement decisions and stick to them, th
ere will be no Christmas this year for Bears fans around the world. But look at the bright side, the four people out there who wear Wrangler jeans will be happy to see that their favorite spokesperson is still trucking along.
All things considered, Sunday’s game wasn’t that awful. The Bears defense was strong, especially in the first half. We had the Vikes beloved Adrian Peterson droppin’ the ball like it’s hot, and of course we recovered those fumbles. The problem is, we didn’t convert those turnovers into points.
Cutler and Da Bears Visit Grandpa For The Holidays
Tommorrow afternoon, Da Bears are heading up to Minnesota to pay Grandpa Favre a little holiday visit. I’m not the least bit optimistic about the outcome of this game. We’ve lost the last four games in a row, and the Vikings have won the last four.
That said, to humor my fellow Bears fans, I’ve compiled a list of creative reasons why I think we might have a chance to win tommorrow’s game.
1. We’re due for a win, and Minnesota is due for a loss. Da Bears have a strange way of beating great teams and losing to bad ones. It’s our specialty. I still can’t believe we beat the Steelers earlier this season.
Da Bears – and Da (Critical) Big Win
The guys had me freaking out. This looked like one of THOSE games – you know, a game where the other team does everything they can to give it away to us and we still can’t seem to pull it together to take it. Cutler consistently overthrew every single Bear on the field. Man, is he antsy these days. They couldn’t get in the end zone to save their lives. OK, that’s partially credit to the effort put up by our seriously depleted defense (Trot’s really our best option at MLB? Really? He’s like 327 in football years! Although he did manage to chase Devin Hester out of bounds…), but still. They didn’t give the ball to Matt Forte nearly as much as I would’ve, which to me indicates problems with their run blocking. Hell, Devin Hester even got pantsed.
All is Lost: The Game, Our Season, and Hester’s Pants
Nobody does Sunday Night Football humiliation quite like Da Bears.
Once again, we had a game that was completely winnable, up until the last minute. Once again, we had 21 points of touchdown passes that SHOULD have been made. And once again, Ron Turner abused our offense with horrendous play calling. (Note to wRONg Turner: The Hester WR screen doesn’t work–calling it five times in a row won’t change that).
Our defense played really well last night. We forced 3 turnovers! Charles Tillman was ricidulously good. Even Tommie Harris showed signs of life (making plays, not punching players). It was classic Bears football, on the defensive end.
Papa Rex Comes Out Swinging
Seizing an opportunity to attempt to redeem his son’s abysmal quarterbacking record with the Chicago Bears, Rex Grossman’s dad, Dan Grossman, has stepped up to the plate to defend Jay Cutler. He told the Chicago Tribune,
“It’s a self-perpetuating problem that is not Jay Cutler’s fault. It’s not Rex Grossman’s fault. It’s not Kyle Orton’s fault. It’s not every other quarterback who has been through that system’s fault. It’s the fault of the organization for not understanding what a quarterback needs.”
Hmm…what does a quarterback need? A daddy who sticks up for him? Some skills, perhaps? The ability not to trip over oneself?
