I still don't think the Bears are very good, and the Vikings now appear a strong favorite to win the North (although admittedly they have beaten 2 piles of crap so far). But Cutler was very good today (they don't win that game with Orton obviously, and it was nice to see Cutler actually have a pick free game), and the Packers performance makes me think this division might not be as tough as I thought. But the Bears still are going nowhere if they don't find a run game, and the loss last week was still atrocious. If you are expecting fans who dare *gasp* cast a critical eye on their team to all of a sudden have no concerns because of a win that was aided in large part by their opponent, you are sadly mistaken. Bears are in a pretty good position if they can win next week though (and Hasselbeck might be out) because the schedule is cupcake city after that.

There is looking at the team without homer glasses and calling things how they are, and then there is just irrational panic and people jumping off the ledge after week 1, saying the season is over, saying the Bears made a mistake trading for Cutler etc. Those who fall into the second group deserve ridicule.

Seahawks have been hit worst by injuries of all NFL teams (10 starters so far), so we have a pretty solid chance next week. This team looks really talented, it's just a matter of putting it all together.

On ESPN today, Tim Hasselbeck made a joke about how his brother was the QB of the team he was playing in Fantasy Football this week, so he was hoping his brother would get hurt... :ph34r:

 

Whoops.

The Bears beat the defending champs and lose a week before by 6 points even with 4 turnovers, and you give them no credit. Wow, are you TerraTor from TalkBears? The Vikings have beat 2 teams that can be beaten by a squad constructed of people in my neighborhood, and you're already declaring them the favorites. Like I said, the Bears will be 3-1 going into the bye, and the Falcons the week after aren't having an eye-popping year by any means either.

Is Romo going out with Jessica Simpson again?

 

He was god awful tonight.

 

0 sacks for our pass rush in 2 games, and our CB's were terrible.

 

And Marion the Barbarian will be out for a few weeks with a quad strain I'd imagine.

I give them credit for winning today, but a victory over a good team doesn't change the fact that there are some major problems that need to be fixed (good news is the biggest among the problems after week 1 was Cutler/Cutler and the receivers chemistry, which was obviously good today). And yes, I think the Vikings, who were better than the Bears last year and have a pretty similar team to what they had last year except for adding Brett Favre and Percy Harvin, are the favorites. What a crazy concept that is.

Well, it's a game that we had no business being that close in. That's for damn sure. Oh well, all that can be done now is correct the problems & take advantage of a Carolina team who hasn't looked too hot next Monday night.
