Bears Lose Big Time



What a disappointing loss for the Chicago Bears. I was expecting a lot more from them and they played at a much lower level that I have seen all season. The anticipation to have Nathan Vasher back as starting cornerback hasn't paid off. In fact, every time we see a replay of him we see him chasing after the wide receiver in that "work in progress, out of shape body" he seems to present on television. To top it all off the pass defense is so horrible I was ready to guzzle some Tylenol down my throat and order an ABC, defense tutorial for the Bears' D as a early Thanksgiving present.-And that is something they would be thankful for. Right now the Bears need as much help as they can get.

How could it be that a team with a quarterback who has barely played a few quarters before this season can go ahead sling some throws for yardage and score 37 points on a Chicago Bears' defense? The Bears gave up 200 yards rushing and 227 yards on passing and we couldn't even touch the guy for a sac. This loss has been the biggest scoring difference all season long. This doesn't seem like the team we knew last Sunday at least on the rush defense, and I especially know that the Bears passing can be much improved upon. The Bears have got to straighten their stuff out fast because we all know that the Bears are a much better team and a much more talented team than the Packers-period.

And another thing: we can't blame everything on Kyle Orton. We know that when he put his laces on he was still banged up and adjusting to the speed of the game that he hasn't seen in a week. He played solid and lets hope he gets healthy and finds the rhythm he had before he was injured two weeks ago.

A disappointing day overall, but we just got to pick ourselves up and get back to work. The Bears are now 5-5 and they are tied for first with Green Bay and Minnesota. There is still life, hopefully we see it this Sunday against Saint Louis.

GO BEARS!!!
