Da Bears

Over the weekend, I found a Bears outfit that Rachel has since outgrown. It should fit Sami just fine and there's no doubt what she'll be wearing on Sunday.

This week's Bears game, which had better be televised on the loca Fox affiliate, is against the Lions and whoever wins will cement their place at the top of the division and actually have won more games than they lost. Can we beat those pesky Lions?

Damn straight.

We have Thomas Jones, who is fifth in the NFL in rushing. The four guys ahead of him have all played an extra game. I can't wait for their bye weeks to come so we can see who is really the best running back in the NFL. We have Kyle Orton, who is getting better each week and excepting his one bad game, has played well enough to let the running game and Defense win it. And then there's that Defense. Ah, Defense. That's what the Bears are all about. According to the league, the Bears are the 3rd best Defense. However, a more complete rating system devised by Troy Aikman puts the Bears at the top of the pile. Naturally, I like Aikman's system. But seriously, the Bears have not allowed a rushing touchdown all season and have the best efficiency in the league when their opponent hits the red zone. In other words, just cause you're inside the 20 doesn't mean you're going to score on the Bears.

We have a good team. The offense is not great, sometimes it's not even good, but the Defense is the best around. Will we win the Super Bowl. Well, no, almost certainly not. But the playoffs are in reach. And that's the first step to getting to the big game again.

Go Bears!
