Vikes v. Bears Round 1

Let's just get to the news and notes with this one:

First a few items on the Bears:

1. They were picked by some (Peter King) to win 12 games. Urlacher going down is duly noted but that offensive line is brutal and Forte is no Steven Jackson.

2. Best thing Bobby Wade ever did for the Vikes is start "the Feud" between Urlacher and Cutler. You know Urlacher totally called Cutler a "pussy," you know this.

3. Best quote from this article: "The Bears offense shouldn't have bothered taking the field in the second half. They generated a total of 2 yards on 12 plays. That is not a misprint." I would have added "That is not a misprint, they just suck."

As for the Purple:

1. Efficient and balanced. Not their best effort all around we're just more talented. Punch holes where you want: penalties? AP fumbleitis? but what are you really gonna bitch about? We did win 36 - 10 afterall.

2. Favre wins my MVP. 32 for 48 and 392 yards and 3 tuddies. Newsflash to the rest of the NFL: Farve can throw the rock. He will dismantle you.

3. VIkes defense: see point #3 under "Bears" section. All this and still without 2008 Pro Bowl selection Antoine Winfield. We're legit on D.

That was delicious. The sports sections in the papers here are still today full of post-mortem handwringing about how far away from the elite teams the Bears are. They just can't believe their preseason impressions were so wrong. Watching the knife-grabbing of local superfans is fabulous theater. I look forward to the rerun down here in a few weeks.

Ironically, this is the first game all year that I have missed completely. I have it on DVR, but the final score of 36-10 just sounds too good to ruin by actually watching and seeing any warts on our performance.

MCA - I would love to soak in some of the vitriol of the Chicago sports media right now. They really thought this team was going a long way...whoops. Sorry...I guess you miscalculated JUST a little bit on Jay Cutler, your line, and your skill position players.
