Da Who?


What is up with the Bears? I mean c'mon. Coming from a Super Bowl runner up season, to a 1-3 start this year. I’m a little disappointed and they still haven't solved their Quarter Back problem yet and it doesn't seem like they will. Greise was not impressive at all this last Sunday. Throwing only 65% completion and three interceptions, he was not looking like he body was telling him, "...bring it on, I’m feeling good." The Bears defense isn't looking so hot either. Last year, being one of the most feared defenses in the NFL, to this year allowing 321 yards per game and just about 24 points a game. This might be due to the fact that the defense is always on the field. The Bears have scored on average about 15 points a game. That is 26th in the NFL. It just seems like it going all down hill for the Bears. They have a majority of there big players hurting. Adam Archuleta who is banged up with a hand injury, Brian Urlachers back is giving him problems, and also Lance Briggs hamstring is hurting. Now these are three staples in the Bears defense and you can tell that they really do impact how the defense plays.

This weekend they are going to play the red hot packers. The packers are now 4-0, and show now signs of slowing down. Brett Favre, playing in what could be in his last year, is leaving everything on the field. Their offense is ranked 8th in the NFL in total points scored, and their defense is rank 9th in total points allowed with only 16.5 points a game. The game this weekend is going to be a huge one. The Bears need the win to stay in the chase for the NFC North, and the Packers need a win to keep their distance from the surprising Detroit Lions. If the Bears don’t figure out their problems it could be a very long and disappointing season.

I'm glad to see a little Detroit Lions love in that last part. The Packers, though, are definitely the most surprising team this year. We all knew the Patriots, Colts, and Cowboys were going to be good. But this Packers team is as young as ever, which has turned out to be a good thing because of the most veteren quarterback in the league right now, Brett Favre. It'll be interesting to see how the year progresses for the Packers as Minnesota did make things interesting for them at the end of the game last sunday.
