My ulcer hurts...can we win by 10 once?

How bout them Bears. Big victory over the Eagles, now we must roll up to the "D" and roll a bad team. Are the Bears capable of rolling anyone?

Tough to answer. I'd like to think if we played defense all the time like that goalline stand that maybe this team has a shot. Maybe Orton can play QB in this league. Oops turnover, maybe he'll always be learning on the job. This is a real shot for the Bears to make a statement to the NFC that they're going to hang around all year. At 2-2 and tied with the Pack, it's all in front of the Bears.

Chicago has a chance to go to 5-2 before the bye week by beating Detroit and Atlanta on the road, then getting Gus Frerotte and the Viqueens. But know this, don't count on anything with the Bears. They owe the Lions from last year, so they have to get this win in the books before I'm ready to seriously talk about anything ahead. Win this game without a scare and we'll talk.

I really think the Bears may win or lose every game by a field goal this year. But put together back to back wins and I'll forget those two collapses (until they haunt us in Week 17).

Time to put the money where the mouth is. I've looked at this team for 4 weeks and look I don't see us going to the Super Bowl. I don't even want to talk playoffs right now. The Bears are a wildly inconsistent team that could go 11-5 or 6-10. But know this: they're a fun team to watch. They make me mad. They give me heartburn. They make me ecstatic. They make me do stupid things. And that's all I want. And they are capable of doing good things this season. Great, well we'll see about that.

Bears 33, Lions 16

See you Sunday!
