I always thought that Judas was just a pawn in God's plan.

It certainly does suck being only one of two teams to have won four games ! And we go two clear in the division after we kill the Hawks and the Dolphins pound the PAckers. Minny's continuing implosion is a boon. Chris Williams back on Sunday. Edwin Williams and J'Marcus Webb to take over, meaning Omelette is gone, gone, gone from the O-line. Yay ! It's good to be a Bear!

You have a very valid point Mrs.Shaman. The Vikings have played the AFC EAST and the Pack is just starting. We get them in the last month or so of the season. I hope our OL has jelled and is ready to kick kiester (posterior anatomy) by then. If not our records may align negatively for all of us. Looking at all 3 teams I think the Bears have the best Defense and Offensively we have Tice and Martz working with our players making them better daily. Meanwhile the Pack and Vikings look to be self destructing. We can only hope that the extra time will help us prevail. Why be a pessimest? Life is too short to feel sorry for yourself as far as I'm concerned. I alway try to give my all and work for the best. Then, the best usually happens when you've worked hard for it. I've had multiple back surgeries and am disabled. I easily could have given up knowing that I'll probably be in a wheel chair some day but that's just not the way I want to live life. The Army said it all "Be all you can Be!!!" (Best jingle ever invented! They should never have changed and should use it again.) That to me is the only way to be. Go BEARS!!!

Well Mrs Shaman all I can say is may the Bears win!!! lol. Like I've said later in the season (with luck) the Bears will be a totally different team. They actually might have a balanced Offense with an OL that Tice has trained. I have hopes that we might actually go 2-2 or better in December. Detroit will not be a gimmie either!!! But that leaves the Vikings, Jets, and your Pats. Who knows the sky's the limit. The players are mostly young and might just start believing in themselves by then. If so the Pats and Jets might find themselves in must win games against us! Wouldn't that be something if the Bears could knock out either the Jets or Patriots from the playoffs!!! lol. Remember, fact is stranger than fiction and we play BOTH of them in Chicago!!! Don't you just want to see us eat crow? lol Oh it's too bad there can only be one Super Bowl winner, so untill then smile I'm the Pepsi guy in this commercial. lol.

GOOD-LUCK BEARS !...keep-in-mind that the broncos went [6-0] , and the giants went [5-0] their first 5/6 weeks in 2009 , and both finished [8-8, = i believe] ......just-saying. ; )

That reason and the murderous schedule at the end, is why I will not claim any title or crown the Bears until it is earned...then look out...lol

Wow. Can't say I agree that you can just plug in a warm body as an O-lineman and figure they will improve and gel together. Look across the line at some of the beasts attacking QBs in the league....you can't just throw some 340 lb. dude named Jethro out there and have in lay in Jared Allen's way. I get what you're saying about having extra guys around to try out at the positions, and I also realize that Forte and Chester together amassed a boatload of yards last game. And hey, I heard today that barring any setbacks, your guy Cutler will be back for Week 6. Just saying, there's probably an underlying reason or issue when a team is winning ugly many times in a row. Better to win ugly than lose, of course. But sometimes those reasons come back to haunt later. Nothing wrong with being optimistic, I guess, but I doubt anyone's scared or having nightmares - yet. It's a long season, but never to soon for some great PNL I guess! Haha. But when the dust settles down the road yonder, you might open your eyes and find that the sack you're staring at is not your own. Good luck, I like your passion!

The Bears are winning due to one reason...

GREAT DEFENSE...

I gotta agree with you BGDEUCE but I still say yes with proper coaching you can plug in a physical specimans of around the same abilities (Which most NFL linemen are.) and get the job done. OLine is the only position on the field that I think it can be done but I think it can be done on the Oline. With the key words of PROPER COACHING!!! An Olineman 1st must keep his feet under him properly. 2nd on pass blocking he must keep himself between the DLman and the QB. And on run blocking the most important thing is to keep lower than the Dlineman. If he can keep lower he can steer the opponent where ever he wants. Yes strength is paramount but it can be earned in the weightroom and speed is mostly the want and will not to be beaten. Sure there are some freaks like JULIUS out there but with our guys training against him 5 days a week it really becomes an advantage. Meaning if they can learn to stop Julius in practice they can stop anyone anytime anywhere during the games. Go BEARS!!!
