Umm. Well. The Bears offense sucked it tonight. Period. Rex Grossman had 6 turnovers. Rex, you deserved to be pulled… in the first half. He must be one hell of a leader, because if I were on that team I would have walked over to him and slapped him on his head to wake his ass up. Four picks. Are you kidding me? Against the Cardinals. They were ranked 29th in the league in passing defense. They suck. The offensive line played terribly. Roberto Garza, you have to wait until the ball is snapped to move. Hello. And then, after that, you’re supposed to stay inbetween the guy on your team who has the ball and the guys on the other team trying to tackle him. Perhaps Lovie needs to go over the fundamentals with the O-Line on their bye week.
Unfortunately, the defense doesn’t get totally off the hook either. Their lackluster tackling, and soft pass defense nearly allowed Matt Leinart to make a name for himself. Guys, let him do that against some other team. He will do it. He’s the real deal. Just not against the Bears. Of course it was Brian Urlacher and the defense who took charge of this game and brought the Bears to victory. But they’re going to need to bring the intensity the whole game instead of just the 4th quarter if this team really is supposed to remind us of the 1985 Super Bowl Champion Chicago Bears team.

So now the question will surely be, “Is this a team of Destiny?” I don’t know about that. I do know that this defense can really kick your teeth in, and this team can somehow escape a 6 turnover night to win a football game. So I’d say they’re pretty damn good. What do you think?
