Bear Down Baffa

The Bears came up big in our biggest challenge of the season.  Facing what some were calling the best team in the NFC (and certainly a dangerous offense with big play potential), the Bears played their best all-around game this year.  Bear players downplayed this being a statement game, but there’s no way around it – we put ourselves on the map Sunday.  And we beat the Eagles at their own game – we had 4 plays of at least 30 yards, Philly had 0.  You better start making your Supa Bow plans…

In a game that Miami should have forfeited because they had more injuries than an emergency room on a Saturday night on Chicago’s South Side, the Bears absolutely dominated them.  Miami spent as little time in Bear territory as Lindsay Lohan spent in prison, and we pitched our first shutout in over 4 years, giving Miami only its second goose egg at home in 40 years.  For the third time in a row, we looked really good against a bad team.  And again, there’s really not much to celebrate other than the W – our third in 12 days.

In a match-up that would lead to one team’s season ending, the Bears came up big time and not only kept their season alive, but revitalized it.  Despite 11 penalties, we put together a well balanced attack and took down a beast in both Favre and Peterson.  It seems hard to believe at this point in the season, but we haven’t lost in 3 weeks, and are now 3-0 in the division.  And the winning streak now stands at 2!   (more…)

Despite playing north of the US border, the Bears “hung on” to win against the only remaining winless team in the NFL, the now 0-8 Bills.  If we had performed like this against a good team, I’d be impressed.  But against a team whose last win came on Jan. 3, there’s not much to celebrate – other than the fact that we picked up our first W in four weeks, and that we’re now 5-3 instead of 4-4.   (more…)
