If Loggains can figure out this D, I'm sure we can.

I never bought into them. There was talks about their defense being on the level of the 85 Bears, Purple People Eaters, 00 Ravens and 02 Bucs. And this was after a handful of games.

Their offense is terrible. It's very hard to win in this league with a bad QB like Bradford. Especially these days. You have to be able to score.

I'm not sure Minnesota realizes there is still a season to be played following the bye week.

Vikes were pretty desperate.

I still don't get it. If you are going to be desperate, at least get someone semi good. Bradford is not a good QB. I would give nothing higher than a 5th for him. Eagles made out like bandits with that trade. They got their QB in Wentz and now they got the 1st rounder they traded to get him.

Jordan Howard, 449 yards on 84 carries, 5.3 YPC + 176 yards on 18 catches.

Not shabby for a 5th round pick.

Well, welll, well. Do we have an upset brewing? I hope so.

Go Bears! 13-3 at the half.

Sideline reporter: "John Fox says Jay Cutler is really inspiring this team. In related news, John Fox has been entered into the NFL's drug-testing program."

I was surprised to hear Laquon Treadwell has zero catches or even plays. He was drafted essentially same spot as Dez, who was involved pretty early in the offense. What a disappointing pick for them, or am I missing something?
Zero work ethic and poor attitude to boot. He has the size and speed to still be great in college, but he is finding out the hard way that being great in college doesn't always translate in the NFL.

The Vikings are overrated.
Probably so. I just think the loss of Peterson and having Bradford as QB as we move on in the season will expose the Vikings. Bradford is ok in short stints but not for an entire season and couple that with losing Peterson won't be enough to be one of the top teams in the NFC. Being that their division is not very good they will probably still win the division but don't see a deep playoff run.

Jordan Howard is clowning this Vikings defense. Really nice pickup for Chicago.

He and Floyd look like solid pieces. It will be interesting to see if they fire Fox.

That was Jeffery's first of the season. That's insane. That guy is going to want Dez money next season.

Cutler struggled early on, but he has played really well since.

Go Bears
