Eh, I Guess They’re Not All That Bad, Go Packers! … That Hurt
Despite the last two steaming piles the Bears have laid down, the division is still very much in reach if Aaron Rodgers and company can beat Minnesota this weekend. I’m of course assuming one thing: that our Bears can manage to suck just a little less than the really, really sucky Browns on Sunday.
Cleveland’s overrated, dysfunctional duo under center has lead the offense to only four touchdowns and thrown 10 picks thus far. It’s crazy to think that two years ago, either of those guys could have probably garnered at least a first-round pick or more in a trade. I don’t think most of those offers would still be out there.
As a team, Cleveland has been out scored 179-72 through seven games and are full steam ahead for another top-five pick in 2010. This game should be a slump buster for the Bears and there’s even a chance we could generate a pass rush! Of course, it’d come against an offense that has already given up 18 sacks, but we need a lay up right now. Maybe, Tommie Harris will even be able to pencil the game into his schedule this weekend and contribute; certainly hasn’t been wearing himself out in practice lately. It doesn’t matter that your not one-hundred percent Tommie, it matters that you’re getting paid, like, 10 million dollars a year.
So, even though we all may die a little inside for it, this weekend, we should all be rooting for Green Bay to show that it’s better off without Farve. Even with Farve, beating Minnesota seems to be really about the usual: not getting all-dayed by AP and triple teaming the best mullet in the league, Jared Allen. The Bears had better do something with Orlando Pace–for Cutler’s sake–before he has to handle J. Allen one-on-one at the end of the season. Your ideas as to what you think the Bears should do with the O-line are welcome below … Omiyale at tackle, maybe?
