…we could be Bears fans. After Sunday’s less than spectacular win over the Detroit Lions, some Packer fans are still not satisfied by their level of play. The fact is that there are always going to be some fans that will always view the glass as half empty. On the other hand, you have Bear’s fans.
While I normally like to listen to the various Packers post game radio shows, win or lose, one of my guilty pleasures is to listen to Chicago sports talk radio after a Bears loss. Last week, after a home loss to the Houston Texans, the wailing and gnashing of teeth south of the border wasn’t that bad. Afterall, it was a close, low scoring game and Jay Cutler went out during the middle of the contest. But after last night, the hounds have been unleashed. Suddenly, a defense that was at times being compared to the imcomparable ’85 squad, is now exposed as relying TOO much on generating turnovers. Brandon Marshall is an all-pro wide receiver when Jay Cutler is throwing to him, pedestrian at best with any other signal caller. And that offensive line is really offensive.
The Bears and Packers have identical win-loss records atop the NFC North Division, but Green Bay is in first place by virtue of their head-to-head record. Apparently, Chicago needs to finish the season 5-1 to have any chance at the Lombardi Trophy, because 3-3 will put them on the road in the first round of the playoffs, where they don’t stand a chance. This is the analysis from our friends to the South, and it makes for some darn good listening pleasure.
