Sunday hurts.
Monday I walk down the street, sit in my shower and argue with myself, "We shoulda...we coulda..."
Tuesday I read every analyst, scan every Power Rankings to see how far we've dropped...
Wednesday it returns.
Hope.
We've written to death about what the Bears did right and wrong against the Redskins. Forget it. It's over. The Lions are coming into our house Sunday, riding the wave of a big win over the Green Bay Packers, smelling blood. A win for them puts them in the pole position for the NFC North. A Bears win opens the division. A Bears win makes the NFC North a dogfight.
But more than that.
A Bears win gives us a reason to believe for Week 3.
A Bears win gives us a reason to relax on the bye week.
Don't think for a second that the Minnesota Vikings are going to run away with this division. And don't believe for a minute that the Bears are going to roll over the Packers twice because they're struggling. This division is going to beat itself up.
I've loved this team for longer than I've loved anything else on the earth. This Sunday feels like a Play-In Game. We're not playing to get into the playoffs. We're playing to get into the season.
In Kyle, We Trust.
#2 revdad said . . .just thought id point out Colombo has just been cut. It sucks cause the guy had the right mentality just a bum knee and i know he wasnt starter quality because of it but he was a big guy in the middle of the field goal blocking unit. Although John St. Clair is versatile and they say he can play all 5 line positions.
On another note mike greens job is in limbo. Lovie is pissed about his play, but i think he could take todd johnson any day of the week.September 15, 2005
"In Kyle We Trust," yes ... but the best line I heard about the flip side of trusting a rookie quarterback is from Abelog in Springfield, Ill:
How long will it be before we see the headline, "Orton Hears a Boo"?

Here at DaBearsBlog, you are free to kill us or the Bears as you so wish. You are not free, however, to be an asshole. So if you spew racism or ill-meaning foul language (cursing about football is just fine) or anything of that ilk, your comments ain't gonna last long, jerk.
