Bears Win ?!?
By Mike | October 7, 2007
Holy Crap! I can’t believe they pulled this game out? I had zero confidence and had resorted to rooting for players on my various fantasy teams to have big days. If the Bears are going to lose at least I can get something out of it right? And then the Bears Defense came out and dominated in the second half, which screwed me in just about every fantasy game I was in, but I’m certainly not complaining.
As I mentioned, big kudos to the Bears D. They looked horrible in the first half, but were able to force turnovers to keep it close. Then they more or less shut Green Bay down for the entire second half. When they are normally giving up ridiculous yardage, they actually stood tall tonight and kept the team in it.
The running game is still horrible. There were a few plays when Benson made some decent yardage, but most of the time he’s barely breaking the line of scrimmage. Its not always his fault. He’s getting hit in the backfield an awful lot. And they kept running that draw play up the middle that netted an average of 0.7 yards.
Its nice to see the tight ends getting into the game. Olson is getting to where we all hoped he would be when they drafted him, and Clark is still making huge plays. I love the pass play for the TD late in the game on 3rd and two.
I had all but given up on the Bears chances of making the playoffs this year, but I’m feeling a little better about it now. Hopefully they can use this win to springboard them to a nice run.
