The 85 Bears...

Our LBing group is very deep, but we don't have the Ray Lewis kind of guy out there. They're all good, but not great.

The D-line, however, has been great. Pickett was, once again, all over their O-line for most of the game. Jenkins is the best penetrating 3-4 DE I've seen in quite a while and Jolly has been playing lights out when he's not making stupid plays.

Harris might be somewhat overrated, but I'm still confident that he's one of the better corners in the league and could start for nearly any team. Just look at that play where both of our corners went man. I still don't know if he's the best fit for a zone defense, although he's been better than I expected so far.

And Collins was somewhat overrated after last year, but everyone has come down from that by now. I'm confident that Bigby is a good player when he's healthy. He's not the best in coverage, but I've still been impressed by how long he sticks with receivers, while actually being more of a LB-type safety. If anything, I'd call HIM underrated. Problem with him is health.

Don't forget the Packers first offensive play which, arguably, could have been a MN TD had not the refs had a quick whistle.

apparently it's a good thing that i was on the road for the first half, huh? walking in the door to the 3rd quarter, i'd have no idea wtf you guys were complaining about. having seen only the majority of the 2nd half, i actually felt pretty good about how we fared against what is quite clearly, a better team.

and then...i looked at the stats from the first half - UGH!!! it'd be nice if just freakin ONCE this team could play a COMPLETE game!! the only good (if you can call it that) i saw is that the team DID come together in the 2nd half & gave em a run for their money. other than that, it's more of the same. OL freakin SUCKS, stupid penalties, etc...
