Watching the Chicago Bears finally win a game has restored my confidence that Chicago teams are still alive. The Bears 5-9 (now 6-9) beat the 11-3 (now 11-4) Vikings which actually did something other than benefit or hurt themselves.
It was nice to see the Bears still trying to show signs of life, but the play calling is still highly questionable. How the heck can you call yourself a running team when you've got a quarterback with an arm, and a RB averaging less than 4 yds per carry?
One sports analyst made a rather interesting inference: If the Bears run the ball with little effects it would force third and long situations; making it tough for even well seasoned quarterbacks to convert. The trade off is that passing a lot leads to Cutler having a ton of picks, like his predecessor who shall remain nameless.
On the bright side it looks like their defense begun to stir from their long hibernation.
I really hoped the Bears would have at least broke the .500 mark with the resources they invested in Jay Cutler. Better luck next years.
Go Bears.
