How about just giving it to your best player, Forte every time? Did he really believe Forte couldn't get a yard? Nothing could piss me off more than throwing the ball on 1st and goal from the 1 yard line. And Jason Davis? I'm so pissed. Effing Turner, and Haugh drilled it as he usually does.

I'll say it again, the Bears defense is average at best. They went into St. Louis and looked good for one game, but that was with the Rams only decent offensive player (Steven Jackson) on the bench. Tillman is starting to look bad and teams aren't shying away from throwing at him, even without Vasher on the other side. That's pretty telling. Also, just when Tommy Harris was starting to show the old motor, he gets hurt yet again. The guy just seem to be able to withstand the rigors of the NFL on a weekly basis. It's a shame, too, because he's a great talent. Overall, though, the single biggest reason the Bears aren't an above average team is their lack of wide receiver talent. They never should have let Berrian go, no matter how overpaid he may seem. He's still much more of a threat than any of the Bears receivers. And try as he might, Hester just isn't an NFL wide receiver. He shows flashes sometimes, but overall he just doesn't have the natural instincts or hands to be a starting WR.

The minute the Viking stuffed them on 4th down, I knew it was over. I know Lovie was trying for a knock out blow, but you're already up and the defense is playing ok, so KICK THE FIELD GOAL! The stop gave the Vikings a huge momentum boost and they never looked back. This game was totally dictated by momentum. The minute the Viking stuffed them on 4th down, I knew it was over.

Manning seems to be the bigger threat. Now the Bears have to rely on the Lions to beat the Vikes. Bahahahahahaha! FIRE MORONELLI MANG!!!!!!!!!!!! Why is Hester even returning kicks anymore?
