They stuck it to a surging NYG team in week 10, they even bombed the defending NFC champs, Seattle, 2 times.


Although shakey towards the end, the defense is ranked #1 in the league. They earned it.

5th in the league in total yards allowed. And there is no way Chicago had the #1 defense in the league. That honor lies squarely with Baltimore.

the michael lewis fumble and the offensive pass interference, but we still lost

I really think the ball was coming out. Even Aikman agreed on that.


The offensive pass int wasn't there though. The ref that was out of position called that.

Probably just the usual BS color commentary to hype the game up.

there is such a thing as "over celebrating" though.

it was coming out then he had possession again.

yeah, those plays gave the bears good field position and 14 points.

but we still lost, the bears deserve the win.

after watching plays and highlights all night ... few things stuck in my head.

1. Reggie Bush.
Although a GREAT play (the 88 yard'er), there was NO NEED for the taunt on Urlacher. You got everyone beat by 15 yards, to turn around and point with your left hand?! The flip and dance was nothing more than the icing on the ragecake. I'm sure that threw the Bears' defense into overdrive.

I remember this one play where Urlacher unloaded on a TE or WR in the center of the field ... ouuuuch.

2. Mark Anderson.
The rookie defensive end looked like he was shot out of a cannon all night. The jumps he'd get off the ball were huge.

3. Benson / Thomas
Benson is a pile mover. Thomas picks and dances through defenses. The mixed running styles made for an effective combo.

4. Rex Grossman
What do Manning, Brees, and Brady have in common? They all threw interceptions. Grossman was the only QB not to have a turnover yesterday.

5. Brad Maynard
The Bears punter kept the surging Saints pinned deep on several occasions. The Bush 88 yard'er was a freak play, there's no way that'd happen more than once.

6. Clean play
0 turnovers, 1 penalty, 0 sacks for the Bears. That's mistake free football.
