Back on Track
Cleveland Rocks!
Admittedly, you want to go into games like last weeks expecting to win (which we did), and more importantly, not NEEDING to win. Well, we needed that win.
Whew!
I don't know about you, but I watched the early part of that game with a degree of dread. Chili Dawn and I mentioned it briefly but couldn't dwell on it - if they lose against Cleveland, the season is over. Not mathematically, of course. But it's hard to recover your heart and soul. Those games are harder to watch (of course we'd watch them anyway - we love our Bears).
Thankfully, the Bears won. Logically, we knew they should. The key thing was, they did. For a moment, I even thought Caleb Hanie was going to get in some significant playing time. Alas, it was not meant to be.
So, the monkey's off our back, and we get to start fresh this week. While the Cardinals aren't the explosive, unpredicable, and good-enough team that moxied their way into the Super Bowl last year, they are still a team who can win. And we need to re-prove that we can beat teams like that.
We beat the defending AFC/Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2. We get the bookend in week 8. You seem like a good fellow, Kurt Warner. After this weekend, we'll go back to wishing you well again. Until then...
Go Bears!
