Bears beat the Men in Braids
The Bears beat Minnesota 27-13 yesterday, moving into a tie with the idle Snot 'n' Pus for first in the NFC Central.
While I neglected to mention it, they also beat Buffalo last week. But then, so does everybody else- except Detroit.
The Ursine Warriors are not 6-3. Had Lovie but thrown the challenge flag when Jay Cutler fumbled after scoring what should have been the winning touchdown in the Washington game, they'd be 7-2. On the other hand, they probably would have lost the Detroit game if it weren't for that weird rule about receivers releasing the ball, so I guess 6-3 is probably about right.
I have no illusions about our winning the Super Bowl. Or going to the Super Bowl. Or getting very far into the playoffs. I will only say that any year in which we beat Green Bay twice and Minnesota at least once is a success- and beating both of them twice is very nearly as satisfying as taking home the Lombardi Trophy.
And we're half-way there!
