Yes, the Cubs are moving in a better direction…your thoughts, please!

Yeti is on the far right.

Yes, that is really him everybody. We were at the Blackhawks game on Saturday night. Sadly, we didn’t have enough time to talk stats but he did tell me that life is good. Him and his wife drove about three hours from Springfield for this game. Special thanks to Fork and CT at Hockeenight for getting us tickets. From left to right in the picture, it’s me, Fork, the famous Big Cheyenne, CT and Yeti.

As the last two games have gone, I have just stopped having expectations. Then, the Bears surprise everyone by being in a game with a chance to win. Today, this drove me nuts. The Bears were helpless after three quarters and somehow, someway, they find a way to win for the second week in a row. Most of us would probably agree, they had no business even being in this. They were playing a team just as bad as them.

Jay Cutler: I don’t know if it was his hamstring or what, but he wasn’t anything special for the first three quarters. He was under-throwing receivers and it didn’t seem like there was any zip on his passes. It didn’t help early on that the offensive line couldn’t block anybody. Charles Leno was terrible and I won’t give Hroniss Grasu too much crap since it was his first game. But that line wasn’t anything spectacular. When Cutler is running for his life the entire first half, I think it’s fine for us to give him a pass on that fumble in the end zone. But when it was all said and done, he lead his second straight game-winning drive.

The receivers: Marquees Wilson, Cameron Meredith and Martellus Bennett all had great catches during crucial times. Wilson caught the first touchdown pass on a great throw from Cutler in a really tight spot. And Martellus Bennett came up huge on the game-winning drive.

Vic Fangio: Okay, this defense isn’t last year’s defense. It was looking like it in the final seconds when Alex Smith was trying to win the game. But holy shit. The Bears sacked Smith three times and only gave up 10 points. Sure, there were two drives where they couldn’t stop the receivers but only giving up 10 points should be more than enough to give the offense a chance to win. Sam Acho and Willie Young had a great day. It’s a work in progress but it’s good to see.It really sucks what happened to Jaamal Charles. He’s one of the best running backs in the game and it appears that he will be out for the season.

Pernell McPhee: This guy is earning is money. The Bears are down 17-3 when the Chiefs have a chip-shot field goal coming up. This guy runs right through the line and blocks the attempt. This was the turning point in the game. The Bears drove down and only had a field goal, but it started the comeback. And don’t forget about how he’s played on defense. The 3-4 system is great for him.

Matt Forte: This guy is the offense. He does everything. It sucks that he is going to be 30 in December and on his last year of his contract. I don’t think the Bears will bring him back because of the shelf life of an NFL running back. He runs the ball, he catches passes and he can block. Today, he caught the game-winning touchdown on a great pass from Cutler.

The Bears head to Detroit to face the Lions next week. They are a tire fire right now and if the Bears want any chance to make the playoffs (yes, I said playoffs), they have to win this game. In the NFL, there is a big difference between 3-3 and 2-4.

Cardinals up next…..

….to be continued.

Okay. Are they worst fans or is it still, Vikings fans? Whatever. Regardless, this game pissed me off to no end. I ended up having to go to this game since nobody wanted my tickets. That’s right, everybody. Nobody wanted to buy my tickets near or at face value. That’s how awful the Bears are. And they nearly found a way to fuck it up against the Raiders.

John Fox/Adam Gase: Terrible play-calling on offense. What pissed me off the most was the 3rd and 1 in the second half. The Bears just needed a damn yard. Did they really have to call a roll out pass? Cutler threw an interception that turned into a field goal. Yes, Cutler is at fault for that interception. But I think more of the blame goes to Fox and Gase for being stupid enough to call that play. What pisses me off even more is that Lovie and Trestman did the same shit. Why doesn’t anybody fucking learn? Oh, nice of the Bears to nearly fuck it up on the final play of the game. Assholes.

Vladamir Ducasse: I fucking hate this guy and every week, he will get criticized because he deserves it. Today, a false start and holding penalty. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but he has at least two penalties in the first four games. He’s also been at fault for about three sacks because he is a turnstile.

Will Montgomery: The journeyman center is out for the season with a broken fibula. That’s great. Matt Slauson had to fill in at center and that wasn’t a pretty sight. Maybe he will be better next Sunday with more practice. What this means though is that there will be more Vladamir Ducasse and Charles Leno. The Bears are fucked on the offensive line.

Robbie Gould: Everyone on here knows that Robbie Gould has pissed me off the last two seasons with his bullshit comments about feeding his family and missing game-winning field goals. Lately, he’s been terrible on kickoffs, including the illegal procedure on the first one today. Today, the wind was terrible and yet, he nails two field goals from 50+ with the last one being the game-winner.

The Bears face the Chiefs next week on the road. Like the Bears, they are 1-3 but are a better team overall. We’ll see what happens.

You can’t make this shit up.

Just like the Bears, the Bulls need to pull the plug on everybody and start over. Sadly, in the NBA, it takes longer to get back to the promised land. They might as well start now.

Punt – Punt – Punt – Punt – Punt – Punt – Punt – Punt – Punt – Punt

And now, time for my opinions.

• Vladamir Ducasse kicks kittens in his free time.
• Jimmy Clausen doesn’t have any friends.
• Ted Phillips wipes his ass before he takes a shit. – Actually, this is a fact. My bad.
• David Fales slept with John Fox’s wife and that’s why he won’t ever play.

The Raiders are up next at home. I smell 0-4.
