It wasn't luck that granted the Chicago Bears a win versus the Packers, it was a miraculous intervention. Two blocked field goals, a muffed punt fumble recovery, and Kyle Orton giving the Packers the ball in key possessions isn't luck. Luck is when you find a dollar on a street. Or when you get the promiscuous stripper at the Admiral. No, the Bears weren't lucky to beat the Packers, they were blessed to beat the packers.I don't know, maybe God was angry with the Packers' trade of Brett Favre. Maybe, some rotten cheese made its way up there. Or Maybe god just likes the Bears better (Tommie Harris prays a lot). Regardless, you get the point. The Bears aren't good, they aren't lucky; they just had God on their side. On to the TMTs (Bears addition).
1. Kyle Orton is an average quarterback. And just like most NFL QB's, if he gets good protection and has good wide receivers, he's going to play well. On the other hand, if he has shitty wide receivers and poor protection, he'll look like Cade McNown. Kyle isn't a franchise quarterback, unless he surrounded by franchise players. As I have said before, he is a third world country's poor man's Peyton Manning. A good, smart quarterback that lacks consistency, and the ability to throw the long ball (honestly, why can't he throw the long ball? He's just terrible at it. It's always too short or off target.)
2. My ears started bleeding for some reason last night while watching the game. Maybe it was a severe ear infection? Nope. Just Tony Kornheiser.
3. Its cold in Chicago nation. Get over it.
4. Aaron Rodgers (pardon my french) looks like a smug bitch. But, he's a whole lot better than Kyle Orton.
5. For what seemed like the 16th time this season, the Bears couldn't get pressure on the QB while rushing 4 players. I like Alex Brown, but he doesn't get it done. Adewale is always hurting his pinkie and can't play. Mark Anderson looks dazed and confused. Besides a safety, QB, OL, WR, and maybe a corner, the Bears other biggest need is a pass rusher.
6. Lance Briggs was all over the field last night. He makes Brian Urlacher look like Barry Minter. Just an excellent all out effort by the guy.
7. The Packers match up well against the Bears because their corners can play man-to man coverage and shut out our receivers, leaving the safeties to roam the field and stack the box. Its simple, the Bears were playing without WRs last night and couldn't move the ball in the running game as a result. It also doesn't help when your QB throws the ball directly to the other team on at least 5 occasions (besides the two picks, Orton should have been picked off 3 more times).
8. The Bears on the other hand, struggle on defense because if they stack the box, the other team's WRs run havoc on our corners. Charles Tillman isn't a man-to-man cover corner. He plays off his man 10 yards and is always a threat to get beat deep. On the other hand, Corey Graham looks like a beast at left corner. I also hope Mike Brown's all right.
9. The MNF crew got a laugh at our weather sideline reporter, Amy Freeze's name. I find it funny that we need a reporter to tell us what we already know- its f'n freezing out here. Thanks for letting us now Amy that's its minus 12 degrees).
10. Happy Holidays and go Giants.

What about Tommie Harris??? He was a MONSTER yesterday.
I had so many other thoughts, that I didn't include. Harris was good. When you consider that he's really playing on one leg, its even more remarkable. Other thoughts... The Fake Adrien Peterson kills me. His stupid horse collar, late hit out of bounds tackle almost killed me. Also, the coaches decision (or at least what appeared to be) to kick a short kick-off almost made be lose my mind. Lastly, I didn't miss Rashid Davis.
