What happened to the Bears this season?
1. Inconsistent Q.B. play has killed us.
I love Rex but Rex did not come through this season. Chicago has not had a good QB since Jim McMahon and a great QB since Sid Luckman.
2. Way too many injuries to key players.
I don't even want to start a list here because it makes my stomach turn. I know the Colt's have managed to win despite some key injuries...They have not had as many key injuries but the Colt's have been impressive this season despite those set backs. The Bears on the other hand have not...
3. A poor running attack for a run first team.
Cedric Benson has not been very good (he is out for the season of course). Thomas Jones was the team captain and a better running back (he's in NY because he and Benson did not get along). We were good when we had those guys carrying the ball 20 times (each) a game. Benson was a #4 pick bust.
4. Rex and Brian need guys who can catch the ball. The Bears lead the league in drops. Enough said!
5. The ball has clearly not bounced Chicago's way this season (bad luck/providence).
6. The NFC North got alot better this season. Green Bay is actually very good. The Vikings hit the jack pot with A Peterson. The Lions have been so bad for so long they have top 10 picks at every position (and they still are not great).
7. Not enough off season upgrades. We thought this team with most our returners would return to the Super Bowl. Why 31 teams did not go after Randy Moss is indeed a mystery?

It seems to me, brother, that the subtitle of your blog would more accurately reflect the contents of the blog if it read, "A Christian blog primarily dedicated to the NFL, with occasional reflections on Biblical and theological issues." Also, concerning your comments on Peyton Manning and the colts: It seems that the inconsistencies in your eschatological positions have crept into your ability to accurately comment on sports. All that said jokingly, I hope you and your family are doing well. If you're ever down in Louisville give me a call.

Ryan Lunsford,
I am glad to see those S. Baptists have not taken your sense of humor away from you. Maybe that is the fruit of being married to a good lady. Andrea and I are doing well and now have 2 kids!
So you are at SBTS i see? How far along are you in your MDiv or ThM program?
We have enjoyed having Drs Ware, Sills, and Nettles to our church. Andrea and i were able to host Dr. Nettles and Dr. Ware. SBTS has some wonderful profs. Drop by again and we'll give you a call if we are ever down in L-ville.
Bears lose Grossman and Benson and half there D in one season. No wonder they stink!
So, if I read the papers correctly, the Vikings beat da Bears twice this year...is that correct?
So Pat Howell tracks me down. :)
Yes your Vikes beat up on my Bears this season.
I am hoping for 2 more loses at this point in the season. We need some draft help!
