Kenneth Sothman, Bears Superfan

I'll admit, I've been avoiding blogging today due to one reason, so I'm going to get it out at the very beginning. The Indianapolis Colts are the best team in the NFL at this point right now. I'm not saying that it's going to be that way at the end of the season, but the Colts and Peyton Manning despite an awful run-defense are on top of the mountain right now.

Trust me, it hurts alot more to say that then anybody reading this really knows.

As far as the Chicago Bears go, they can deal with a loss. In fact we have to look at it realistically: they were going to lose eventually. With a lack of a consistent quarterback, they truly are bound to lose three or four games at the least.

I said it once and I'll say it again, the Chicago Bears may live by the long ball, but there's a good chance they'll die by the long ball too.

At this point though, there's no turning back with Rex and his Jon Garland factor. No matter how good or bad Rex does from this point on, us fans have to deal with the fact he is indeed going to be our starting quarterback from here on out. Which means for every two or three really good games he has, there's going to be a bad game like this. At this point, that's truly the difference between Rex having a good season and a great season.

Marcus makes a good point maybe the Bears need an identity change, but truthfully, the Bears can't win a Superbowl without Rex throwing the long ball. It's a gamble we truly have to take.

To tell the truth, I can't be as nice as Gail is, besides Robbie Gould staying perfect I saw no positives in yesterday's game. A loss to the Miami Dolphins and a Joey Harrington led offense at home before a long road trip is alomst inexcusable. It can be argued that the turn-overs were what killed us, but from the game I watched I also saw a Miami Dolphins offense score 24 points while Ronnie Brown ran for over 150 yards.

And it maybe early, but I think yesterday truly was the Bears first must-win game of the season before this dreaded road-trip takes place. And they blew it.

But yesterday is done, we can set it aside, and only look to the future. I hope this future includes Brian Urlacher and Bernard Berrian, but if it doesn't we'll have to stride forward anyways.
