Kenneth Sothman, Bears Superfan

Wait... there's actually NFL games being played this weekend? Really? By watching the television this past week, I thought the only game being played this weekend was Ohio State and Michigan. And here I thought I had the week off... ;)

But it's nice to see all our bloggers back! See, there was nothing to worry about all along. This team is just too good to string together losses. But of course I have a biased opinion since I missed the ugly first quarter becuase I was driving back to Muncie, but what from I saw, the Bears looked pretty good.

Speaking of the first half, I for one had no worries when I saw we were down. How could we expect Chicago to just come out firing? I mean they were the visiting team, against a tough Giants team, on national television, and were in weather conditions they hadn't experienced all season. They were bound to take a long amount of time to find their groove, which we only seem to score in big chunks at a time anyways rather then spread out.

As a final note from the past week's game, I'd say I was shocked from the amazing Devin Hester field goal return, but the only thing running through my head was my #23 theory (anybody that wears #23 in Chicago turns out to be a legend, as shown by Jordan, Dye, and Sandberg). At this point, it's inevitable, Devin Hester is going down as a Chicago Bear great.

But before I get into tomorrow's game, there's one more thing I have to say: Let's go Cowboys!

Now on one end, I really think it's going to take a good quarterback performance (You can call me Captain Obvious) to beat the Bears, which lucky for us Chad Pennington has bee putting up Kordell Stewartt-like numbers since week two. His yard totals over the past seven weeks: 168, 108, 189, 175, 71, 207, and 183. We're also looking at a quarterback with only ten touchdowns and nine interceptions on the season, so unless we turn the ball over an extreme amount of times, the Jets won't score over 20 points.

With that said, the Jets are a tough team, and I really like how Eric Mangini has this team playing. I mean on paper there's almost no reason the Jets should be 5-4, and almost 6-3 if a failed fourth down conversion against those pesky Colts didn't fail. But as of right now this Bears team will be too much for them to handle, so I'm looking at a 31-17 Bears victory.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go put in another pin in my Peyton Manning voodoo doll...
