Way to go, Bears!! That was an awesome game! Looks like the “Good” Grossman landed in Soldier Field Yesterday! He came out, playing strong and sure of himself and the rest of the team followed suit.

By scoring 7 points on the Bear’s first possession was outstanding. It was everything I had hoped for. It’s always best when a team can put important points on the board on their first exchange. That leaves the opposing time, feeling as if they are playing catch-up. The momentum goes directly to the winning team.

The key points of the game (in order) were 1) The 68-yard pass completion and stumble run-in by Bernard Berrian to put us ahead by 7 in the first half. 2) The decision by Ron Turner and Lovie Smith to go for it on 4th and 1 on the 7-yard line, quickly followed by Thomas Jones running the ball in to the end zone, making the score 21-14, just into the beginning of the second half. (2 TD's for Jones during the gam!) 3) Briggs, stopping the run on 3rd down, forcing Seattle to settle with a field goal. 4) Ogunleye’s sack on 3rd and 1. 5) The 4th and 1 stop on Alexander by Briggs. 6) Jones saving that potential interception on a muffed play. 7) Tank sacks on 3rd and 10 to force the game into overtime. 8) The Bear defense stops Seattle on their first possession in overtime. 9) A completed 30-yard pass to Davis on 3rd and 10 and of course, 10) the 49-yard field goal by Gould.

Everyone worked very hard for this win. It was easy to determine that the Bears wanted it bad. Playing at home had its noise advantages too, I’m sure. Hopefully, home-field advantage will play a part in this weekend’s fight against the Saints. As long as the Good Rex comes out to play on Sunday, The Bears should be able to find themselves, awaiting their turn at The Super Bowl!

Way to go, guys! We knew you had it in you! Keep up the good work and let’s show everybody that we mean business! The road to The Super Bowl IS within our reach! Time to study some New Orleans film, make the proper adjustments where needed and send The Saints home with a firm sendoff!
