ALL ABOARD, FOR THE BEAR TRAIN

I wrote a few weeks ago about the Bears moving in the right direction. Today they beat a team that is officially a "contender" in the NFL sweepstakes. Frankly, the Panthers did not realy look very good. The Bears defense was dominating.

Now I don't know what to think about this team. I had thought they were the products of a weak schedule, but I guess we have to at least contemplate the possibility that they are a decent team. The offense is pretty weak in the air, but the D and running games look solid.

By the way, the Bears had eigth sacks today, and all eight were by the front four. No sacks on linebacker or safety blitzes. Hey, Jake Delhomme, get rid of the damned ball!
