Orton is the best the Bears have right now. It’s obvious his throwing has been out of wack since his injury. We just have to live with it. Besides, since the receivers on this team hardly get open, who needs the deep ball? Just keep dumping it off to Clark, Olsen, and Forte. Tell Hester just to run deep so he attracts some coverage.

Better Orton than Rex. Granted, he’s got no long ball–he’s got the arm but not the accuracy–and in an ideal world would be a solid backup, but even yesterday’s performance was better tha Rex I-fumbled-another-snap Grossman.

Obviously Kyle Orton must be **** Lovie’s **** to be handed the starter position!! This guy should not even be wearing a NFL uniform let alone a BEARS uniform!!! C’mon Lovie’s gotta go!!!!!!!!!!1

Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers – it doesn’t matter. The Bears can’t handle the pressure on MNF against the Pack.

Here’s an interesting bad stat:

We have not beat the Packers on Monday Night Football since September 22nd, 1986. Keep in mind though, that every time after that that we have played the Packers they had Brett Favre.

1986-09-22 Bears 25 Packers 12 Lambeau Field
1994-10-31 Packers 33 Bears 6 Soldier Field
1995-09-11 Packers 27 Bears 24 Soldier Field
1997-09-01 Bears 24 Packers 38 Lambeau Field
2002-10-07 Packers 34 Bears 21 Memorial Stadium (Champaign, Illnois)
2003-09-29 Packers 38 Bears 23 Soldier Field

I hope we can change this tonight!

Yes, the running game and short passing game–both things the Bears can do very well–will be key tonight. I was so pissed off at the Bears after the last Packer game, and the Viking loss a couple weeks later, I practically swore off the team and the season. I’ve gotta admit, after watching all those cards fall over the weekend, things are pretty darn exciting once again. If they do win out and make the playoffs, they will do so with a head full of steam and a first round home game …

Will you be tailgating as well? I hope the Bears performance makes it all worth it. I really do. Nothing worse than freezing your ass off while watching the Bears fail miserably. But praise Jeebus, that won’t happen. I think which ever team can run the ball more effectively will win. Their fate is in their hands. Let’s just hope their hands will be a little less frozen than the Packers.
