Offense, think offense, they cannot be an 11-5 team living on takeaways and defensive scores. How did that work out for them last year? Winning the division, don't see it, plenty of ball to be played yet. They haven't won convincingly yet!

Sorry! I look at it in a different way, I guess.

Because the Bears are the reigning #1 team in the league at takeaways and have the greatest kick returner in the history of the NFL.

2012 Season takeaways.....Bears #1 in league with 44....but the Vikings were really close with their 22 takeaways ranking them 22nd in the league.

The vikes average about 1 KO return a year for a TD. Yep 1 in 16 and you are when I note that's pretty fortunate?

If Adrian Peterson had torched them for 175yds and 3 TD's then I'd salute the guy....because that's what he can do.

I stand by my comment that the Vikes got some big breaks and still managed to lose. It's what they do.

To be even more specific, the O Line looks a lot steadier this year. Cutler is getting enough time for the most part, which has helped him stay composed and not make too many turnovers.

BEARS!

Viqueens and Peckers both fall today. Unfortunately it looks like the Detroit Kittens are gonna pull off a win. Even so, tonight represents a good opportunity to start pulling away from the Pack early, which would be a good thing.

Well so far they've been more convincing than the Cheese Puffs.

You've got me there, no more comments from me and no excuses. Rodgers was a mess and speaking of INTs, he had some today! Bears can go 3-0, while the Packers sit at 1-2, definitely not the way I thought things would go! Keep playing this way and they will end up on the bottom of the NFC North or a few games ahead of the Vikes, Yikes!!!

I will take wins over losses convincing or otherwise anyday.

You're right! Bottom line at the end of the season, wins/losses is all that matters!

Bush: so good, he can score 3 touchdowns in the same down series!

So far so good.
