Cutler and the Bears looking sharp in the Monday nighter

[True Dough]

The offense has been varied and effective while the defense has shut the Vikings down. Minnesota has looked anemic last week and this week.

1. The Vikings O-Line sucks pretty hard.

I think that was the main problem yesterday. Had they performed better (I'd take even average at this point), the Vikings D would not have been on the field as much and Chicago would have had fewer opportunities to score. The Bears had some really solid decisions on offense, but should never have been given that many opportunities.

I don't know if that O-Line can be fixed.

2. ^^^ True dat

And Bradford missed some key opportunities in the air. He wasn't horrible, but some points were taken off the board with passes that were off the mark when he wasn't even under pressure.

3. Injuries finally caught up to them.

5-0 was amazing given all the players we had lost - but we are clearly now scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to O-linemen, and it shows. With zero cap space to work with, a trade isn't even an option right now unless we do something REALLY stupid like give up a promising young star.

Missing Sendejo on D was also a bummer.

4. Never thought I'd get to the point where I wished Kalil was back.

Those tackles were just horrible. Bradford has NO confidence he wasn't going to get killed on any given play.
