Bears Bites: Half the defense hurt but still an impressive win
Playing without about half your defense.
On the road again — this time on the opposite coast — and in prime time.
To slog out that kind of win?
In a word: Impressive.
Remind me again:
How the heck did the Bears lose at home to Buffalo??
But:
As much as that loss still stings, it's still you're division-leading Bears (2-1), and that ain't such a bad thing.
Old school:
They did it with defense, special teams and basically without Brandon Marshall.
Who'd a thunk?
Better and better:
Oh Phil Emery, you are looking very wise with your pick of Kyle Fuller.
Very, very wise.
Random thought:
That commercial with those active seniors bopping their way around the dance floor?
Intoxicatingly weird.
Pretty sure:
I'll never be comfortable when the Bears go back to punt.
Unsung heroes:
The D.
Ahmad Dixon.
Martellus Bennett.
Not quite perfect:
As good as this win feels, there are still some issues.
Issues like dumb penalties and the running game.
Ah, but that's kinda nitpicky after a win like this, isn't it?
And the beat goes on:
Bears, Packers ... Sunday.
You ready?
