"All the years I've played against them, I think defensively this is as well as I've seen them play," said a banged-up Favre, who had swelling in his wrist and a cut on his hand after hitting it on the helmet of a Bears' defensive linemen while delivering a third-quarter pass.
"They're just good."
Damn straight, Brett Favre. And once the Eagles beat Seattle tonight (you gotta believe), I want y'all to start practicing saying the words "the first-place Chicago Bears."
Actually, this Bears team reminds me of the 2003 team, where their defense and special teams play, and a ton of weirdo lucky breaks, got them to the playoffs. There has been a pathetic lack of offense for the Bears for many, many years.
Chicago's Kyle Orton was 6-of-17 for 68 yards, while Thomas Jones ran for 93 yards and passed 1,000 for the first time in his career. The Bears didn't convert a third-down in the game (0-for-10) and Muhsin Muhammad had no catches for the first time since 2002, a span of 51 overall games and 47 in the regular season.
Which, I mean, wow. Less than 100 yards passing, less than 100 yards for the leading rusher, and not a single third-down conversion! How does this happen?
