Bears v. Lions

I'm torn. I'm really really torn.

I'm glad that Detroit is playing the game and having the season they deserve, and thus, getting the respect that they are due.

But, they're playing my Bears.

Well, at least in the name. They're not playing like the Bears can play. And how they should play. They went double digits in the penalty department (even though one should be discounted) and the offense was made only of Jay Cutler and Matt Forte. It's like someone forgot to tell the Bears they were playing tonight.

The defense got worn out and they weren't on the field for too long.

I just wonder if the loss the Bears are suffering is going to be blamed on Jay Cutler because he dared to have a weekend and a life.

Jay Cutler has been phenomenal tonight. He was only able to plant his feet once. Most of his throws were on the run and off balance. The end result was 24 - 13. And that was because of Jay. But, will he get any credit? No.

The ESPN commentators have been on Jay's side, reminding people that the Bears stayed in the game because of him. But, I'm waiting to see how many people blame Cutler.

Nothing can ever stop me from being a Bears fan. NOTHING. They could pull an 2008 Lions and 0 - 16 and I would STILL defend my team. I bleed blue and orange.

I offer my congratulations to the Detroit Lions for going 5 - 0. They deserve it.

That said, however, I leave you with this: BEAR DOWN!
