Minnesota Vikings VS. Chicago Bears - Second Half Game Thread

PrintHate to say that I've missed the majority of this half, but by reading through the game threads, it looks like I've saved myself a couple of strokes by being gone. Thank the lucky stars that I was able to watch Graham's interception and Booker's terrific ball wrangling skills.
Hopefully we can play better as a team (meaning all three units at a time) in the second half.

Let that be a lesson
A lot of times these “jog along” guys let up or slow down before their teammates actually cross the goal line, but this is a good reminder of the importance of staying close and on point.

Great game....just a great game.
I’ve been impressed with all three units second half. Orton has been doin great.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
good chance we go over 50 points
when was the last time we scored 50?
we ran up a bunch on san fran in 06
I hope Orton has finally shed the "game manager" label.
He’s become much more then that.

Thought it was a weird omen when the media was giving Orton props

my redskins dad called last weekend
after the heartbreaking loss, and said to take heart ’cause Kyle Orton has a lotta talent and is young! I thought he was trying to cheer me up, but maybe he meant it.

He probably won't because it's a trendy buzzword
And the Vikings are a bad pass defense (at least statistically). But, Orton has definitely progressed this season, and honestly I never thought he was capable of it.

Captain Neckbeard is going to be promoted to Admiral Neckbeard if they win this
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
I meant
if the Bears win (ohpleaseohpleaseohplease), then, as a compliment, his rank will improve to Admiral. Later on, he can go for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs er something, but one rank at a time.
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
exactly, though the turnovers have been good
just wished they haven’t given up over 30 points
2009 Cubs: Well, Seems so far away..
A stop here, and some clock milking is in definite order

Well a long drive that runs down the clock would essentially lead to a score

or play fake roll out like we’re the illini and are running the spread offense

Could you imagine how many the Vikings would have scored, or how many fewer yards than 56 Forte would have had if they didn’t concentrate on those things. Thank god.
