Minnesota Vikings VS. Chicago Bears - Second Half Game Thread

Hate 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.

I think Kyle Orton has demonstrated that he can produce in the NFL. He has really matured over the past couple of games.

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.

I can tell you that Minnesotans prefer suffering silently to actually admitting aloud that they have a grievance. It’s called “MInnesota nice”, but it’s more like, “Now, you don’t wanna rock the boot, okee?”
