Minnesota Vikings VS. Chicago Bears - Second Half Game Thread

Briggsie_tiny by ChiFan13 on Comment 326 comments

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.

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.

Used to be good

But he has to be like 50 now. I mean, I remember watching him as a little kid, and I’m 22 now.

Living in the Twin Cities,

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?”

Honestly, what is wrong with this defense and protecting a lead?

Last week was a fluke that I can grasp, but giving up 4th and 16 after a sack?

And then, the three way-tie becomes a two-way tie until the Colts slay the Pack, leaving da Bears as the NFC North leaders. That’d work for me!
