But even the commentators who don't like the Bears now still think they can go 7-1 at the half. I don't think anyone thought they would get 7 wins by the half. Maybe 7 by season's end. I still can't figure them out. I would not be surprised if the line plays much better and the Bears blow out Carolina. The defense has been pretty solid though. I am pretty confident that they will bend and not break all season. Sure, but you luck into three straight wins (sort of, in different ways) and your record at the half has to be screwy. I don't buy it that the Bears lucked into three straight wins. They outplayed Dallas and Green Bay. They were lucky to beat Detroit (although they outplayed them), were lucky that Dallas's owner doesn't like having decent kickers on his team, and the combination of earned penalties and mental mistakes from the PAckers is hard to tease apart. Statistically they were around average through the first three weeks, and are sure to drop well below that when they're redone tomorrow. The real surprise here is how bad the Packers are.
