You would probably bet the farm that if we gave up 41 we would lose this game going away... don't forget Booker's two dropped TDs either. Facts are we won a garbage game that we had to win and we're going to the bye week (which we badly need) in 1st place. nm:.... it appears you're a Vikes fan after reading your post again... Yeah I'm a Vikes fan. Not trying to be sour grapes and say we should have won the game either. We couldn't stop Orton and the passing game all day. Just fortunate they decided to run the ball the last two drives. Just frustrating that a couple fluke special teams touchdowns, some poor coaching on the kickoffs and what I felt (with admittedly biased eyes) was a terrible PI call, we lost by 7. I actually feel better about this loss than the Lions win last week. You got lucky to see the Bears with a secondary that wouldn't start on some college teams, otherwise it wouldn't have even been a close game. Okay. And you got lucky we were down to our 4th string MLB (and the other guy who backed him up was just acquired this week) and a rookie SS instead of our big money free agent pickup. And lucky that our #2 WR missed the game. Seriously if I were a Bears fan (or a Vikings fan who caught those plays in reverse) I wouldn't be playing that game. You got 14 points off of plays where the Bears had to do absolutely nothing to earn them. On top of that you got 7 points on an awful call. But because of those lucky plays, we were able to build up a 17 point lead, play in a prevent cover 2, and run the ball almost exclusively the last 3 possessions. You can't play that game either. The fact is, the game was played and the Bears won.
