Brett Favre...a Bear?

Could this really happen? Could the man that has crushed my beloved Bears playoff hopes time and time again throughout most of my life actually be coming to assist in that effort? Common sense would say that the Packers would never trade Favre to a divisional opponent, especially not their arch rival/nemesis...right? But what if the Bears were to offer the Packers the best deal for Favre?

In my opinion, the Bears should be thinking daily how to get their hands on Favre. They could easily offer up next years first round pick; they will be using this pick on a QB anyways if they do not have a standout season from Orton or Grossman. Without Favre, their offense is mediocre at best and highly inexperienced in all aspects (running backs, receivers, and offensive linemen). Favre proved last year that he could take a bunch of "no-names" and turn them into an high-powered offense. The even bigger advantage will be the time of possession that the offense will gain which will in turn rest the defense. No defense can be expected to hold for 4 quarters when they are on the field for 2/3 of the game. A huge key to the defense will be if the offense can refrain from 3 and out possessions.

Chicago must do anything and everything to give their best shot at getting #4 into a Bears uniform. Even if it is not possible, let's show the fans that we are looking to win now!

How bad are the Bulls?

It seems like anytime you lose to a team by 30 points in the NBA it was be catastrophic. The Bulls went into LA after a good second half against Phoenix and laid an egg, losing by 28 points. This is a MAJOR sign of a bad team. This should not happen in the NBA especially against a team that according to Kobe is going nowhere; and I would tend to agree.

Here's my biggest argument for how bad the Bulls are playing. The Bulls are supposed to be atop the Eastern Conference, and the Lakers toward the middle to bottom of the West. If you made a Kobe trade, the difference would still not make up for the 28 point debacle that was Sunday night. The Bulls are in trouble and need to do something fast. This December is not as friendly as years before. After all the November road games the Bulls only have 10 out of 17 games at home next month. If they don't turn it around soon, the Bulls could be struggling to just get into the playoffs.

Headline: Bad Defense not Bad Rex

I remember a time last year when you knew as a Bears fan that we only had to score 20 points to get the 'W'. Our defense was great at times but always steady and the staple of the team.
As much as you can try to put the blame on Rex for fumbling the ball by trying to make something out of nothing. Please tell me how many teams can expect to win when their defense gives up 30 points? Rex was 24 of 37 with 266 yards although he could not get the ball in the end zone. Last year, Rex was the problem because everything else was clicking. Currently, the running game and the defense are to blame for the Bears woes.
So please do me a favor and realize that Rex is not the only one to blame for this season. The whole team, including the coaching staff, is just not where they need to be.
