Offense? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Offense!

While the Pollyanna's over at that other site have gone from sobbing that the overrated Rafael Furcal is a Dodger, to wondering who Jim Hendry will go for next, to blaming me (aren't there seven stages of grief?), the Bears continue to do the impossible.

They keep winning with one half an NFL team. Considering that one half, the defense, is about as good as has been seen in 10 years, it's not surprising they are in games. But how many times in a row can the coin flip heads for a victory?

Let's be clear on a few things:

1) Kyle Orton has no business quarterbacking an NFL team right now. I dunno if it's because he's bad, because he's a rookie, because he's still drunk from his night at the Sports Column, or some combination thereof, but he belongs holding a clipboard right now.

2) For all that, if Brett Favre is the Bears' QB yesterday, the Bears lose. Brett Favre may be one of the worst QBs in all of football right now. When, on fourth down, he passed up running for a first down and threw an incomplete instead, you knew the game was over and Brett would rally the Bears to a win.

The Chicago Bears are two players from winning a Superbowl. Unfortunately, those players are Roger Staubach and Jerry Rice. If this team finds a QB in the next month and one more receiver to go with him, the stand a chance against Indianapolis.

Not a good one, but a chance.

Right now, it'll be one and done in the playoffs for this team. And, don't look now, but those Vikings just don't want to lose...
