I was thrilled to see Favre lose, but so upset watching the Bears look bad. Benson really proved his point. He said he was going to get even and roll right through and he sure did. The Bears are in desperate need of help. Defense sucks and offense is struggling. Cutler has no protection whatsoever. I don't understand the receiver situation and I can't believe the number of interceptions Cutler has thrown either. I would dump Ron Turner first then Lovie. I think this season is looking like another washout. :( The only thing I am looking forward to now is the next match up between the Vikings and Packers at Lambeau field. That ought to be a good one with the crowd involvement. I hope Aaron Rodgers shines and defeats the Vikings.
