Re: lincoln, looks like dabears beat the old guy
And the pitiful Vikings defense made the Bears' offensive line look good (which they aren't).
It's beginning to look like 2007 when Da Bears had a very weak schedule, played above expectations, and were whipped on international television by Peyton Manning and the Colts in Super Bowl XLIV (Da Bears might be lucky to make the playoffs; they might be lucky to win their first playoff game, but no way in hell they'll go to the big game.)
"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from."
