The Chicago Bears got back to the Victory Column with a queasy win over the futile St. Louis Rams, 17-9 last Sunday.

They didn't do it easy either.  One would think this would be a sleep-walk win.  Not with this team.  The Bears won, because St. Louis was that bad.  The Bears got touchdowns from Earl Bennett and Matt Forte, backed by a careful Jay Cutler, to earn the win.  The defense played better, holding the Rams to 3 field goals.  However, this is the Rams, and not the Vikings the Bears defeated.  Chicago (5-7) is a mediocre at best team this season.  The holes are finally showing. 

If this was a good Bears team, the score would be close to 34-3.  They eked by with a win to diminish the pressure off of coach Lovie Smith and the entire team.  Betcha coaches and players got a good night's sleep.  It would be nice to see the record reversed, but this is not the case.

It's official.  The Chicago Bears 2009 season is a train wreck.  Jay Cutler threw for 3 interceptions, now has 25 his career high, while Raven QB Joe Flacco dissected the Bears for 4 TD's in a 31-7 loss at Baltimorle.  The Bears are now 5-9 and are not going forward. 

It's been a bad Bears year and a nightmare season for Jay Cutler.  Here is this young stud who looks completely shot.

He's used to throwing 25 TD's, not 25 picks.  OK, the offensive line needs fixing up- --and the defense misses Brian Urlacher.  But this team needs seven players to fill holes, not two.

The bright spot for this year has been the reliable kicking of Robbie Gould, who should be given consideration for Most Valuable Bear.  He kicks field goals and makes extra points, whenever the Bears happen to score a touchdown.

When receiver Devin Aromashado grabbed QB Jay Cutler's 39 yard heave in OT, for the winning score, Soldier Field erupted in joy.  An OT win over the Vikes, now that tastes good for the holidays.

If this happened more often.  Cutler and the Bears played tough, hard nosed football, and in the first half, looked like "Monsters of the Midway" when they took a 16-0 lead.  But the Vikings with Brett Favre, a sure hall of famer, rallied the team for a late score to tie the game.  Favre, had one bullet let to tie the game on a great corner grab by Simon Rice.

OT was a chess match and the Bears made the final winning move.

In all, four different receivers caught balls for TD's, from the maligned Cutler.  Last night, he looked the part of a QB who could do some damage.  ESPN made a typo on their summary which had the Bears at 6-9.  I believed that, and said to my step-father, another Bears loyalist, "if they beat Detroit, that would make a terrible season, bad."  Then I realized the Bears had five wins. and if they win in Detroit it would be six.  Yikes!  That's a tough season, no getting around it.  But the Bears showed that they can play and frozen fans had plenty to cheer about.
