If They Would Just Listen to Me: The CHICAGO BEARS Can Win The NFC CHAMPIONSHIP!


“Its a death trap, its a suicide rap
We gotta get out while were young
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run…”
--Bruce Springsteen, Born to Run, 1975.

Here is how the Bears beat the Saints. Seriously, I have pondered this problem for hours. I have re-watched the second Seahawks game, and I have reached this all-too-obvious conclusion.

RUN THE BALL.

Period.

That’s all they need to do. The Offensive Line in run schemes, Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson truly won the game yesterday. After watching it, the Bears seemingly could run at will. If they do this, with some play action passes on a few deep routes to Barrian and Davis, some over the middle short routes to Clark, and some sideline routes to Muhsin, they will be OK—but all is worth nothing unless the Chicago Bears RUN THE BALL 40 times. If they do so, they will win.

Having noted that, the Bears Defensive line needs to step it up. The line was porous over the middle (Hey Urlacher—are you listening? Just checking) and they need to practice with the safeties until the end of time, but they can be successful if they RUN THE BALL.

Reggie Bush and McAlister will be a problem, but Drew Brees, I doubt, will beat them.

And the Bears can silence Brees with a ball control offense.

The Saints Defense is not that great and they win by outscoring other teams. The Bears Defense needs to step it up and stop the run and the offense needs to limit the time the Saints are on the field. How does one do that, you may ask? I know, by playing a game where one team RUNS THE BALL.

I have every intention of watching the Bears win and go to the SUPER BOWL. So I hope the team members read this, the fans read this, the coaches read this, and anyone who matters reads this. In fact, email this blog to your friends, your enemies, your neighbors, and everyone you know. Let’s light this puppy up, but the reality is that for the Bears to win, they must RUN THE BALL.

That is unless Rex Grossman passes for 400 yards (which is not likely) so now we are back to square one—RUN THE BALL.

I have added my two-cents worth. And, I thank you.
