The Bears are really good at beating bad teams.
If you told me at the beginning of the season that Vasher and Tillman would be starting for most of the season, Mike Brown would stay healthy, A. Brown would be back as a starter and Lance Briggs would be signed long term, I would have thought we'd once again have a dominant defense.
Most of the players are the same from the Superbowl run. Who's missing? Ron Rivera at Defensive Coordinator.
And, of course, Chris "Warf" Harris.
Robbie Gould and Brad Maynard are the same type of player. They're almost like super heroes.
Maynard is at the bottom of the league's average for distance, but he leads the league in pinning teams inside the 20, which is the best possible thing a punter can do on the field.
Accuracy at short distances pretty much describes Robbie as well.
It's hard to tell if the Bears are even a good team this year. They've shown flashes of goodness, but continue to come up short in "most important games of the season".
Tonight is yet another "must win" against the Saints.
