Up or down. Boom or bust. Relevant or buried in a mound of hot garbage.
We’re talking about the Bears. Also, the Bulls.
It’s a mighty big week on the homefront in part because the 5-4 Bears, losers of three straight, find themselves at the crossroads of win-a-football-game and don’t-call-us-we’ll-call-you. Maybe it’s where they belong. Maybe they’re lucky to be there, when you really think about it. You saw their close shaves in season-opening wins against the Lions, Giants and Falcons. It could’ve been a lot worse than this.
Ah, but here come the Vikings to Soldier Field on Monday.
