Pittsburgh Steelers

Man, it looked like the Bears were toast after that first Steelers drive...8 minutes off the clock, 92 yards and a TD. In the meantime the Bears offense came out of the gate sputtering with two consecutive three and outs. Then the big INT by Charles Tillman switched up the momentum just a tad as the Steelers were marching down the field again and finally the Bears punched through at the end of the first half to tie the score.

The Pittsburgh Steelers arrive into town and it makes me wonder if the organization has to ever worry about players defecting like the Cuban national baseball team. Do they arrive in a new city and wonder if Hines Ward will run for the embassy and hope he never has to return to Pittsburgh again?

The NFL.com preview had this interesting note on the game:

When Roethlisberger has a 100-plus passer rating, the Steelers are 29-2 (including the playoffs)

So when the QB plays a really good game, the Steelers win most of their games? I'm shocked to learn this.

So today I unveil my full-proof plan for the Bears to beat the Steelers.

Greetings from the clutches of Middle America and the city that works...as long as you know which palms to grease. (I don't know why they left me off the 2016 Olympic bid committee.)

The Bears come home licking their wounds from the loss up in the sister and sausage loving Great White North. In Lambeau Field, Bear fans saw the loss of 2/3 of their starting linebackers and, for some, the end of the Jay Culter honeymoon. Waiting for the limping Bears at the newly resodded Soldier Field are the Super Champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Joy.
