Easy Marty, they had a good week but let's not pretend they're suddenly the '85 Bears.

I never said they're the '85 Bears.  But, at least for one week, they do seem to have fixed all the really stupid stuff like having 12 men on the field, not knowing where to line up, and being totally confused about who is supposed to cover who, and that is progress that should be acknowledged.  For one week at least, they knew where to line up, they got pressure on the passer, they covered well, tackled well, and somehow, they kept one of the best offenses in the league out of the end zone.  

So, if last week I said Joe Cullen might be gone in a game or two, I have to acknowledge that, for at least one week, he turned things around completely.

Some people on this message board take a position and stick to it no matter what.  I don't want to be one of those people.  There's new evidence this week, and it's time to adjust some opinions based on new evidence.
