Bears 7 - 3 Vikings
However, the score could more eloquently be put “Bears fuck, Vikings shit.” According to my statistician's marks, there have been 847 turnovers, 312 plays for loss, and 608 missed receivers. (All numbers are approximate; I fear he has taken extra medication to deal with watching the first half.) This game only confirms the Generally Accepted Storylines (GAS) that the NFC has nothing much to offer and that there is little to enjoy about that fact.
Rex Grossman continues to be the lead story; he misses reads and forces throws from his back foot just as in previous weeks. (His checklist to improve is so simple that the Chicago Tribune has sussed it out.) The Bears have also coughed up the ball twice on special teams as well as scored the only touchdown via Devin Hester's mea culpa punt return.
The Vikings, of course, have been just as embarrassing. If you're not yet aware that the thousand-yard rushing mark has been completely devalued, Chester Taylor passed that line in the first half. Brad Johnson has missed the target so often that his wife makes him urinate in the back yard.
It appears for all the world that neither team wants to be out in the cold today. If you have an option and no rooting interest, reward solid craftsmanship and quiet confidence by tuning into another game. If you are cheering for purple or navy blue, chug until the second-half kickoff to help the gentle blackout come and carry you to the end.

Deep, deep into the QB roster we delve.
Sweet performance by Rexy - only againt a team like the Vikes would that amount to a win.
