       I predicted the win but that was really scary.

       Packrat when I was expecting the Bears to lose I was going to
       put a post in the Packers thread saying, "This must be how the
       Packer fans felt when they lost against the Bears under Lovie
       Smith...".
       Glad I ended up not having to do that.

       LOL.  I'm glad also, Peke.  I can relate to that.  We all have
       our anxious and scary moments.
       If we are going to be playing for the division championship I'd
       rather it would be between GB and Chicago.

       We WON.
       2-0.
       And now this goddamn PITTSBURGH thing where Pittsburgh never
       has to come to Soldiers ...
       but we always have to go to Pittburgh.
       Whens the last time Pittsburgh Steelers played at Soldiers ?

       Tried flipping to the redzone for the last 1:11 and Siciliano
       called it a "21-21 tie at the half"

       After watching the highlights.  M. Bennett needs to get out of
       bounds after making catch near end of game.  That could have
       been a huge blunder.  Thankfully we still had enough time to
       score that TD.

       All week I was telling people, don't take the Vikings for
       granted.  They have significantly upgraded their talent this
       offseason and had all the motivation in the world to beat us.
       This had all the makings of a trap game and indeed we almost
       fell into it, but somehow pulled out a miracle in the end.
       The GOOD:
       - Obviously, a 2nd clutch performance by Cutler and our offense
       when it mattered
       - GREAT utilization of Forte especially in the first half
       - Great playcalling on offense except for the brain-dead pass
       play that ended up intercepted
       - Martellus Bennett is the real deal...  worth every penny it
       took to get him
       - Alshon Jeffery continues to find his place in the offense;
       he's got a ways to go yet before being considered an elite #2
       but he is taking advantage of the opportunities he is given and
       making D's account for him at least.
       - Hester appears to be back in the groove. He clearly doesn't
       have the speed of his younger days but he is seeing the holes
       again and running with much more authority than we've seen in at
       least a couple of years.
       The BAD:
       - D-line pass rush was MIA for the 2nd straight week; guys like
       Rogers, Stafford and even Big Ben next week will kill our D if
       our guys can't start winning the battles up front; Peppers and
       Melton are the disappointments of the season so far and it's not
       even close
       - OL appeared to regress a bit, especially our OTs in pass
       protection; Cutler had to make a plays on the move and Allen
       straight owned Bushrod on that strip sack
       The UGLY:
       - Special teams return units did great but our coverage squads
       were awful. 105-yd KO return on the opening kickoff plus a
       couple of penalties for too many men on the field... really?  I
       don't think deCamillias is an awful ST coach but the discipline
       and organization that Toub brought to that unit were noticeably
       missing yesterday.
       - Ridiculously bad play call on 1st and goal when we had been
       killing them on the ground. Pass to stone-hands Maneri in triple
       coverage?  I don't think so.
       Clutch win and glad to be 2-0 but you look at how we got to 2-0
       compared to a team like the Broncos and it's clear we are a
       couple notches below elite still. It is almost impossible to win
       when you turn the ball over 4 times yet somehow we did but
       that's not going to happen against most teams.  I'm really glad
       we don't face the Packers for awhile yet cause they looked
       unstoppable yesterday.

       There were a couple of long passes to Jeffery that he didn't
       make.  Be it coverage or the weather or whatever, I just hope
       Jay doesn't stop throwing to him.  And that he starts making
       those long catches.
