    I wonder if it's health related.

    I noticed the other night he was calling plays from the booth and I don't know when he started doing that..although that is no longer unusual. I agree though I would take him in a minute and I won't be at all surprised if somebody does does before this year is over.

    Surprising. If it's not health related, something must be seriously wrong with the team to resign after 2 losses when you have a 5-2 record and lead your division.

    Well, the Vikes made me sick this week and also knocked me out of a decent size suicide pool.

    Ha! Same here! I was fuming! They easily had the best matchup this week aside from maybe Pats-Bills.

    Never take a division game in a suicide pool, let alone a division game on the road.

    See above --- definitely not a match up for a survivor pool.
    So not sure why you would think they had the best match up.

    True, but the Bears have been pretty bad, and the Vikings D has been top notch. It was Cutler's first game back off injury, and the Bears have the worst scoring offense in the league. It had blowout written all over it. I didn't expect their offensive line to completely collapse like that.

    Agree. Those are the basic rules but sometimes you need to bend the rules when you've got a fifth or sixth ranked team up against number thirty and you need to look forward another five or six weeks or so.
    There was also that Chicagoland mojo this week but the main reason I'm out is the sleepwalking Minnesota did throughout the game, even in the fourth quarter when they needed to move the ball.
