I'm late to the conversation, but I will toss my two cents in.
There's no denying it, the Bears played horrible. They were attempting too many passes and not enough rushes. It was like they were trying to be the Colts or something. However, it is a testament to the Vikings for being able to pressure Grossman as well as they have. I was wrong on my earlier sentiment that the Vikings sucked. Clearly they don't, and they have a great shot at the playoffs. But you cannot take away what Grossman did. He was out of his element, down by 4, I don't care how long he had to march down the field. He still went 40 yards and got the TD in the 4th quarter for the first time in his career. The Bears will be dangerous once they realize what butters their bread and goes back to that formula. Not to mention the Bears hadn't won at Metrodome since 2001. This year the Bears managed to win at both Lambeau, where they historically do bad (and lose) and now the Metrodome. As far as division play is concerned, they are going to have an easier time (two home games vs the Pack/Vikes and 1 road game vs the Lions). The real key is next week, when they play Seattle, and it will be interesting to see where the Bears are at then.
