Bears - Cardinals, Monday Night Football

I am really pissed right now. I wanted the Cardinals to win this game. Why?

• Because I wanted the Colts to be the only undefeated team left.
• The last NFL draft was somehow memorable because it was the first NFL draft I followed hence I have kinda taken it upon myself to support the three main prospects from the draft: Bush, Leinart, and Young. I was really pissed that Leinart dropped to the 10^th pick.

So with these in mind, I set out to watch the game and I was really happy with the way the Cardinals started going 14-0 up in the first quarter. Then, their troubles started. They couldn't take advantage of the mistakes the Bears made and kill the game getting 6 points out of a possible 21 in the second quarter.

But they were 20-0 up at the half and that wasn't so bad.

Then, they started to make mistakes. I am not going to go into the whole game play-by-play. You have SportsCenter and “The Blitz” for that. You can also read more here.

Few questions from the game:

• How do you win when you have six turnovers all from the quarterback? Rex Grossman had 4 interceptions and 2 fumbles.
• What's wrong with Edge? I thought he shouldn't have left the Colts as he had something good going on but I respected his decision. He had 36 carries for only 55 yards and had that fumble. That's an average of 1.5 yards a carry. I think I can do that. And according to the guys on SportsCenter, he's the first player to carry more than 36 times and have fewer than 56 carries.
• What was that offensive lineman who allowed Mark Anderson blow straight past him to sack Leinart which led to the fumble which led to the Bears' first TD doing?
  
• Are the Bears still the best team in football? I have been hearing that all season and it kinda hurts as a Colts fan but I have been giving them the respect that they deserve. But after this game, are they still the best team in football?
  
• What do you do if you were Leinart? Everybody has been doubting you for a while. You put your team in a position to win in your first two games and they conspire to throw it away both times.
  

In other news, the other members of the 2006 draft were on the winning side this weekend. Reggie Bush and the saints were winners in that exciting game on Sunday. As I told all the Redskins fans here who were my friends, Vince Young and the Titans defeated the Redskins.

As I have already told a few Redskins fans, you guys are going 2-5 on Sunday when you come to Indianapolis. I hope I don't have to eat my words. The Colts should join the Bears who have a bye week at 6-0.
