Nice catch by TE Olsen for the Bears .... closing in on FG range, game tied at 17 with 2 to go.
Looking at 50 yards at the moment.

I think for the last several years now an NFL team has made it to at least 8-0 before losing.
Today, we are down to 4 teams that are undefeated, and two of them play one another tonight.
At this point, we have the Packers and Bears (playing tonight)
The Surprising KC Chiefs and the QB less Pittsburgh Steeler's.
I think we normally have more than 3 teams undefeated at this point.
Will anyone make it to 8-0 this year or beyond ?
Personally, I think the Packers have the best chance.
What do you guy's think ?
Judging by the Bears' upcoming schedule, I could honestly see them having an undefeated record by midseason. Here are their upcoming games:
Giants (another team that looked undisciplined this week)
Panthers (not starting off well, with a rookie QB)
Seahawks (not a good road team in recent years)
Redskins (that's a toss-up, but the Washington pass d has looked leaky the last two weeks)
Bills (haven't been able to stop anyone the last few weeks)
If they can take advantage of this stretch, they could be 8-0 heading into the Minnesota game.
Daze of our Lions -
If you needed any further proof (besides Sunday's disaster) that this is the worst team in the NFL, here it is:
Since the beginning of the 1958 season (The Lions were the NFL champs in 1957) the Lions have lost 443 games. Their nearest competitors? The Cardinals have lost 442, the Jets are next with 409 losses. That pretty much spans my lifetime since I was born 12-25-1957.
Guess I had the misfortune of being born in Detroit. Couple that loss number with ONE playoff win in that span, and you can understand my frustration with this once proud organization.
that a horrible record. almost 9 per year...443 ?
Thats all ????
After Week 3, I think it's "late" enough to do a Hot 10 and Not 10.
Hot 10
1. Pittsburgh- Defense, Defense and MORE Defense!!
2. Chicago- I would have had the Packers #1 if THEY won last night
3. Baltimore
4. NY Jets
5. Green Bay
6. Kansas City
7. Indianapolis
8. Atlanta
9. New Orleans
10. New England
Not 10
32. Carolina- headed for a date with the #1 pick
31. San Francisco- not as bad as their record, BUT overrated coming into the season
30. Buffalo
29. Cleveland
28. Jacksonville
27. NY Giants
26. Detroit
25. Oakland
24. Arizona
23. St. Louis

It doesn't mean it will be the best game, it's most likely because of the obvious McNabb storyline.This week, all I'm hearing about is the GREAT Washington vs Philly game this weekend with McNabb playing the Eagles.
Is this REALLY THE Spotlight game of the week ?
Is this game really going to be a Good/great game ?
The McNabb issue is going to happen twice a year regardless ... Like that other guy in Minny.
However, isn't the Steeler's and Raven's really the BEST game of the week ?
If your into hard hitting football, THIS is where to be.
Since their disastrous showing week 1, the Jets offense has improved big time.
