[QUOTE="Hauschild, post: 263494, member: 1638"] The Bears played out of their minds in the first half and I think Minnesota only had 4 first downs and 50 yards passing. The difference, I believe, in this game compared with Arizona and Carolina is that Minnesota's adjustments worked. The pass protection improved ten-fold in the second half which led to Brett picking apart the defense, which then opened up the running game a little bit. Sometimes they say rankings don't tell the entire story because a high ranked passing defense could be the result of a poor run defense, which I think is the story with Chicago. But, their run defense was outstanding in the first half. This is why you need to watch the games in their entirety and pay attention to details. After two quarters last nite, I'm sure everybody that bought into the sucks-in-December hype talked at their TV's and said, "Yup - just like clockwork." However, what can then be said about the way Favre's numbers improved dramatically in the second half? Did his mind and body suddenly go back in time two months to October and he "psyched" himself into playing October football, or maybe - just maybe - did his coaching staff make successful adjustments and his offensive teammates improved their play? Which is more accurate and makes the most sense? Ya feelin' me? This is why it is so blatantly obvious to me that while Brett's numbers decrease in the latter months, it has more to do with his opponents' play than the cold or the month he's playing in. [/QUOTE]
