Back from Chicago and relieved to be 9-0. What a sloppy first half that was.  The Bears had 9 men in the box on several occasions.  We had guys running open all over the field all day long.  Collins had plenty of time to throw and plenty of options to throw to.  There were several times I though he would dump it off to an open Bongo underneath, but would then throw it to an even more open receiver down the field. The 2nd half was better, but I wish we would of put them away.  We have got to quit throwing behind the line of scrimmage on 3rd and short!

Soldier Field is a neat place to see a game.  It was cold and windy and there were flurries throughout the game. Bears fans are very knowledgeable and they will turn on their own in a heartbeat.  Grossman was not good for most of the day, but he was getting booed on every incomplete pass.  Bears fans aren't the nicest in the world.  I wasn't sure how I would be greeted so the only Titans clothing I had visible was my stocking camp.  Neverthless I was referred to as a part of the female anatomy many times. The peoople around me were cool though and by the end of the game they were asking lots of questions about the Titans.  One Titans fan walked up holding a sign that said 9-0 and was talking trash.  He was literally having stuff thrown at him.  He was about 15 rows above me, he was escorted out by security in the 3rd quarter.

Listening to the radio on the way there and back was entertaining.  The sports talk people were ripping on Collins before the game saying he can't throw for 200 yards.  I kept telling my brother it's not that he can't, it's just that he hasn't had to.  The way home was nothing but praise for Collins and an all out ripping of the Bears seconary.  They didn't seem to get that when you load up the box, guys are going to be open.  It happened time and time again.

Warm ups were disappointing.  I like getting there early and watching everything.  VY looked horrible with his passes.  He was overthrowing guys on almost every pass.  Now I know that it is pregame warmup and it has to be tough when you know you aren't starting, but his passes were not good.  He threw behind Hawk on an out route and threw the ball 5 yards of bounds on a sideline route to Crumpler.  He did hit Gage on a deep ball, but Gage (who actually caught it), had to slow down.  I was just hoping he would of looked sharper than that. 

Anyway, it was a good time, I'm glad to see a win and now the Titans have to focus on Jacksonville.  I know this is more of a baseball thing, but our "magic number" for the division is 4 and for the AFC it is 5!

Go Titans!
