The fallacies are:
- Orton needs to win games for the Bears
- The Bears need to win 8 more games
The most important factor is that the Bears have to keep pace with the Lions and Packers. Oh yeah, and the love boat Vikes. I just don't see that being a tough task, despite games against CAR, PIT, and TB (as well as BAL and ATL, tough games to win). The Bears have been beaten badly once thus far, and one has to hope that Orton will only improve... though you can't be TOO hopeful!

Lovie was quoted this week saying they wanted to "air it out" a bit more. While 2 yd and 3 yd passes are not exactly "airing it out" they did show another dimension at the goal line rather than pounding Jones in there...although I certainly would have liked Jones to get those two TDs.

There's absolutely NO DOUBT that Orton looked better in this game. Much better. He still annoyed the CRAP out of me when he fumbled on one play, can't avoid sacks, etc. like most other QBs, but at least he's not throwing a Culpepper-style INT instead...Lovie was quoted this week saying they wanted to "air it out" a bit more.

Question to Bears fans - would you rather be just good enough to win a bad division and lose in the 1st round of the playoffs or just be plain terrible and get a higher draft pick?Jets fan here, debating on the latter.

Are you serious? I would actually argue that - unless you have a completely obvious high pick - it's BETTER to have a lower draft pick in terms of value vs. impact on your salary cap. There was a study done that was very interesting, indicating that the 39th pick in the NFL draft is THE most valuable pick due to what the contract value will be. So, in many ways, having that top 10 pick can bite you in the #### when you then guarantee a guy that is unproven to a $30+ million contract.
On top of that, winning - and losing - are both contagious.

Gimme the division baby. We've already proven we don't know what to do with a high draft choice.Cedric Benson
