Waddle's World

Listen, I understand today's win was huge as it brings our Bears back to 4 and 5, a game under .500 and within reach of respectablitiy, but, to steal a phrase from Lou Pinella, lets not get all "Giggly". Yes, a win, is a win, is a win, but they had 2 weeks to prepare for a completely inept Raiders team and it took 57 minutes to get on track. The defense was better, and it was nice to see a Grossman to Berrian reunion, but Im not convinced they are "new and improved". Cedric Benson averaged just 2.6 yards per carry against the leagues worst run defense (Raiders were allowing 5.1 yds per carry). And, for the first time, Devin Hester was held in check without the opposing team kicking away from him. I hate to be a "Doubting Thomas", but my name is Tom, and the first half of the season left me with a ton of doubts surrounding my favorite team. Forgive my skepticism, but Im gonna reserve my elation till after the Seahawks game. A win in Seattle would make me feel a whole lot better about where this team is possibly headed!
