Everyone I talk to thinks the memory of recently deceased Ditka will spur these Bears to incredible new heights. Ditka's fat, bloated visage will stare up from Hell and spur their defense to something past mediocre. Will inspire Ben Johnson to be even more of a prick and cause their D line to hit Love more often after the whistle. Will heal Caleb WIlliams tender hammy which was shot out from under him in a gun battle with John Dillinger and Charles Martin.
People are fools. Ditka's Bears had MAYBE 2 glorious years (part of 1994, the unfortunately banging Super Bowl Shuffle song and video, and part of the Shuffle's follow up year) and these years were built upon the foundation of players acquired by Jim Finks and competently coaches and trained by Buddy Ryan.
Ditka's legacy, with his good buddy Jerry Vanisi (Finks replacement) should be Doug Flutie. That's what Packers fans should be thinking of when they hear Ditka mentioned on the broadcast: Flutie Flakes and myocardial infarction. Maybe you can mention Ricky Williams to delusional Bears fans in your orbit. If that doesn't work, mime Dan Mario's throwing motion to Mark Clayton to remind them of Ditka's shortcomings. It was 31-10 at halftime.
He was coaching the offense which worked fine when it was Walter Payton and healthy McMahon. After that, no one can remember except for the achingly too slow rise of Neal Anderson. You will remember Neal Anderson of course by the number of Super Bowl wins he got Ditka (0).
If you yourself are feeling Ditka nostalgic, remember this story from his restaurant where a victorious team stops into the restaurant and the man is there. He congratulates them and tells them he will take care of them. He comps the dessert. Which no one had ordered. That's Ditka, convincing you that you have his approval while he took a $20 out of your pocket.
This game should be close only of the Packers continue to sulk about losing to the Vikings. They are up to the task especially with Zeitler likely getting a start today. It will probably be a shootout but I trust Love and La Fleur to put together their first nearly complete game this year.
Packers 31 Bears 20
