[CBFF] " This organization deserves condemnation today"

[Jerry Madsen]

Considering this offense hung 34 points on the Bears in a single
quarter four weeks ago and they limited them to 16 for an entire game
(3 in the 2nd half), I'd have to agree.  I think the performance of
the defense should also be lauded for having to get back out on the
field four times following Griese's INTs.
