Bears vs. Packers Reaction

The Bears lost. As I predicted, the Bears couldn't beat the Packers. This was a bad game to lose. First, we never want to lose to the Packers since they are our biggest rivals. Second, the Bears playoff hopes are over. They aren't going to make it to the Playoffs this year.
Ryan Grant helped lead the Packers to the win on the first play. As you can read, he scored on the first play. The Packers didn't play that well, but they played good enough to beat the Bears.
The Bears actually had the lead in the third quarter of this game. The problem was Jay Cutler's interception problem.The Bears defense was ok.
The main point of this game, and the season in general, is that the Bears are really bad and need to make a lot of changes.
Lovie Smith is a horrible coach. They need to get rid of him. Second, they need to replace most of the coaches and cooridinators. They aren't doing anything good right now. An example today was when it was like 3rd and 8. The Bears called a screen. That isn't a good play to calll in this situation; they should have called a deeper pass. They also need to get a much better offense and defense. They basically need to start all over from square one.

Bears vs. Packers Preview

This week the Bears take is on the Packers. This will be a very critical game. Right now, the Packers are the second Wild Card. The Bears are looking to make it to the Playoffs. The only way the Bears will make it will be beating the Packers. This is a big game for the Bears and Packers.
The Packers are coming off of a win. They are doing really good of late as you can see from this. They definatly have the momentum going in.
The Bears are coming off of a win also, but it was to the Rams so it isn't thiat big of a win.
The Bears keys for this week are to play all around and stop everybody. They have to stop Aaron Rodgers in the air and Ryan Grant on the ground.
The offense just has to score a lot.
Unfortunatly, I don't see these things happening. I think the Bears will lose.

Bears vs. Rams Reaction

Basically, I was right. The Bears beat the Rams 17-9. The only thing I wasn't right about was the Bear's score. I thought they would have more.
The Bears one responsibility this week was to stop Steven Jackson, and they did it. He didn't get into the endzone. Matter of fact, none of the Rams got in the endzone. They scored on three field goals.
The offense did pretty good too. They didn't score too much, but they scored enough to win. The best part is when you look at this stat sheet. Next to Jay Cutler's name, there is a zero under the interception column. Maybe, this will kick-start his drive to not throw any more interceptions.
The Bears didn't play that good of a team this week, but a win is a win. Hopefully this will give them some momentum for next week.

Bears vs. Rams Preview

This week the Bears are playing the St. Louis Rams. This is definately a good team to play to get back on the winning track. The Bears have lost the past four games. This is bad but, the Rams aren't any better. They have only won 1 game this year. The team they beat was the Detroit Lions. You may or may not know this, but the Lions are horrible. That game was just to see which team sucked less. Since these teams were pretty equal, the game wasn't bad. It was pretty close. Steven Jackson scored with about 2 minutes left to help the Rams win.
The key for the Bears this week is to stop Steven Jackson. He is the only good player on the Rams. The Bears should be able to do this and will win. One thing that I'm hoping is that Jay Cutler doesn't throw any interceptions. That would be nice.
The bottom line is the Bears should beat the Rams like they beat the Browns.

Bears vs. Vikings Reaction

Unfortunatly, I was right. The Vikings rolled over the Bears 36-10 as you can read from this. The game was painful to watch. It's always bad to lose to a division rival like the Vikings.
Brett Favre and his recieving corps picked apart the Bears' defense. Favre threw 3 TD passes and helped the Vikings offense pick up over 350 passing yards. Another thing that was bad was Adrian Peterson. It seemed like the Bears just couldn't take him to the ground. The Bears' defense really needs to get better because they don't have a chance of winning any games when the other team scores 35+ points.
The Bears' offense wasn't much better. Matt Forte had less than 30 yards. Jay Cutler threw two interceptions and one TD pass. Luckily, Cutler was only sacked four times. Two of those sacks were by Jared Allen. The offensive line did a good job of only allowing Jared Allen two sacks. I thought Allen would get more sacks than two.
This was a bad game, but let's hope that this loss spurs the Bears to do better and finish up with a respectable record.

Bears vs. Vikings Preview

This is going to be a bad game for the Bears. The Bears are coming off of a loss, while the Vikings are coming off a win. Last week, the Vikings beat up on the Seahawks. Here is a recap of that game.
Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson are going to lead the Vikings offense. The Bears' defense probably won't stop them.
The Bears' offense probably won't do any thing either. The only chance the Bears might win is if Jay Cutler has a record day and doesn't throw any interceptions. The offensive line has to keep Jared Allen off of Cutler. Finally, Matt Forte needs to play good. I don't see this happening though.
Bottom line is the Vikings should roll over the Bears easily.

The Bears' Updated Playoff Chances

Basically, their chances are the same as before. They have to win the Wild Card if they want to go to the playoffs. They have to do better than to of these three teams: Philidephia Eagles, New York Giants, or Green Bay Packers.
The Packers beat the Cowboys last week. The other two teams lost to the Chargers. The Eagles lost last week, and the Giants lost to them the week before. The Chargers won on a great drive at the end of the game by Phillip Rivers. It was a great game, so here is the recap.
This week the Packers, Eagles, and Giants play the 49ers, Bears, and Falcons, respectively. Hopefully, the Bears can help themselves out this week. Although it may seem like the Bears are done, the Bears still do have a chance to go to the playoffs. This will be a critical week for them.

Bears vs. Eagles Preview

This week play the Philidelphia Eagles. The Bears are coming off a loss to the 49ers. The Eagles are also coming off a loss. They lost to the San Diego Chargers.
The Eagles are going into this game with the mindset that this is a must win game as you can read from this article. They want to get back into the win column and stay in contention for the NFC East championship. They are going to come out ready to play.
The Bears also need to win this game. This will be the game that will most likely show what they are going to do this year. If they win, they still have a possibility of winning the Wild Card. They need to be ready to play.
Some key people in this game will be Jay Cutler, LeSean McCoy, Matt Forte, and the Bears' defense.
Jay Cutler is going to have to play like we expect him to play. He has to not force the ball which will result in less interceptions. Matt Forte also has to play like we expect him to. He needs to start doing good like last year.
The Bears' defense needs to play like they did against the 49ers. This year though, the Bears' defense has been a roller coaster ride. Hopefully, they can keep it at the top for this game.The Bears need to stop LeSean McCoy and make the Eagles wish Brain Westbrook wasn't injured.
My prediction is that the Eagles will win. The Bears have been a little unpredictable this year, so it is hard to say weather they will do good or bad. If they play very good though, then they might win.

Bears vs. 49ers Reaction

What is Jay Cutler doing out there? He is doing bad  this season. He threw 5 interceptions this week, with two of them being in the redzone. This article tells more about his interception problems. He is trying to force things to happen, when he should just throw the ball away if he is in trouble. We thought he would be doing much better when we traded for him.
The Bears lost this week 10-6. We were lucky that we only lost by 4 points, with Jay Cutler doing so bad.
The defense was pretty good this week. They only allowed 10 points. The offense should have scored more and helped the defense out.
Overall, the game was bad. We couldn't do anything on offense. Let's hope that the Bears have a much better game next week against the Eagles.

Bears vs. Cardinals Reaction

This game was very very bad on the Bears part. The Bears lost by a final of 41-21. It reminded me of the Bears vs. Bengals game. In my preview for this game, I said that if a defense stopped the other team's offense then that team would win. I was right. The Cardinals defense stopped the Bear's offense. The only thing I was wrong about, was that the Bear's offense would be good.
The reason thay lost was a combination of the Bear's offense sucking and the Cardinal's defense stepping up. I knew, when they got Jay Cutler, that one person wouldn't make the Bears a great team. It is a good start, but they needed to use their draft picks next year and get some really good players. The only bright spot in the Bear's offense was Greg Olsen. He had all three touchdown receptions for the Bears.
The Bears defense is definately not what they used to be. I predicted that Kurt Warner would pass all over them, and he did. The Bears defense has not improved since 2006 when they went to the Super Bowl. Even that season, they were only good for half of the year. They need to start making trades and getting better people on the defense. Basically, I have almost given up hope on the Bears this year. The Bears really need to improve if they want to win this year.
If you didn't see the game, then check out this.

Bears vs. Cardinals Preview

Going into this matchup, the Bears have the momentum. They just came off a good win against the Browns. I know this wasn't that hard of a win, but a win is a win. The Cardinals just came off a bad loss to the Panthers. I wasn't so sure what the Bears had to do until I read this. The Panthers ran all over the Cardinals' defense by a rushing style close to the Bears' rushing style. If the Bears can do what the Panthers did, then we will be in very good shape.
The Bears are probably not going to do much to stop Kurt Warner and his recieving corps. This game will mostly be an offensive game. If a team's defense steps up and makes some stops, then that team will win. But, I don't think that either defense will step up.
It may come down to special teams. If it does, then the Bears will most likely win. The Bears have better special teams than the Cardinals. The score off this game will probably be high, but it will still be close. I think the Bears will etch out a victory by 7 or less points. Both teams are 4-3 going into this matchup, but only one can walk out as the victors.

The Bear's Playoff Chances

If the Bears want to make it to the playoffs, there is a couple of things that must happen. It doesn't look like the Bears could win the Division because right now, the Vikings are doing really good. Last week they held off the Packers to improve to 7-1. Right now the Bears are 4-3. The Bears would have to win and the Vikings would have to lose. It is possible but not probable.
The other option would be to win the Wild Card. As of now The Dallas Cowboys are the first Wild Card and the New York Giants are the next Wild Card. The Dallas Cowboys are 5-2, so we could possibly take the Wild Card from them.
The New York Giants are 5-3, so they would be the easier target.  Last week the Eagles helped us out. They beat the Giants. I didn't watch the game, but I did look at a recap of the game. So to get in the playoffs, we just need to win more games than the Giants. We know what we have to do. The only question now is: Can we do it?

Bears vs. Browns Reaction

This is just what the doctor ordered for the Bears, a good win. The Bears beat up on the Browns on Sunday. The outcome of the game was just what I expected. I predicted that the Bears would easily roll over the Browns.
The Browns are just plain bad right now. They are one of , if not the worst team in the league. On my last post, I said that Matt Forte had to step up. He apparently heard my post because he did step up on Sunday. He had good numbers and ran for two touchdowns. Jay Cutler definitely did better. He had one interception, but had good overall numbers.
Probably, the best part of the game was the Bears defense. As you can see by reading this article, the defense did pretty good. They forced a lot of turnovers and held the Browns offense to 6 points. It isn't that difficult to hold the Browns to 6 points, but they played a lot better then last Sunday. I am very content with the Bears this week.

Bears vs. Bengals Reaction

Ok. Let's just say that that game was embarrasing. The Bengals did whatever they wanted to. Cedric Benson ran all over them. He had a record day. Read this for more about Benson. The Bears didn't think he would be this good. It's kind of a typical Bear thing; the player is horrible on the Bears, then is great after he is traded.
Second, somebody should have hit Chad Ochocinco. He should not have had 2 touchdowns. The supposed Monsters of the Midway made Carson Palmer look like a hybrid of Payton Manning and Tom Brady. He is good but not that good.
Also, the Bears made the Bengals defense look spectacular. In all realitity, the Bengals defense isn't a high point in their team. It was just that the Bear's offensive linemen were sucking. They didn't pass-block very good. The d-line would rush Jay Cutler, and he would throw interceptions. To make things worse, the Bear's recievers weren't getting open. They are better than that.
Finally, Matt Forte should have stepped up as a leader. He was great last year. This year he is looking like Devin Hester, a one-year-wonder.
