Glad the Bears took-down the Chargers so we don't have to worry too much about them down the stretch! Should be a good game next week.

Go Raiders!!!

looks like we might have lost our qb:

I just heard - man, too bad for Cutler and the Bears, Gene. But on the other hand, gives the Raiders a better chance!

Gene

the rest of our schedule somewhat gives a chance still...

caleb haine isn't bad, just doesn't have the arm cuttie does...hopefully our defense, special teams, and running game can step up....haine showed some good throws in last year nfc championship game, and almost got us to the big show, and he only had 15 minutes to work with.....let's see what he can do in 4 quarters...

WOW Gene, how bad is Cutler's thumb? Big Ben has a fractured thumb on his throwing hand and is expected to miss no time.

Gene

press conference is today at one...depending on the location of the fracture and type of fracture it really depends. Sounds like cuttie needs surgery where as Ben did not....we shall see

Good, tough win today. That Bears defense is stingy as hell, but the Raiders pulled it out. Go Raiders!

Gene

raiders were the better team today...

caleb showed his inexperience in the first 1/2, that last pick at the eend of the first half was costly and was the game changer IMO, Six point swing in less than 1 minute. Why Martz called a screen to the blind side rather than pound the ball in with barber is beyond me. Forte always struggles against tough physical d lines as he still cannot crash the line and get positive yards. Whereas Barber was able to do that time and time again. Glad the Pack beat the Lions earlier in the week, we have KC at home, next week. Seeing how KC's defense played against the steelers tonight doesn't make me hopeful for that game. I'm hoping caleb studies the tape and continues to learn as he showed in the second 1/2 of the game. Bears defense needs to continue there great performance.

Still in the wild card hunt....BEAR DOWN

You're right about that screen play, Gene - not sure what Martz was thinking on that one. The play took too long to develop and all Curry had to do was just 'stay home' on the tight end and make the play.

I think the Bears get wins against KC & Denver. What makes the Denver team good (at this current time) happens to be what the Bears are great at... stopping the run.
Tebow & the Broncos run game will face a tough Bears team needing to stay in the wildcard hunt.

The Steelers squeaked out another one against an inferior team, geez, what is wrong with the AFC North this year? Both the Steelers and the Ravens playing down to their opponents level every week. They seem to only play great against the really good teams.
