are the bears for real?

[miguelcabrera]

they are proving they are on the biggest stage with all of america watching tonight. usually i am critical of the bears in years past (06 team was worst team in history to make the super bowl) but I like this version of the bears with more firepower on offense than ever before (even though they have only put up 13 tonight). what I am trying to say is they seem to have the most balanced team than they had in the past 10 years and they are better than the patriots. tough division too. 2 wil cards coming out? although minny might fade..... just saying

Bad News Bears?

I don't recall the Patriots being in any of those movies though.

They have beaten the Colts, Jags, Rams, Lions and Cowboys. Im going to wait until I call them contenders!

 

[cubfanbudman]

They are playing good football. The offense is playing more consistent than it ever has and the defense is on another level. As long as the main pieces can stay healthy we should be 7-1 heading into the touch part of our schedule

and those Colts, Rams and Cowboys can play and win on any given Sunday. Not like they have been beating up on bad teams all year

They are a good team as long as the ticking time bomb Cutler acts like a team player.

A lot of people blame Cutler and fair or not he is the QB but the line has to block and give him a little bit of time. The problem last year was Martz is an idiot. This year Jay is doing a lot better. Lets just see if he can stay consistent

Jay Cutler gets hammered from he fans but that dude is tough as nails and has heart. He might not appear to care but he gets hit almost every drop back and still isn't fun shy and steps into his throws. If every player in the huddle matched him it'd be good night nurse!but that's not going to happen so If the line could buy him some more time and the tight ends could catch a ball they might could do something.

In the Next 4 games if they can go 3-1 then I would say yes. But we will see after these games

Sunday Oct28th Carolina Panthers @ Chicago Bears
Sunday Nov.04th Chicago Bears@Tennesee Titans
Sunday Nov.11th Houston Texans @ Chicago Bears
Monday Nov.19th Chicago Bears @ San Francisco 49'ers

You can't tell anything from beating the Lions. They self-destruct more than any team in the NFL. They had so many chances to put points on the board only to turn it over again and again. Neither of the rushing fumbles should have happened. They were just poor protection of the ball.

It was because they played the best defense in the league and one that prides itself on takeaways. May have been poor ball security but give credit where it's due

I don't think Calvin Johnson dropping wide open passes has anything to do with the Bears defense.

I don't either that's why I didn't say that.

 

[cubfanbudman]

I mean they have 21 takeaways in 6 games. It's not an accident is all I'm saying

 

[SouthSideSluggers]

the Bears are 10-1 in their last 11 games dating back to last year in which Jay Cutler has started for them...

Yes, but they can easily be 10-6 at the end of this season. :lol:

 

[Crewfan82]

Their def is great, but the offense is pretty bad. When the def isnt scoring multiple tds they struggle to score. That won't result in wins against top tier teams. Have to give them credit for beating the teams they are supposed to beat.

 

[shayscards79]

I'm not buying them. It's funny listening to the radio personalities crowning them (yes Denny Green) before the season starts.. then they win a couple of games and it's a given they're going to win the SB. Problem is, people here aren't objective about them and severely let down when they fail.

I'm sure this happens in every city, even Indianapolis, but it just sucks because I have to hear it here every day and I've never liked the team.

 

[Card Magnet]

I don't believe in them as long as Jay Cutler is their QB. Even if they won the Super Bowl, I would still think of something negative to say just because I don't like him.
