Bears Score TD in OT, win 36-30

PrintThe entire announcing crew and ESPN and the majority of the sports coverage world can ball up all that Favre is legend stuff they were so eager to put out and shove it. ESPN was so prepared to roll out their tongue wagging coverage to fall all over Favre, when the Bears won the best they could come with was Da Bears. Good job guys!
On this day, our gunslinger out slung theirs. The Vikings made a game out of it, but today we rotated the spheroid better (yes that is now an official WCG term). New Orleans, Philly, Arizona and whoever we just helped out, your welcome.
Let us review what I said the Bears would need to win this game.
offensive line.....check
run game....check (not great but did its job early when we needed it)
secondary....1/2 a check
pass rush....check+
stop turning the ball over.....check (only 1 TO)
The Bears pass rush came up huge, especially on the Vikings OT drive (hmmm....seems the legend should have been flagged for spiking the ball into the ground after that last sack..
Cutler had a huge night to help get close to .500 on his TD/INT ratio. He ended with 273 yards and 4 TDs.
Devin Aromashadu had 150 of those yards on 7 catches and the game-winning TD.
Greg Olsen, Desmond Clark and Earl Bennett caught the other TDs.
Hunter Hillenmeyer has had an up and down season. He has been benched a few times, but other times including today he was a stud. He racked up 15 tackles and the fumble that led to the Bears win.

Awesome game!
i don’t get there being no girls in bikinis at the game either….
the players played like they were going to be cut if they didnt play well.
Aromatherapy was a stud tonight. the fact he sat most of this year is disgusting… But not bad enough that i can’t enjoy this win over the evil farve!! BEAR DOWN!!!
This makes up for the entire Season to me.
Everyone was mocking Cutler before the game, but look at what he did tonight! He showed why the Bears wanted him, and what he can do when you actually give him time to throw. Orton would have never made that pass to DA, who also showed why he should be the starter.
This also helps me out in my pick em league since I decided to pick the Bears for an upset considering that Favre sucks in Winter games.
Congratulations Jay, and everyone else on the team for stepping up when it mattered. And taking down the Vikings/Favre.

Congrats
Your Bears played with real heart and took the viking by the horns, I was impressed with how your back-up players stepped up and the loss of Charles and Knox were not game breakers.
SO GREAT TO SEE A TEAM WIN!!!!!!!
Chris Williams- Phenominal Job on Jared Allen all night long especially on the one on ones.
Jay Cutler- Another comeback win by our Qb. Came back after a terrible to lead us down for a td!
Devin Aramashodu- wow! my friend you are a playmaker.
Earl Bennett- solid all year long
Danieal Manning- Best Returner, i know he didnt score a td but he took about 4 returns to midfield or vikings territory
Tommie Harris-…….Hes baaaaaack. Great Push all night
Stelz and Bullocks- solid didnt give any big plays other than the berrian one
Hunter Hillenmeyer- Three Fumbles force on Peterson This year
Wow what a way to end 2009!!!!!
BEAR DOWN!!!!
I love it how...
all the ESPN analysts other than Ditka chose the Vikings to win. And when ESPN showed the map of what states were picking who was gonna win tonight, all the states including Illinois were for the Vikings except for Louisiana. Go Bears!…but we still need to fire Lovie and Turner.
too late my friend

As an Eagles fan
I would like to thank Jay Cutler and the Chicago Bears. They did a hell of a job to give us a shot at the #2 seed.
Also, if Cutler works on his consistency and his decision-making skills, you guys have yourself a top5 quarterback. The boy’s got a hell of an arm.
Second That Thank You

Best game I've seen in a while
There’s definitely a receiver on the current roster that our Bears can build around. He may still be young and have a lot to learn, but Aromashadu gives me hope for next year. Can you imagine what this team can do offensively with Cutler throwing to Olsen and DA? As long as the O-Line can give him time that is. Beautiful game tonight.
I know!
Please do not forget having the speed of knox and hester along in that mix as well as forte out of the backfield.
Chris Williams man o man. He played great and if cutler gets this type of time……..

DA DA DA
He was a BEAST against the Viqueens!!! I really wanted him to start since week one, but no way are management was gonna put him ahead of KR. Hester is better fitted as a slot WR and Knox stays where he is at. DA could become a Numba 1.( He is only 25). Bennett could rotate with anyone since he learned all the positions his rookie season lol. The O-Line wasn’t amazing but it has shown improvement and Dum Turner finally let Cutler throw outside of the pocket. The Vandy Connection was working hard tonight. Bennett TD, Cutler 4TD, C. Williams shutdown Allen, Hillenmeyer game winning FF.
Why didn't the Bears play like this all season?
yeah. If this game shows anything, it shows that Lovie, Ron, and the coaching staff
1) has not coached up these players to play tough from the start of the season when it counts
2) has not put the best players on the field from the start of the season… when it counts
3)has played too conservative instead of being creative in playcalling from the start of the season… when it counts
I was defending Lovie up unto this point. But now, I think it’s time to find a coach who will get this team to play all out in the beginning of the of the year. WHEN IT COUNTS!

I fell off the
Lovie band wagon last weekend but the fact that the vikes scored 30 points in the second half alone has convinced me more than ever now that he (jerry and ron turner) needs to go IMO….But I think this win might have saved his job….guess we will see…..

Ifuwanna sighting!! Sup bro
This game made me wonder where the hell this team has been all year. I mean the defensive and offensive lines were playing possessed. The Oline….what the hell? It was completely different tonight, and Cdub played stellar, the whole line played stellar, didn’t they only have one false start all game?
Man, talk about a wild game..brought back some good Bears memories for a change.

The most obvious things I saw
1) How much better the line looks without Pace – and with Williams anchoring left tackle (I thought Williams played J. Allen about as well as you can play him).
2) Cutler isn’t so high on DA because he’s got a man-crush on him. The guy can flat-out make plays. And he showed that to a national audience.
3) I’m not sure what got our front 4 fired up, but they sure looked good rusing Favre. And we were able to contain AP.
"Yes, risk taking is inherently failure-prone. Otherwise, it would be called sure-thing-taking." - Jim McMahon
DA is the big, strong reciever we've been missing
We’ve got burners in Knox/Hester but they can’t go up and fight for a ball. I hope DA is that guy.
Hester's gotten better this year
at going up and bringing down the ball. It’s all about progression.

Agreed
Hester was on track for 1000 receiving yards before he got hurt. Bottom line, when Cutler’s getting consistent protection and the plays are designed to his strengths as a QB, ALL or our receivers look better – DA and Hester included.

Best win we've had in a while.
Aramashodu was amazing. I was one of about 1% of the population that started him on my fantasy team. Man it payed off.
Harris has steadily improved since the Cardinals game.
Even Cutler proved me wrong! I was hoping we would bench him. This wasn’t his best performance of the year, but he definately helped us this time.
But perhaps the most impressive performance was the O-Line, specifically Chris Williams, who limited Jared Allen to zero(0) sacks. He looks like he’ll be a stud.
DA
Won me my league championship. Everybody in the league was laughing at me for playing a guy they never heard of… I played him instead of T. Owens :)
Nice.
I also have Brandon Marshall. I really wish he would have had his 21 catch game this week.
by GouldisGold on Dec 29, 2009 12:09 AM CST up reply actions
Ha...
I had Earl Bennett and Austin Collie starting along w/ Steven Jackson( who didn’t play btw) and Jerome Harrison on the bench. Partied all weekend and didn’t set my lineup at all. Just won the ’ship. BEAR DOWN!!!
"The phone's for you, I think it's the Devil."
Couple of observations...
DA! DA! DA! All night long he had big catches. Bailed Cutler out on a lot of errant throws. Quality receiver.
When the Oline blocks, Cutler can deliver. Period. A shadow of a running game early on provided enough to make the playaction work occasionally.
WTF is with the DLine? Where was the fire the rest of the season? Tommie had some burst, Adams and Harrison were getting pressure up the middle, and Mark Anderson looked good. Can anyone explain this?!!
That turf on the field is atrocious! If it were decent, Manning would’ve had a touchdown or two returning, and Knox doesn’t get injured after he slipped.
Why is Corey Graham playing the go-to receiver at the goal line on Zack Bowman’s side at the end of regulation?
Chris Williams was amazing. Great performance against one of the league’s best. And good job on Turner for FINALLY giving the blind side some help with chip blocks all night.
What if win saved Lovie’s job? Was it worth it?
About the saving Lovie's job thing
It just feels good to beat the Queens and Mr. Invincible. I don’t think this one game will save Ron Turner..but i thought Lovie was safe as it was anyways..i just don’t see Virginia eating his contract.

An awful season of historical proportions, and one win has us happy. Oh well, tomorrow I’ll be unhappy again, but tonight I CELEBRATE!
Well
I am more happy about ESPN “NFL experts” getting faced….Every time they mentioned this game they would laugh and say the Bears had not shot…NO shot…..Not to mention denver fans freaking the freak out about getting a top 10 pick….
Still I hope that this win does not cloud judgment on the decisions that have to be made at the end of the season….

Tonights' Bears
played like the team I envisioned before the season started.
I still can’t figure out why the defensive scheme can’t cover a back out of the backfield on 3rd and long. Even so, great game.
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain
Part of it is lack of athleticism at the MLB spot.
Hillenmeyer has played great as a replacement at MLB, but he just isn’t athletic enough to cover the space required like Brian does. I love his intangibles though.
easy on the great..
he may lead the league in making tackles more than 5 yards down field..although he played a fine game tonight..

Sorry But,
no amount of athleticism is going to make up for how wide open these back are – I believe its Lovie’s poor scheme.

Chris Willaims was a beast tonight

" Former Original WCG Power Poster!"
C Williams
Man, did he ever do a job against Allen. I have seen Allen HUMILIATE all pros… and CW held him to no sacks and two tackles… and no big penalties either!
Folks, we have ourselves a genuine left tackle.
He's not like most left tackles, though.
He isn’t as strong as most linemen, but he makes up for it with his good footwork and finesse moves. He really reminds me of Ryan Clady.
by GouldisGold on Dec 29, 2009 12:11 AM CST up reply actions
To be fair
Most left tackles get their asses handed to them by J. Allen. I will take that.
Allen has always dominated Pace.
I’m not saying Williams will be better than Pace, but it’s a damn good sign.

Agree
Plus, the hardest spot on the line to fill is LT. That makes putting together a good line a LOT more doable.
I think you should hold off on judgement until we have more games to watch him...
one good game doesn’t define a player, just like one good season doesn’t define a coach. I want to see Chris williams play this well over a longer period of time. I hope he does, but let’s not crown these guys for one game.

That's why he should have been at LT the whole time.
Putting him on the right side made no sense.

TOO LITTLE TOO LATE
Good job, Chris Williams. Good job Cutler. Good job Hillenmeyer. Good job, Aromashodu (the fact that you just started playing a couple of weeks ago is the best argument for the mass firings). Nice to see the team play with passion, but the coaching staff (maybe with a few exceptions), Angelo and Phillips still need to go.
Those exceptions...
MUST include the special teams coach and D Line coach.
Sweet game!!!
God I hate Brett Favre. SO glad to see him lose. Chris Williams looked amazing in one-on-one’s against Allen. I was a doubter but DA looked awesome TONIGHT! Hopefully he can carry that into next week’s game and next season. As much flak as Tommie Harris has gotten this year and year’s past, he was a total beast tonight. And last, but not least, Mr. Cutler himself. Anybody that thinks the trade was worthless, dumb, idiotic, or too pricey was silenced tonight. Kyle Orton starts the game tonight, we lose in the first half. Build around Cuttie and get him some offensive minds around him and we’ve got ourselves a future MVP. O yeah, Patrick Mannelly made an amazing tackle on Special Teams, saved tons of yards and possibly another depressing loss. Back to boozing.
"The phone's for you, I think it's the Devil."
By the way..
We beat the Friggin Vikings!!!! The most hated team on the planet…
" Former Original WCG Power Poster!"
Did anyone see Lovie's press conference after the game?
He made a special point of singling out Olin Kreutz’ great leadership. That had to be a direct slap in the face to Jerry Angelo based on the reports of a “loud, closed door meeting” between Olin and JA last week. The speculation after that meeting by David Haugh of the Tribune, is that Kreutz will be gone after this year.
Aromashodu
is windy city jesus. DA showed he can play and should be our #1 receiver for next year.
funny how we can go from having crappy receivers last year to having too many capable receivers this year. amazing what a QB can do to your receiving core.
also, chris williams is for real. the kid did a phenomenal job against jared allen tonight.
so, should we lose to the Lions next week just to make sure teh personnel adjustments take place?
just kiddin, i hate to lose.
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
No
And I am not just kidding.
No need to give Denver any better draft picks than they are getting anyway.
oh, good point
I can’t explain how tonite’s game makes me so happy. Part of it is that the vector is pointing in the right direction. Part is that I live in Minneapolis, and this is really really sweet.
Wearin’ mah Bears jersey to work tomorrow. Oh Yeah!!
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
When Knox went down
That was a cheap shot by the Viking player.
He wasn’t trying to get up and run. Bullcrap play. If that’s not an unnecessary hit I don’t know what is.
Having said that, Knox has to protect himself better, and know that he wasn’t touched, and either get up, or protect himself better.
ESPN guys
Said NOTHING about it too. ESPN are full of buttkissers and idiots. I guarantee they won’t talk about how well the bears played.
Nope...
Went straight on after the game to talking about Favre and Childress and how SOMETHING is happening between them and not what they’re saying about it, but HOW they’re saying it. It’s bullshit, give the Bears some kind of credit.
"The phone's for you, I think it's the Devil."
Even when the Bears were good.
I never see ESPN give them credit. And also it seems that they want cutler and the bears to fail. But whatever we beaten their favorite QB (next to brady)

Lovin the vibes here
It’s true that ESPN are a bunch of jackasses but that’s not the point. The Bears saved face tonight against the so-called best team in the division. Turner finally cracked open the play-book, even if it was a little too late. But this win shows me a few things
1. Cutler is a beast when the guys protecting him protect him
2. The players went out there and played for respect NOT for the coaching staff.
3. Lovie is still a terrible coach. How do you explain failing to make adjustments and almost blowing the game. That alone should get him fired. Also DA having the best game of the year by a Bears receiver. He’s been on the bench almost all season. Failure!
4. This win alone has probably saved Angelo and Lovie’s job. But I can see Lovie being stripped of playcalling duties. Turner and Hamilton are still gone after the season.
5. Maybe without too much work, Lovie can be an adequate coach next season although he should still be fired. Here’s hoping the win shows Angelo what we need to be a great team: Receivers and an OL

It’s like taking a lotto ticket instead of a half million bucks. Sure, you might hit it big, but you’ll probably just look like an ass and waste a pick.
With a few exceptions, I think they need to clean house.

Not to mention
Henry Melton (graded as a late 5th-6th rounder by most “Draft experts” took him top of 4th)
Dan Bazuin (graded out 3rd 4th rounder took him in the second)
Garrett Wolfe (graded as a 5th 6th rounder took him in the 3rd)
Mark Bradley (considered a project but took him in the 2nd)
Leon Joe (considered a 7th UDFA but took him in the 5th round due to a great combine work out)
Roosevelt Williams (considered a 4th rounder took him in the 2nd)

To everybody putting lovie on there shoulders
I know the sacks were great and the OT fumble awesome but giving up 30pts is not a good defensive performance.
Yeah considering
all the starters that were playing last night(insert sarcasm detection).Granted Lovie has something to do with the Bear’s woes this season,but when it’s obvious the team as a whole pulled together last night.It’s still in spite of Lovie.
When next year we have a healthy team and some personel changes,I’m gonna laugh at the majority of the “instant gratification” fans that are calling for Lovie’s head.
Oh and by the way,the Vikings have averaged 30 ppg in their wins this year.So the Bear’s winning is still in spite of Lovie. I donthinkso.
You're being very Un-Dude right now.

agreed.
Lovie’s had some “moments” this year – lack of preparation, the infamous two time-out challenge, and Frank Omiyale – among others. But to say he gets ZERO credit for this win is a bit much. He had the team amp’d up tonight.

So when a team let's a def score 30 pts(in one half non the less)
that is a good defensive performance? That is the most ridicules thing i have ever heard! We had a few good moments but that was it. The fact that the guys playing weren’t our starters is pointless because half of them should’ve been given the chance earlier in the season. The only 2 missing that were important were Prince and Lach.
Not good
but missing 6 starters doesn’t help.

As awesome as this game
it just makes me more angry about what this season could have been.
the lack of willingness to play both devins, the length of time it took to figure out a REAL way to spell Forte (which they still haven’t really done), the inability to adjust (until it was too late) along the o-line… GAH!
Williams seemed to do a good job on Allen. That’s a good sign. DA seems like a solid piece going forward. Jay finally showed up in a night game.
But still… this could’ve been the whole season. And that sucks.

This is why ESPN are a bunch of douches
“There are a ton of fans here to watch a team that isn’t very good.” — ESPN broadcaster Mike Tirico talking about the Bears at the start of Monday’s game. Yeah a team that has blown almost all year just beat everybody’s favorite geriatric. And also Tirico has no concept of loyalty I guess. For as much as we complain as fans, we still love our Bears and always will. ESPN can suck our nads Bears fans

ESPN is with a bunch of losers.
And the biggest douche of all is Trent freakin Dilfer. Say Cutler wasn’t that good at Denver or at all. Like he was a good QB he wishes that he could have as much talent . With that SB with the Ravens he was just along for the ride. Screw Dilfer
DUDE...
He made the freaking Pro Bowl in ’97. Trent Dilfer is a god. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, rocks a bald head and bear-claw goatee better.
"The phone's for you, I think it's the Devil."
Dilfer is like the moronic version
Of Stephen A. Smith
Both of them talk out of their ass. The only guys I like on ESPN is. Skip Bayless (he is annoying) but he is not a bias idiot who would kiss a players butt like Jon Gruden (lost some respect for him) and Ditka for obvious reasons. Chris Berman is ok i guess.
Skip Bayless
Is very annoying but I too like him. I also like Rachel Nichols and Erin Andrews, but for reasons other than sports-broadcasting. Woody Paige is the sh*t too. I’d hang out w/ him in a heartbeat.

Good FREAKING game, Boys...Dallas CowBoyz fan here...
Just got thru watching the game and wanted to say thanks for the help that you gave the NFC-East by your win tonite…I do not want to make you guys any less excited by your win(“You play the game to win” beavis)but you now just hurt yourselves by winning because if the Cowboys beat the Igglz, and the Giants beat the Vikes next Sunday, we wont have to play each other again 2 weeks in a row to decide which one of us will be moving on in the PO, thus giving us a 2X shot in the NFC-East…If we win, and the Gnats beat the Vikes next week, we get to play the CheeseHeads IN DALLAS…The IGGLZ would then have to play New Orleans…Just putting your “WIN” in perspective~shrugs~…Take the news any way you want…and really, thanks from this Dallas CowBoy fan…FEAR THE STAR

How did this win hurt us?
We’re not in the playoffs and can’t hurt our draft status with no first or second rounder. If we hurt the Vikings and Packers in the playoffs then huzzah. Ya see that’s the whole point of having rivals.
Wouldn't a Cowboys fan know about rivals, with the Skins and Eagles and all?
(shrug) Meh. Guess not.
No draft pick to make better (and a chance to worsen Denver’s pick)? Check.
Minny can’t get the #1 seed? Check.
We have no playoff shot to lose? Double check.
So… How’d we hurt ourselves?
I’d say something mean about the Cowboys, but really… I don’t stoop to that. You aren’t the Pack or the Vikes.
Just sucks we can’t make the Fav-Ray get outdoors for the playoffs. The Fav-Ray experiences horrible power outages and malfunctions in the cold, apparently.

I thought it was funny
When Matt Forte got blown up on the TD pass to Earl Bennett. I mean, he needs to beef up a bit lol, but i love how he put his body on the line and gave Jay that extra milisecond to get the pass off.
What i saw today was just some inspired Offensive line play, its was a marvel to watch against a top notch defensive line. Sure one of the Williams Wall was out, but still awesome job.

Monday Night Football Coverage
Was so horrible that I couldn’t stand to have the volume on when the Vikings had the ball. Favre legendary? Give me a break. How can a guy be a legend with 1 ring and have the record for NFL INTs? Maybe with less interceptions, maybe more rings.
Childress is now understanding why so many coaches have crashed and burn trying to coach Favre. The offense was taught to him by Holmgen and Childress, but Favre believes he should be calling the plays. I wonder if Favre player coach mentality is the reason he holds the record for the most NFL INTs? The Legend want not only be the greatest that ever played, but the best player coaches this league has ever seen. Favre is just as irrelevant as other 1 ring QBs. Manning will hold that legendary status by stats and how games were won better than Favre ever could. Brady has more hardware and Montana for me is the best QB that ever played in my life time.
For a former respectable coach like Gruden to slobber all over Favre, I wouldn’t want him as my head coach. Have some dignity Chucky. You do not see Tony Dungy on his knees after coaching football, toting the company line to boost ratings.
That's correct.
Also, whenever the Bears play on MNF, I stream Joniak off the Bears site and mute the TV.
Not to sound
like a Favre loving goober,but I don’t think it’s outrageous to dub him legendary.Granted he holds the interceptions record but he has every other quarterback record. I don’t know about you,but it’s certainly feels different watching a guy like Favre operating an offense opposed to the other 95% of the league’s quarterbacks.
You're being very Un-Dude right now.
by IslandBoodler87 on Dec 29, 2009 7:49 AM CST reply actions
Its not that
he hasn’t had a great career or that he is legendary. It’s the obsessive love and slobbering annouincers want to give him constantly. Favre throws 4 picks, oh well lets not talk about it, he is a legend!
I really hoped it would die down a little with Madden gone but every other announcer seems hell bent on taking over the Madden sloppy seconds Favre love fest.
Definitely in regards to records
What I hate more than the “love” he receives are his post-game gush fests where he looks like he’s going to cry everytime. I believe this is where analysts get their facts screwed up; he’s continued to play for selfish reasons and is portrayed as passionate. Just look at his interview after his flare-up with Chilly last week. “I came here for one reason, and I don’t have very much time.” No mention of the team anywhere.

it's a god damn miracle
that they didn’t decide to abuse the secondary until later. second half defense was the same d we saw all year, luckily in the first hald the vikings playcalling was terrible.
Now we see why we need to listen to our QB
He has been begging for DA all year.
Also we see another reason Lovie needs to go, the second 1/2 adjustments were horrible and his defensive scheme was/is pathetic.
Yet we beat the Queens so suck on it ESPN!
Cutler even laid down a little swipe at the staff
Said something like “I have been asking for him all year”
Don't forget
not calling a TO right before Minny scored the game-tying TD. He left three of them on the board, and could’ve given the offense at least 30 seconds to drive into FG range. He should be fired for this reason alone!

what?
i know the announcers said it as well, but your up 7. you’re supossed to at least think you’re going to stop them instead of concede that you are not.
They didn't stop them though
What’s the point in having TOs when you don’t use them to save time? What if the Vikes won the game in OT? The point is to give your team a chance to win the game in regulation.

New Orleans, Philly, Arizona and whoever we just helped out, your welcome.
I would personally like to extend my THANKS to the Bears! Ya’ll did a great job. I almost felt sorry for Farve.
Merry Christmas to N.O! Now the rest is up to us…..
I would also like to thank the bears, as a cowboys fan you have made sure the chances the boys will see
GB in the WC round almost a sure thing if dallas wins this sunday. I want dallas to have a rematch against that F$%*ing team and send them home. So thanks again.
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
YOUR WELCOME PHILLY !!!!
Donavon is a Chi-town guy and at least you have respect for the game by playing outside on grass (IN THE COLD….. did you here that Viqueens?) Domes and Dome teams should be banned in the NFL, it gives the game too much of an Arena league feeling. Last night was a great night for the NFL as a league, get the yellow pony- tailed sissys out in the elements and then see what happens !!!
AP needs to redo his commercial in the cold and snow, the commercial forgot to show his game losing, 2nd seed losing, home field losing, FUMBLE that cost his team……. toooooo BAD !!!!! the look on his face after the Cutler/ DA TD…. PRICELESS!!!
Hire Shanahan, keep Lovie as Def Coord.
Re-Assign Lovie to DC, Fire Turner, Hire Shanahan (Denver will still pay 7 million of his salary in 2010, Bears could get him for 3 million or less). Take power away from Angelo or feed him to the wolves…… I know, to much common sense for the McCaskeys…..
Chris Williams
He seemed to do a great job against one of the best DEs in the league. I only got to watch/listen the game for about two and half quarters though. DA is our #1 baby!

Where are the people who did not like the Cutler trade ?
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
Finally
Good to see an exciting game and a win. Ron Turner actually showed some originality and creativity with the offense this time. O-line played better, it wasn’t great, but better. Only what, like 3 penalties? Chris W was amazing at containing Allen. Running game was decent, got some nice yards. Cutler and Aromashodu are the real deal, I say combination sticks in the future. D-Line had some fire, and Tommie Harris looks like he’s finally over his shenanigans and injuries, I hope this is a sign of things to come. The injured secondary did a great job of minimizing big plays. Linebacker coverage wasn’t too great, gave up quite a bit of yards. Although our defense surrendered the lead, I’m happy how they put pressure and held up when it mattered most, especially in OT. (2 sacks) In general, good game, and I liked how the Bears worked as a team on both sides of the ball to get the win.
