Hester Makes History; Bears dismantle Vikings to become NFC North Champions

PrintThe Bears are the NFC North Champions!!!
Devin Hester made history with his 14th punt/kickoff return touchdown. Those shoes, whatever type they are, will be going to the hall of fame. He also caught a TD pass. Just because he could.
Jay Cutler went 13/24 for 194 yards, 3 TD, 1 int
Matt Forte with 17 carries for 92 yards.
Garrett Wolfe with 4 carries for 8 yards. You know it's a good game when Wolfe is getting carries.
Johnny Knox with 2 receptions, 78 yards, and a TD
And an absolutely dominating performance by the Bears defense. Four sacks. Three picks. It's going to be hard to give out game balls for this one. Every phase showed up, and they absolutely dominated the Minnesota Vikings.
On a somber note, Brett Favre left the game with a head injury. Say what you will about the man, and the frustrations he can provide, but he was a hell of a competitor for nearly two decades. Hope his noggin's alright.
It's a great night to be Bears fans. We'll be discussing this more tomorrow, but for now, bask in the feeling of the 2010 NFC NORTH CHAMPION CHICAGO BEARS

clearly an accident
In an Ideal world I would have all ten fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching.
Dilfer said
He hates Cutler’s mechanics and ripped on him for like 5 minutes but then he admitted one of the reasons he criticizes him so much was b/c he couldn’t do that. He said “I admit, I wish I had Cutler’s abilities” so he’s just jealous.

I was a Hester basher this offseason/preseason but as a wideout only
But I never was calling for him waiving, I just wanted him to get his kick return mojo back and that has happened so all is well. as far as Urlacher some people were saying he had seen better days and to see what we could get for him before it was completely too late. I wasnt one of those guys.

I quote Donald Banks before the week 1
Last place: Chicago Bears (5-11)
Often a winless preseason translates not in the slightest to what a team will be come the regular season. But there was something entirely listless and directionless about the 0-4 Bears this summer, and I do believe that bodes for big trouble in Chicago. Lovie Smith’s guys had better win their opener at home against Detroit, because with Dallas, Green Bay and the Giants waiting in Weeks 2-4, a snowball effect could ensue.

Hmmm
The viking are really bad.Can’t believe the Bears will win the North, but they got all the breaks this season, avoided the injury bug and played teams that were missing key players. But I do think we’ll win the Wild Card and then we’ll knock them out of the playoffs, which will be sweet.
It is pretty amazing how the Bears have gotten break after break this year. 18 penalties called against the Packers on Monday night, the two brutal calls in both games against the Lions, etc..
maybe you can put an asterisk on their division title ;)

Quick thoughts:
1. Hester is so fun to watch. He is the greatest return man in history!
2. Solid win and props to the Bears AND Lovie for coming out and destroying a bad Vikings team.
3. I still hate Favre!
4. Everyone played well tonight.
5. You know it’s going well when R Davis is catching TDs!
6. No big injuries, successful win, division champs!
7. Keep up the momentum and make your playoff run.
8. Special props to Corey Wootton for taking out Favre!!!!!

It's a combination (I think)
He has that weird accent and then by nature he just seems to be a humble, soft-spoken guy and that translates into him kind of mumbling and being kind of intimidated to be talking to the press. That’s what I think anyway.

Just goes to show this is a great special teams unit. Might be the best I’ve ever seen, but hey, I’m a young guy, so take that with a grain of salt.
DA BEARS!!!
They might be one and done in the playoffs, but that’s a whole world away. Right now, they’re the NFC NORTH CHAMPS!!! And it feels awesome!!!
we need to give and admit that we is dumb. dumb as hell.
Great presser by Hester
Seeing Urlacher doing the interview in a t-shirt next to the three ESPN people in big ol coats made me laugh too.
Even though Favre is a pain, that is a tough way to go out. Props for being tough enough to play through the first shoulder injury, now please just retire and let all of the drama end.

the pick to knox
on the fron foot is deep and a td. it leads to more accuracy and more power.

I knew a girl in school who had a terrible burden (her father was in prison for the murder of her mother), but the girl was a real manipulative beeyotch. We put up with it out of pity for a long time, then realized that “sometimes terrible things happen to icky people, and it doesn’t make them a saint.” So all you can do is politely withdraw and move on.

I’m a sad Dolphins fan but have family in the Chicago area so I’m partial to the bears(long as they aren’t playing the FIns, but we saw how that went this year haha). I have a question perhaps you guys could answer…why is Chester Taylor your goal line back? I watched him consistently get stuffed behind the line and at the line tonight while Forte carries guys for extra yards half the time. (and no this doesn’t have anything to do with fantasy football! just an observation haha)
Taylor's had better luck plowing forward on the goal line
before this week, forte was better used in passing/screens.

I haven't been this happy (as a sports fan) since '06
I’ve never been so happy to be so wrong about a prediction (I said we’d be 8-8)

They got better as the year progressed
after the loss to the Redskins, I lost a lot of faith. I couldn’t believe they’d beat all the teams they did this past 5 weeks. I mean, the Eagles, Dolphins, Vikings twice, some good wins there.

lol at least I said 9-7 with a chance of 10-6
figured with Urlacher and Pisa back and Peppers D would be good again

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team(s), throughout the good and the bad. And don't switch to whichever team wins the Super Bowl each year.
I thought Wooten killed him.

That's What Ditka Said
When Dent KO’d That Lions QB way back
Butkus hit a lion so hard they actually thought he was going to die
the picture in the paper the next day with Butkus standing over him was scary

Correct, it was Marshall.
Dent still belongs in The Hall.

I Think It would be fitting
For Favre to play his last career game against the Bears. Its been a great rivalry
God I love that picture
his last play of all time!!!

I do not wish ill will on Favre, but with that said
seeing Favre (an old Bears nemesis) on the ground, covered by Melton & Wootton (the new guard, of Rush Rod’s Rushmen), brings warm feelings to my heart.
I do not wish him ill,
but I do wish he would just go away

Grats guys
From a Vikings fan. We didn’t give you much of a test alas. Well hope we at least made you sweat a little on that first drive.
Go forth and make the division proud.
Not bad for the third best team in the division ^-^

bears are the champs again.
On a somber note, Brett Favre left the game with a head injury. Say what you will about the man, and the frustrations he can provide, but he was a hell of a competitor for nearly two decades. Hope his noggin’s alright.
no doubt. you hated to face bret. what ever team he was on. no better complement then one from your biggest rivals.
that being said lets go kill the jets.

Well at this point
We could do absolutely nothing in the playoffs and this season will still be a success.
NFLN and ESPN both had the Bears fighting for 3rd with records anywhere from 3-13 to 7-9.
This Bears team has a lot of fight in them and no give. It’s a good team in a season where no team has really broken away from the pack. They’re going to make some noise here in a few weeks.
13. It's a magic number
Oh and i forgot to mention (for my 2222nd comment)
HOW BOUT COREY WOOTTEN?!?!?
Didn’t i tell ya’ll??
Ayyee yeah that’s right Wootten, the man who single handedly ended brett favre’s career!
13. It's a magic number
You've got 2 more games....
but damn…I think if nothing else people will remember Corey Wootten as:

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer.
So feel free to ignore.
BUT
Has Devin Hester not looked like the Devin Hester of old the past few weeks?
You do not take a guy who is the best ever at what he does and make him do something else. You do not put him in a role that is more susceptible to injury. What on earth was Lovie thinking?

Totally Understand
Trying not to be annoying but when Hester has a great night I feel like a psychopath… extremely happy and pissed at the same time.
I think I can safely say...
you are mistaken in this instance. He’s being used in exactly the proper capacity as a KR/PR with occasional WR duties on offense. The balance is right and his dominance as the premier KR/PR justifies his salary without the need to “over sell” his skills on offense. And I know Ms. Downer real well!

I agree.
His role is correct this year because they’ve taken away the majority of his touches as a WR.
That hasn’t been the case the past few years.
What are you talking about?
Did you watch the same game i did?
Were you on hallucinogenic drugs?

I’m flying back from Chicago during the Jets game. Is there any chance this gets flexed to 4pmET? Or the night game? MIN @ PHI is the night game…

Cribbs who?
Hester is the greatest that will ever do this, I love how the media tried to crown Cribbs. media FAIL.
Welcome to the Sound Pound...
Everytime I see that Fathead commercial
with him, it makes me want to puke. How he swats his hand at the end… [censored]
Hey Cribbs. You’re not 1/10 the player Hester is. How about that?
Where are the fans who said Hester would have more impact as a WR?
Good to see the team admit its mistake and return him to full time KR/PR duty with a side of WR.

Re: Cutler's interception
Steve Young said this was the type of throw that made him want to stick a fork in his eye. I’d love to hand him a fork, right about now. Or how about a spoon? Would you like a spoon?
To me, the play right before he threw an absolute laser beam to Aro in the back of the endzone. That ball cut through the wind like a razor. He had great protection and was able to really step into the throw. The very next play, he saw something similar, and had single coverage on Knox, but Minn had a blitz on and the pressure came from the exact same side he was stepping into. So… he couldn’t put everything into the throw. It wasn’t a bad throw. I’ve seen him make bad throws. That was just a great defensive play, and it resulted in a turnover.
The play right before that one, he was not under pressure and was able to rocket the ball to the back of the endzone. The very next play, he wasn’t able to step into the throw, into the wind, and it was under-thrown. It’s not a bad throw as much as it is a great defensive call.
Annoying.
Anyway, GO BEARS!!!
It was a terrible throw
showed very poor judgement

And that was the only bad decision he made all night
Plus, I believe he was robbed of that beautiful TD pass to Aromashodu on the previous play.
by Erik Christopher Duerrwaechter on Dec 21, 2010 1:45 PM CST up reply actions
last night's game
He also missed a 4th TD on that play in the end zone when #41 broke up the pass intended for Knox. Worried that he stayed in the game so long after it was decided, but great game by #6. Division champs!!!!
