I don't even know what to make of the Bears any longer, but they need to put together a big win streak. With Minnesota twice, Baltimore, and one more versus the Packers, it is getting a bit hard to seeing the Bears make magic happen. They certainly have talent at a lot of positions, but the offensive line needs to be completely retooled, and they need to figure out how to tighten up the secondary. The Bears are welcoming the high flying Philadelphia Eagles, and it is not a good thing to think of McNabb, Jackson and Maclin against our banged up secondary. Al Afalava is expected to play, but Kevin Payne is listed as doubtful. On the Philly side Brian Westbrook is out and pretty much their entire secondary is either out or coming off of an injury. |

Week 11 Preview: Eagles (5-4) @ Bears (4-5)
The Bears get to "show off" once again on national TV Sunday night vs the Eagles. Maybe the rest of the country will learn from last Thursday night's ugliness, and watch something else.

Garrett Wolfe Out For the Year (Updated)
Garrett Wolfe has a lacerated kidney that will sideline him the rest of the year. So who is out there? Larry Johnson looks very tantalizing right now but our old nemisis Cincinnatti picked him up. We are getting really thin at this position. Can you say Tiki Barber?
Trade deadline has passed so if Matt Forte gets hurt, we are in deep trouble. It looks to me like the Bears are going to have to scour the practice squads of every team in the NFL to find some back-ups. This is due to their reluctance to sign NFL players that become available. I guess they figure they will never need the help.
UPDATE: Bears officially place Wolfe on IR. We should see someone replace him soon, so as not to have to reduce the number of players on the practice squad. Helmet-tip to Brad Biggs!
UPDATE #2: Kahlil Bell upgraded from practice squad to 53 man roster.

Comcast Red Zone: Keys to Victory
This post is sponsored by Comcast's Red Zone. Catch Every Touchdown From Every Game. Every Sunday Afternoon.
Starting off the season winning three of the first four games was a great feeling. Since then, losing four of the next five has been gut-wrenching.... but, it has taught us a lot about our football team. We've definitely got plenty of talent to build around for years to come, but we've also got some glaring issues that have to be addressed.
And when we play a team like the Eagles on prime-time television, the keys to victory aren't that hard to figure out.

NightLinks: Turner Says Cutler's Struggles Aren't Vision-related
In what has been a hot topic for both main-stream media and small football blogs, offensive coordinator Ron Turner addresses the speculation that Jay Cutler's struggles this year could be sight-related.
''I think it is totally a coincidence, I really do,'' Turner said. ''It's not a situation where it's night, it's prime time and maybe he's trying to force the issue too much. That is not the case. I went back and looked at all of them -- that hasn't been the case. I don't know.''
When one reporter brought up the fact that Vinny Testaverde was color-blind, and also had trouble throwing picks, Turner responded:

QuickHits: Bears-style
We got a couple of things to bring your way this afternoon...
Center Olin Kreutz returned to work this afternoon, after missing the first two days of practice this week, but Desmond Clark remains sidelined. And not only is he still sidelined, he may miss Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Also, from the Bears vs NBC silliness that has been a focus of interest, the team issued a statement this afternoon.
