The Chicago Bears fell behind early and rallied back late, but it wasn’t enough in a 21-14 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
It also didn’t help that Chicago saw starting quarterback Jay Cutler and backup Todd Collins both get knocked out of the game with injuries.
There was some questions raised following the game about how bad Jay Cutler’s knee injury really was and why he didn’t return.
Third-string quarterback Caleb Hanie actually played really well and almost orchestrated an improbable comeback. (more…)

The Chicago Bears could have been stuck facing the New Orleans Saints, but instead ended up with a pleasant surprise.
The Bears will host the Seattle Seahawks with a berth in the NFC championship game on the line.
While it would seem like a fantastic draw for the Bears, they did lost at home earlier in the year to Seattle.
There is no doubt that the Bears would love nothing more than to avenge that loss and reach the NFC championship game. (more…)

The Chicago Bears didn’t rest any of their starters but still came up short in a 10-3 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
The Bears were hoping for a miracle in the form of an Atlanta loss, which could have given them the NFC’s No. 1 seed.
Instead, Atlanta crushed Carolina as was expected and the Bears could not get past the Packers.
The game had added significance for the Bears because a victory would have booted their rivals out of the playoffs. (more…)
