Over the first 3 weeks of the season I have been on a roller coaster ride with this Bears team.

Wow. I haven’t been able to write about a Chicago Bears win since my birthday a year ago.
The drive redeemed an ugly interception on the Bears’ previous possession.
“That’s coach’s job to make that decision”, Hoyer (Michigan State) said about who will start atr quarterback.
The Raiders still had a chance when the Bears faced a fourth-and-5 with 1:30 to play on their first series of downs.
The Bears offense clicked early with Cutler under center. He went 9 of 14. And in the end, he made up for a big interception by orchestrating a drive that led to Robbie Gould’s last-second field goal.
“We’ve got an active 46 (-man roster), we try to take advantage and utilize those guys”, Del Rio said. Not sure there is anything he can’t do. He was also sacked twice for a loss of 23 yards, and a costly lost fumble in crunch time. He would achieve that on his 5th carry. Marc Wilson threw for 346 yards and Marcus Allen had 102 yards rushing and 102 yards receiving in the 1986 season opener against Denver. When he lined up outside, Porter was opposite him. They used Roy Helu and Amari Cooper on kickoffs and punts, respectively late in the game. The dude is a beast.
The Raiders come in with back-to-back wins over Baltimore and Cleveland after a season-opening loss to Cincinnati.
“I was really happy to see smiles in there”, Fox said. The youngster is finding his way in the NFL.
Doug, I’ll continue to love you until you can love yourself. He’s getting those now. If Will Montgomery can’t go, then he’s the guy who should be in there.
On Wednesday he compared the Bears” rebuilding to Chicago “s famous (more like infamous) traffic.
Kansas City’s Sean Smith is back from his three-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, and he’s having a tough time of it against the Bengals. I have found myself tweeting this every single week. The two-minute drill is where teams show how calm they can be under pressure and how well they have prepared during the week. With that, more plays will be made.
“Just trying to get out of there and get to a few open space”.
JUST SAYIN’: Balls doesn’t know if the revised extra-point rule is the reason for all these no-good kickers lately, but the National Football League rule-makers have gotten inside their heads at the very least. Sunday was a great time for the Bears to get him going.
Oakland’s linebackers and safeties when covering the tight end. Hence the fact Bennett finished the day with 11 receptions for 83 yards and 1 touchdown.
However, with young players, you’re not going to get that same level of play week in and week out. Rams LB Alex Ogletree left the game in the third quarter with an ankle injury and did not return. The offensive line is the big concern moving forward.
Forte had an uncharacteristic fumble and a botched snap from fill-in center Matt Slauson allowed Oakland to score 10 points off the two turnovers. With several motivators hitting the team hard over the last week or so, and a manageable schedule, the Bears aren’t anywhere close to out of the playoff picture. “He was pretty much the Cutler that was 100 percent, it looked like to me”.
After a 62-yard drive to the Rams’ 4-yard line, the Cardinals had to settle for a 21-yard field goal from Catanzaro. These are the types of games that build a team’s character.

But Del Rio went out of his way to downplay any possible larger significance to Sunday’s result, and his players eagerly followed his public lead.
