“I don’t know what it was. I’m going to carry this through the season”. “So I think it really gives me a good perspective going into Week 2 and lets me know what I need to work on”.

“We tried to come out with intensity and we wanted to get points that first drive and sometimes it’s like that”, WR Eddie Royal said.
For all the criticism Cutler takes, he revealed after Sunday’s loss why teammates view him as such a respected leader.
Cutler’s receivers stopped catching key passes and running correct routes in crucial situations.
Jay Cutler on opening Day: 6-3 (.667)- Cutler has generally been rock solid on opening day, especially as a member of the Bears. “We did some film study and thought we would have that play, and we did what we practiced.”Chicago closed the second quarter with a flourish, covering 75 yards in three plays after the Fuller drop”. Langford managed no run longer than 15 yards and did contribute two pass receptions, with a 19-yard screen pass wiped out by an interference call against tight end Zach Miller. The offensive line showed its lack of cohesion, the receivers were inconsistent and the run game wasn’t good enough to complement the passing attack.

If he delivers, the Bears could have a dynamic tandem with Alshon Jeffery.
Osweiler has seven NFL starts (his first came a year ago in Chicago when he was with the Broncos) in which he has put together some very good halves of football, but he has yet to put together an entire game and yet to take a snap that counts in the Texans’ offense.
This was the kind of game that had you thinking about a scheduled team the Bears surely can beat this year. Fuller had four catches for 100 yards in the second half, including the go-ahead 18-yard touchdown on a wide receiver screen on third-and-7. Defensively, Chicago also has talent, but they are now dealing with a lot of injuries, especially on the back end.

It’s the reason they didn’t put up a point in the second half. “They’re a talented front and when you get too one-dimensional like that, it becomes problematic for everyone”.
What followed in the fourth quarter were countless hits to Cutler.
Cody White got the expected start at center, pitting him against veteran nose tackle Vince Wolfork.
Whitehair claimed the blame himself. Keep doing you, Jay.

“We’ve got to execute better as a defense”, rookie Leonard Floyd said. The offense took over on their own 39 yard line. Cushing will not require surgery. [The Texans] did exactly what Dowell and coaches said they were going to do. It was just getting us in the right play, flipping it out there about six or seven yards.
