The good news? The Bears are 7-3 and have 10 days to prepare for the Eagles. The bad news? The current combined record of the Bears remaining opponents is 31 - 23 and that includes Minnesota and Detroit at (5-13) Philly and GB are both 6-3, NE and the Jets are both 7-2.
The Bears played OK tonight, ran for about 130 yds, threw for enough to keep Miami honest but need to improve on scoring TD's instead of FG's. Highlight was when Danieal Manning lit up Davon Bess with a textbook hit late in the game. (still shot above)
The O-line has been better but still not completely fixed. Cutler was sacked 3 times and fumbled on one of them, and he threw a pick after back-peddaling away from a collapsing pocket. JaMarcus Webb got called for 3 holding penalties and at times there were no holes to run through.
When you look ahead to the last 6 weeks you really can't help but look back at the back to back home losses to Seattle and Washington and say WTF? There is still work to be done, even if the Vikings and Lions pack it in and the Bears get 2 wins that is only 9(5-0 in division) and they will most likely need 10 to make the playoffs so they must beat at least one of Philly, NE, NYJ, and GB. Those first 3 teams all come to Chicago. Nothing is locked up yet, still plenty of work to be done
