Chicago Bears Defense Takes A Step in the Wrong Direction
The Chicago Bears 09' season is one filled with optimism. The Denver Broncos did the Bears a favor by creating trade talk with Jay Cutler, the Bears knew if they wanted to reach and win the Super Bowl they needed more then a game manager quarterback.
Jay Cutler is the first pro Bowl quarterback for the Bears in many ages - while the bears base their team on defense and running the ball, that mentality won't get them a Super Bowl ring only.
Kyle Orton and Rex Grossman were average quarterbacks at best, and diminished the effectiveness of an amazing defensive unit and a great running game, especially after the emergence of Matt Forte.
For the Bears to win the division they must play their best ever single week.
The Minnesota Vikings might be the favorite to come out of the NFC North - the Bears have a chance to be there as well at the end of the season. With the exception of facing the Detroit Lions, every game the Bears play against the Vikings and Green Bay Packers should be well contested.
The Chicago Bears defense isn't what it was, they might not strike fear into the opponents hearts like they once did such as in 06'. The Bears defense still can create turnovers and cause disruption for opposing QB's - especially when the weather turns cold and windy in Soldier Filed.
Cutler redeemed himself in the team's second game. Facing the defending Super Bowl champions, Cutler and the Bears looked like a different team out there, finding their way to a 17-14 victory over the Steelers, highlighted by a 4th quarter comeback that saw the team score 10 points.
This was a nice way for the team to redeem itself, and the Bears suddenly have a clean slate going forward.
