Stat of the Week
The Chiefs offense has been limited to 25 points during their current four game losing streak, including only one touchdown on offense.

Injury Report

Saying that the Chiefs coming into a game relatively healthy is a broken record at this point, but it is true. The Chiefs do have a few players out this week with none of the players out are starters. The biggest player out for the Chiefs is probably backup linebacker Demorrio Williams.
As for the Bears they are still without starting quarterback Jay Cutler once again and probably for the entire season, and that means that they will be having backup Caleb Hanie who is making only his second career NFL start.
Kansas City Chiefs inactives:
• Quarterback Ricky Stanzi
• Tight end Jake O'Connell
• Tackle David Mims
• Defensive end Brandon Bair
• Nose tackle Jerrell Powe
• Linebacker Demorrio Williams
• Safety Donald Washington
Chicago Bears inactives:
• Quarterback Jay Cutler
• Quarterback Josh McCown
• Tight end Andre Smith
• Guard Ricky Henry
• Defensive tackle Anthony Adams
• Linebacker Jabara Williams
• Cornerback D.J. Moore

Weather Report
52 degrees and cloudy. Wind gusts up to 25 mph.

I really dont see Kyle Orton coming into Chicago and leading the Chiefs to victory. Our defense is playing to well. I don't even really see this as a trap game since we lost to the Raiders in a game the players feel they should have won.

[SportsWorld]

This should be a win. Think Orton will struggle bad.

[Chewie]

They sure hung around late vs the Steelers.

This is by no means a gimmee.

[ChronicKerr]

No game is a gimmee if you throw multiple interceptions and start inside your 20 yardline all game. Hanie will have to play better.

[Chewie]

Looks like Palko is starting for KC.

In other news, Cutler says he might well be done for the season which ESPN termed "Cutler Done" in their revolving margin headlines. All depends on how fast he heals but he sounded less optimistic than Lovie.

He can spend his time healing with Kristin Cavallari who he's now engaged to again. Nice consolation prize.

[WEFFPIM]

Nice consolation prize if she wasn't so bats*** crazy.

[NZB2323]

Will Orton be starting or does he need more time to learn the offense? It would be nice to go against Tyler Palko.

[emperorjones]

I heard Orton will not be the starter but is ready to come off the bench if the Chiefs get off to a slow start.

[Chewie]

You win more games when you score TDs ?

Tell me more!

[Chewie]

Maa-aan. My stream is complete crap. I've got the local KC feed which has a big map of Missouri taking up half the screen with all their weather warnings.

[emperorjones]

No challenge. Big play by Bears special teams. Good awareness but bonehead play by KC.

[Chewie]

Good to know you can just delay the game as long as you want to before figuring out if you actually want to challenge.

[emperorjones]

Hanie has happy feet

[emperorjones]

and poor accuracy.

[Chewie]

I was hoping for a run there with a long one yd to go.

Crap pass by Hanie. He isn't doing jack squat so far.

[emperorjones]

Nice coverage by Tillman after being lost on the play. Would have been a big gainer if they had a good QB

[Chewie]

Just let us know when you want to field one, Devin.

[Chewie]

Just me and you here today, ej ?

[emperorjones]

Thus far the offense looks bad.
