Is McGahee out? Last night, after the first quarter and a half, I thought the Bears D looked respectable... not great, but respectable. If McGahee is out... this game becomes much more winnable. Campbell has looked very not Campbell lately... but if you're not committed to running on our defense, I like our chances.

I think the Bears can win out. The larger problem is that Detroit has to lose one of their games. The Ravens might be up to the task, but I don't see the Giants or Vikings actually showing up in the last two weeks of the season. This all goes back to Trestman and Cutler in that last Detroit game. Had they gone to McCown earlier (or started him), I think the Bears are up one game on Detroit at this point. Now, we have to depend on Detroit losing and us winning out to make the playoffs.

I think the Bears D has shown that it doesn't matter WHO is running, they will get 100 yards. Just have to hope that Cleveland is like the rest of the teams that don't realize that if they ran 70% of the time, they could probably blow us out.

Exactly! Our pass defense is not complete ****, and it's actually 10th in the league in total yards. We just can't stop anyone on the run. Injuries have really hurt us.

[chitownsports4ever]

Jays been named starter.He just needs to play up to his capabilities and he will be fine if he doesnt he will almost certainly get the Rex treatment

[patryk7754]

I think we forgot how great cutler played before he got hurt. I think he has 6 ints this season. 4 of those came in one game. What people who want Mccown to stay as the starter is that no only was cutler playing with a "hot hand" he got to watch and learn all the positive things Josh was doing from the sideline. I wouldn't be surprised if Cutler finishes the season with 9 tds and 0 ints

jay has like 11-12 turnovers something like 8 picks and like 4 fumbles or something like that . The Bears as a team only have 16

[CBS7]

This is probably more of a "alright Jay show us what you can do if you want an extension" type move.

[heir_jordan22]

Jennings needs to play extremely well or Gordon will destroy us. The Browns have no RBs right now but I'm sure some random guy will get 150+yds on 5+yards per carry. These young linebackers need to step up so we dont have to bring Wright and Conte into the box.

Injuries have really screwed our run d. It wasn't this bad when Paea, briggs, dj williams were healthy.

[Badbeats]

I really hope we dont have a let down and win this game!

I think Chris Ogbonnaya can get a solid 160 yards on the ground versus us. Our D has been so bad, yet I feel like we can win most games.

I think Trestman has shown he is a great offensive coordinator. Marshall and Alshon are just 2 of the best in the league. Bennet is a top tier TE. Forte looks like a top back. The Offensive Line is just solid, something I have not been able to say for years!

LETS GO BEARS!!!!

[chitownsports4ever]

Seriously jay ? but I blame it on Trestman for not giving the ball to Forte anyway

[patryk7754]

This defense is garbage. Cutler scares me. Idk how much longer I can take this

[patryk7754]

I was watching nespn earlier and they said if cutler plays bad that the defensive lkayers would call him out. Somone still tell them to look in a mirror

[IbreakNeckZ101]

unbelievable.. if Cutler throws one more pick or turnover, his ass is grass!

[dumbell78]

Really bro??? INT on your 1st drive??? Im shocked!!

[chitownsports4ever]

1st down from the Cleveland 14 why are we throwing ?

[patryk7754]

Should have ran it even though only three runs have gone past the line of scrimmage and the browns have the 4th best run defense

[chitownsports4ever]

So we are back to Brandon being the only receiver on the field . Cutlers tendencies are pretty transparent
