Bears getting mauled.....sort of expected imo.....that offense is flat out mediocre at best, and the D wont turnover the ball at a record pace all season.

Bears D is getting absolutely torched by a QB making his first ever career start.

Hard to believe.

Not a great showcase for Campbell who was supposed to use this as a chance to get a possible starting job next season.

True....but there is no help for him at all from the rest of the offense, particularly that o line. They have Marshall and Forte....and quite literally nothing else as far as playmakers.

I will predict right now that Chicago misses the playoffs if they dont make some immediate changes on the line, as Carimi among others simply arent NFL ready.

Just a dreadful offense right now.

I agree he doesn't have much help but 27 yards passing is still 27 yards passing help or no help.

Final numbers for the Bears, and they are nothing short of atrocious.

151 yds on offense...66 yds passing and 85 rushing. 5 sacks, a safety and 2 turnovers.

Now there is little doubt that SF defense is the best in the business right now, and starting a backup QB against them was never gonna result in a great offensive display, but that kind of stat line is beyond those excuses. That team is in trouble i believe.

Yeah, until the Bears correct that offensive line, they won't be able to beat other playoff calibre teams. So far in their 3 losses, they have 6, 6, and 7 points, and their QB was abused in all of those games against other playoff teams. It's almost impossible to win playoff games nowadays without scoring 20 points.

27 yards passing is remarkable when you consider the bears chose to play the game without offensive tackles. Holy Christ.

I really hope Jared Allen and Brian Robison were watching that game and taking notes.

Bears are the worst 7-2 (now 7-3) team in the league, they beat no one to get to 7 wins they may make it to the playoffs but will be a very early exit. The Offense is putrid and the defense wont continue the scoring pace its just not possible.

I bet huge on the texans and the 49ers and both paid off. Im hoping vegas doesnt catch on to the Bears ineptitude and keeps giving me those favorable spreads at least for a couple more weeks

Taking notes on how to beat JaMarcus Webb seems unnecessary.

So you guys are saying Brandon Marshall didn't get me the 20 points I needed in fantasy?

I'm saying that if jay cutler doesn't get back in action, the Matt Ryan for Brandon Marshall straight across trade I made is going to look ridiculously lopsided.

Wow, dog pile on the Bears. Take away the starting QB of any team and expect similar results. They may not have won with Jay but it would have been a game. Cutler is a good QB and I think he'd be even better if he wasn't getting sacked 6 times a game due to that brutal O line.

the bears are a good team, but anytime they have played a good team this year, they have been beat. e.g Packer, Texans 49ers.. they arent as great as some seem to think they are. they beat up on bad teams
