Caleb Hanie may have taken his last snap with the Bears, or for that matter any NFL team on Sunday. Hanie was 10 for 23 for 111 yards with one TD to his team and 2 more to the Seahawks on Sunday. Hanie finished with 3 INT's on the day and was replaced by Josh McCown.
After a promising first half the Bears came out flat to start the third quarter and the flood gates opened as Seattle scored 31 second half points. Final 38-14.
Johnny Knox went down in the first quarter with a nasty injury that required the cart to take him off the field. He was taken to the hospital where he was able to move all his extremities a good sign. No further word on the extent of the injury.
With only two weeks left in the season the Bears have some choices to make. One of which is not if Jay Cutler or Matt Forte should return, both should be done for the season. What they do have to figure out his who will start at quarterback the next two weeks. Josh McCown is who they most likely will go with, a move that I do not indorse. The reason being is McCown is not going to be on this team next year, so the Bears need to know what they have in rookie Nathan Enderle. My guess is he is not the answer.
There are 25+ free agent quarterbacks set to hit the market this off-season a route the Bears must go to prevent this from happing again.
The Bears look like a team that was beat Sunday. With the season over even though 2 games remain this team has a lot of holes to fill for next season. If the season ended today the Bears would have the #12 pick in the draft. A far cry from a team just about a month ago where serious Super Bowl contenders.
Tough season for Bears fans, one I blame Jerry Angelo for. A team thin at almost every position. This team is not getting any younger and the window is closing fast.
They need to hit free agency hard and do a better job on draft day if we want a Super Bowl champion. Let me know what you think and as always.
Bear Down....

ReplyDeleteThey could have at least bought the Bears dinner and drinks first...
It sure looked like the Bears were drunk in the second half so maybe they did!
