What a lucky ass kick. Give me a break.

Horrendous penalty call on Idonije. Bogus. I'm going to be pissed if they score now.

I said Cam usually struggles to finish games.. That wasn't really his fault there. Smith slipped. Oh well, Bears up 20-19!

I'm always shocked when Kellen Davis catches a football

Yeah, that might be the nail in the coffin. If Panthers score on this drive, you can kiss this one goodbye.

I would declare this game over, but we're playing the Panthers. Newton usually struggles to finish out games. But it's getting awfully close to being done.

Steve Smith owns the Bears. I've always been a fan of him. Guy is a warrior.

And that's why Devin Hester is not a WR. He'll make a flash play every once in a while, but those are few and far between. Keep him as a return specialist, you can just scratch out his plays on offense.

Great drive to start the 1st half! NOT D is getting worn out because offense is so bad.

Anyone else make out what Cutler was saying as he walked into the locker room? Looked like he said, "These f---ing fans, I swear to god."

Nothing on offense is working. The offensive line can't block, the quarterback can't throw, the receivers can't catch. It might be jonathon scott time, but the question is, which side? Also, what is Kellen Winslow up to these days? I know it would not happen but how is he not instantly better than any TE on the Bears right now?

This is embarrassing.

This play calling is an exact replica of the Green Bay game. Long developing plays, Cutler doesn't get rid of the ball, sack.. Stupid gameplan. Steve Smith is amazing..

3 sacks so far. Two, Cutler's fault. He needs to get it together.

Jay Cutler sucks this season.. Thrown into triple coverage to Brandon Marshall. 8 interceptions already now..

I agree, although on Cutler's weekly radio show, he said out of those 3 plays, 2 of them Tice gave him run/pass options. I guess he thought he had better looks with the pass, based on how the defense was lining up. Still, you'd like to see a hand off or two to Michael Bush.. I mean, that is why you brought him here in the first place. He converts on those opportunities more times than not.

My thoughts on the Suh hit: I would agree that the takedown itself was not dirty. However the leg whip was unnecessary. When a guy like Suh is making these plays, forgive me if I can't look past his already extensive history of dirty/illegal cheap shots he's had over the years on quarterbacks. If that leg whip had landed properly it could have buckled Cutler's knee pretty bad and we'd be having a much different discussion... So I don't have a problem with the amount of force he used to take down the quarterback, that's perfectly within his limits, however I do believe his intentions were to hurt Cutler. - The defense is clearly playing on another level right now. By far the best defense in the NFL. Everybody else belongs in a different stratosphere. I think it's fair though to question whether or not this level of play can hold up, given the age and attrition on that side of the ball. - The offense is a work in progress, but it's progressing slower than I ever anticipated. Earl Bennett just seems off this year, I don't know what it is. He doesn't seem like himself. He's not "going to the football" on Cutler's passes. He had another one last night where he could he come back to the ball for a catch, and didn't, and it almost ended up being picked off at the goal line. The running game is a bit hot/cold to start off the year. We haven't really had that one big game yet on the ground. We started off breaking off big runs on the Lions, but squandered a little bit in the 2nd half. Tice has been so/so as a play caller. It's definitely a work in progress for him, seeing as though he's never done this before. - As for Carimi, I do fear he might suck, but as I do with all rookies, you have to give them at least a full year and a half before you can make any sort of declarative statements about the prospects of his future. Right now he is sucking. That's a fact. I don't know whether or not he will suck in the future, but at this point in time, he definitely kinda sorta sucks. He's a penalty waiting to happen and hasn't been able to hold up very well in pass protection. I know his forte is suppose to be in run blocking, which is why he's not on the left side, but he definitely needs improvement in protecting the quarterback. At best he's been inconsistent.

I have never agreed, nor will I ever agree with the way the Bears play defense to close out games. I understand the principle of not letting teams beat you deep.. But jesus christ, you were doing that in the first place in the 1st 3 quarters of the game! What's wrong with staying with what's working?! Make them get rid of the ball quickly, because you know when you back off their just going to easily get into the redzone anyways after 4 or 5 check downs. It's stupid, and makes no sense to me.

I think Gabe Carimi might suck.

Don't think 13 points is enough to win this game. We won't shut out the Lions. They've been a 2nd half team all year.

Is Tice really that stupid to not run the ball one time inside the 5 yard line? What the hell is he doing?

I'm worried about Cutler. He clearly can't throw the ball right now. There is nothing on his throws.

Oh please, not again.. Please Cutler, don't be hurt!

freakin Kellen Davis. Cut this bum already! CATCH THE BALL!

I hate Charles Woodson.
