The Chicago Bears (4-4) looked awful on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals (5-3) and things are not looking good for the Bears’ playoff chances.  Not only did the Bears fail to execute, but they just did not seem to be playing as hard as the Cardinals and seemed like they were almost giving up.  Tommie Harris lost his head and was ejected after the first play of the game.  Harris punched Cardinals’ OT Deuce Lutui and things were all downhill from then on for the Bears.  Greg Olsen was one of the few Bears who played with some pride, as the tight end was the only Bears player to score.  Olsen had a career high three touchdowns on five catches, amounting for 71 yards.

The Bears quickly found themselves down and were losing 31-7 at halftime.  With virtually no running game and down big, Jay Cutler had to throw the ball a lot.  He ended up putting up some pretty good numbers, getting 369 yards and three touchdowns on 29/47 attempts, but the quarterback was visibly frustrated throughout the game and didn’t play like a leader should.  On the defensive side, things were even worse.  The Bears defense let Kurt Warner go for five touchdown passes and 261 yards on 22/32 attempts.  His favorite target was Larry Fitzgerald, who caught nine passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns. The Bears also let the Cardinals rush for 182 yards as a team.  This was a pathetic effort by the Bears on both sides of the ball and if they want any chance at making the playoffs they need to make some serious adjustments.
