The Bears didn’t look too good last night against the Cardinals.  Jay Cutler had a terrible game as he completed 10 of 20 passes for 129 yards with 2 INTs.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 11 yards (5.5 ypc) last night.  Rookie Dan LeFevour finished up this game and he looked pretty sharp in completing 10 of 12 passes for 100 yards with 1 TD pass.  He also carried the ball 1 time for 18 yards in this game.  Chester Taylor carried the ball 5 times for 36 yards (7.2 ypc) last night and he also caught 1 pass for 12 yards.  Khalil Bell pitched in with 17 yards rushing on 5 carries (3.4 ypc) and he added 2 grabs with 12 yards (6.0 avg).  WRs Johnny Knox (3 rec, 57 yards), Devin Hester (3 rec, 31 yards) and Juaquin Iglesius (2 rec, 28 yards, TD) all pitched in on the passing game for the Bears last night.  The Bears finished up with 82 yards rushing (4.3 ypc) and 210 yards passing last night.

Safety Danieal Manning (7 tackles) and LB Pisa Tinoisamoa (6 tackles) led the way for the Bears’ D last night.  The Cardinals finished up with 82 yards rushing (4.3 ypc) and 210 yards passing in this game last night.  The Bears fell to 0-3 on the pre-season with this loss.

When the Bears signed Chester Taylor you had to figure that Matt Forte was going to lose playing time and possibly his starting job.  But he has really stepped up his game this pre-season as he has been outstanding.  Forte has carried the ball 9 times for 116 yards (12.9 ypc) with 1 TD grab so far this pre-season.  I expect that Forte will be able to hold off Taylor for the starting job but it will be nice for him to have a RB the Bears feel confident in so that he gets a break once in a while.

The Bears looked pretty awful against the Raiders last Saturday Night.  Jay Cutler wasn’t very sharp as he completed 7 of 15 passes for 99 yards with 1 TD pass.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 11 yards (5.5 ypc) in this game.  Rookie QB Dan LeFevour finished up the game by completed 3 of 10 passes for 39 yards with 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 10 yards last Saturday Night.  Matt Forte was the star of the game for the Bears’ offense as he carried the ball 5 times for 109 yards (21.8 ypc) with 1 TD run.  Devin Hester only caught 1 pass for 29 yards but he also added 20 yards rushing on 2 carries.  TE Greg Olsen pitched in with 3 grabs for 26 yards (8.7 avg).  The Bears finished up with 174 yards rushing (7.0 ypc) but only 100 yards passing in this game.

LB Hunter Hillenmeyer led the way for the Bears’ D in this game with 7 tackles.  DE Julius Peppers also had a solid game with 5 tackles, 1 sack and 1 pass defensed.  The Raiders finished up with 113 yards rushing (3.0 ypc) and 225 yards passing in this game.

The Bears looked pretty awful in this game on Saturday night.  Jay Cutler’s appearance was very brief but he looked good completing both of his pass attempts for 47 yards.  Caleb Hanie was so-so before leaving the game with a injury.  He completed 10 of 17 passes for 148 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT.  He lost a fumble on the play he was hurt on as he was driven into the ground hard by a defender.  Rookie Dan LeFevour didn’t look to good in his first taste of NFL action as he completed 2 of 10 passes for 21 yards.  Kahlil Bell led the way on the ground for the Bears in this game with 12 whole yards on 6 carries (2.0 ypc).  He also caught 1 pass for 13 yards in this game.  WR Devin Aromashodu had a excellent game for the Bears on Saturday night with 4 grabs for 78 yards (19.5 avg) with 1 TD grab.  The Bears only rushed for 48 yards (2.3 ypc) and they passed for 168 yards in this game.

The defense really didn’t play that well either.  Linebacker Kevin Malast (7 tackles, 1 pass defensed) and rookie safety Major Wright (7 tackles) led the way for the Bears on D in this game.  The Chargers finished up with 120 yards rushing (3.6 ypc) and 215 passing yards on Saturday night.

The Bears didn’t even need Jay Cutler to beat the Browns.  Caleb Hanie got the start and he completed 9 of 13 passes for 119 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception.  Brett Basanez finished up the game by completing 10 of 13 passes for 144 yards with 1 TD pass.  Adrian Peterson led the Bears in rushing in this game with 39 yards on 12 carries (3.3 ypc).  Rookie WR Juaquin Iglesias had a good game for the Bears with 5 catches for 72 yards (14.4 avg).  The Bears finished up with 338 total yards in this game (99 rushing, 239 passing).

CB Roderick Hood (7 tackles) and DE Ervin Baldwin (7 tackles, 2 sacks) led the way for the Bears on D.  The Browns finished up with 282 total yards on offense (103 rushing, 179 passing).  The Bears finished up with a 3-1 record in the pre-season.
