The Bears rolled up a ton of yards last night but they just couldn’t convert them into points, and it cost them this game.  Jay Cutler completed 13 of 21 passes for 170 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 INT last night.  Caleb Hanie finished up the game and he didn’t look too sharp.  Hanie completed 9 of 18 passes for 107 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 INT (it was returned 90 yards for a TD by Titans’ safety Tommie Campbell).  Hanie also carried the ball 3 times for 22 yards (7.3 ypc) last night.  Matt Forte led the way on the ground for the Bears last night with 74 yards rushing on 17 carries (4.4 ypc) with 1 TD run.  He also caught 1 pass for 15 yards in this game.  Kahlil Bell was also busy with 48 yards rushing on 11 carries (4.4 ypc).  He also caught 3 passes for 20 yards (6.7 avg) last night.  WR Earl Bennett led the way in the passing game for the Bears last night with 6 grabs for 89 yards (14.8 avg).  The Bears finished up with 148 yards rushing on 35 carries (4.2 ypc) and they also completed 22 of 39 passes (56.4%) for 268 yards as they had possession of the ball for 35:37.

The Chicago Bears were incredible defensively while the offense was stuck in neutral most of the night.  Jay Cutler made a brief appearance in which he completed his only pass attempt (it was good for 1 yard) and he also carried the ball 1 time for 10 yards.  Caleb Hanie only completed 3 of 7 passes for 32 yards but he also carried the ball 1 time and it went for a 4 yard TD.  Nathan Enderle finished up the game at QB by completing 7 of 10 passes for 110 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 INT.  The Bears’ QBs were under heat all night long as they were sacked a combined 9 times by the Bills!  RB Kahlil Bell led the way on the ground for the Bills last night with 73 yards rushing on 13 carries (5.6 ypc).  He also caught 2 passes for 46 yards (23.0 avg) last night.  Marion Barber looked solid in his debut for the Bears with 45 yards rushing on 7 carries (6.4 ypc) last night.  WR Kris Adams led the way for the Bears in the passing game last night with 3 grabs for 58 yards (19.3 avg).  The Bears finished up with 164 yards rushing on 35 carries (4.7 ypc) and they also completed 11 of 18 passes (61.1%) for 94 yards.

The defense was amazing for the Bears last night.  Safety Major Wright (5 tackles), CB Corey Graham (4 tackles) and LB Dom DeCicco (4 tackles) led the way for the Bears’ D last night.  DT Amobi Okoye made a good first impression with the Bills with 3 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks and 2 QB hits.  CB Michael Holmes pitched in with a interception last night.  The Bills finished up with 89 yards rushing on 23 carries (3.9 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 32 passes (50%) for 101 yards.

The Bears really laid an egg in Cleveland last night losing on the last play of the game when Phil Dawson hit a 36-yard field goal.  Todd Collins got his first game action with the Bears last night and he looked good in completing 10 of 15 passes for 139 yards with 1 TD pass.  Rookie Dan LeFevour didn’t look good last night completing 4 of 9 passes for 44 yards.  Khalil Bell led the way on the ground for the Bears with 32 yards rushing on 12 carries (2.7 ypc).  Chester Taylor pitched in last night with 23 yards rushing on 4 carries (5.8 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 12 yards.  WR Rashied Davis (3 rec, 65 yards) and TE Greg Olsen (1 rec, 15 yards, TD) led the way in the passing game last night.  The Bears finished up with 58 yards rushing (2.6 ypc) and 168 yards passing in this game. 

Defensively the Bears were led by LB Kevin Malast who had 12 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 sack, 1 QB hit and a fumble recovery that set up the Bears’ TD.  DE Henry Melton (7 tackles), LB Brian Iwuh (7 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss) and LB Tim Shaw (7 tackles) also pitched on on D last night.  The Browns finished up with 122 yards rushing (3.7 ypc) and 208 yards passing in this game.  The Bears finished a perfectly awul 0-4 on the pre-season.

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.

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.
