Why?

Avoided loss of yds and Forte was open

[Sarava]

This Bears team sure is all or nothing. Granted the Vikings probably aren't a very good team. But still.

The Vikes are trying there best to take marshall out of game (Good to see Bennett and others stepping up)

Bush will almost always get shot at those short yd plays + with Forte fumble earlier looks like Bush is getting more looks today

[Sarava]

Forte has been bad near the end zone his whole career. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that the Bears go with Bush.

Vikes are a solid team that needs a QB (I didn't think much of Ponder when drafted ,, He is getting worse IMO)

They did handle the 49ers (A team that destroyed Bears)

And are a playoff contender

So the play so far is positive for Bears as outside of Forte fumble and Gould block there hasn't been much bad

Infact Cutler was about as good as you want a QB in 1st half of return game from concussions

15/17
117 yds
1 TD

[Kemo Sabe]

Great half so far. But honestly let's give the damn ball to Forte. I'm losing some valuable fantasy points

[madgoat33]

this coaching staff just hates forte. 3rd straight year they sign a fa rb for decent money and let them suck all season long and still keep giving them the ball. then at the slightest forte mistake, he gets basically demoted for the game.

[RomersWorld]

And this same Vikings team beat the 49ers who made us look like the worst team in the NFL.

That is why it is so hard to predict what will happen week to week and what teams really are the "best".

It really is sucky that the Bears lost to the Texans, 49ers and Packers but really...why is that so much worse than losing to bad teams? The Texans game could've gone either way, especially if Cutler was in the 2nd half. Now if we lose to the Packers again and the Seahawks then it might mean something but I don't know.

I've thought all year they are phonies. And now their annual second half collapse has begun.

Forte again looks terrible

He is running into pile and not seeing holes

Bush has done job asked of him

He is change of pace/short yd specialist

Not sure why you think he sucks

[brtriad]

Not a great pass but a catchable ball.

[Blackhawkswincup]

Tillman out rest of game with ankle injury

[RomersWorld]

Good to see Bennett stepping up. He is capable of being that #2 receiver when he plays well. He'll have to with Hester and Jeffery out.

[MurrayBannerman]

All the loud people in my house are downstairs with a tv that's, for some reason, a play ahead of mine. Sigh...

[Blackhawkswincup]

Cutler picked and Louis hurt

Last year Matt Forte ran with a purpose. He was breaking tackles and you could just tell that he was in a contract year because he refused to go down until it was impossible to keep going. Especially when he would go 1 on 1 with the DBs and he'd win everytime but now he is going down with arm tackles it seems like.

[Kurtosis]

Wow that was an absolute cheap shot by Allen.

[RomersWorld]

Bears can't cover Rudolph. He has been open every single play and gain a ton of yards. Well they could cover him if they actually tried to cover him instead of letting him run all over the field with no one around him.

[Blackhawkswincup]

Vikes TD makes it 25-10

Bears need a TD here to reverse the momentum ,, Bears cant let Vikes get back into this

And what terrible defense on that drive ,, Someone cover Rudolph already

There is absolutely no excuse. It has been their only successful pass play the whole game and yet the Bears still give it to them.

Shovel passes when a DL has a hold of you are nothing but trouble. The upside is tiny compared to the downside.

[RomersWorld]

Forte got his money.... can't hold on to ball now...can't break tackles now...

oh and now he is injured too? great.
