Will the Bears make the playoffs?
It’s one hell of a long shot, they have to win every game remaining if they’re going to and that’s no small feat. Against Denver (and actually the last five games or so) the Bears have looked like a different team to the start of the season and really looked like they could win even when they didn’t. The Denver game was so exciting, ending in overtime after things were all-tied at 34-34 after regular play.
Highlights of the Denver vs. Chicago game.
With Benson now injured for the season I think the running game should improve now Wolfe and Peterson are carrying, Grossman will hopefully continue to play his good side out there (any failures attributed to him in the game against Denver were the fault of the Receiver’s and the Offensive Line failing to protect him, in my opinion), and Hester will probably continue to run through the opposing teams for the rest of the season like they don’t even exist. If I remember rightly last year it was when Hester was running in slop that he was able to really do a number on the opposing teams… Statistically the New York Giants are outplaying Chicago for the 2007 season, so this Sunday’s game could be a close game but if Chicago play like we all know they can (but have had trouble reaching) then they’ll win-out.
