Bear Down
Two pre season games in the bag and what else can you say! I give the Chicago Bears credit they took it to a New York Giants team that is not far itself from returning to another Super Bowl. The offense was crisp the defense looked like a unit on the same page and Matt Forte was looking really good behind some good blocking by an offensive line that may be overlooked this year. All in all you got to give the Bears and the staff an “A” for a outstanding performance after a very dismal performance in the first game.
Now we look for consistency from the Chicago Bears and is this team going to be just as pumped going into Denver next week? You know Jay Cutler will be after some remarks about Denver fans was released to the public and now the fans of Denver will be giving this ex quarterback all he can hear in the Mile High City. However another quarterback will be looking to give the Bears a taste of their own medicine as Kyle Orton will be fiercely competing to show his old teammates and coaches that Orton is a everyday quarterback in the NFL.
Even though things are looking good I must remind all Bears fans that this team has historically looked great one week and like real threats to the NFC then, the next week they are good as a win less Detroit team from a year ago. Consistency has got to be this team overall goal this preseason and main goal this year. Of course that is easier said than done as the NFL is not like a pee wee football organization where you have two good teams and the rest are mediocre at best but in reality the NFL is full of great teams ready to make their mark this year. If the Bears want to win the NFC North and compete as top contenders in the NFC consistency on all sides of the ball is a must have as each side does have its weaknesses with new additions and unproven talent. This Bears team does not have a lot of room to be making game changing mistakes.
Overall the Bears are making strides but it is Pre Season and opponents to the Bears are not exactly showing them full attention as far as game planing and execution. Of course teams like the New York Giants want to play better than Saturday night but it meant nothing in the long run. The Chicago Bears still should be working extremely hard this week and if they thought that this week was what to expect this year then that is no the right mentality. It is still a week to week game which shows teams that sure you can be awesome one week but if you believe that is going to happen every week then you better get ready for a long season. The real great teams are the ones that treat every game uniquely different and never let up an inch to become better. You don’t want to be this bear this week or any week for that matter.
