Minus quarterback Jay Cutler in addition to running to come back Matt Forte , the Bears accepted their safety needed to boost and bring them. Lovie Smith 's protection designed far too handful of plays, in addition to profession prospective client Caleb Hanie .
The 38-14 beatdown by this Seahawks on Sunday with Soldier Field appropriately ended this Bears' season, which shortly past viewed hence promising.
The Bears feasted about other teams' backup quarterbacks previous period every time they explained that will a great NFC North crown. They've tested inefficient along with their very own as they have become 0-4 with Hanie, who had yet another terrible voyage prior to mercifully getting benched, conceivably for good.
The Bears (7-7) possess missing four straight games, tying to the at best losing streak while in the Lovie Smith era. The crushing control emerged on the particular pumps involving a nightmarish week, having large recipient Sam Hurd staying in jail Wednesday nights right after taking a kilogram connected with cocaine from an undercover government agent, based on a new offender complaint. It didn't improve as broad receiver Johnny Knox will certainly experience returning surgical treatment Monday to stabilize a vertebra following some sort of harmful make from Seahawks protecting finish Anthony Hargrove .
Hanie done 10 of 23 moves to get 111 yards which includes a first-half 25-yard touchdown that will Kahlil Bell , but the adventure unraveled immediately after intermission when they experienced a pair of interceptions delivered intended for touchdowns. It seemed to be thus ugly in the actual last 1 / 4 a Bears employee in the touch box requested this television set to be turned on the Packers game, knowning that was ahead of returned an interception 42 back yards into the ending zone with personal trainer moments remaining.
"They completely self-destructed," Seahawks protection said.
Jackson shook away some sort of inadequate will complete nineteen of thirty-one moves regarding 227 back yards and also a touchdown, his 43-yard strike that will Ben Obomanu in the beginning of the lastly 1 / 4 environment upward your 3-yard Marshawn Lynch touchdown run this going the particular Seahawks (7-7) using a chain regarding 31 unanswered points. Jackson fumbled once, women and men Bears had five turnovers, such as an interception in the end area whenever Hanie underthrew restricted finish Kellen Davis on the seam route.
Hanie's begin around Oakland whenever he / she produced a few athletic plays, mainly past due demonstrated to get a new tease. Since, he has recently been a disaster inside the pants pocket and once the Seahawks penned your pet in, it absolutely was over. Hanie's 41.8 passer standing plus 0-4 file create him or her rather more serious compared to rotator associated with flunkies in the 2005 Terry Shea experience.
The Bears, which were 7-3 with Nov. thirty when Cutler was injured, decided not to offer any kind of excuses related in order to Hurd's stunning bust.
"It's hard heading appropriate now," Smith said. "But we have trend to the future."
It is likely to be time align their own area with free agent as well as draft. Even though the Bears have not mathematically also been taken out on the postseason hunt, in order to end their fall they've have got to win during Lambeau Field on Christmas night against a new Packers crew which will be fuming after its initial lack of the particular season.
The Bears were being on its way off of cuts on the Chiefs and Broncos in which the defense made possible not as much as 14 details on both equally occasions. It seemed to be only your fourth moment with franchise story this possessed happened inside back-to-back losses. A defensive who has absolutely no room with regard to malfunction offers recently been betrayed by way of a great the offense that is certainly impotent without Cutler as well as Forte. The Bears have scored a couple unpleasant touchdowns from the final 188 minutes, 37 seconds.
"When everyone stopper individuals in, oftentimes this mesh would not happen," Hanie said. "It hasn't happened for us. It's hard. It's a small confusing. It's difficult to work out."
Time features merely related to manage out, the other with the concerns inside final a couple months might be regardless of whether questionable coordinator Mike Martz , in whose deal is usually upwards once the following season, could be created a new slip guy. It's hard that will pin number Hanie's disappointments upon him. Remember, Martz wanted every experienced although Hanie 12 months ago.
The Bears will probably have a further difficulty once they allow this critical accidents along the particular grow to imprecise alternative flaws to the roster.
"This seriously isn't our team," Urlacher said. "This just isn't how we're designed to play. This is not how we ought to play. It won't issue who's going to be playing quarterback. Our defensive needs to play better. That's most of there would be to it."
