Bears expected to sign Josh McCown. Season effectively over for Chicago.

The Bears deserved to lose with those 4 turnovers, missed field goal, and all of those dropped passes. This doesn't take anything away from the Texans though. They came into Soldier Field, played hard, and got the job done one way or another. 

yep.... Bears should have won that game. The weather and Houston D clearly put it away. Offense simply couldn't get past that combo even though Bear D kept them in the game.


The weather should have been a huge advantage for the Bears.

Rams kept getting screwed over by the refs. "Screwed over" isn't quite the right word, since they technically DID commit the penalties that negated such beauties as an 80 yard completion and a successful 53 yard FG. Also, the refs were incompetent enough to realize that they needed to add 1:20 or so to the clock in the first half, and then never bother to notice that the time was never actually added on.

It's the only tie I've ever seen, and it was...something.

 

Overall, this week left a sour taste in my mouth. Three starting QBs go out with concussions, a fairly crappy record for me, and the Chiefs are playing tonight. Hopefully at least Smith and Cutler come back by next week, or the hyped MNF matchup won't be anywhere near as fun.

I've never seen a tie, but I saw CAR@STL go into a second period of overtime in the year when the Panthers reached the Super Bowl.

The Bears are going to lose in Week 11 and with a win in Detroit, the Packers will sit on top of the NFC North. Booyah!

I think the Bears can easily win in San Francisco especially since the Rams almost won there this week.

Is this for real?

The Josh McCown part? Yes. The season over part? HELLS YEAH HAHA SUCK IT SUPERCHUNK!

It's probably just a precaution, in case Cutler's not back in time for Monday's game. I don't see anything to indicate that Cutler isn't expected to return, possibly by next week.

I know, think, hope, and pray that the Lions beat the Packers next week and that the bears beat the 49ers.

Just keeping it real here bros.

Didn't the Bears hire McCown last year after Hanie wasn't up to the task? Why didn't they sign him permanently, if they aren't happy with their current #2 QB?

The Bears prefer Campbell to McCown, just like any sane and rational person would, but the Bears chose to have only two quarterbacks on their roster at the start of the season (Cutler and Campbell), so if Cutler can't play on Monday they would effectively have no backup. I know they signed some rookie who's on their practice squad, but I'm guessing they don't have enough faith in him to carry on if Campbell also goes down.

As for why they didn't just keep McCown, I suspect it's a combination of wanting to use that roster spot on somebody else, and simply not wanting to guarantee him a veteran salary for an entire season (which they'd have to do if he was on the roster for Week One).

I see, that makes sense.

Regardless of who starts in Week 11, the Bears are going to lose. Therefore all this doesn't matter much.

True true. But having McCown out there would turn it from a loss to a farce. So I'm rooting for that.

Ugh... this is what I was fearing. Cutler too hurt to really continue at a point when the season really needs it all in place.... man I hope two seasons looking good in a row are not devastated by key injuries.

You sure about that the 49ers looked very beatable this week plus the Bears defense already won multiple games for them so far this season.
