Week 8: After back to back wins the Bears suffered there first defeat of the season and boy did it take a toll on the guys. One guy inpiticular in Jay Cutler who went 11 of 22 for 190 YDs 1 TD and 5 INTs in his worst outting in his young NFL career. We couldnt get a post game interview with him but we did get a few comments out of him though. “It’s tough,” Cutler said. “I think probably the city of Chicago is disappointed. I’m disappointed. Ninety people in that locker room are disappointed; coaches and players. So it’s tough. But we’ve got 13 more games to play. There’s a lot of football left. After a score less 1st quarter both teams scored in the 2nd. With the Browns up 10-7 with 50 Seconds left in the half they kicked to Hester who just missed takeing it back an was tackeled at Chicago's 45 yard line. Hester would later end up with 234 KR yards for the game, he also is (League Leading with 444 Total KR YDs). With 13 Seconds left Hester beat Pool but was over thrown by Cutler. " If that plays made we go in at half leading, an that sets a whole different tempo for the game," Hester said. They came out in the 3rd kicking cause they lost the toss and Cleveland would score on a screen to Cribbs on his only play of the game a 70 YD Touch Down catch. To go up 17-7 then 4 plays later another Cutler pick would pretty much end the game.
Bottom Line: You cant win a game with 5 turnovers but, Even though it was bad wait i mean awfull game for the Bears you have to take the positives from it. Greg Olsen had another great game making it his second in a row catching 5 balls for 135 YDS and a Touch Down to make him the League Leader in Touch Downs and 3rd in YDs. Also Zack Bowman had a great game getting a Pick 6 in his first NFL Interception. " It was great to get the first one lets just hope thats one of many," Bowman said. Urlacher also had his 2nd FF of the year and is now tied for 1st in that respected catagorey.
Post Game Interviews: Heres what Lovie Smith had to Say about the loss. “It’s pretty simple what happened tonight,” said coach Lovie Smith. “Any time you have five turnovers, you’re normally not going to win the football game, especially against a good Browns team.” Then said
“He (Cutler) was trying to make plays,” Smith said. “Sometimes when you get off to a tough start and you have a couple bad plays, you want to make amends for it a little bit," Smith said. “We needed to make plays throughout, but we have to protect the ball better than that, there’s no way around it. We’re not set up that way. No team is set up that way. Jay will play better next time out.”
So with that said the Bears will come back out next Sunday and try to recorrect what happened in Cleveland.
Final From Cleveland: Chicago Bears 13 Cleveland Browns 30
