The Chicago Bears defeated the Detroit Lions 37-23 last Sunday to finish up at 7-9. The win most likely saves head coach Lovie Smith's job. QB Jay Cutler threw for four TD's looking like the QB fans thought he would be. Devin Aramashado scored twice on passes. He should be a featured wide receiver, not Devin Hester. Hester is a valuable player and should be retured to his best position, running back kickoffs and punts.
Bears were leaky on defense this season, giving up huge yards in the passing game. It certainly wasn't the Bears defense of old, and this needs to change if the Bears want to be competitive. But the team did win its last two games, saving the season from sure disaster. Now, one could say the season was disappointing. And, Cutler's performances the last two games raises hopes among the Bears' faithful. He finally seemed to get the hang of it in the end. The Bears need a true power back, some good blockers, a few good linebackers, and at least two good defensive cornermen. Other than that, the team looks good. There will be some changes in the off-season, the question remains, who stays and who goes?
