W9vsBUF: Who's bad?

   No big surprises in this game, the Bears pulled the easy win against the Bills who have shown little to no offense this year, their defense tried the best they could but there was little they could do once the Bears made two defensive touchdowns out of the four total takeaways made. Kyle Fuller had a great game and was involved on three of the turnovers made getting a well fought interception of his own. Bears offense was slow and at one point it didn't matter, they failed to score touchdowns on the other two turnovers created by their defense but did manage to score 27 points with some good plays from the special teams to give them good field position. Mitch Trubisky had an average performance throwing for one touchdown and one bad interception floating one deep where it seemed there was some miscommunication with Trey Burton, this play didn't affect the score but one that did was another dumb personal foul on Aaron lynch for an inappropriate celebration that kept the Bills drive alive and ended in their only touchdown. Against tough opponents these penalties will be very costly, honestly the Bears where playing very clean football the first 6 games and on this one they committed 14 penalties in total, many by the offensive line, this cant happen again especially when playing at home.

   The Bears have reached the mid point of the season on first place in their division, they could have ended with a better record but also could have been worse, let the Packers game slip away, they beat a rather lost Seahawks unit that right now seems to have found their way again, struggled against a bad Cardinals team, kept the win streak going by beating a hot Bucs team, fell to a solid but basic Dolphins team, then fell a yard short to force overtime losing to the almighty Patriots, so any given Sunday right? Unfortunately I didn't evaluate the schedule very well as I thought the first half was the though part, now looking at things as they are, the second half is though enough and more important than the first half as they have five division games left, a struggling Giants team, a resurfacing 49ers team and the conference leading Rams. For the Bears to get to January they have to win at least 5 maybe 4 but only if these are against the divisional teams. The next three games, two against the Lions and the other against the Vikings, could determine if they can get to the post season. Just getting there, even as a wild card, would speak volumes on the direction the team is going especially the coaching side of the team. But first things first, the Lions travel with several injured key players unlike the Bears that are getting back some of their star players back, they have to take advantage of this but staying focus on Matthew Stafford, he can get it done if he gets the chance.
