I wouldn't say barely. Also, when the Bears play the Packers it will be the exact opposite of a high scoring game. The Bears vs Packers is always a defensive dog fight.
Cutler makes mistakes, but the Bears are still a great team. We've come a long way from a team that throws 6 picks and gets sacked 9 times.
They started this season playing poorly, they had no offensive line to offer Cutler ANY type of protection and more importantly, any kind of running game. So, yes they lost to teams like the Seahawks, (by 3) playing absolutely horrendous, (6 sacks, 0-12 on 3rd down conversions) football.
Today, at one point they were completely shutting them out 28-0. Unfortunately, the Bears have a bad habit of playing sloppy when they're ahead by a large margin. They gave the ball to our RB Forte to throw the ball which of course got intercepted.
Then the defense just basically celebrated early with sloppy play leaving receivers wide open for Hasselbeck to hit in the 4th quarter.
The Bears beat a lot of good teams this season and are perfectly capable of making it to the super bowl.
They beat the Eagles off a big winning streak, then beat the Jets who were coming off a Steelers win, then after losing to us went on to beat the Colts and now Patriots. It was no easy win either, it was an offensive battle till the last minute against a team that made a complete turnaround.
The Bears have beaten the Packers during this season, and in the last game of the season we already had a 2nd seed spot regardless of the outcome. Even with nothing to play for and the Packers having everything to play for we shutdown Rodgers in company to just 10 points on the road.
Next week, at home, the Bears have a real shot at taking out the Packers. Either way, it's going to be an epic game.
