Bears Mid-Week Hits

After coming off a heartbreaking last minute loss against the Atlanta Falcons last week, the Bears are preparing to face a resurging Minnesota Vikings squad.  Hopefully being back home will be beneficial for the Bears, who have to be disappointed with how Sunday turned out.

- The Bears secondary is going to have to bounce back from their troubled game.  Allowing the Matt Ryan pass with 11 seconds left is just unacceptable.

- Last year’s receiving leader on the Bears Bernard Berrian makes his return to Chicago this Sunday, one has no doubt the Bears will give him a ‘loud’ welcome back.

- As of Wednesday, the Bears are a hobbling team with key players such as Marty Booker, Brandon Lloyd (still), Nathan Vasher, Nick Roach, Rashied Davis, Charles Tillman all having limited practice or none at all.

- If Booker, Lloyd, and Davis can’t play Sunday, QB Kyle Orton won’t have many viable options to throw to except Devin Hester, who is starting to improve with each passing week.

- Rookie phenom Matt Forte also didn’t practice Wednesday, not due to injury, rather Coach Lovie Smith gave him the day off; well deserved I say.

- Note to Bears….no more squib kicks. Thank you.

See you all Friday!

-Will
