The Bears lost to the New England Patriots 36-7 on Sunday afternoon, in a snowy and cold day. It was the Bears' first loss since October, and while they were able to keep their first place lead, the loss might also serve as a wake up call.
The Bears' offensive line was taking a great deal of criticism in the early part of the season. They gave up an NFL-record number of sacks in the first half against the Giants, but have slowly improved.
The Bears are who they are. They trust their schemes and rely on their players to make plays. And when that combination works, the wins pile up.
At the end of last season, many thought that Paul Konerko had played his last game in a Chicago White Sox uniform. Among these people was Konerko's teammate, Gordon Beckham.

The Chicago White Sox have re-signed Paul Konerko. Other reports indicate that the deal is for three-years and round $37 million.

Jay Cutler and the rest of the offense has been playing much better since the bye week. According to former Bears' quarterback Jim Miller, Cutler has been near perfect over the last two weeks.
The White Sox may have landed one of the biggest offensive players in the free-agent market. And according to Steve Stone, Adam Dunn has the ability to carry a team.
It's amazing what a few wins will do for a coach in the NFL. Before the season started there were some people who were counting down the days until Lovie was fired. Now, however, he might be making an argument for NFL Coach of the Year.
Preparing for Michael Vick will more than likely be on the minds of the Bears players and coaches the entire week. The great debate is whether or not to spy Vick with Brian Urlacher. Moon Mullin, for one, doesn't want to see a spy.
So far this season, in an effort to slow down Michael Vick, teams haven't turned to a linebacker spy. A large part of that is because no team in the league has a linebacker athletic enough to keep up with him, but the Bears might have just the man for the job.
Michael Vick has been one of the most dynamic players in the NFL this season. But according to Boomer Esiason, the Bears' defense has what it takes to shut him down.
The coaching staff has received plenty of criticism over the last few seasons. However, over the course of the last three games the coaches have put the team in position win.

It was obvious that the Bears focused more on the running game when preparing for the Buffalo Bills. However, that focus may not be sustained for the rest of the season.
When the Bears traded for Jay Cutler he came to Chicago with expectations of being a great NFL quarterback. While he hasn't reached that level yet, Jim Miller thinks it's not only within his reach to be great, but also this Bears team.
The Bills have the worst record in the NFL, 0-7, and if they Bears don't want to give them their first win, they'll have put them down early.
The offensive line, so far this season, has been a revolving door. Players are replaced, or change positions due to injuries or ineffectiveness. And through all this turnover, the biggest issue has been their lack of protection. However, they don't seem to be getting much help.
It's no secret that there are many problems that need to be fixed on the Bears offense. However, Jim Miller feels that Cutler's problems specifically, can be fixed on the practice field.
