Bears Falling Fast In NFL Power Rankings

Posted on November 10, 2009 by Jake Perper
Bears vs. Cardinals

Jay Cutler and the Bears have fallen. Can they get up?

Here are the week ten Bears power rankings from various sites around the web:

ESPN: #19 (Last week: 17)

Analysis, ”This team appears to be ready to fade.”

Yahoo Sports: #20 (Last week: 16)

Analysis, “Greg Olsen (notes)  finally been unleashed, or was that offensive outburst against the Cardinals reserved for blowout situations?”

Pro Football Weekly: #18 (Last week: 17)

Analysis, “Tommie Harris might have sealed his fate with that right hook.”

CBS Sports: #19 (Last week: 17)

Analysis, “Remember when the Chicago Bears meant defense and nasty football? Now they can’t stop anybody. There is nothing black and blue about the way they play now. It’s just blue.”

Fox Sports: #19 (Last week: 16)

Analysis, “FIRST-HALF BLESSING: Like him or not, you can’t blame Jay Cutler too much for the Bears slipping back to .500. The dude’s still putting up big numbers. FIRST-HALF CURSE: The addition of Cutler has seemingly cursed second-year RB Matt Forte instead of opening room for bigger ground action, as the coaches scurry for second-half answers to the missing running game.”
