People are starting to change their opinion on the Bears, who are now 8-3 and sit atop the NFC North all by themselves after beating the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday.
The month of November was a VERY good month to the Chicago Bears. The 31-26 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday at Soldier Field capped off an undefeated (4-0) month for Chicago.
Leading up to the Bears-Eagles game, all the talk was surrounding Michael Vick and the Eagles' offense. The Bears defense knew it would be a challenge and the players rose to the occasion.
Coming out of the bye week, the Bears' focus was on improving each week. In the four games since they have done just that, and picked up a win each week.
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.
Julius Peppers was the biggest free agent target of the off-season. The book on Peppers, in Carolina, was that he took plays off, so far here in Chicago that couldn't be farther from the truth.
The Bears have invested a lot in Jay Cutler, both monetarily and in terms of what it took to get him. Because of that big investment it was important to get the right coach for him.
This was by far the best Bears' win this season. It was also Jay Cutler's best game as a Chicago Bear, and not just because of the stats.
Sunday couldn't have gone much better for the Chicago Bears. With their win and the the Packers' loss to the Atlanta Falcons, the Bears have a full game lead in the division with five games remaining.
