Four NBA teams remain in the running for the title, and the never-say-die Bulls are not one of them because, well, they died.
Now, unless there is an unforeseen performance from Webb, Williams or a scrapheap left tackle that doesn't appear to actually exist, chances seem slim that the Bears' 26-year championship drought will end this fall.
The Bears announced Thursday that they officially released offensive lineman Frank Omiyale and defensive tackle Anthony Adams.
Left guard Chris Williams was placed on injured reserve Monday and will miss the rest of the season after having wrist surgery Sunday night.
Lovie Smith does appear to have his own supply of paper towels, though, that he's been able to pull out of the supply closet, to unroll as needed to mop up the pessimism (and who would engage in that, dare I ask?) and keep his team from slipping into the abyss.
It doesn't get categorized as "pretty" but 2-2 looks much better a quarter of the way through the regular season than 1-3 would. The running game was much improved compared to the last two weeks, but there were still plenty of weak spots on both sides of the ball where the Bears need to improve.
After Lovie Smith and Mike Martz said all week that the Bears would be more balanced against the Packers, Cutler threw the ball 37 times and running back Matt Forte had just nine carries.
Bears general manager Jerry Angelo thinks the Bears did everything they could to improve the offensive line in the off-season.
It's not the worst news for rookie right tackle Gabe Carimi, but it's not good news. Carimi reportedly has a dislocated right knee.
After a 30-13 defeat at the hands of the New Orleans Saints, the Bears now sit at 1-1 before the Week 3 showdown at Soldier Field with Green Bay.
Laurence Holmes has a complete recap of the first day of Bears training camp in Bourbonnais.
The Bears are finally giving Jay Cutler some protection after changing up the rotation several times due to player performance and injuries. They finally have the right mix.
Time is everything, especially when you're a quarterback in a Mike Martz offense. The more time Cutler has had to throw the ball the better the results have been and the more his confidence has grown.
