There were many mistakes in the Bears 25-20 loss to the Raiders on Sunday, but there is one play in particular that truly sticks out to one Bears expert.
With Jay Cutler out for at least the foreseeable future, the Bears have no choice but to trust an inexperienced Caleb Hanie.
No one knew what to expect from Caleb Hanie. Not you. Not me. Not even the Bears coaching staff.
On the heels of the Bears 25-20 loss to the Raiders, one Bears expert can't seem to figure out what exactly Mike Martz was doing Sunday.
First-time starter Caleb Hanie wasn't able to land his first victory as a starter, but Bears head coach Lovie Smith said there were positive things to build off.

Among the list of quarterbacks the Bears could bring in with Jay Cutler sidelined, Kyle Orton clearly tops that list.
While Lovie Smith said the Bears plan to bring in a veteran quarterback to backup Caleb Hanie, one NFL expert cautioned fans not to get too excited.
The Cutler injury is no death sentence for the Bears. If the injury had to occur, doing so when the Bears are 7-3 would be the most opportune time.

The Bears defense forced the Lions offense into six turnovers in Sunday's game alone -- something one Bears expert said was the key to the game.
It's been brewing since the Monday night game last month. In fact, the kindling for this fire was sparked with Calvin Johnson's non-catch in the opener last year. The Bears and Lions don't like each other and Sunday it boiled over.
Bears Coach Lovie Smith said Monday morning that the Detroit Lions' Matthew Stafford should have been ejected along with D.J. Moore during a rough play, but the real story is the Bears' strong playing that led to victory.
