Time to close the book on the team's seventh season.

[Arky]

Time to give the Bear the thrashing they so richly deserve.

[Arky]

Bears kick off. AD brings it out to the 28.

3rd and 8 coming up.

Dunta looked a bit lost covering Lloyd on that TD. The Bears moved pretty easily on this D... is Richard Smith coaching for his job?

Obviously the Texans didn't come to play today. Again for the second week
in a row. Looks like they are finishing the year the way they started it.
Great job there Kubiak about getting your team ready, apparently McNair told
you you're job will be there for you in 2009 ?
