Noots’ Notes-Game 13: 23-10 Win over Jacksonville By Michael Nudo The Bears treated their fans to a 23-10 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars at a frigid (wind chills in the low single digits) Soldier Field on Sunday. The Bears made just enough plays in every aspect of a hard fought team victory to improve their record to 7-6 in the NFC North. They’re one game behind Minnesota, who eked out a 20-16 victory over winless Detroit. Coming through in the clutch (AP Photo/David Banks). OFFENSE Quarterback Kyle Orton (20-34-219, 2 TD, INT) bounced back from his worst game of the season with a solid performance. He drilled a 3-yard touchdown pass t…

Noots’ Notes-Game 14: 27-24 Win over New Orleans in OT By Michael Nudo The Bears (8-6) got out to a 21-7 halftime lead on the strength of Danieal Manning’s 83-yard opening kickoff return for a touchdown. There were few style points in the victory, as they frittered away the lead in the second half, and needed to kick a field goal to tie and eventually win in overtime. Moving forward to stay in the playoff hunt (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert). OFFENSE Quarterback Kyle Orton (24-40-172, 2 INT, 4/6, TD, Fumble) didn’t have a particularly good game, but did just enough when needed to lead the team to the win. One of his interceptions was thrown directly…

Noots’ Notes-Game 15: 20-17 Win over Green Bay in OT By Michael Nudo The Bears (9-6) used smoke, mirrors and a little bit of luck to fight their way back from a 14-3 halftime deficit and beat Green Bay (5-10) 20-17 in overtime in front of a frozen Soldier Field crowd. With temperatures hovering around zero, the Chicago faithful were treated to a real nail-biter to keep playoff hopes alive and to avenge an embarrassing 37-3 loss in Green Bay just over a month ago. It took Brown’s block to send it to overtime (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh). OFFENSE Quarterback Kyle Orton (14-27-142, TD, 2 INT) had a poor game. He was inaccurate throughout the contest, m…

Noots’ Notes-Game 16: 31-24 Loss at Houston By Michael Nudo The Bears (9-7) saw their playoff hopes go down the drain as the Houston Texans (8-8) exposed the weaknesses in the Bears’ defense 31-24. The pivotal sequence was a blown coverage by Danieal Manning for a touchdown followed by Manning’s fumble of the ensuing kickoff. The Bears were unable to cling to an early 10-0 lead. The Texans wanted it more than the Bears (AP Photo/Dave Einsel). OFFENSE Quarterback Kyle Orton (22-37-244, 2 TD, 2/2, TD) finished the season on a positive note. This wasn’t by any means a great performance but it was pretty good, and had few mistakes. Most importan…

Noots’ Notes-Game Two: 20-17 Loss at CarolinaBy Michael Nudo The Bears fell to 1-1 after blowing a 17-3 third quarter lead at Carolina on Sunday. The Panthers used an opportunistic defense and the hard running of Jonathan Stewart to get the job done. They let this one slip away (AP Photo/Chuck Burton). OFFENSE QuarterbackKyle Orton’s performance (19-32-149) reflected the overall Bears effort. He got off to an accurate and efficient start hitting on nine of his first thirteen passes in the first half. Orton found Brandon Lloyd for 32 yards while backed up inside his own ten yard-line. He hit Desmond Clark for 15 yards on a 2nd and long. Orton near…
