It’s the first game for the Chicago Bears in the post-Jay Cutler era, so it will be huge to see if they can not only keep the winning streak alive but if Caleb Hanie can be a legitimate QB in the league.
The Bears and Raiders have some things in common. They both are in position to make the playoffs and have lost their starting QBs to injury.
But for the Raiders, the loss of Jason Campbell has been mitigated quite well with the acquisition of Carson Palmer.
Meanwhile, the Bears will be using a QB in Caleb Hanie who has never started an NFL game.
Obviously, when looking at matchups, it is hard to judge a QB who has never started an NFL game. All we really remember is when Hanie came in to relieve Cutler in the NFC Championship Game.
Hanie did all right, though he did throw two interceptions, including a pick-six.
Meanwhile, we need to examine the outcome of this game from the standpoint of who will win the individual position battles.
It’s with that goal in mind that I present to you my latest Bears article.
