For all intents and purposes, the 2011 season basically ended for the Chicago Bears when QB Jay Cutler got hurt. However, despite missing the playoffs for the fourth time in five years, they did have some solid performances.
When Cutler went down, the Bears were 7-3 and seemingly on their way to a Wild Card berth. From that point on, they went a dismal 1-5 to finish the season at 8-8.
While the team’s lack of depth at QB showed, they also had holes on the offensive line, at safety and at the wide receiver position, among other problems.
Meanwhile, as the kids get ready to return to school following Christmas break, let’s get out our No. 2 pencils and mark down the grades for the Bears for the 2011 season.
