Bears Bites: Cutler's tough, but the pressure's on

On this Columbus Day:The Bears discovered the Stafford, the Johnson and the Ndamukong Suh.And now:They're 3 games behind the undefeated Lions and Packers #8212; actually 4 if you count the tiebreakers.Ugh.Not so sure:After the game, Lovie Smith said the Bears are a better team than they showed Monday night.They better be or it's going to be a brutal three months.It's official:Worst. First. Quarter. Ever.Question:How tough is Jay Cutler?Let's ask Jon Gruden:#8220;Without Jay Cutler, this score is probably 42-0.#8221;The good news:At least there weren't too many penalties and the game had a nice, easy flow to it.Clearer picture:Now I understand why the Patriots released Brandon Meriweather.He's No. 1:That would be Megatron or Calvin Johnson or whatever you want to call the Lions' amazing receiver.He's not No. 1:Devin Hester.Not even close.Let us not speak ... :Of the Megatron juice segment at the start of the ESPN telecast ever again.Uh oh:Earlier this week, Bears linebacker Lance Briggs called this game a must win.They lost.So what does that mean?Can't be good.
