With the Bears arriving from of a hard loss to the Green Bay Packers this past weekend, the Chicago team is looking to the long run.



Despite the 21-14 loss over their archrivals from Wisconsin, the Bears are looking to lock in Lovie Smith as head coach and continue his contract, in addition to much of his staff.

Smith has a record of 63-49 as the head of the Chicago Bears. The most impressive truth of this year for the Bears is the minimal — nearly nonexistant — anticipations that were held for the team at the beginning of the nfl year. A lot of predicted the team would not even make it to the playoffs in 2011. Some famous forecasts even called for the Chicago football team ending the year with a record of 1-15, or every bit as abysmal numbers. Jay Cutler reduced his interceptions from 26 in 2009 to 16 this year. He additionally improved his passer rating from 76.8 to 86.3, which was even much better than the 86.0 he posted in 2008 in his final year in Denver when he established a Broncos record by passing for 4,526 yards. There were a number of other positive developments: Cutler made performs with his feet-he rushed for a career-high 232 yards-Matt Forte were great as a runner and receiver-Greg Olsen blossomed into a complete tight end, Johnny Knox nearly topped 1,000 yards receiving and the line exhibited noticeable progress throughout the second half of the year.

The Bears defense carried the team throughout the year, focusing on All-Pro defensive end Julius Peppers. Linebacker Brian Urlacher additionally contributed to the Bears defense, making the team pretty effective at shutting down enemy football squads. This defense carried the team through the regular season, playoffs, and to within one game of the 2011 Super Bowl.

This would have been the 1st time since 2007 that the Bears had shown up at the Super Bowl. In 2007, the Bears were crushed in Super Bowl XLI by Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis colts, whose head coach was Tony Dungy. This was the 1st year that any African-American head coach had made it to the Super Bowl, and both squads had African American head coaches.

So what’s next for the Bears? Following overcoming all anticipations in 2010-2011, the plan is certainly to keep Lovie Smith in his position as head coach and make an effort to build upon this years successes. Because the Bears are the Bears, they could be chronically underranked in preseason football odds. But as this newest year has shown, even the underappreciated Chicago team could have a handful of surprises for everybody in the years ahead.
