....where Thursday night could get ugly.

Could a different mindset help the defense?

The Bears are confident they can still save the season.

Mike Singletary is set to face the Bears for the first time as HC.

Mark Potash: How about Ron Rivera for HC of the Bears? Shut up, Mark, and stop being a meatball.

Lovie is accepting blame.

Vernon Davis is talkin smack about the defense. And he's absolutely right - I'm starting him on my fantasy team over Olsen.

I'm heading into Chicago on Thursday afternoon for a conference. I'm staying at the Silversmith Hotel, but who wants to watch the game in a hotel room?

Help me out and direct me to your favorite place to watch the game. I figured I may as well go out and watch it with fellow Bears fans.

We have some injury news for y'all:

- Garrett Wolfe is hospitalized with a lacerated kidney. He'll be fine, but unfortunately, he's out two to four weeks. 

- Al Afalava re-injured the shoulder he injured during training camp. He's getting an MRI today.

- Charles Tillman also re-injured the shoulder that he's had two surgeries on in four years. However, he has been cleared for the 49ers game.

We'll continue updating this throughout the day. Make sure to let us know of any updates!

UPDATE:  In his press conference today, Lovie Smith said that Tillman would be good to go this week, but was pretty vague about Kevin Payne (back) and Al Afalava (shoulder).  With Lovie not saying much now, it is likely that we won't know anything until Wednesday or Thursday.

UPDATE:  Al Afalava's injury is not as serious as first reported, and we'll find out if he'll play tomorrow.

I returned from northern Minnesota today after an unsuccessful deer opener, and I got to my girlfriend's house around 12.30. I was checking on the game through my iPhone and texts from friends. I went inside and realized that the Bears weren't playing on any of the Minneapolis Fox affiliates. In all honesty, I think that was good. I talked with my mom and my dad to see what had happened. They both said was that Olsen and Hester were ok, Cutler did pretty well, but the OL and DL were awful. Judging from what's going on here, I'd have to say that their assessment was pretty solid.

First, I'm going to talk about Tommie Harris, a thought on Lovie Smith, and finish up with the quotes. Follow me inside.
