Inside the Bears:
Hunter Hillenmeyer looked the part. The linebacker stood in the middle of the Bears' defense pointing and shouting and looking very much like a man in charge. He may not have played the leading man in the defense as spectacularly as Brian Urlacher often has during his decade with the Bears, but he played it capably, and that was enough on a rain-soaked afternoon saturated with urgency usually reserved for December.

The Bears are getting great play from defensive ends Adewale Ogunleye and Alex Brown, which they must continue to get in order to pick up the slack left by the season-ending wrist injury to Brian Urlacher.
Ogunleye had 2 sacks in the season opener, and Brown had 2 against the Steelers.
The problem is the Bears are getting next to nothing from defensive tackle Tommie Harris, who...

I was nervous yesterday. As nervous as I've been during a Bears football game in an awful long time. While I paced ferociously around the pool table at Josie Wood's, surrounded by twenty or so friends, Jay Cutler showed no signs of nervousness. Knowing he was coming off the worst performance of his football-playing career, he was calm. In front of...

With Desmond Clark out of the lineup Sunday, the Chicago Bears asked Kellen Davis to step up and get the job done. The young tight end responded, reeling in five balls and scoring the first TD of his NFL career. After a slow start a season ago, Davis looks like a keeper for down the road.

So it was an ugly win, but I will take it.
First off, "Good as Gould" is the greatest clutch kicker in Chicago Bears history. The man is money... Takes notes Jeff Reed.
Second, whatever was up with Soldier Field, either they need to fix the turf or the Bears should have been wearing longer cleats because people were slipping and sliding as if they were on an ice rink.
Third, THAT...

Observations on the Bears-Steelers game
Alex Brown introduced Ben Roethisberger to the freshest sod on Chicago's lakefront Sunday afternoon. Twice for sacks, but more importantly when he knocked Big Ben down in mid-throw early in the second quarter, serving up Charles Tillman with an interception. That was the play that changed the tone of a first half, that had the Steelers...

Thanks to Aaron for bringing this to my attention; Adam Schefter is reporting that Hasselbeck has a fractured rib:
It is not clear whether the injury will sideline Hasselbeck for Seattle's Week 3 game against the Chicago Bears, but the Seahawks are encouraged that the injury was not more severe, the source said.

They lined up to take blame after the Steelers' 17-14 loss to the Chicago Bears Sunday. Jeff Reed, obviously. Hines Ward, who said the offense left too many plays on Soldier Field.
