It may tough to watch considering the Bears were one game away from the Super Bowl, but hang in there and watch Caleb Hanie’s performance. If any of you are afraid Hanie won’t be able to help the Bears get to the playoffs this season, you may just be nervous.Hanie shows why he is an NFL quarterback in perhaps the biggest game of his life. The mistakes are going to happen. The guy didn’t take a snap with the first-team basically all season. Its too bad they wasted almost an entire quarter with Todd Collins under center.
