Here are the Week 14 Bears power rankings from various sites around the web:

Site This Week/Last Week Analysis
ESPN 17 (12) Lovie Smith wants to stand pat with Caleb Hanie and Josh McCown at QB. Suddenly, the Bears’ playoff run is being intercepted.
NFL.com 17 (10) Matt Forte’s injury drops this club considerably. It’s not often that a first-half Hail Mary wins a game, but it happened Sunday at Soldier Field. It gave the Chiefs just enough offense to play it safe. Meanwhile, the Caleb Hanie-led attack did nothing for Chicago, especially without the queen on the chessboard in Forte. Hanie’s line? 11-of-24 passing, 133 yards and three interceptions. Ugh.
Fox Sports 17 (12) I am not sure if the Bears can overcome the loss of both QB Jay Cutler and now RB Matt Forte. Putting up only three points against the Chiefs isn’t a good sign of what’s to come for the Bears. They are getting the Broncos and Seahawks over the next two weeks, and both of them are playing their best football of the year. I’m not sure the Bears are going to be able to keep it together down the stretch to secure a playoff spot.
CBS Sports 15 (12) Caleb Hanie isn’t the answer and now they will have to try and make a playoff push without Matt Forte. Good luck.
Pro Football Weekly 17 (13) Cutler had ended the Chicago QB jokes. They’ve returned with Hanie.
Pro Football Talk 17 (10) In explaining the decision to not sign another quarterback, Lovie Smith said Caleb Hanie will get better.  Hanie surely can’t get much worse.
WEEI.com 16 (11) The Bears are seeing their once promising season skyrocket out of control. The last three weeks have been a nightmare for Bears fans. Cutler and Forte are both out and it’s very likely they will miss the rest of the regular season. Caleb Hanie has been no TJ Yates filling in for Jay Cutler. Hanie has thrown three picks in each of the two games he’s started. The Bears should seriously consider adding Donovan McNabb. Maybe he can help the Bears stagger into the playoffs in time for Cutler to return.
