Here are the week three Bears power rankings from various sites around the web:

ESPN: #12 (Last week: 22)

Analysis, “The Bears are one of several surprise 2-0 teams.”

Yahoo Sports: #12 (Last week: 17)

Analysis,“Think Brian Urlacher’s return to health makes a slight difference?”

Pro Football Weekly: #11 (Last week: #20)

Analysis, “Fixing pass protection in-game allowed Jay Cutler to shine.”

Pro Football Talk: #16 (Last week: 21)

Analysis,“Beat the Packers, and the Bears will move to the top 10.  Maybe the top five.”

CBS Sports: #8 (Last week: #20)

Analysis, “The Bears get their chance to really make a statement if they can beat the Packers. It’s a prime-time chance for Cutler to shut up even more critics.”

Fan House: #9 (Last week: 21)

Analysis, “Jay Cutler carved up the Dallas defense Sunday and looks more than comfortable in the Mike Martz offense. The offensive line deserves credit, too, because it was able to keep Cutler upright more effectively as the game wore on. No question the Bears can be very dangerous if they continue to play like this.”

USA Today: #11 (Last week: #20)

SI.com: #13 (Last week: #25)

Analysis, “Hail, hail the 2-0 Bears! It took a horrendous NFL rule and an imploding Cowboys team to help get Chicago to 2-0, but the Bears deserve credit for playing tough and smart in Dallas. And let’s all salute Jay Cutler for persevering through all kinds of heat from the Cowboys pass rush to post a second consecutive impressive showing. But Monday night’s home game against Green Bay should tell us if the Bears intend to stick around all season in the NFC North race.”

Fox Sports: #9 (Last week: #19)

Analysis, “The Martz-Cutler marriage is off to a good start. Martz is managing Cutler well with three-step drops. The strong-armed passer will face another 3-4 defense on Monday night against the Packers.”

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

ESPN: #22 (Last week: 21)

Analysis, “Catch or no catch, the Bears got a much-needed division win over Detroit.”

Pro Football Weekly: #20 (Last week: #18)

Analysis, “Loss to Lions would have hurt more than damning Forbes article.“

NFL.com: #22 (Last week: #27)

USAToday.com: #20 (Last week: #21)

Yahoo Sports: #17 (Last week: 22)

Analysis, “Hey, all you Jay Cutler(notes) body-language experts – did you notice him walking off dispassionately after his game-winning touchdown pass to Matt Forte(notes)? If so, why do I get the feeling you didn’t find it particularly bothersome?”

CBS Sports: #20 (Last week: 22)

Analysis, “They didn’t hold onto to the ball that well against the Lions, which has to be a concern. But Jay Cutler looked sharp in that opener, throwing for 372 yards and two touchdowns. That has to carry on.”

SI.com: #25 (Last week: 29)

Analysis, “The good news is that Matt Forte has his mojo back and Jay Cutler threw for 372 yards and a couple touchdowns in his first real game in Mike Martz‘s offense. But the bad news is Chicago needed that horrible Calvin Johnson call in the final half-minute to avoid getting beat by the Lions with their backup quarterback (Shaun Hill) playing the second half.”

Fox Sports: #19 (Last week: 20)

Analysis, “As good as Jay Cutler’s stats were last week against the Lions, a lot of his passing yardage came on screen passes. I’m not sold out the Cutler-Mike Martz combination just yet. They’ll get a much better challenge this week in Dallas.”

Here are the Week 17 Bears power rankings from various sites around the web:

Yahoo Sports: #22 (Last week: 24)

Analysis, When Jay Cutler plays like he did Monday night, is there any question as to why this franchise gave up so much to get him?

ESPN: #23 (Last week: 25)

Analysis, They came up big Monday night. Too bad that hasn’t happened more often this season.

Pro Football Weekly: #23 (Last week: 26)

Analysis, Could Lovie’s job hang on Week 17 result vs. Lions?

CBS Sports: #24 (Last week: 27)

Analysis, What they saw from Jay Cutler on Monday night is what they expected this season. He looked comfortable for a change.

Fox Sports: #23 (Last week: 25)

Analysis, Some have questioned his reputation as being diva-esque. His body language, hair style and social habits have been questioned. But 26 interceptions or not, as a fellow human being it was nice to see Jay Cutler’s 2009 train wreck of a season get some relief with that Monday night thriller against the Vikings.

Here are the Week 16 Bears power rankings from various sites around the web:

Fox Sports: #25 (Last week: 24)

Analysis, Another loss, three more picks for Jay Cutler and plenty of bad vibes in the Windy City. This season’s biggest NFL letdown team is the Bears, and player is Cutler — who is just the third NFL quarterback in the last 30 years to throw at least 25 interceptions in a season (Vinny Testaverde: 25 in 2000, Brett Favre: 29 in 2005).

Pro Football Weekly: #26 (Last week: #23)

Analysis, Jeremy Bates, Mike Martz … fans will take anyone at this point.

ESPN: #25 (Last week: 23)

Analysis, What’s left to say about the Bears?

CBS Sports: #27 (Last week: 25)

Analysis, Jerry Angelo said no decision has been made about Lovie Smith. Has it been made about Angelo?

Yahoo Sports: #24 (Last week: #23)

Analysis, This can’t be good news for Lovie Smith, can it (and, while we’re on the subject … can we be sure that Jerry Angelo’s fate has been decided).

Here are the Week 15 Bears power rankings from various sites around the web:

ESPN: #23 (Last week: 24)

Analysis, Even if coach Lovie Smith isn’t in trouble, offensive coordinator Ron Turner definitely is.

Yahoo Sports: #23 (Last week: 24)

Analysis, After wasting a pair of timeouts in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s defeat to the Packers, is Lovie Smith headed for a 2010 season with an abundance of time off?

CBS Sports: #25 (Last week: 25)

Analysis, They’re officially eliminated from playoff contention, which will bring even more scrutiny on Jay Cutler. Is Lovie Smith safe?

Pro Football Weekly: #24 (Last week: 23)

Analysis, Right when you think Jay Cutler will have a good game ..

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

Yahoo Sports: #24 (Last week: 23)

Analysis, “If the Bears try to trade Lance Briggs during the offseason, will Sunday’s performance by Jamar Williams be the impetus?”

ESPN: #24 (Last week: 23)

Analysis, “The best news in an ugly victory over St. Louis: Jay Cutler didn’t throw an interception.”

CBS Sports: #25 (Last week: 25)

Analysis, “It’s too bad they can’t play the Rams every Sunday. The heat might not be as intense on Jay Cutler and Lovie Smith.”

Pro Football Weekly: #23 (Last week: 22)

Analysis, “Another wholly uninspiring game, though Jamar Williams was great.”

Fox Sports: #24 (Last week: 23)

Analysis, “Big deal, right? So they beat the Rams. But what’s up with Jay Cutler? The gunner is averaging just 153.3 passing yards over the last three games. Hmm, it seems all the talk about throwing all those picks is also getting in his grill.”
