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

ESPN:

#12 (Last Week: 14)

Analysis, “A 3-1 record, much of it produced without injured linebacker Brian Urlacher, is pretty impressive.”

CBS:

#9 (Last Week: 12)

Analysis, “Coming off their bye, they face a good Atlanta team on the road. Jay Cutler will have to continue to play like he has the past three games.”

Yahoo Sports:

#13 (Last Week: 14)

Analysis, “Is Greg Olsen going to bust out and become a legitimate downfield threat, or was that just a bunch of preseason hype?”

Pro Football Weekly:

#13 (Last Week: 11)

Analysis, “Not the ideal time for a bye, but they’ll take the rest.”

Fox Sports:

#13 (Last Week: 14)

Analysis, “No Brian Urlacher, no problem for Chicago’s defense, which ranks sixth in the NFL in points allowed/game. Plus, Jay Cutler has this team dreaming big. Is the running game that struggled for three weeks really back after Matt Forte ripped through the lowly Lions? Hard to say at this point.”

SI.com:

#9 (Last Week: 12)

Analysis, “I’m going to see the Bears at Falcons Sunday night in Atlanta and I’m expecting a far different Jay Culter than the one I watched throw four interceptions at Green Bay in the Week 1 Sunday nigther. Cutler has thrown only one interception in the three games since the loss to the Packers, and if he wants to keep up with the Kyle Ortons of the world, he’ll keep right on protecting the ol’ pumpkin this month.”

#9 (Last Week: 11)

Analysis, “The Bears had the week off following three straight wins to keep pace with the Vikings. Back-to-back road games are up next against the 7-2 combined Falcons and Bengals.”

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

ESPN:

#14 (Last week: 14)

Analysis,  “Against the Lions, Matt Forte finally regained his rhythm.”

CBS:

#12 (Last week: 16)

Analysis, “Jay Cutler has had three consecutive games with a rating over 100. Still doubt him? The defense does have some problems that need to be worked out.”

Yahoo Sports:

#14 (Last week: 14)

Analysis, “Has any team ever had more players who are ridiculously dangerous on kick and punt returns?”

Pro Football Weekly:

#11 (Last week: 13)

Analysis, “Johnny Knox is a baller in name and game.”

Fox Sports:

#14 (Last week: 16)

Analysis, “There are a few stunners. First, Chicago’s defense has hung in there just fine without injured LB Brian Urlacher — forcing two turnovers/game in three straight wins minus their defensive captain.”

SI.com:

#12 (Last week: 16)

Analysis, “Talk about your win-win trades. The Broncos are 4-0 with the efficient Kyle Orton at quarterback, and the Bears are 3-1 with a three-game winning streak from the newly disciplined and patient Jay Cutler. Can’t say we saw either one of those particular scenarios playing out in the season’s first month.”

Covers.com:

#11 (Last week: 11)

Analysis, “The Bears toyed with Detroit before pulling away despite getting outgained 398-276. After averaging 2.8 yards per carry in their first three games, the Bears ran for 7.6 ypc against the Lions.”

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

ESPN:

#14 (+1 from last week)

Analysis, “The Bears need more of the Jay Cutler who showed up to beat the Steelers.”

CBS:

#19 (+1 from last week)

Analysis, “So Jay Cutler isn’t that bad after all. He played well in beating the Steelers to hush some critics. The better news is the improved play of the defense — even without Brian Urlacher.”

Yahoo Sports:

#14 (+2 from last week)

Analysis, “How many of you fans fetched your crumpled up Jay Cutler jerseys out of the trash after Sunday’s performance against the Steelers?”

Pro Football Weekly:

#13 (+1 from last week)

Analysis, “Huge win. No, HUGE win.”

Fox Sports:

#17 (+3 from last week)

Analysis, “Now that’s why Bears fans went B-A-N-A-N-A-S, bananas all summer long in anticipation of watching Jay Cutler captain their team. Cutler came through in Week 2 to avoid an 0-2 start with a flawless fourth quarter in the rain against the defending champion Steelers.”

Covers.com:

#18 (-6 from last week)

Analysis, “The Bears got some revenge after last week’s meltdown in GB. They were outgained but won thanks to the 2-0 turnover edge and two Pitt missed field goals.”

SI.com:

#17 (no change from last week)

Analysis, “That was a big, equilibrium-gathering win against the Steelers, but can a franchise that barely survived the Good Rex, Bad Rex era endure a similar Good Cutler, Bad Cutler routine from week to week? In case you’re wondering, the Bears beat the defending champs and didn’t move an inch because we’re not jumping them over the Packers, who just beat them in Week 1.”

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

ESPN:

#15 ( -4 from last week)

Analysis, “The loss to Green Bay was tough. The loss of Brian Urlacher for the season was devastating.” (Chadiha)

CBS:

#20 ( -5 from last week)

Analysis, “It was a bad start for Jay Cutler, and now he gets the Pittsburgh Steelers coming to town. Losing Brian Urlacher hurts.”

Yahoo Sports:

#16 ( -3 from last week)

Analysis, If Johnny Knox keeps burning defenders, how long until some smartass in an opposing secondary calls him a “Jackass”?

Pro Football Weekly:

#14 (no change from last week)

Analysis, “That’s not going to help Cutler’s clout in Chi-town.”

Fox Sports:

#20 ( -1 from last week)

Analysis, “Did you hear MJ just got inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame? The best NBA player ever won SIX rings with the Bulls, that’s pretty cool. Seriously, Chicago’s D seemed revived in the opener with four sacks and held the high-powered Packers until a late bomb on a tricky play-call.”

Covers.com:

#12 ( +7 from last week)

Analysis,“The Bears took one of the biggest jumps despite falling to the Packers and losing Brian Urlacher for the season. They outgained Green Bay 352-226.”

SI.com:

#17 ( -7 from last week)

Analysis, “What a difference a week makes in Bears-land. Jay Cutler morphs into Rex Grossman, and Brian Urlacher is lost for the year before it really begins. And now the home opener against the defending champ Steelers looms. Let’s see what Lovie Smith‘s guys have in their guts. If they’re going to hang with the Packers and Vikings this season, avoiding an 0-2 start looks mandatory.”
