Peppers!

Since I started using twitter, all my random Bears thoughts have been collected there. But with Julius Peppers signing, thought I'd dust off the old blog. I love the Bears' signing of Peppers. A good pass rush makes everyone else on D look better...

Bears Win Finale; Still Need Overhaul

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed today's Bears win over the Lions. It wasn't like season's past where they'd be out of the playoffs, and you'd mostly be rooting for a loss in a meaningless game to improve the team's draft position...

Bears read last rites by Minnesota

The Bears were depantsed by Brett Favre and the Vikings today, and the season is "officially" over. Just a brutal, brutal game. Almost 600 yards of offense for the Vikings while the Bears were held well less than 200 (and only two - two yards...

Bears Whipped by Arizona. Time to Clean House?

Today, the Bears were embarassed for the second time in three weeks, as they lost to Arizona 41-21. Quick recap: Can't tackle. Can't cover. Can't rush the passer. Top to bottom, horrible performance by the D. Offense was OK, but still kept...

Benson gets last laugh as Cincy demolishes Chicago

There's not a whole lot to talk about with today's game. The Bears were completely outclassed in every phase of the game. Offense, Defense, Special Teams. The D-Line was abused, the Linebackers were running on their heels all day, and the secondary...

Bears take care of Lions

The Bears beat the Lions 48-24 in a victory that wasn't quite as dominating as the score would indicate. Some quick notes, in outline fashion: Special Teams were the stars of the day: Johnny Knox returned a kick 102 yards for a TD (though he did almost...

Bears Upset Steelers

The Bears beat the Steelers today 17-14 on a game-winning kick by Robbie Gould. I was checking out twitter after the game, and Steelers fans are taking it none too well. First off, everyone pretty much agrees that the Bears suck, and its pathetic to lose...

Bears Lose Opener; Somehow Still in Playoff Race

The Bears lost an ugly game to the Packers. Let's quickly summarize. Cutler was awful in the first half. 3 picks, could have been 5. Grossman all over again. Jake DelCutler. I felt like throwing up. Cutler looked like a new man in the second half...

2009 Bears: Who should stay and who should go

The Backup Bears beat the Backup Browns tonight in the season finale. Jay Cutler played one series and didn't even attempt a pass. I so wish I had spent $75 on a ticket to THAT game! Anyways, it's cutdown time for the Bears. Lets look at the closest...

Bears Look Good in Second Tuneup

The Bears starters looked really good in beating the Giants 17-3 on Saturday night at Soldier Field. The Bears starters gave a pretty dominating performance, and that's really all you could ask for. Jay Cutler looked very good in his three drives...

Bears Training Camp, 2009

Went to Bourbonnais today to take in my first few glimpses of Jay Cutler and the 2009 Bears. I gotta say, I was very impressed. Cutler's throws cut through the air unlike any Bears QB I've ever seen. SO impressive. He makes Orton and Grossman...

Grossman Can't Find a Job

I probably shouldn't be writing this because, well, we have our Quarterback now. And as coach said, only cowards live in the past. But ultimately this post is more about our coaching staff than it is about Grossman, so here goes. Rex Grossman can't...

2009 Bears Draft Review

The Jay Cutler trade took a little fun out of this year's draft for Bears fans, but I don't hear many people complaining. We got our guy. Yeah, we gave up two number ones, a number three, and Orton. But that's not really that much, if you...

Great Time to be a Chicago Sports Fan

The Bulls and Hawks are looking good in the playoffs, the Cubs and Sox are both coming off playoff appearances and off to a decent start. Oh, and the Bears just traded for a franchise Quarterback, only two seasons removed from a Super Bowl appearance...

Shock and Awe: Bears Trade for Cutler

It's official, the Bears got Jay Cutler from Denver for Kyle Orton, two first rounders, and a third rounder. Denver's also sending a 5th rounder back. They certainly gave up a lot, but I love this deal for the Bears. A franchise QB is coming to...
