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. Overpay? Absolutely. But you have to overpay...

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. With the first and second round picks gone,...

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! - in the second half). Favre had wonderful protection...

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 making stupid drive-killing penalties. Offensive...

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 was flat-out horrible. The completely manhandled...

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 pull a Desean Jackson at the end of the play...

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 to them. Second, they mostly pinned the blame...

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. A few great drives, some beautiful throws. Great...

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 races: WR - Hester and Bennett are the only...

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, all of which led to Bears scores. What you saw from...
