Initial disclaimer here-it is actually quite possible that should the Bears lose to Green Bay for the ninth time in the last eleven meetings then fail to make the playoffs as I predict, it is quite possible that the organization may still bring Lovie Smith back as head coach. So I’m not claiming to predict [...]
Amazing how things change in a relatively short amount of time. In January 2011 we were all talking about the upcoming NFC Championship game in Chicago between the Packers and Bears. What an event, regardless of the fact that it turned out horribly for the Bears and their fans. Then just five weeks ago we [...]
Some left-over thoughts from the Chicago Bears’ most recent debacle. – It just doesn’t feel right to put the names Devin Hester and Kellen Davis in the same context, but the (albeit slightly different) experiments with both of these players on offense need to end. In 2007, Hester was moved from cornerback to wide receiver [...]
Never fear, those of you that listen to Lovie Smith. Regardless of what has happened to this point in the 2012 season, or those before, the Bears only face the fourth in a series of four-game seasons in Lovie-speak. Win their final three games and the Bears are in the playoffs. This is true, to [...]
There is a growing consensus that the Chicago Bears are more likely headed for a second-straight collapse than a return to the playoffs and an improbable G-Men like run to a Super Bowl victory. I didn’t say that’s how I feel, but this concern is growing. I’m actually surprised that the majority of ESPN analysts [...]
The headline isn’t that the Bears lost to the Seahawks, although the third straight loss at home to the Pete Carroll team may end up being the big news of the year. I was watching the game with my good Buccaneers fan friend. After this awesome defense we love to watch surrendered a 97-yard drive [...]
What we learned yesterday about the Chicago Bears: – Through the first ten games of the season, the Bears showed they could beat the teams they’re supposed to beat, and unfortunately that they cannot beat contending teams. (Note that I didn’t say will not, I hope they will, but so far they have not.) Yesterday [...]
Wow, when was the last time the Chicago Bears had a 7-3 record and its fan base was anxious? (Then again I may be the only fan that’s anxious). In 2001 and 2005 at this point the Bears were rolling, and more importantly at least two other teams in their division were out of the [...]
The 32-7 beat-down the Bears took at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers last night was a loss counted on by many (including our resident commenter JDM). It was just one loss. Every season other than that of the 1972 Miami Dolphins has its disappointments. Could the Bears regain their bearings and come back [...]
Surprising development greeted us this morning-apparently 49ers quarterback Alex Smith will not play tonight. Given that this will be San Francisco backup Colin Kaepernick’s first career start, and Bears backup Jason Campbell’s 71st, one might think this would provide confidence. However, I still remember Eric Hipple’s first start against the Bears on Monday Night Football [...]
