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 [...]
Critical Games-The home loss to the Texans by seven points while the defense again did everything it could was frustrating. But being an inter-conference game, it was the best game the Bears could have lost. However, it was only the second game in 2012 against top NFL competition, and as we all know the Bears [...]
What more can I say about tonight’s Bears loss to the Houston Texans, the only NFL team Chicago has never beaten (0-3) that you don’t already know? Bullet points: – How many more times can this 2012 Bears defense, who I think are playing better than they did in 2006, have their performance squandered by [...]
I, along with a lot of you, suffered through the long Wannstedt and Jauron years. Hell, I even endured three of the four Neill Armstrong seasons. Having been through that, it’s wonderful to say that it’s great to be a fan of the Chicago Bears again. However, not to bring up anything bad while basking [...]
Sounds disingenuous saying it now, but honestly I was worried about the potential of a trap game yesterday. Luckily, somehow, the Bears were able to pull out a 23-22 last-second with over the Panthers. What an exciting game to attend. As easily as the Bears could have lost the game, nobody I know thought they [...]
A couple of articles today are icing on the cake after Chicago’s dominant win over Detroit. 13-7 was the final score, only because of a garbage touchdown scored by the Lions with 40 seconds remaining in the game. I wanted a shutout bad, but will certainly take the win. Profootballtalk now ranks the Bears as [...]
As Perno stated, he may be reading my mind, the Bears have not beaten a truly good team in 2012. The Cowboys were good enough to knock off the Giants on the road, and the Colts beat the Packers, but still no one could argue that the Bears have been dominating good teams. And I’m [...]
This weekend’s six-pack: 1. As I am always the cautious, conservative, worrisome Bears fan, the main thing I want to say about Sunday’s visit to Jacksonville is to beware. Certainly the Bears should win this game convincingly. But all anyone had to do was watch the 4-0 Arizona Cardinals lose to the 2-2 St. Louis [...]
Six thoughts on NFL week four and the Bears’ forthcoming Monday-nighter in Dallas: 1. Watching Packers-Saints yesterday, I just couldn’t see either team winning. Meaning, it was hard to comprehend that either the Packers would drop to 1-3 at home, or the once-powerful and still talented Saints would fall to 0-4. But unfortunately the Saints [...]
As the brouhaha continues over the Packers being robbed by a bad call, losing last night’s Monday Night game, let’s not forget the following. In 1989 the Chicago Bears traveled to Lambeau Field having won eight games straight over the Packers. With just seconds left on the clock, on fourth and long with the Bears [...]
