Angelo has now run nine drafts for the Bears.  He has hit on some players, yes, including ... http://www.chicagobearsweblog.com/blog/index.php/chicago-bears-news/more-scrutiny-on-angelo/ The 2010 Chicago Bears finished the preseason 0-4 for the first time since, gulp, Dave "Wanny" Wannstedt's final 4-12 campaign in 1998. But I would tend to agree with the team's assessment that it does not matter.  The lines we are being fed are that most of Mike Martz' offense has ... http://www.chicagobearsweblog.com/blog/index.php/chicago-bears-news/bears-winless-in-preseason/ Preseason games are snoozers.  But much more so when the starters don't play, which seemingly will be the case tonight in Cleveland. On the one hand I would hate to see any injuries.  On the other hand, this will do nothing to quiet the worry the both the Bears offense and ... http://www.chicagobearsweblog.com/blog/index.php/chicago-bears-news/no-bears-starters-tonight/ Yesterday, in a Chicago Tribune article I saw in the paper but can't find online to link, several sources said they're confident the Bears offense will get it in gear for the regular season opener. Contrast that with Mike Mulligan's article in the Sun Times today, in which he says that ... http://www.chicagobearsweblog.com/blog/index.php/chicago-bears-news/diverging-views-on-2010-bears/ Just an early Tuesday morning diatribe while floating in the wake of an ugly Bears loss, during which the team looked disinterested in playing even average football. For those of you that were at home as I was, Fox 32's Lou Canellis interviewed legendary Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher before the game.  ... http://www.chicagobearsweblog.com/blog/index.php/chicago-bears-opinions/urlacher-could-care-less/ For all NFL teams, the third preseason game is the dress rehearsal for the season, the most important event until real play begins. And the Chicago Bears looked atrocious.  I can't remember the Bears looking worse in the third preseason game in all my years watching them.  Worse than Wanny bad, ... http://www.chicagobearsweblog.com/blog/index.php/chicago-bears-news/bears-terrible-in-dress-rehearsal/ In 2005 it became a Lovie Smith tradition to start a rookie safety.  That year, Chris Harris broke into the starting lineup.  In 2006, it was Danieal Manning, then Kevin Payne the next year (the plan anyway, until his injury), and Al Afalava in 2009.  It's looking like sooner rather ... http://www.chicagobearsweblog.com/blog/index.php/chicago-bears-news/wrights-turn/ Ah, Rashied Davis.  I was so happy for this guy in 2006.  A former arena football player that took his game to the next level and apparently succeeded, making several CLUTCH receptions in the Super Bowl year to win games. Then in 2007/2008, the memories that stick in my brain are ... http://www.chicagobearsweblog.com/blog/index.php/chicago-bears-news/davis-people-put-stuff-on-me/
