Big Question: How will Cutler’s INTs hold the offense back?

For all intents and purposes the Bears roster is set. While fans and even players might dream of the addition of Plaxico Burress or another veteran wide receiver, GM Jerry Angelo doesn’t seem to share that vision and seem content to go with this roster. So during this lull, where few ...

Is Ron Rivera your 2010 Chicago Bears Head Coach?

Define irony: a guy you fired three years ago because you thought you could do a better job without him coming back to take your job because you couldn’t do it without him. Maybe not poetic enough for Alanis Morissette but it could be a reality for Lovie Smith. Lost in the ...

Tough times for Rex, but does Jay Cutler change his legacy?

Favre as a Viking eh? Circle Dec. 28th and bring it on

The NFL schedule makers are part gamblers, part fortune-tellers. They take educated guesses months in advance of how teams will finish and try to set compelling match-ups, especially down the stretch.

Bears add Bullocks, cut Metcalf

The Bears have desperately needed to add someone at safety since the decision to part ways with Mike Brown was made early this off-season. It was obvious no one, perhaps outside of his immediate family and friends, was excited about the idea of Craig Steltz starting at free safety. Unfortunately, ...

Bears re-sign Kevin Jones

The Bears second move of the free agency was just as mundane and uninspiring as the first. On Friday the team agreed to bring ex-Lion Kevin Jones back on a two-year, $3.5 million deal. Jones was a disappointment most of last season, failing to lighten the work load for rookie Matt ...
