Do the Bears need a backup running back?

Posted by bearsfan

June 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment

The Bears had a lot of needs to fill this offseason. Credit Jerry Angelo will addressing many of them: He found a potential franchise quarterback. He added Orlando Pace to the offensive line. He added depth to the linebacking corps.
Of course, that leaves a few needs left unfilled, wide receiver being the most glaring. But [...]

USA Today takes a whack at the Bears

Few teams have had as eventful an offseason as have the Chicago Bears. The Jay Cutler signing alone guaranteed that.
Now the USA Today has devoted a signficant amount of space to previewing the Bears’ upcoming season, largely because of the Cutler trade. The big surprise is that the paper actually does a good job of [...]

Is it up to the tight ends to provide the passing offense this season?

Jay Cutler may wish he was back in Denver by the time this season ends. Of course, if the Bears do find a veteran wide receiver somewhere, than Cutler will probably have a fine time this year.
Will that happen? Who knows? For now, though, the Bears organization continues to insist that Devin Hester, who led [...]

Former Bear Brown signs with Chiefs

Mike Brown, one of the Bears’ biggest impact players before injuries and age robbed him of his speed, signed today with the Kansas City Chiefs.
It’s a shame, really, because Brown was one of the few Bears of recent vintage who knew how to make the big play. In fact, the 31-year-old safety is the Bears’ [...]

Sports fans love to make predictions: the White Sox will trade Paul Konerko. The Cubs will fall short in the NL Central this year. The Bulls will make a terrible pick in the NBA draft.
One of the more intriguing guessing games today, though, centers on the Bears. The question is: Which Chicago team will next [...]

Why the Vikings are still the favorites in the NFC North

Posted by bearsfan

June 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment

I really want to believe that the Bears, powered by the strong arm of Jay Cutler, will win the NFC North this year.
It’s hard to force myself to believe this, though. Yes, it’s a fairly weak division. But I still think the Vikings, though they’re certainly not Super Bowl contenders, are still the smarter choice [...]

Which Bear has the most to prove this year? Urlacher

Posted by bearsfan

June 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment

There are a lot of Bears that have something to prove this year.
Devin Hester has to prove he’s a number-one receiver. Jay Cutler has to prove he’s ready to be a leader. Rashied Davis has to prove he can actually catch the ball.
And then there’s Brian Urlacher. Remember when he was one of the most [...]

Why don’t people care when football players take steroids?

Sammy Sosa is making news again in Chicago today. Seems he tested positive for steroids back in 2003. Not much of a surprise there. I mean, the guy looked like a toothpick when he played for the White Sox. With the Cubs he’d magically transformed into a walking mountain.
Even though no one’s really surprised by [...]

Maybe the Broncos and Bears will just switch rosters

Former Bears wide receiver — for one year, at least — Brandon Lloyd signed with the Denver Broncos yesterday. He joins Kyle Orton, the former Bears quarterback who was the guy responsible for throwing him passes yesterday.
Lloyd was one strange guy last year. In September, he was Orton’s go-to guy. Lloyd snagged 15 passes in [...]

The Crosstown Classic — and all we care about is the Bears

June 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment

This started out as a fairly promising baseball season. The Cubs were supposed to run away with their division. The White Sox, while troubled by more questions, were at least supposed to be serious contenders in theirs.
So far, though? Neither team has done anything to make their fans proud. The White Sox are struggling along [...]
