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 [...]

Here’s something that has never happened in Chicago sports history: All five of our major sports teams have never made the postseason in the same year.
It could — emphasis on that word “could” — happen this year, though.
Let’s look at our beloved teams: Both the Bulls and the Blackhawks have already made the playoffs. The [...]

The annual Bears Expo took place last weekend at Soldier Field. Of course, most of the buzz there centered on new quarterback Jay Cutler.
But there was an interesting sidebar, of course, centering on the Bears’ weak cast of wide receivers. According to a story in the Sun-Times, several attendees at the expo questioned Bears general [...]

What happens if Cutler goes down?

The Bears Gab blog had a frightening post the other day: What happens to the Bears offense if Jay Cutler should suffer a serious injury?
Why, it’d leave the offense in the hands of Caleb Hanie.
Yikes.
Now, Caleb may be a perfectly fine quarterback. He may be the next Henry Burris. We don’t know because Hanie has [...]

The Bears a top-five team? I don’t think so

I’m a sports pessimist. I always expect the worst. Of course, I’m a fan of Chicago sports teams. More often than not, that pessimism is warranted.
I was surprised, then, to read this report by Andrew Maisonneuve at the excellent sports site bleacher report. In his post, Maisonneuve says that the Bears, thanks to the signing, [...]

Toomer or Boldin? This isn’t really a debate, is it?

These Bears, most notably coach Lovie Smith, have often treated their fans like they’ve never watched an NFL game. Remember last year, when the Bears insisted that they were happy with their wide receivers? Fans certainly weren’t. And after watching a year of Rashied Davies drop passes and Marty Booker practice his disappearing act, no [...]

Chicago Bears Reserves Lose to Browns in Final Preseason Game

Posted by Brandon Mendelson

August 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment

The Chicago Bears starters hardly played enough to dirty their uniforms in the final preseason game of the year against the Cleveland Browns. Quarterback Rex Grossman only played one series and all four Bears quarterbacks saw playing time. The final result of the game, a 19-9 loss, is not really that important as [...]

The Chicago Bears will play their fourth and final preseason game tonight at Soldier Field against the Cleveland Browns. The goal of any final preseason game should always be the same: no injuries! The last thing the team needs is to lose a player to injury in the last contest before the regular [...]

Garrett Wolfe is a rookie running back out of Northern Illinois University. He is only 5′7″ but is a strong 180 pounds and has tremendous speed. He has showed promise in his appearances during the preseason and hopefully he will get more chances during the regular season to prove himself.
While at NIU, he [...]
