Bears beat Saints, end season on high note

The Chicago Bears ended their mediocre season with a victory over the New Orleans Saints.  Although it meant nothing, it was one of the Bears most entertaining games of the season.  Maybe they should always play like it doesn’t matter.  Kyle Orton looked like a man desperate to prove that he deserves the starting quarterback […]

A Christmas miracle: Bears beat Packers

Chicago Bears: 35
Green Bay Packers: 7
The last time the Bears played the Packers, I watched the game after unsuccessfully trying to complete the Chicago marathon in 90 degree weather. It is, of course, appropriate that for their second meeting, the weather was freezing cold. And by cold, I mean 2 degree wind chill […]

Chicago Bears: 13
Bears officially eliminated from playoffs
The Chicago Bears lost to the Minnesota Vikings in front of a national television audience on Monday Night Football. Although the Bears had been mathematically still in the playoff race, this loss confirmed what everyone already knew: The Bears will have no post-season this year.

Redskins: 24
Bears:  16
Last night’s Chicago Bears loss to the Washington Redskins may not be as costly to the line-up as originally thought.  When Rex Grossman went down with a knee injury, it looked serious enough to not only end his season, but to impact his ability to play next year.
Today the Bears announced that Rex […]

New York Giants: 21
Chicago Bears: 16
Although, granted, the New York Giants were beating themselves for most of the game, the Chicago Bears really should have come down with this victory today. Instead, following a late score, the Giants beat the Bears on their home turf.
The Bears had their own problems, dropping passes they […]

Bears win in OT, Hester sets return record

Thankfully my prediction of a boring game between the Chicago Bears and the Denver Broncos did not come true. In fact, the Bears OT win over the Broncos was probably the most exciting game this season.
The Bears were pretty much at the end of the line play-off wise if they lost Sunday, so Coach Lovie […]

Bears lose to Seahawks 30-23

The Chicago Bears lost another game that they could have won today, this time to the Seattle Seahawks. If a few more catchable passes would have been caught, and few more blocks would have been made, this could have had a better outcome than a 30-23 loss.
The first possession of the game for the […]

Five minutes of exitement: Grossman leads Bears to victory

The first 55 minutes of game time of the Chicago Bears game versus the Oakland Raiders was a snooze fest. The teams exchanged punts and each put a field goal on the board. The only things keeping me awake were the Bears quarterback change and the fact that the Raiders kept kicking to […]

Chicago Bears lose to Lions (again) 16-7

Are the Chicago Bears really this bad or are the Detroit Lions really this good? Or is it both? Whatever the case, the Bears lost to the Lions for the second time this season, this time on their own home field, 16-7.
Maybe the orange jerseys are not so lucky after after all. […]

Chicago Bears over Eagles in Dramatic Finish

Chicago Bears: 19
Philadelphia Eagles: 16
The last one minute and 53 seconds of the game was as exciting as the rest of the game was boring. The first three and a half quarters amounted to a dull field kicking duel, but that the last offensive drive by the Bears to take the win was nothing […]
