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 [...]
Former Indianapolis Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Tony Dungy stirred up a bit of controversey last week when he publicly questioned the Bears for trading for new quarterback Jay Cutler. It’s the kind of story that becomes news when there’s not much else going on.
Dungy, of course, is free to have his opinion. [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
Let’s hope Jerry Angelo was lying. But in a story on the Bears house organ, ChicagoBears.com, Angelo says that the Bears receivers have impressed him at rookie minicamp.
Really? Late-round picks at wide receiver rarely turn out well for the Bears. I have a feeling that quarterback Jay Cutler’s going to wish he had some real [...]
After the Bears acquired Jay Cutler, I was amazed to hear people on talk radio still singing the praises of Kyle Orton. For those who don’t know them, here are Orton’s stats for last season: He completed 58.5 percent of his passes, for 2,972 yards, 18 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. His quarterback rating came in [...]
The Chicago Bears traded quarterback Brian Griese to Tampa Bay on Monday. In exchange, Tampa Bay is giving up a 2009 draft pick. I personally like Brian Griese, mostly because of our shared collegiate alma mater, so I am a bit disappointed in that regard. More disappointing, though, is the realization that [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Minnesota Vikings: 20
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.
Kyle Orton [...]
