Bears vs. Packers – Week 5 Preview

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

Oh Boy, the Bears could really use a win this weekend. They’re on a stage against their arch-rival, the Green Bay Packers. The only problem is, the Packers are 4-0 and the Bears are 1-3. This feels like these teams are heading in different directions. Brett Favre is hot, on the heels of his record-setting [...]

Bears vs. Lions – Week 4 Preview

Friday, September 28th, 2007

Brian Griese has a great opportunity to look like a great quarterback this weekend. The Lions have given up 8.6 yards a padding attempt this season. Last week the Eagles shredded the Lions defense. Brian Griese is not Donovan McNabb, and Cedric Benson certainly isn’t Brian Westbrook, but the Bears do have some talent on [...]

Brian Griese named the Bears starter against the Lions

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

Finally we don’t have to hear the words from Lovie’s mouth, “Rex is our starting quarterback.” I couldn’t be more pleased. Make no mistake, I don’t think Griese will do well (except against the Lions this week), but I do think he’s better than Rex. Who will the media beat up on if the Bears [...]

Bears get demolished by the Cowboys

Monday, September 24th, 2007

What can be said for the Bears? They were terrible. Sunday night’s loss to the Cowboys couldn’t have gone much worse.

Brian Urlacher missed a ton of tackles.
Lance Briggs hurt his groin.
Cedric Benson still can’t run the ball consistently.
Devin Hester probably could have made some nice plays if he was able to hold onto the ball.
Bernard [...]

Cowboys vs. Bears – Week 3 Preview

Friday, September 21st, 2007

This Sunday’s matchup between the Bears and the Cowboys pits one of the best offenses (Dallas) in the league against one of the best defenses (Chicago).
The Bears have proven to be able to keep running games in check. They have held LaDanian Tomlinson and Larry Johnson to low rushing totals in their 2 games [...]

Bears place Brown and Dvoracek on IR

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

Not only did the Bears drop their opening game to the Chargers on Sunday, they also lost defensive team captain and Pro Bowl safety Mike Brown and defensive tackle Dusty Dvoracek for the season.
Brown has struggled with injuries throughout his career. The Bears brought in Adam Archuleta to play strong safety and moved Brown [...]

Bears acquire and sign DT Darwin Walker

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

The Chicago Bears filled the hole that was left by Tank Johnson and his arsenal of weapons. They acquired DT Darwin Walker for a conditional 5th round pick. Walker has played his seven previous seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. Over that time he’s racked up 27.5 sacks. That kind of production will definitely help the [...]

Lance Briggs sees the value of actually playing football

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

Lance Briggs is still a baby, but at least he’ll be a baby in a Chicago Bears uniform this football season. Briggs who was tagged as a franchise player in March vowed to never play for the Bears again. He demanded that the Bears either remove the tag, or trade him. What a punk. Of [...]

Peanut around until 2013

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

The Bears have locked both of their starting cornerbacks up for a long time. Tuesday the Bears signed Charles “Peanut” Tillman to a contract through 2013. Nathan Vasher signed a 5 year contract extension earlier in the summer.
Peanut has definitely been burned on big plays, but he is a solid corner, and he definitely [...]

Chicago Bears draft Greg Olsen from the University of Miami

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

With the 31st pick in the 2007 NFL draft the Bears picked up a pass receiving tight end Greg Olsen. From the scouting report it seems like this guy is similar to Jeremy Shockey, another Hurricane tight end. Let’s hope so. The scouting report gave him rave reviews for his pass catching, but failed to [...]
