Did Cutler Flip Off Chicago Fans?
Dec 29th
One of the more entertaining stories coming out of the Chicago Bears’ delightful OT victory over the slumping Minnesota Vikings involves Bears quarterback/mouth breather extraordinaire Jay Cutler. Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio asks whether Cutler flipped off Chicago fans after they booed the Bears’ decision to take a knee with nine seconds left in regulation [...]
NFC Playoff Scenarios Abound Entering the Final Week
Dec 29th
After the Chicago Bears 36-30 win over the once-thought-to-be-indestructible Minnesota Vikings last night, there are plenty of playoff scenarios that could play out on the final week of the season. We know two things for sure. First, the six teams in the playoffs are the New Orleans Saints, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, Arizona Cardinals, Green [...]
Shanahan Wants to Coach the Bears
Dec 25th
Former Denver Broncos’ coach and Chicago native Mike Shanahan is “extremely interested” in coaching the Chicago Bears, according to ESPN. Shanahan would be reunited with Bears’ quarterback Jay Cutler, who had two strong seasons under Shanahan in Denver, if he did take over in the Windy City. “The job is really attractive to Mike,” a [...]
Lovie May Be Done In Chicago, But He Isn’t the Real Problem
Dec 22nd
We’ve alluded to the distinct possibility that Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith may be finished in the Windy City, but the strongest evidence to support this possibility emerged after the Bears’ pathetic 31-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, on Sunday. In some circles, it was thought that Smith was safe because the organization was unlikely [...]
The Bears Can’t Even Leave Chicago Properly
Dec 19th
The Chicago Bears are bad this season, but now we have confirmed that their ineptitude stretches beyond the field. The Bears can’t get to Baltimore to play their game against the Ravens tomorrow. The team was supposed to leave Chicago at 10:30 Friday night. That didn’t happen. The team sat on the plane for two [...]
Jay Cutler = Jeff George
Dec 16th
According to NFL analyst and former Baltimore Ravens coach Brian Billick, Chicago Bears’ quarterback Jay Cutler is the new Jeff George. George is the former No. 1 overall draft pick who played for seven teams in his 14 NFL seasons. He had the strongest arm I’ve ever seen, but was severely lacking in the areas [...]
NFC Playoff Picture: Clearing Out the Trash
Dec 14th
While there are still eight teams vying for two wild card slots in the AFC, the NFC picture has become pretty clear after Sunday’s games. The Green Bay Packers currently hold the fifth seed, behind the division-leading New Orleans Saints (13-0, No. 1 seed), Minnesota Vikings (11-2, 2), Philadelphia Eagles (9-4, 3) and Arizona Cardinals [...]
Packers Killing Them Softly
Dec 13th
The Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears 21-14 to keep the team in playoff position. It was a satisfying win for the team, but one that should or could have been a blowout. The Packers lead 13-0 in the first half, but as they’ve done all season, let their opponent back into the game [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. Bears
Dec 13th
Monty: The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears are on opposite sides of the football map. The Packers are riding high on a four-game winning streak, sporting a rejuvenated offense and the NFL’s No. 1 ranked defense, with a playoff berth within reach. The Bears have lost four of their last five with an underachieving [...]
Oh Yeah, Packers Are Playing The Bears This Week
Dec 12th
In case you forgot, the Green Bay Packers are playing the Chicago Bears this week. That had kind of slipped my mind because… what’s that old song? Oh yeah, it’s this one. The Bears (5-7) are bad this season for a lot of reasons. Most noted is the fact quarterback Jay Culter leads the league [...]
Chicago Bears’ Quarterbacks Micro Machine Style
Dec 1st
The Chicago Bears have had a lot of quarterbacks over the years – most of them bad. As a Green Bay Packers’ fan, that gives me a warm feeling inside not unlike that of a belly full of whiskey. Here’s a rundown of the Bears’ quarterbacks by John Moschitta Jr., who you may remember as [...]
Chicago Bears Already Looking For Lovie’s Replacement
Dec 1st
At least if you believe several reports that have come out this week. It really should surprise no one, however, if Chicago Bears’ coach Lovie Smith coaches his last game for the team on January 3rd at Ford Field. The Bears, at 4-7, have been atrocious this season after just about everyone in Chicago anointed [...]
Minnesota Vikings: Raising Them Classy
Nov 30th
We all know Minnesota Vikings’ fans are a classy bunch, and by “classy” I mean an ignorant, classless bunch of scumbags. Well, now we know why. Not only do they breed them that way, they teach them the ways of the douchebag at a young age. It’s a wonder anyone from Minnesota can escape this [...]
Chicago Bears Fans Turning on Jay Cutler Already
Nov 24th
It’s true. Chicago Bears’ quarterback Jay Cutler hasn’t performed up to the lofty, Jesus-like expectations set out for him when he arrived from Denver. Sure, he leads the league in interceptions with 18 (vs. 15 touchdown passes). It’s true that Cutler interceptions put an end to any chance the Bears had in their last two [...]
In Case You Missed Devin Hester’s Ass
Nov 23rd
We’ve got it right here for you! If, like me, you were watching something exciting on television last night like the MLS Cup instead of the two crap teams NBC put on Sunday Night Football, you probably missed it. Well, not to worry. We have the shot of Chicago Bears’ receiver Devin Hester’s ass for [...]
49ers Reflect Coach Mike Singletary
Nov 21st
The Green Bay Packers opponent this week, the San Francisco 49ers, have become a reflection of both coach Mike Singletary and the team he played for, the Chicago Bears, in the coach’s 13 months on the job. Singletary has instilled a toughness in the 49ers and, not surprisingly, his team plays much the same way [...]
Chicago: Where Quarterbacks Go To Die
Nov 19th
We all know what happens when the Green Bay Packers aren’t playing well. We all pile on coach Mike McCarthy (and rightfully so) and general manager Ted Thompson. Well, in Chicago they do it a little differently. When the Bears are playing poorly, they pile it on their former Messiah, quarterback Jay Cutler. Cutler has [...]
No, Dan Grossman, Father Doesn’t Know Best
Nov 18th
Chalk this one up to embarrassing things my pushy parents say. Except in this case, the “child” is 29-year-old former Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman. And the parent is his dad, Dan, an ophthalmologist from Bloomington, Ind., who came out swinging Monday against his son’s former team. The elder Grossman essentially blamed the Bears‘ organization [...]
After 10,001 Simulations, Packers Make the Playoffs
Nov 5th
From the Take From This What You Will Department… After 10,001 simulations run on the remainder of the NFL schedule, the Green Bay Packers make the playoffs at 10-6. That is, if you believe What If Sports, which runs said simulations based on some sort of mumbo jumbo that isn’t terribly clear. From what I [...]
Bears Trade for DE Gaines Adams
Oct 17th
The Chicago Bears drew first blood against the Green Bay Packers in the trade market Friday, trading for Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Gaines Adams. Adams was the fourth overall selection in the 2007 NFL Draft out of Clemson, but he has been an underachiever for the Bucs. The Bears sent a 2010 second-round pick [...]
