Cleaning House In Chicago
Jan 6th
Well, the Chicago Bears were too cheap to fire coach Lovie Smith after all, but they did do plenty of house cleaning on Tuesday. First, let’s address Smith. He’s under contract for two more years at a total of $11 million. Despite going 23-25 in the past three seasons, including 7-9 this season, the Bears [...]
Lowly Bears Apologize To Fans In Full-Page Ad
Jan 4th
Ah, how the mighty have fallen. Picked by some in the preseason to win the Super Bowl, the Chicago Bears instead struggled to a 7-9 record and failed to make the playoffs for the third season in a row. In response, the team took out a full-page ad in two of Chicago’s papers Monday apologizing [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Trade Rumors Around the NFC North
Oct 15th
The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, and while there are very few in-season trades made in the NFL, that doesn’t stop people from speculating about what could or should happen. The Green Bay Packers have been linked to several names, but more on that in a moment. The most persistent rumor revolving around any NFC [...]
Taking a Time Out for Some Chicago Bears Delusion
Sep 30th
I about crapped right in my pants when I read this headline from the Chicago Tribune. You ready for this? “Is Jay Cutler the second coming of Tom Brady?” That’s a real headline. Seriously. My sides hurt from laughing. Anyway, in this brilliant article Rick Morrissey deftly explains why Cutler, the Chicago Bears savior, may [...]
Jay Cutler – Drunk, Stoned, or Just Dumb?
Sep 22nd
By now, I’m sure you’ve caught the replay of Jay Cutler getting his helmet knocked off by the referee on Sunday. You know, the one where Cutler is seemingly oblivious to the guy standing right in front of him waving his arms. We mentioned before how Cutler always seems to look drunk, and this only [...]
The Packers Defensive Resurgence Begins On The Line And A Few Other Notes
Sep 16th
No, it wasn’t lost on us. We pointed out how well the Green Bay Packers defense played in week one both during the game and in the aftermath. That, however, has been somewhat lost in the blather surrounding the terrible performance of the Packers offensive line. It should be noted, though, both Cullen Jenkins and [...]
Final Notes On The Packers vs. Bears
Sep 14th
The Green Bay Packers escaped Lambeau Field with a 21-15 victory over the Chicago Bears last night. I say escaped because despite a rousing performance by the Packers’ defense, which forced Bears’ quarterback Jay Cutler into four interceptions and held Matt Forte to just 55 yards rushing, the team was lucky to come out with [...]
The Bears Still Suck, But…
Apr 9th
Yes, the Chicago Bears still suck, even after their much-hyped acquisition of quarterback Jay Cutler. However, it looks as if the Bears are doing their best to change this phenomenon (sucking) that has grasped their organization since its inception. Even though the Bears nabbed Cutler from the Denver Broncos last week, and have a potential [...]
Lovie Gets A New Toy: How Bernard Pollard Screwed The Packers
Apr 2nd
Personally, I think the NFL blogosphere needs more paranoid conspiracy theories and superstition. With this article, TotalPackers.com will try to do just that – I will examine a fascinating chain reaction of retarded events that may culminate in the Chicago Bears becoming relevant once again, much to the chagrin of my beloved Green Bay Packers.
