Following that impressive win, Chicago is suddenly considered one of the top teams in the league. Then the Bears lose the next two games to NFC contenders, then ultimately begin 2-3 and are on life support. Then they go on a tear, winning five in a row, and they look like a shoo-in as the conference’s top wildcard seed. 7-3, at least a playoff birth looks like an assurance.

Jay Cutler Tribute Song is Sad, Sweet, and Surprisingly Well Done

Via The Last Angry Fan  |  December 09, 2011
Now that the Bears have had Caleb Hanie under center the last few weeks, fans have started to realize how good they had it with QB Jay Cutler, and with RB Matt Forte out as well, the pining for the return of Cutler has intensified, as is evidenced by this rather touching parody song called “Cutty Come Back.” Kind of sweet, in an cheesy, unshaven, Camaro driving, 70s sort...

It's the Marion Barber show from here on out until Matt Forte and/or Jay Cutler return. Here is a look at hypothetical propositional wagers between the Bears and Broncos. First team to score Broncos.

Via Outside The Press Box  |  December 12, 2011
As the Seahawks prepare for what should be a home victory tonight against the Rams, the playoffs are well within reach – believe it or not. All it will take is an arm extender with a firm grip.
