The Bears welcomed the Pittsburgh Steelers for their home opener this weekend. The Steelers won the last three contests, all in Pittsburgh, but hadn't won in Chicago since 1995. That was the only time they have ever won in Chicago. That statement still holds true today after the Bears, despite suffering a number of injuries in week one, won with a last minute kick by Robbie Gould.The brain-trust at the Chicago Park District decided to host a U2 concert less than a week before the home opener so the condition of the field was marginal at best, as they had to re-sod large portions after 60,000 people showed up to help contribute to the starving blah blah blah Africa. One of the big stories was Jay Cutler rebounding from a game where he threw more interceptions in a single game than ever before, at any level. The media, both local and national, pulled no punches and seemed to think that this ONE GAME was a sign that Jerry Angelou and the Bears had made a colossal mistake. After las...

The Drive of the Game

I was nervous yesterday.  As nervous as I've been during a Bears football game in an awful long time.  While I paced ferociously around the pool table at Josie Wood's, surrounded by twenty or so friends, Jay Cutler showed no signs of nervousness.  Knowing he was coming off the worst performance of his football-playing career, he was calm.  In front of...

Mondays Are Always Better After A Bears Win

Sunday got off to a pretty rocky start for me as I was facing Tennessee's Chris Johnson in my fantasy league this week, and well, he destroyed me. I figured things were only going to get worse with the Bears taking on the defending champs at Soldier Field later in the afternoon but instead I was witness to the first win of the Jay Cutler Era in Chicago.Before the game started Lovie Smith said

Bears Unlock Forte-Knox and Find Gould!

Memo to Nation's headline writers: There. To the best of my knowledge, I got in the first egregious play on words using all three of these players. I know the names Knox and Gould have been gnawing at you. But it's over now. So let's get past it all you "Punsters of the Midway," and talk football. _____ I know there are a lot of Chicago fans out there who read that headline and...

Chicago Bears Report Card: Week Two Vs Pittsburgh Steelers

So it was an ugly win, but I will take it. First off, "Good as Gould" is the greatest clutch kicker in Chicago Bears history. The man is money... Takes notes Jeff Reed. Second, whatever was up with Soldier Field, either they need to fix the turf or the Bears should have been wearing longer cleats because people were slipping and sliding as if they were on an ice rink. Third, THAT...
