PLAYERS: Josh McCown,  Lovie Smith
TEAMS: Chicago Bears

San_francisco_49ers_3624
Coach Lovie Smith said he liked what he saw from Josh McCown against the Packers on Sunday night. ‘‘The performance that Josh put in last night was impressive,’’ Smith on Monday said when asked if McCown might be considered for the No. 2 quarterback spot in 2012. ‘‘That’s why we can get so much done this week. We want to see him have an opportunity to play again. You normally can find a spot for a player who played the way he played last night.’’ Of course, if the Bears were any good at evaluating quarterbacks, they wouldn’t have been …

McCown taking it all in stride

Via chi.scout.com  |  December 26, 2011
Josh McCown has a been-there-done-that attitude that is serving him well as QB for the Bears. In his debut for the team, he thoroughly outdid the performances of Caleb Hanie before him.

Monday Morning Quarterback: Bears-Packers (12.25.11)

Via Bears Beat  |  December 26, 2011
Josh McCown had a nice performance against the Packers but the Bears defense couldn't live up to its responsibilities. I can’t figure out what made me more sick Sunday evening; the excessive platefuls of food I ate or the Packers embarrassing the Bears in a prime time game in front of a national audience. It was probably the food, though, considering I expected a non-competitive...

Green Bay Packers 35, Chicago Bears 21

Via Bears Locker  |  December 26, 2011
The Bears were down 35-10 early in the 4th quarter before showing signs of life.  But it was far too little and far too late.  Josh McCown looked a lot better than Caleb Hanie last night…..but that’s not saying a whole lot.  McCown completed 19 of 28 passes for 242 yards with 1 TD pass and 2 INTs.  He also carried the ball 8 times for 38 yards (4.8 ypc).  Kahlil...

Smith snaps at question about Martz's future

Via Chicago Tribune  |  December 28, 2011

2011 Chicago Bears Season Over

Via Chicago Bears Weblog  |  December 26, 2011
Don’t feel like saying much about this one. As expected, the Bears were throttled 35-21 by the Packers in Lambeau. Chicago is now eliminated from playoff contention after the Bears gave up five passing touchdowns to Aaron Rodgers. It was Rodger’s first five-touchdown game in his career. Go figure. There were just a few positives. Josh McCown, to me, earned the...

In-Game Action: Bears vs. Packers

Via NBC Chicago  |  December 25, 2011
For the fourth time in 2011, the Bears will face the Green Bay Packers. For Chicago, back-ups to back-ups Josh McCown and Kahlil Bell will start, while the Packers top-rated offense will try to pile up on the Bears. Marion Barber will not play because of a calf injury, but Devin Hester, who didn't practice this week due to a sore ankle, is active and expected to play. If the...

He got rid of the ball well, connected with his receivers, and kept...

The Chicago Bears thought they were headed to the playoffs not too long ago. Now, they can forget about that. They'll be playing for nothing more than pride when they close the season at Minnesota this week, trying to stop their longest slide in nearly a decade, after their playoff hopes were dashed with a 35-21 loss at Green Bay on Sunday night. It's a stunning fall for...
