Cutler realizes Bears need offense to step up
Jay Cutler understands the Chicago Bears need help to get to the playoffs, and they could use more than just an assist from archrival Green Bay.
It would help if their offense pitched in.
It hasn't in recent weeks, and that's one reason the Bears (9-6) are in danger of missing the playoffs for the fifth time in six years. Those struggles have played a big role in their...
Bears lead the league in Hall of Fame players, who’s next?
Iconic names like George Halas, Bronko Nagurski, Dick Butkus, Mike Singletary, Walter Payton, and Mike Ditka stir echoes throughout the hallowed hall. With a league leading 27 legendary Monsters of the Midway permanently hibernating in Canton, the NFL Hall of Fame could conceivably be nick-named the Bear Cave.
The most recent player to join the clan of caved Chicago Bears was Richard...
Bears WR Devin Hester's Time in Chicago is Up
Perhaps no player personifies the Lovie Smith era in Chicago more than Bears wide receiver and kick returner Devin Hester. Hester has been brilliant at times, the best return man in the NFL. Hester may go down as the best of all-time, but as a wide receiver he's been an abject failure.
Hester's days as a player in Chicago are numbered, regardless of what his contract...
Jay Cutler Backs The Job Of Bears Offensive Coordinator Mike Tice
Only four teams in the NFL -- the Chargers, the Jets, the Jaguars and the Cardinals -- are averaging fewer yards per game than the beleaguered Bears offense. Those teams are a combined 22 games under .500.
But the last thing Bears quarterback Jay Cutler wants to see is yet another change at the top. He's hard three offensive coordinators in four years (Ron Turner, Mike Martz...
Bears in Desperate Need of Safety Help
With the injury to safety Chris Conte on Sunday, the Bears are in need of help at the safety position. Safety Craig Steltz was already placed on the injured reserved list, ending his season leaving the Bears with only second year safety Anthony Walters and Major Wright to play the back end of the defense.
Now the question becomes where are the Bears going to find that safety...
Cutler: “We put ourselves in this position”

The Chicago Bears signed safety Troy Nolan on Wednesday to add depth in a depleted area. Nolan has five tackles in seven games this season for Houston and Miami.

Bears Injury Report: Matt Forte Exits with Ankle Injury

victory over the Arizona Cardinals after reinjuring his right ankle, reports

Bears Agree To One-Year Contract Extension With LS Patrick Mannelly
When the 2012 season kicked off, long-snapper Patrick Mannelly became the longest-tenured player in Chicago Bears history. He has now been with the team for 15 seasons, and General Manager Phil Emery decided today that he'd like to see Pat around for a little while longer.
The team announced today that Mannelly has been given a one-year contract extension, which will keep...
Bears LB Brian Urlacher Still Not Back On Practice Field
The Chicago Bears held a light practice without helmet or shoulder pads and still were missing six players, four of them starters, in practice Wednesday at the Walter Payton Center.
Middle linebacker Brian Urlacher, sidelined since the Dec. 2 loss to the Seahawks with a hamstring injury, remained out. That puts him in jeopardy of not playing Sunday against the Detroit Lions at...

Wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher is heading home. The Maumee, Ohio, native and Ohio State alumnus was claimed off waivers by the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday. Sanzenbacher was waived by the Chicago Bears a day earlier. The Bengals cleared a roster spot for Sanzenbacher by placing rookie cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick on injured reserve because of a knee injury. In four games with...

Week 16 Injury Analysis report is here although I am pretty sure most of your fantasy seasons have come to an end and a champion has been crowned. However, there are some leagues that go until the very final week of the season although I personally am not a fan of these as it punishes teams who have players without a lot to play for in the final week.
