Grading the Bears vs. Broncos
Quarterback: C The Bears round a winning formula for Caleb Hanie — don’t let him do too much. Hanie was 9-of-15 of 76 yards, but no interceptions. Running backs: B Marion Barber (27 carries, 108 yards, 1 TD) and Kahlil Bell (9-40) filled Matt Forte’s shoes. But Barber had two miscues at the end...
Jay Cutler Tribute Song is Sad, Sweet, and Surprisingly Well Done
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 of...
Bears Lose In OT
Despite carrying a 10 point lead in the 4th Quarter, the Chicago Bears collapsed late in the game and allowed the Broncos to score 13 unanswered points, including a game winning Field Goal in Overtime, making the final score 13-10.

Bears QB, Caleb Hanie, passed for 115 yards which is a good indication that his WRs didnt do much either. Johnny Knox led the team with...
Joes 2011 Gameday Preview Bears at Broncos
With two straight losses with Caleb Hanie at the helm, the Chicago Bears find themselves in an unenviable position on Sunday, traveling to Denver to meet the best (and most run into the ground) story in the NFL: Tim Tebow. After taking over the reins for John Fox’s offense, the Broncos are 6-1 and lead the AFC West after starting the year 1-4. Will there be more magic in Denver...
Bears-Broncos prop picks (12.11.11)
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. Unless there’s a defensive or special teams score, or some kind of broken play, I don’t expect a touchdown to be the first score. So, it really comes down to which team’s offense...
Barber Named Least Valuable Player
Good morning and welcome to Bear Bites, your rundown of Bears news. Today, the news is not pleasant: the defense isn't buying the hype, Izzy thinks one blocked FG wasn't enough, Hanie didn't mess up, Barber helped the Broncos comeback, and more Bears news.
The defense is still not buying into Tebow-mania. (ESPN Chicago)
Israel Idonije is kicking himself...
