Roy Williams hopes to re-sign with Bears

Via AP on Fox  |  December 28, 2011
Roy Williams figures the Chicago Bears are in for some changes. He hopes he's part of their plan. Williams says he would ''be happy'' to re-sign with Chicago but will look to play elsewhere if they can't reach a deal.

Via Pro Football Zone  |  December 27, 2011
Chicago Bears wide receiver Roy Williams expressed his hopes that the Bears will bring him back for next season since he signed a one year deal. “Most definitely,” said Williams. “I’m just trying to make plays. It’s a great group of guys, a great group of receivers. I think we all complement each other. “But I [...]

McCown taking it all in stride

Bears WR Roy Williams Hopes Team Wants Him Back

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...

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...

Bears play for pride with postseason out of reach

Via AP on Fox  |  December 26, 2011
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...

Who Stood Out in Playoff-Killing Loss?

Via NBC Chicago  |  December 26, 2011
Though the Bears are officially out of the playoff chase after Sunday's loss to Green Bay, there were bright spots in the loss. There were also some big black holes. Grizzly Bears: Josh McCown: While McCown's play didn't reach the statospheric levels of Aaron Rodgers, he was perfectly competent. He got rid of the ball well, connected with his receivers, and kept...
