I don't know if I can take much more of this.Two straight gut-wrenching overtime victories in the last two weeks have me ordering this for Sunday's game, because I'm positive the Bears are trying to kill me.Following this team is like being in an abusive relationship. Every...
Week 16 Preview - vs. Green Bay

Five weeks ago, Green Bay eviscerated the Bears at Lambeau Field 37-3 to move in to a tie for first place in the NFC North, seemingly positioned for another run at a division title. The Bears seemed badly exposed by the blowout loss, looking bad in every possible way. The playoffs...
Week 15 recap - Well . . . that was fun

I wonder if the Bears included Dramamine as part of their season ticket package this year, or if they've made it available at Soldier Field for home games. For the cost of going to a Bears game these days, the least they could do is give you a way to fight off the motion sickness...

With the Bears playing two games in four days this week the format will be a bit different, with double doses of offensive and defensive recaps coming after the Bears host the Saints on Thursday night.
The game is a must-win for both teams, with the playoff hopes of both teams on life...
Week 14 Recap - Bears fend off toothless Jaguars

An underwhelming matchup between a mediocre and a bad team Sunday was essentially decided on the first possession of the game, when David Garrard mistook Danieal Manning for a fellow Jaguar and hit him right between the numbers, setting the Bears up on the five yard line right off...
Week 14 Preview - vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

I suppose the "REAL real season" starts this week if you ask Lovie Smith. The Bears' playoff hopes are on life support, could very well not be enough. Minnesota is firmly in the driver's seat in the NFC North, needing only three - and likely only two - wins in their...
Week 13 Recap - Prime-time Poseurs

It'd be easy to say the 99 yard touchdown from Gus Frerotte to Bernard Berrian, following Minnesota denying the Bears on four scoring chances frrom the one yard line, swung the momentum towards the Vikings and forever altered the outcome of the game. But that's probably something...

I don't know if it's possible to overstate how important this game is, in very different ways, for both of the teams playing on Sunday night.For the Bears, it's a chance to put a serious crimp in Minnesota's plans for a division title and playoff spot. A victory here...

I intended to run this piece yesterday but between playing my own football game and then driving a couple hours to spend time with my family, I was just wiped out.While the Bears have been a mixed bag this year, there's still a lot to be thankful for, more than I anticipated at...
Week 12 Review - Offense

Shortly after the Bears drafted Matt Forte, I was trolling around some of the message boards Bears fans frequent. While people were generally happy about first round selection Chris Williams, they were lukewarm at best about second-round selection Matt Forte.
Now, I don't follow...
Week 12 recap - Rams run over

| Comments
Well, that was different.
Coming off last week's lackluster - and that's being polite - performance against Green Bay, the Bears made a bunch of noise about it being a "new season" and yammered on incessantly about being the best defense in the league "when they...
The season starts when?
November 21, 2008 by
From the Midway
| Comments
Evidently the Bears have a different take on the NFL schedule from the other 31 teams in the league.
I think what's most irritating about Smith's comments about the season starting over with six games to go is that I'm not surprised, or even really all that angry. I mean...
Week 12 Preview - at St. Louis Rams

If ever a first-place team faced a must-win game against one of the worst teams in the NFL, it's this week in St. Louis.
As the Bears like to remind everyone, they ARE a first place team. But of all the division leaders in the NFL, no one has more questions about them than the...
A few more thoughts on Bears-Packers
November 19, 2008 by
From the Midway

It was pretty evident from the first offensive series how things were gonna go for the Bears. Kyle Orton came up hobbled almost immedietely and it was clear he was still badly affected by the high ankle sprain he suffered against Detroit. When Orton was limping off the field after...
