Dear Chicago Bears     It is 3 am when I am writing this letter to you. Why you ask am I writing a letter at 3 am, because I cannot sleep. I cannot sleep because again I have watched you let the playoff slip away. I cannot sleep because as a Bears fan I am struggling to wrap my head around how again we find ourselves in what is becoming an uncomfortably common occurrence.     In the 7 seasons since the 2006 ...

Let me start by saying that I feel the defensive struggles have more to do with personnel and injuries than it does with Mel Tucker and it would not shock me if Trestman kept Tucker and did not scape goat him.   When Mel Tucker was hired he said that he would keep the defense the same as in the Lovie Smith era, to cater to the existing defensive players.   This was an epic failure as the players got old, in ...

It was a tough loss to the Detroit Lions yesterday at Solider Field which put the team out of a playoff spot with just seven games remaining. The team announced today that corner back Charles Tillman has been placed on injured reserve with the designation to return in eight weeks. Tillman will miss the regular season but can return to the team if they make the playoffs. He should be available for the Wild C ...

It was a game the Bears had to have. A game that would have put them alone in first place in the NFC North with just seven games left and a favorable schedule. This game was just wacky in general and has Bears fans wondering the fate of their teams, now virtually two games behind the Lions in the NFC North with the tie-breaker. The biggest question was on Jay Cutler who looked great on the Bears first drive ...

With a three-way tie for first place in the NFC North, Sundays game is certainly the biggest game of the season for the Chicago Bears (5-3)  and Detroit Lions (5-3). The winner will have at least a share of the NFC North lead and for the Lions it could potentially be a two-game lead because of the tie-breaker. The Lions took care of the Bears in Detroit week 4 and will look to sweep the season series for th ...

During the bye week I thought I would check back in with the Bears OL and see how they are progressing to this point. Much has been made of the recent Pro Football Focus grade handed to Jordan Mills ranking him as the 73rd OT in the NFL. I am interested to see how the group is working as a unit. I looked at drives by both Cutler and McCown. [++], exceptional block that has a positive impact on the play. [+] ...

Sorry it's been a while, Bears fans, but I had to take a personal bye week last week. Long story short, I had to move. But I did manage to get the cable hooked up in time to see Jay Cutler injure his groin. Now I know many Bears fans are pessimistic about Cutler's injury. But I urge you Superfans not to worry! After all, this team has gone to [i]two[/i] Super Bowls without Cutler behind center! I think the ...

The Bears got news that quarterback Jay Cutler is out for at least four weeks with a groin tear. Cutler suffered the injury on a sack in the 2nd quarter against Washington. That was only the 10th sack of Cutler on the year. The news is better than expected as many feared the Bears would lose their quarterback for the whole season. But now the best case scenario is he misses 4 weeks and returns for the game ...

 The Bears suffered many key injuries in Sundays game against the Washington Redskins but none more worrying than QB Jay Cutler going down in the first half with a groin injury. There is no word as of yet about when Cutler might return and an MRI is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Backup quarterback Josh McCown came into the game and gave a very good performance coming off the bench which does a lot to ease ...

With a week before a their bye, the Chicago Bears (4-2) travel to Washington to take on the Redskins (1-4) in what could be a big game for both teams. The Bears look to continue their winning ways into the bye week with a big NFC North showdown against the Packers in week 9. Heading into the bye at 5-2 and at least a share of the NFC North lead is crucial for the Bears. For the Redskins, this could be their ...
