While ESPN continues to drool over the upcoming Monday Night Football game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers, I continue to sit here and wonder how I should beáwatching this game. It is, for the lack of a better analogy, like Darth Vader going up against the Empire. It is the one man that Bears fans hate more than any other person in this world in Brett Favre (only ...

OK, I am taking the same approach as usual to my breakdowns, but if anyone has actually been reading these, do you think I should start in on a new approach to this article?á It justásometimesádoesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to compare QB's when they won't be throwing against one another. So following the bye week,áshould I be comparing offensive pieces against the opposing defenses and visa versa? ...

When the Chicago Bearsásquare off against division rivals the Detroit Lions this weekend, many are expecting the Bears to run away with it. Call me pessimistic, but I am not falling for that one. I have been a Bears fan all my life and what I have noticed over the pastáfew yearsáis that the Bears have a tendency to play down to the Lionsálevel. Now, I am not saying they will lose ...

Wow... that was the definition of an ugly win. In fact, I will just come out and say it; the Bears did not deserve to win. Their defense, while it forced turnovers, was pretty miserable most of the game. They made Seneca Wallace look pro bowl like and Julius Jones shredded through tacklers like it was nothing. But they won. And a win is a win, whether it is ugly or pretty and ...

The Bears head to Seattle this weekend for what should be a pretty exciting game against the Seahawks. Even though Seattle is dealing with some injury issues, going into Qwest Stadium and getting a win is never easy. But since I am getting this out late, we should get right down to brass tacks... á OFFENSE Quarterbacks: Matt Hasselbeck/Seneca Wallace vs. Jay Cutler One of the injuries Seattle has to deal with is the cracked ...

There is the old football adage, "The game is won in the trenches," and that is most certainly the case for the 2009 Chicago Bears. But so far, the offensive line has not lived up to expectations. Obviously, there first two games were played against powerhouses in the Packers and Steelers, but if those games are any indication, Jay Cutler and Matt Forte could be in for a long season. While Cutler has ...

So it was an ugly win, but I will take it. First off, "Good as Gould" is the greatest clutch kicker in Chicago Bears history. The man is money... Takes notes Jeff Reed. Second, whatever was up with Soldier Field, either they need to fix the turf or the Bears should have been wearing longer cleats because people were slipping and sliding as if they were on an ice rink. Third, THAT IS THE ...

The defending Champion Pittsburgh Steelers roll into Chicago, fresh off a win over their conference rival, the Tennessee Titans and are looking to go 2-0. The Chicago Bears are on the opposite end of the spectrum after losing their opening game to division rival the Green Bay Packers and losing defensive captain and face of the franchise, Brian Urlacher. Lets see who has the advantage:   OFFENSE Quarterback:Ben Roethlisberger vs Jay Cutler Roethlisberger continues to be the king of the fourth ...

OK, I get it- Tony Dungy is an amazing coach. Not only that, but he is a great, stand-up guy who believes in second chances. I wouldn't be surprised if he can also walk on water. He won a Super Bowl and so did Mike Martz as an offensive coordinator. Jim Mora Sr. has also been a coach for longer than I have been alive. All that aside, I am tired of hearing ...

Lost among the debacle that was the Bears crushing defeat this past Sunday was the show put on by Devin Hester. Hester has been criticized often during the past off season by many who wish him to be strictly a return man and not be a wide receiver. Sports writers and fans a like have not thought that Hester could make the difficult transition, and looking at his numbers last year, ...
