Redskins at Bears Game Preview

It is the game that will let us know what to expect from the remainder of the 2010 campaign.  Are the Chicago Bears capable of holding their division lead over the next two months, keeping the charging Packers and Vikings at bay?  Or are the Chicago Bears bound for a season’s worth of scoreboard watching...

Audibles From the Long Snapper

Worst Case Scenario I had this thought this morning.  Imagine a scenario where Julius Peppers sacks Donovan McNabb in the fourth quarter, knocking him out of the game.  And Rex Grossman enters, leading his team on a game-winning drive.  My God.  That would feel like the end of the world. Dan Pompei quotes the former... Read more »

Breaking Down the Washington Redskins

Very interesting to study the Washington Redskins against the Indianapolis Colts – defensive sister school of the Chicago Bears.  The Colts and Bears have nothing in common on the other side of the ball but that doesn’t mean there was nothing to be learned.  Here are my thoughts on the ‘Skins. Brian Orakpo already has... Read more »

The First Must-Win Game of 2010

I’d imagine the columns have already been written, saved under “Fire Lovie” on the laptop computers of David Haugh, Rick Telander and Steve Rosenbloom.  They contain the phrases that have filled beat pages and blog posts since 2004: poor clock management, wasted timeouts, poor talent recognition, little accountability, offensive incoherence…etc.  I’m sure a few of...

Don't Forget the 3 in 3-1

I know how Bears fans work and I’ve never liked it.  An unarguably poor performance in the Meadowlands and suddenly half the roster needs to be traded and coaches need to be fired.  3-1 after four games isn’t not enough for Bears fans anymore.  The 3 never happened.  All they remember today is the 1...

Who Are the Chicago Bears?

Some fans get mired in Power Rankings and pundit prognostications.  Some fans clamor for respect from the national “experts” because it seems the national “experts” are the only ones talking about sports on television these days.  We live in a BCS sports culture.  A sports culture, led by the four-letters, that believes winning is not...

The 2010 Chicago Bears Season

Bears fans, be warned!  We are about to embark on a rickety roller coaster ride – this 2010 season – for at least seventeen weeks.  There are many possible outcomes, most of which we’ve discussed ad nauseam.  The disaster of a 5-11 season, missing the playoffs for the fourth straight year and an overhaul of...

Schedule To Be Announced Tuesday April 20th

For some of us, the announcement of the NFL schedule is something like an adult version of Christmas morning.  We start making travel plans, coordinate road trips and dissect each stretch of games to evaluate our team’s chances of making a run into the postseason.  The NFL will announce the entire slate of 2010 games...

Ted Phillips, "X Factor"

When the New York Giants finished their season at 8-8, John Mara addressed the New York media with the ferocity of a rabid wolverine.  “I’m less than 24 hours after the end of the season,” he said, “so I’m sure I’ll cool down at some point and try to make intelligent decisions going forward. But... Read more »
