2014 Chicago Bears: seven things that actually went right
Chicago Bears, way to be disappointing. The 2014 season wasn’t supposed to go like this.

Jets are Geno Smith’s team; for better or worse
The New York Jets lackluster play is more frustrating than normal because this team has shown that they have talent. Behind all of the penalties, turnovers, and play calls that will make your head spin is a team that has managed to keep every game close. This is a team that was actually beating up on the Green Bay Packers 21-3 at one point. … [Read more...] about Jets are Geno Smith’s team; for better or worse
Chicago Bears All-22: Rookie DT’s
The Chicago Bears drafted rookie defensive tackles Ego Ferguson and Will Sutton to help add youth to an aging defensive line.

In limited snaps, Ferguson showed his … [Read more...] about Chicago Bears All-22: Rookie DT’s
