If the 185th installment of the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears works out like it usually does, it should be a great game for NFL Network to kick off their 2012 Thursday Night Football extravaganza. The Bears (1-0) own the all-time edge by six games in the NFL's oldest and most historic rivalry, but it's the Packers (0-1) who have won six of the last seven. … [Read more...] about Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers: Brutally Honest Preview

Don’t Underestimate the Chicago Bears
After the dust had settled following the Bear’s third consecutive season opening win at Soldier Field, there was only one thing going through my mind: “The Bears are WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!” But this time, it wasn’t as if Denny Green and the Arizona Cardinals “let us off the hook”. The Bears couldn’t have had their opening 3 minutes go any worse if they planned to. … [Read more...] about Don’t Underestimate the Chicago Bears
Indianapolis Colts open Andrew Luck era against Chicago Bears
Finally. After such an incredibly turbulent offseason, perhaps the most turbulent one since infamously moving to Indianapolis in 1984, the Indianapolis Colts finally have a real football game to play today, the first one coached by Chuck Pagano and quarterbacked by Andrew Luck. A new era. A fresh start. We certainly won't learn everything about this majorly overhauled … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts open Andrew Luck era against Chicago Bears
Bears-Packers wager made by top NASCAR drivers
Typically when NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stars Matt Kenseth and Kurt Busch discuss the “field” it has to do with 41 other drivers and isn’t named “Lambeau,” but on Thursday, Sept. 13 that all changes. Prior to heading to Chicagoland Speedway to kick off the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Kenseth and Busch will make a friendly wager as the Chicago Bears take on the Green Bay … [Read more...] about Bears-Packers wager made by top NASCAR drivers
Chicago Bears Season Outlook: 2nd Quarter
According to my own sound reasoning, the Bears will either be 3-1 or 2-2 heading into the 2nd quarter of the 2012 NFL season. All things considered, 2-2 isn’t exactly reason for panic. Luckily for the Bears, sandwiched between games 5 thru 8 is their bye week in week 6. And the next quartet of opponents appears to be a less daunting bunch… on paper. But the Jaguars, … [Read more...] about Chicago Bears Season Outlook: 2nd Quarter
Chicago Bears 53-Man Roster
8 pm CT has come and gone on August 31st. The Chicago Bears roster received some serious cosmetic surgery in the hours approaching the NFL mandated roster deadline. After signing one veteran, former Bear DT Amobi Okoye, the Bears carved away from 76 players down to 53. The final roster is set… for now. The Bears can still sign and release players, but they must also make … [Read more...] about Chicago Bears 53-Man Roster

Chicago Bears Training Camp Position Battles: Safeties
The mix at safety is always interesting for the Bears. The team hasn’t had any player return as a starter for more than two consecutive years at safety since Mike Brown was in town… the first time around. In my last post, I mentioned how the safety rotation took a hit with the injuries to Chris Conte and Brandon Hardin. It looks like defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli will … [Read more...] about Chicago Bears Training Camp Position Battles: Safeties
Chicago Bears week 2 success; overshadowed by injuries
Following Saturday’s performance by the starting unit, Bears fans everywhere should be exhaling a huge sigh of relief this week. Cutler-to-Marshall was finally on display, the line actually protected Jay (gasp!), and Israel Idonije led the first team defense in their solid effort to contain RG3. Instead, fans and the Bears front office are forced to keep an eye on an … [Read more...] about Chicago Bears week 2 success; overshadowed by injuries
