http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/da-bears-blog/ - A couple of rabid Bears fans lead the conversation about the Monsters of the Midway.

One Game, Three Outcomes
If they win... Maybe the Chicago Bears can't rescue the 2009 season from the perils of a wasted winter on Sunday night against the Philadelphia Eagles.  Maybe they can't put the bloom back on the quarterback's rose or elevate the coach from his first visit to the warmest of warm ...

Philadelphia at Chicago Preview
For the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching around the world... Your under .500 2009 Chicago Bears over Philadelphia Eagles Why do I like the Chicago Bears this week? I always like the Chicago Bears (except for last week). Because I believe, firmly in my soul, that Ron ...

The Week Ahead
There really is nothing interesting about the Bears v. Eagles game Sunday night if you're not intrigued by the playoff implications.  So at the risk of continuing my admittedly-forced optimism, let me breakdown the NFC. The Saints, Vikings and Cardinals are going to the postseason (and ...

Audibles From the Long Snapper
Seriously?  Rex Grossman's dad? I like Fred Mitchell a lot but his column with quotes from Dan Grossman should be the last football piece he writes this season.  Nobody cares what this man thinks about ophthalmology (he's an ophthalmologist) let alone how a pro football organization ...

Tommie Defends Lovie
The following is a piece from ProFootballTalk in its entirety .  I don't have a ton to add Michael David Smith's commentary so I figured I'd just throw it out here for discussion.  Bears defensive tackle Tommie Harris says he and his teammates need to get to the playoffs not just for ...

Happy Hunting
For those of you who have frequented this site over the last couple years, you know I have one simple rule about being an NFL fan: you're only given sixteen games a season.  That's it.  Sixteen.  So you better enjoy the hell out of each one because there's eight months of arid ...

Here Are the Facts
The Bears are bad.  They're awful.  They've lost five games this season and in three of them they outplayed their opponent significantly.  The other two are the poorest defensive efforts of the last twenty-five years.  The Bears make more mistakes than any other team in the ...

Bears are supposedly working on eliminating mistakes...nine games into a season.

Time to Move On
I had a dream last night that I was attending some kind of sports charity event at Radio City Music Hall and Jerry Angelo was giving a speech.  During the speech, they showed headlines of his accomplishments on the monitors throughout the place.  When he mentioned his "friend" Lovie ...

A Disaster
You can't play quarterback like Jay Cutler played quarterback last night.  It's simply not allowed at the professional level.  He was erratic, mindless and disastrously inaccurate.  He was everything we've seen at quarterback for the better part of three decades.  The same ...

Chicago at San Francisco Game Thread
One thread for the entire day.  Will be here late night or early morning to either write the epitaph for a fallen season or a call to beat Philadelphia. The proud and mighty forty-niner must fall.

Why Do I Like the Chicago Bears This Week?
Because I always like the Chicago Bears. Only one note on this game.  The news that Tommie Harris will not be suspended by the league against the 49ers will make this entire ballgame about him.  When he places his hand on the ground, he puts his reputation right beside Lovie Smith's: ...

A Change in Philosophy
I have to admit it.  I'm fascinated by Thursday night's game in San Francisco.  The Chicago Bears are only a few inches from plummeting off the cliff of the 2009 season and now, on only a three-day turnaround, must ignore the media's call for accountability and fans' call for pink ...

Audibles From the Long Snapper
So Nobody Can Ever Be Fired? David Haugh makes the argument that the Bears will fire neither Lovie Smith or Jerry Angelo because of the time left on their respective contracts.  Here's a question: why are contracts for coaches and management guaranteed in the NFL while player contracts ...

The Optimistic Approach
The Bears defense is a wretched, flaming mess.  They've got a defensive tackle with a host of seemingly incurable mental disorders.  They've got Alex Brown trying to generate a pass rush on his own, excepting Adewale Ogunelye's twice-yearly dominance against Detroit.  They've got ...

Five Things That Have To Change
The Chicago Bears can no longer employ Tommie Harris.  Today was Tank Johnson's gun house and Cedric Benson's boat ride.  I don't care if he goes to another organization and leads the universe in sacks and tackles-for-loss.  I don't want him anymore and I think if you polled ...

...
I've never written a post-game report in the third quarter before but today I'm going to do just that.  Because for the next quarter and a half, I'm doing other things.  Life is too short to waste on this kind of effort. At 2:43 pm EST, I report that the 2009 season is dead.  ...
