Three Things We Learned From Week 7 – This Is Some F*cked Up Repugnant Sh*t

Sam Fels October 21, 2019 0

Ooof. The Bears Coach Might Be Broken-Brained – I joked about it in the preseason. It was only semi-serious. But Matt Nagy’s fixation/psychosis about one missed kick last season seemed to be far too big of a story, and one they were pushing themselves. It seemed so odd and so

Week #7 – Saints 36, Bears 25: Saint It Ain’t So

Brian Schmitz October 21, 2019 0

This is what I get? Off a bye week. After a loss. This is how you respond. Go ahead and ask yourself; can you remember a worse 3-3 football team? The Bears suck right now, and I don’t envision a scenario where they are going to get any better. Before you go off on Mitch […]

The Vault: Bears/Saints 2007

Tony Martin October 17, 2019 0

Ali/Frazier. Jordan/Bird. Brees/Orton. Some match-ups loom larger than the game itself, as two titans of the sport go head to head in a winner take all showdown. It was week 17 of the 2007 season, with both teams eliminated from playoff contention a mere 12 months removed from their previous encounter in  the NFC Championship. […]

Bears Offensive Rankings Are Offensive

Brian Schmitz October 16, 2019 0

With the first trimester of the season in the rearview, let’s take a look at where the Bears offense if through the first five games. Caution, reader discretion is advised. Yards Per Game:              Ranked 30th (266 YPG) This stat is especially alarming because the Bears offense has actually been more effective with their backup quarterback […]

Week 7 – Saints vs. Bears: QB Study – Bridge Over Troubled Water

Tony Martin October 16, 2019 0

Worst title I’ve ever given an article? Yeah, it’s up there but the season is still young, folks! This week the Bears were gifted a game against a high-octane offense with a backup quarterback under center. Teddy Bridgewater is playing his 6th game this year, his 5th start running the Saints attack. The first question […]

Bears after the Bye: What now?

Wes French October 15, 2019 0

Daaaaaaa Bears are back at Halas Hall and practicing this week after the long week off following the loss in London. They’re not whole, though. Kyle Long was mercifully decommissioned on Monday, hitting IR without a designated to return rider. Akiem Hicks isn’t on IR, but Matt Nagy casually said he hopes to see his […]

Hold The Lines, Football Isn’t Always On Time

Sam Fels October 14, 2019 0

Woof. I know. Let’s just move on. As the Bears return from their off-week (Eric Zorn correctly pointed out that calling it a “bye” isn’t correct, and we have only the highest of standards here as you well know) they certainly aren’t without some news. And none of it is particularly good or up-lifting. This […]

The Vault: Bye Week

Tony Martin October 10, 2019 0

Welcome back to THE VAULT, where I revisit some of the best vintage games our beloved Bears have played against whatever team they match up against this week. The Bears don’t have an opponent this weekend, but I’m trying so hard to make THE VAULT indispensable; think of me as Matt Nagy, and THE VAULT […]

Sons Of Wilber Marshall – Week 5 Roundtable

Sam Fels October 8, 2019 0

So what do we make of this loss and the 3-2 record at the bye? On the one hand, the Bears looked bad for most of three quarters against a bad team and the game was still there to be won and they gave it away. On the other, they were missing two of three […]
