What will the Bears' offense look like in '12?
This week has brought some closure to the coaching staff searches but also raised a lot of questions; why Jeremy Bates after he was at first eliminated before the search began? And why didn't he get the passing game coordinator title? Then even more questions were raised, like can Mike Tice even...
Mocking the Mocks: Who they think the Chicago Bears will take
This time out we'll double dip and take a look at what CBSSports.com has to say about the Chicago Bears 19th pick in the NFL draft. They have two mock drafters making picks and even though both believe the Bears will go with a wide out, both believe it will be a different wide out. First up if...
The Mike Tice Promotion is Doomed to Fail
That's right, I said doomed. But before you furiously type out some rant-like rebuttal in the comments section, read through my reasoning behind this. And no, it has nothing to do with me disliking Tice as the Bears' offensive coordinator. To err is human; to jump, divine. Tice's promotion to OC...
2012 Chicago Bears Roster Turnover: Wide Receiver
I've come to a realization watching the NFL Playoffs, and that is that the Chicago Bears have a horrendous group of receivers. I've always known they have limitations, but seeing the game changing talent making athletic play, after athletic play makes it obvious that the Bears wide-outs aren't...
2012 Chicago Bears Roster Turnover: Tight End
The notion of the tight end as nothing more than a glorified offensive lineman has retired along with former Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz. While there's still a place for the blocking TE in the NFL and in Chicago, the Bears will actually want to find a TE that can catch the ball. Could...
I have one reason the Bears should say No to Tim Ruskell
Tim Ruskell was a Jerry Angelo hire. Not just a hire, but he was brought in ("allegedly")* to take over when Angelo stepped down. The two share a general managing philosophy, and if Angelo was fired because the Bears wanted the franchise to go in a different direction, they why the hell would...
Thoughts From NFL Wildcard Weekend: Bears and beyond
When I saw that the Sunday afternoon playoff game on CBS was going to be the Steelers at the Broncos I thought that a huge nationwide audience would get to see their "savior", their "hero", their football "messiah", Denver QB Tim Tebow exposed against a really good NFL defense. Oops. Not only was...
Chicago Bears Sackwatch 2011; Week 17 vs. Minnesota Vikings
Are you kidding me? Seven sacks? Including 3.5 to Jared Allen. Did Mike Martz not get the memo that Allen was all amped up to go for the single season sack record? It took Martz far to long to give his left tackle J'Marcus Webb any help on the relentless Allen. Had Chicago QB Josh McCown been...
Chicago Bears Sackwatch 2011; Week 15 vs. Seattle Seahawks
These last four weeks the Chicago pass protection has been exposed. I'm not ready to lump all the blame on the offensive linemen, but I do hope the Bears look into picking up an NFL quality left tackle if one is available via free agency. I'd also be fine if a highly rated lineman was taken in...
The Chicago Bears need to Play To Win The Game
There's playing conservative and then there's playing scared, and the Chicago Bears played scared down the stretch against the Broncos. I understand the thinking by Lovie Smith and/or Mike Martz in the 4th quarter. Don't do anything stupid. But there are ways to safely throw the ball in late game...
