Bears quarterbacks Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton can be forgiven if they have a extra pint tonight -- or some fruity cocktail in Orton's case, since he's on his honeymoon in Hawaii -- because the Bears finally got them some help at wide receiver.
Booker Catches On With Bears Again
Guess Who's Back?
Chicagoist hopes that IDOT has placed their orders for reinforced guard rails and extra sign posts because Lance Briggs will be remaining with the Bears after signing a 6-year, $36 million deal over the weekend.
Bears Cut Moose Loose
You know that list of needs the Bears have to fill this off-season? Quarterback, running back, offensive line? Well, we can add wide receiver to the list.
Bears Plunder Win From Raiders
For just short of 57 minutes, it was not a pretty game. We're glad we endured it, however, to see the Bears finally come alive in the final three minutes and turn a 6-3 snoozefest deficit into a 17-6 victory against the Oakland Raiders. Chicagoist almost gave up in the second quarter, when Brian Griese went down with a shoulder injury, Rex Grossman entered the game... and preceded to fumble his first snap! D'oh! Well,...
Bears Pluck Win From Eagles
This time, their late comeback attempt worked. For the second week, the Bears drove down the field in the final two minutes to score a critical touchdown. But unlike last week's loss to the Vikings, the Bears put the final points on the board and held on to beat the Philadelphia Eagles 19-16. For the first three quarters, neither team had any success getting the ball into the end zone. Repeated trips into the "red...
New QB, Same Results
Things are not looking very good for the Bears. With Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Detroit Lions, the Bears showed their weaknesses on both sides of the ball. The first game of the Brian Griese era was no more successful than the Bears under Rex Grossman. Supposedly the safe game manager, Griese threw three interceptions — two while the Bears were in the "red zone." The other one was returned 64 yards for a touchdown....
Giant Killers
Chicagoist was amazed that, as quickly as the national sports media jumped on the Bears bandwagon, they leapt off even faster following the Bears' loss to Miami last week. Maybe they'll realize those leaps were premature after the Bears defeated the New York Giants 38-20 on national TV Sunday night. For the first 28 minutes of the game, it certainly didn't look like the Bears would win. The Giants dominated the game and held a...
Who'll Field the Punts?
While last week's media focus was who should play QB, this week all the attention is on special teams -- specifically who will field punts for the Bears. The job had been Bobby Wade's from the start of the season, and early on he had some success. In Week 2, he returned a punt 73 yards for a TD against Detroit. That one big play earned him the benefit of the doubt for a long...
Edinger, McQuarters Kicked to Curb
The Bears released two veteran players this week, granting Paul Edinger's request to be released while also parting ways with cornerback R.W. R.W. McQuarters.
Bear Win 23-13
Halloween night looked to offer up a scary matchup in front of a nation-wide ESPN audience between the 1-5 Bears and the 1-5 San Francisco 49ers. The Bears came away with the 23-13 victory, thanks in part to a big plays by a number of rookies.
