Coming off an 11-5 season, with all 22 starters returning, the Bears entered this weekend's draft without the glaring holes of recent years. None-the-less, they did have some areas in which upgrades clearly would help the team. With one of the league's worst offenses, and the best defense, clearly they needed to address their offensive holes. Especially with this week's signing of Ricky Manning Jr., which helped fill a void created by Jerry Azumah's retirement....

Are you ready for some Bears football? Chicagoist sure is! The preseason is over, the roster is set and the Bears head into 2005 full of optimism but with a rookie QB leading the offense. Will they see an improvement over last year's woeful 5-11 campaign? Or will they continue to languish at the bottom of the NFL standing? With the Bears season starting on Sunday, we thought we'd take a look at what's in...

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.

Another painful Bears season wrapped up Sunday, with the Packers avenging their earlier loss 31-14. In the rout, the Packers tied a team record with 9 sacks. And the Packers, having already locked up the NFC North title, mostly played their backups. Packers QB Brett Favre sat after the Pack took a 14-7 lead in the 2nd quarter. No matter, they still killed the Bears.

Chicagoist has watched enough football in our lifetime to know that when your defense scores more points than your offense, you're going to lose the game! The Bears proved that true once again, losing to the Washington Redskins 13-10. The Bears' lone touchdown came on a 70-yard interception return by Jerry Azumah, in his first game back following a neck injury. The Bears' defense outscored their offense 7-3. Ouch!

Three weeks into the season, and the Bears defense already lost Jerry Azumah, Alfonso Boone, Mike Brown and Charles Tillman for all or most of the season. Brian Urlacher sitting because of his hamstring-- which caused him to miss the whole pre-season--is not a good sigh. And now the Bears lose their field general on the offensive side of the ball. The Bears will now have to rely on Jonathan Quinn at QB for the rest of the season. Unless they decide to sign one of the free agent QB's still looking for a job, like Jeff George... What do you think the should do at QB -- stick with Quinn or look for a more experienced passer?

Running back Thomas Jones ran for 152 yards, the defense intercepted Brett Favre twice and Brian Urlacher forced a fumble that was run back 95 yards by Mike Brown for a TD.
