If this isn't a complete Bears disaster, it's close
This might not be a full-blown disaster, but you can see it from here. The Chicago Bears let a rookie quarterback on one of the worst road teams in the league go 97 yards on 12 plays late in the fourth quarter to blow what should’ve been an easy...

Bears defense unable to hold off Seahawks
You can question the decision by Lovie Smith to go for it on fourth-and-1 in the second quarter and pass on a field goal, something the coach did himself. But following the collapse Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field in a 23-17 overtime loss to the...

Campbell only raises more questions
SAN FRANCISCO — Jay Cutler picked a great game to sit out. It wasn't such a great game for the Bears defense to sit out. The same defense that had been making Cutler's life easy by taking the pressure off and giving him comfy leads did no such...

Defense gives fans reason to cheer
Most fans go to Bears summer training camp hoping to be entertained by spectacular offensive plays. Jay Cutler lofts a deep pass to Brandon Marshall, Devin Hester or Earl Bennett and the crowd goes wild. Matt Forte bursts through a hole and races 35...

Season has earmarks of Urlacher's swan song
Pardon me if I'm a smidge disjointed with this one. I have had no experience writing about a Bears offense with players at the skilled positions who are capable of taking a team to a Super Bowl. And I have no memory of a Bears defense that appears to...

Status quo won't be good enough for Bears
The Bears have been pretty good, probably better than most expected. But remaining as good as they have been won't be good enough. As the season moves on and the stakes get higher, the challenges will be steeper, and obstacles are sure to be placed in...

Cowboys Stadium has been kind to Bears
Dallas is as good a place as any to burst through the growing frustration surrounding the Bears stalled offense. "We can't be up and down like a roller coaster,'' wide receiver Devin Hester said. "We have to get a winning streak going — at least...

Marshall can be 'Dagger' for Bears
Through two weeks of the season, the Rams defense has leaned on coverage schemes in third-and-7-plus situations to take away vertical concepts. Sunday at Soldier Field, the Bears and quarterback Jay Cutler can attack the Rams secondary running deep,...

Marshall TD just as it's drawn up
On Brandon Marshall's 21-yard touchdown reception Friday night, the Bears had their Posse personnel (three wide receivers, one back, one tight end) on the field in a "Doubles Slot" formation. How did the Giants counter? They called for their base nickel...

Bears' forecast suddenly cloudy
There was bright sunshine at Soldier Field on Sunday, as much as we've seen at any game this year. It was considerably darker in the bowels of the stadium in the back room where injured players are laid on tables and poked and prodded, tested, X-rayed...

Urlacher hurt, but offense feels the pain
Isn’t this where we came in with the Bears almost six months ago? Brian Urlacher was coming back from a knee injury suffered in the final game of last season. His status and abilities were in question as he missed chunks of training camp reps....

It's time for Cutler to become Manning's equal
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — If the third exhibition is a porthole to the regular season, Jay Cutler is going to be a disappointment. In the Bears' 20-17 victory over the Giants on Friday night, his performance paled next that of Eli Manning, who had...
