We didn’t even get four hours of optimism
I, and every other Bears fan, have become far too used to this Black Monday cycle. Third time in eight years, seventh time in my lifetime. And there’s supposed to be a routine to it. News of whichever dope your team is firing leaks in the morning. You then hear of a press conference scheduled later ...
Revisiting the Bears' absurd offer for Russell Wilson
The most recent NFL offseason was so chock full of Aaron Rodgers news that it’s easy to forget all the drama that surrounded Russell Wilson and his relationship with the Seattle Seahawks. While Wilson claimed he wanted to remain in Seattle, he did express discontent with how team personnel decisions...
Bears look like Lions’ best shot at a win this year
It’s been nearly a year since the Detroit Lions won a football game. In early December 2020, they managed a 34-30 victory over the Bears, before dropping the last four games of the season. In 2021, Dan Campbell’s squad dropped eight straight — until, rejoice, rejoice, a tie against the Steelers a fe...
I’m almost free
When you’re a fan of a team, you can’t really identify some threshold or benchmark before you know a coach will be fired. You can say before a season that this record wouldn’t be good enough, but you can never be sure, especially when it comes to the Chicago Bears. After all, all of us Bears fans we...
Someone please think of the children of Chicago and spare them from Matt Nagy's coaching
Can Bears’ head coach Matt Nagy do anything right? The supposed “offensive genius” currently has Chicago ranking second to last in total offense — more than 20 yards behind the third-worst team, Seattle — and tied WITH DETROIT for the third-fewest points scored in the NFL this season. Nagy has more ...
Justin Fields played well last week, and the Bears need to do everything in their power to give him the best opportunity to improve tonight
It was there at Soldier Field last Sunday. It didn’t result in a win, but it was there. The electricity, the oohs, the aahs, the dazzling, the breathtaking type of football that Bears fans have been clawing at their walls waiting to see from quarterback Justin Fields....
Justin Fields said the NFL game was ‘slow’ in the preseason — the Cleveland Browns sacked him 9 times on Sunday
Justin Fields’ mouth wrote a check that his ass couldn’t cash. And on Sunday, the Bears rookie quarterback found out that the NFL is full of bank tellers....
Bears fans should be freaking out about Week 1
The old adage is that fans shouldn’t read too much into Week 1 of NFL play....
Is Matt Nagy trying to cover his ass by sticking with Andy Dalton?
As of right now, three of the five quarterbacks taken in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft are starting: Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville (1), Zach Wilson in New York (2), and Mac Jones in New England (15). All three of them were chosen to take over as the starting QBs for their respective teams ...
Yo, Bears: Please don't feed Justin Fields to the wolves
Did the league not learn anything from Joe Burrow’s catastrophic knee injury last season?...
Mitch Trubisky is trippin’
Former Chicago first-round pick Mitchell (Don’t call me Mitch) Trubisky has finally moved on from da Bears to a team where he claims people want him and care about his progression — leading to the obvious inference that his previous team, in fact, did not. ...
Matt Nagy being on the hot seat in Chicago makes zero sense (to non-Bears fans)
When the Chicago Bears shocked the NFL world by trading up nine spots to select Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields with the 11th overall pick, the entire football world applauded Chicago for such a great move. The lack of a consistent starting quarterback had been the biggest elephant on the Bears...
Who’s got the best odds to walk away with NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?
Let me start by saying that I am no betting wizard. However, when it comes to NFL rookies, I like to think that I know my shit. I have studied these players endlessly, have spent entirely too much time thinking about their landing spots and their potential impacts on the field, and have daydreamed a...
Hey Chicago Bears, could you not screw up Justin Fields?
The Chicago Bears have their quarterback of the future in Justin Fields. Nobody really questions that. I certainly don’t. However, the question remains — how long before he takes over, and are the Bears even capable of effectively developing a quarterback?...
Ex-Bear Steve ‘Mongo’ McMichael is battling ALS and ‘declining quickly’
Former Bears great Steve “Mongo” McMichael is battling ALS — also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease — according to multiple reports this morning, including one from Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune, who said McMichael is said to be “declining quickly.”...
Can properly kicked, as Andy Dalton will not fix a single problem for the Bears

Quit insulting Bears fans’ intelligence, they know this debacle is Nagy’s fault
The Bears are going nowhere fast....
The Bears’ offense should be ashamed for torturing the kids watching on Nickelodeon
I feel sorry for every child who tuned in to that Bears-Saints game Sunday evening. They deserved better than to see Mitch Trubisky and Matt Nagy completely wreck the Bears offense. Those two probably decreased the team’s end-zone “slime probability” by more than 50 percent by themselves....
Jaguars fans brave COVID to root for Bears
It’s gotten so bad in Jacksonville, that it’s good....
Which 2-0 NFL teams were frauds? An investigation revisited
