Brian Urlacher watched the debacle up in Minneapolis with his brother and some hotties and made some very interesting comments regarding the Bears season and current situation. Feel free to read the excellent article here. It’s interesting to note that while his teammates are out there getting bent over by Brett Favre…AGAIN, #54 is crawling around his brother’s condo and flashing his pink cast around (ZOMG!). (more…)

It’s not like this visit to the Metrodome was my first. I’ve been to a couple Twins games, a few Gophers baseball games, and hell, I played there twice as a college baseball player. I’ve never made it down for a Gopher football or Vikings games until today. And now I know that God was just looking out for me. God did not want me to go to my first ever Bears game at the Dome, and I failed to heed His warning. (more…)

Midway through the fourth quarter and the Vikings have a rather comfortable 30-10 lead over the Bears. To be honest, I’m not really in to the game, but from the little pieces I have picked up, the following milestones have occurred: Favre threw his 500th career touchdown pass, Cutler threw his league-leading 20th completion to a non-teammate, and for the third-straight week, Lovie Smith made a halftime phone call inquiring about the availability of the head-coaching job at Bethune-Cookman. (more…)

One of the great things about writing with my last blog is that I was exposed to people much, much more creative than yours truly. (Don’t worry, you’ll find out about my lack of creativity very soon). My guy “smudgers” created this gem of a poem and hell, it deserves recognition. (more…)

Talk to Bears fans about who’s mostly to blame for the Bears struggles, and you’re bound to get a variety of answers: Jerry Angelo, Lovie Smith, Bob Babich, Jay Cutler, and Tommie Harris are common responses. A majority of Bears fans will say Ron Turner, though. But, is he the true cause of the Bears’ angst this year? Well…yes and no. (more…)

Meet Gavin Tugana, the latest in a short line of people who will use this blog to bestow knowledge and humor into your sad, miserable lives. And he’s definitely not Nathan Vasher’s mom. Because I know her. She’s sweet. (more…)

The last post of the week: something to ponder as you await the certain couch slouch and booze binge of the Thanksgiving weekend.

We cordially invite thee, Chicago Bears fans everywhere — even sucky states like Oklahoma! — to our humble Web presence, also referred to around these Internets as “Blog Down, Chicago Bears”.

We’ve been around for a little while now, and we’re begging asking everyone who passes through here everyday to read us to start to comment also. Ideally, together we can build a community that is so much more Chris Harris-er, and so much less Adam Archuleta-er than your ordinary Bears message board or fan site.

And look! We even wrote a Commenter’s Guide for you. (more…)

Another name (supposedly?) popped up today in connection to the Bears offensive coordinator position that may or may not actually be open once the season ends: Mike Martz. Seemingly moments afterward, Martz said it was all “crap”. But, the best part about the idea of replacing your management and coaching staff is the Bleacher Report-style reporting that comes out in droves, appearing to indicate that there is no end to the possible candidates. (more…)

If just for a minute, you would be willing to put aside your contempt for trimmed jorts, maddening indecisiveness and oh-gee-golly vernacular, you would surely find that Brett Favre is simply misunderstood. And this newfound reverence toward Favre has absolutely nothing to do with his recent comments calling Jay Cutler “damn good”. Okay, so it has everything to do with that. (more…)

See why here. Seriously though Charles, we aren’t that stupid. We may be demanding and incredibly fickle (as my girlfriend so nicely pointed out on Sunday) but, sir, we are not dimwitted. At least not dumb enough to believe we can still make the playoffs this season. Can someone be that delusional?? Well, Charles Tillman thinks you are, or at least wants you to believe the Bears are. I, for one, do not share his optimism and I’m probably not alone. The last three games have given more than enough reason to look forward to the 2010 NFL Draft that the Bears won’t be participating in. (more…)

As the figurative end to the Bears season is sure to come far before the literal end this year — like now! — the Bears had better figure out what exactly is on the roster. Looking forward to an offseason with a cheap general manager and a lack of high draft picks, there are going to be limited avenues to really land quality projected starters for 2010. (more…)

Honestly, all Bears fans would probably prefer the Super Bowl-winning, square-jawed head coach to the frustratingly stoic Lovie Smith. To watch the franchise painfully stagnate in mediocrity isn’t fun, but swapping head coaches isn’t the most important coaching change to make. Besides, Bill Cowher to the Bears isn’t likely to go down anyway. (more…)
