Is it too early to panic yet? (I feel like ESPN when their beloved Yankees/Lakers/Cowboys/Giants/Jets lose the first game of the season.) I am starting to wonder if other fans are ready to hit the big red button. Apparently, I’m not alone (sort of). (more…)

Its a slow Bears news day, sue us. I did find this article noteworthy mainly because the Bears O-line was one of the main offenders for the 7-9 season last year. Tice claims he will keep it simple and it all starts with “securing the A-gap” and moving onto “giving the quarterback a chance to set his feet”. All of Tice’s protections start “from inside out–and work in that direction.” (more…)
It has been coming for quite some time now, but, today, the Bears finally made it official; announcing that they had hired Tim Ruskell to be their new director of player personnel. If you’re a regular here, you already know what we think.
Because Mark Anderson is supposedly ready to handle the full-time defensive end gig and, you know, not completely fall to pieces this time, Alex Brown is on the trading block! And with that proclamation, Jerry Angelo has taken all his goodwill and fed it to his asshole. (more…)
It is believed that former Seahawks GM, Tim Ruskell, will inevitably be named the Bears’ new director of player personnel. To celebrate, we thought we’d uncover gems about this man from the Internet in a new feature we’re calling “Blurbs About Ruskell.” (more…)

Basically, any coach that was considered to be qualified — minus Tice — for any of the vacant Bears coaching positions, has been turned away. The Bears weren’t “blown away” by Chargers tight end coach Rod Chudzinski and now Marvin Lewis isn’t allowing quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese to be considered at OC any longer because, in his words, that opportunity has “kind of closed up, and I don’t think Lovie (Smith) has made a decision on what he wants to do yet.” (more…)
As if this was a surprise: the Bears are having a bit of trouble getting candidates for the OC position. Let’s be honest here: you are asking someone to come coach a team that has a decrepit offensive line, thus no pass protection or running game, a bunch of third-tier receivers (AS OF NOW…yes, we will give it time like we have for the last four years; Hester is this close to being a legit #1!) and ownership that seems about as willing to change as Harry Reid is to resigning from his current office. BUT WE’VE GOT JAY CUTLER!!!!!!!!!! (more…)
What a game.
Everyone knows what my thought process was going into the game. I wanted the Bears to win oh so badly, but I also attempted to keep myself rooted in reality. My friend, on the other hand, was pulling (and rather staunchly) for the upset win. I attempted to bring him back to Earth, but it didn’t work. I loved the seats we had (sec. 430, 14 rows up). Looking at the stadium map, they look awful. But, as you can see from the view, it offered a great vantage point to watch the plays develop.
It’s really too bad that the Bears were able to finally land in Baltimore. BTW – 125 work-release inmates helped 700 other workers clear the snow from M&T Bank Stadium. Nothing says Christmas drunk like orange jumpsuits.
Moving along…
