And so it ends, not with a bang but with an interception. Which is pretty much the football equivalent of a whimper, I suppose. The Chicago Bears lost to the Green Bay Packers 33-28 Sunday at Soldier Field. Which means the Packer go home to Lambeau Field as NFC North champs for the first round […]
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is returning to the Green Bay Packers lineup for the first time since Nov. 4 when he suffered a broken collarbone on a tackle by Chicago Bears defensive lineman Shea McClellin. The Packers made the announcement Thursday regarding Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Bears at Soldier Field. Asked what the return of […]
Monday meanderings: Going into their game Sunday in Philadelphia, the Chicago Bears knew the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers had lost. Meaning all the Bears needed to win the NFC North was to defeat the Eagles (who had lost the previous Sunday to Minnesota, the cellar dweller in the NFC North). Coming out of […]
Monday meanderings: The Chicago Bears’ 38-31 victory Sunday against the host Cleveland Browns featured Jay Cutler playing poorly early and excellently late. Meaning that both his detractors and supporters had a chance to see why they are right and wrong to be so intransigent in their position. * A brief timeout for the generally inflexible […]
Thanks to the fine folks at Bovada, (www.Bovada.lv, Twitter: @BovadaLV), we have an abundance of NFL-related odds material. Purely for entertainment purposes, of course.

The one thing you can say about the Bears […]
Monday meanderings: The only way Chicago Bears coach Marc Trestman’s decision to keep quarterback Jay Cutler in Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field makes perfect sense — but only if Trestman wants someone other than Cutler as his quarterback in 2014. Cutler took a pounding from the Detroit defense that would have […]
Random thoughts (or as close as we come around here to thinking) in the aftermath of a Monday night football game featuring the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers: If nothing else, the Bears’ 27-20 victory at Green Bay showed the Packers aren’t as good without quarterback Aaron Rodgers as they are with him. Big […]
Monday meanderings: Perhaps the best thing about Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler’s groin injury — suffered Sunday during the second quarter of a 45-41 loss to the Washington Redskins — is the Bears have a bye week coming up. Assuming the injury that can heal in time to face the Packers at Green Bay on […]
Monday meanderings: What more could Chicago Bears fans want than for quarterback Jay Cutler to pass for more yards than New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees in Sunday’s matchup at Soldier Field? Or for Alshon Jeffery to set a record for receiving yards by a Bear? Or for the Bears defense to end Brees’ streak […]
