It’s the same old song and dance, start slow, gain just enough momentum to become mediocre and then crumble under pressure. This recipe for disaster has plagued the Bears in at least half their games in 2009 which makes you wonder, is Lovie Smith properly getting his team ready to compete every Sunday? When Green [...]
Chicago Bears Week In Review: Rams @ Bears
What I Predicted: Week 13: vs. St. Louis (FOX) Forte dominated the Rams last year in St Louis and it wont be any different this season. Pace gets revenge and the bears roll 41 to 16. What Happened: Bears 17, Rams 9 Well this was obviously the least attractive game of week 12 on paper [...]
Chicago Bears Week In Review: Browns @ Bears
What I Predicted: Week 8: vs. Cleveland (CBS) The Browns are in a rebuilding mode and the Bears should be in a large defeat for the Browns at home. Brady Quinn is not nearly enough to lead the browns. Forte should have another 100+ plus yard effort as the Bears cruise 33 to 20. What [...]
Chicago Bears Week In Review: Bears @ Bengals
What I Predicted: Week 7: @ Cincinnati (FOX) Three of the next four should be cupcakes for the Bears including this one. Ochocinco will not be enough to beat this Bears team, as Cedric Benson will do more to stop the run than the bears D will. Bears 27, Bengals 17. What Happened: Bengals 45, [...]
Chicago Bears Week In Review: Bears @ Atlanta
What I Predicted: Week 6: @ Atlanta (Sunday Night Football) The Bears will try to exact revenge for a last second loss in 2008 that could have put the Bears in the playoffs at seasons end but Ryan, Turner and White are just too much at home for them to overcome. Falcons 34, Bears 26. [...]
Chicago Bears Week In Review: Bears vs. Lions
What I Predicted: Week 4: vs. Detroit (FOX) Jay Cutler will explode in his first of two monster games against the Lions in 2009. Once the Bears get out to a big lead in the first half, Forte will carry it home with a 120+ yard effort. Stafford may be the answer in Detroit but [...]
Chicago Bears Week In Review: Bears vs Seahawks
What I Predicted: Week 3: @ Seattle (FOX) The Bears start the weak portion of their schedule with a 3pm start at Seattle. Even with TJ at receiver, the Seabirds don’t have enough to match the new look of the Bears offense. Bears 30, Seahawks 13. What Happened: Bears 25, Seahawks 19 I found myself [...]
Chicago Bears Week In Review: Bears vs. Steelers
What I Predicted: Week 2: vs. Pittsburgh (CBS) Even coming off an emotional win vs. the rival Packers, the Bears will be outmatched by the defending Super Bowl Champs as they will keep the Bears O at bay all day. The Bears D against the run has been suspect and will be called out in [...]
Chicago Bears 2009 Season Preview
Week 1: @ Green Bay (Sunday Night Football) The Bears will begin their season in the public eye for the second straight season this year. I was one of the folks who doubted them against the Colts last year, and I will not do the same this season. Lovie Smith has lived up to his [...]
