The Fog Bowl – 20 years later

I thought I’d take little field trip while breaking down the disappointing 2008 Bears and go back to the good old days.  Old Doc Brown is at it again.  The Delorean takes us back 20 years ago today to the Bears-Eagles playoff game, known simply as The Fog Bowl.  I remember trying to watch this [...]

Chicago Bears 2008 Season in Review – Defense

First off, check out Jerry Angelo’s comments of the Bears defense from his season ending press conference  here from the Bears website.
If you think the arrow is pointing up for the Bears’ offense, the once-heralded defense is another story.  Long gone is the defense that carried the Bears to Super Bowl XLI.   The defense that [...]

Chicago Bears 2008 Season in Review – Offense

Now that the dust has settled a bit, let’s take a closer look at the offense and where it finished so we can evaluate where to go from here.
Quarterback
Kyle Orton manned the most important position on the field admirably for the better part of the season, though he wasn’t quite the same after the ankle [...]

Bears Stumble Across Finish Line

Behind Enemy Lines – Week 17

In Behind Enemy Lines, I sneak into enemy territory to get the lowdown on the Bears’ next opponent and do the dirty work so you don’t have to.  This week sends me to Houston, so insert your steers and queers joke here.   I don’t know what it is, but it seems like every opponent in [...]

Dear Santa,
I have been a really, really good Bears fan this year.  I never missed a game and even ignored some of the obvious faults of my favorite team.  Some people say you’re not real, but they’re from Green Bay, so [...]

Week 16 Game Notes

Check out this highlight package from NFL Network.  At first it seems like a Packers highlight reel, but that’s just because of their early dominance of this contest.  I love Jeff Joniak’s calls.  No, he’s not a homer.  Neither are Ron Santo and Hawk Harrelson.
Now that the dust has settled and I’ve fully thawed out, I’ve [...]

Stayin’ Alive

Sorry it’s taken me a while to get this post up; I’ve been busy thawing out.  Thanks to the generosity of the fine folks at Marconi Foods (www.marconi-foods.com), I was able to attend the coldest game in Bears history.  Not even the hottest giardiniera in Chicago could keep me from freezing my butt off. 
With as [...]
