Bearing Down For The Long Haul: Lovie Is Here to Stay…

Posted: 9th November 2009 by Max Kienzler in NFL
... Whether we like it or not. After this weekend's latest embarrassment in Soldier Field to Kurt Warner and the Arizona Cardinals (who were coming off a bad loss to the Panthers last week, in which Warner threw five interceptions) the Bears have cemented themselves as a team that opposing offenses are salivating to play.á Warner made amends for his pitiful display against the Panthers by tossing five touchdowns versus the Bears, ...

Chicago: A Tale Of Two Bears

Posted: 4th November 2009 by Max Kienzler in NFL
The Chicago Bears defense: a riddle trapped in an enigma. Being a Chicago Bears fan is difficult at times (actually being a Chicago sports fan this decade has been rough), but the Bears are seemingly on a never ending rollercoaster. Against the Bengals, the defense did not even bother to show up, allowing Cincinnati to score on their first seven possessions and humiliating them in a game that the Bears defense should ...

Lovie Smith: On the Hot Seat in Chicago?

Posted: 27th October 2009 by Max Kienzler in NFL
Lovie Smithùthe man who led the Chicago Bears back to the Super Bowl. The man who made his priorities clear on his first day, No. 1 being to beat Green Bay, and I agreed with every one of them. The man with the voice of calm and reason. The man who has led the Bears to a regular season record of 48-38 since he took over. ...and I am calling for his job to ...
The Chicago Bears are not a playoff team. End of story. The Bears got destroyed today, 45-10 by Cedric Benson, Carson Palmer and the Cincinnati Bengals. This in a game that the Bears defense should have been keyed up for after all the smack talk that both Cedric Benson and Chad Johnson let loose (his name is Chad Johnson ... I don't care what is on the back of his jersey). I am ...
Really Cedric? You don't think it had anything to do with your trouble with the law and your poor stats? While Cedric Benson's play on the field has shown signs of improvement and maturity with the Cincinnati Bengals, his conversation with the Chicago media on Wednesday showed howáhe isástilláthe sameáperson we all knew and grew to dislike when he was a Chicago Bear. Several different sources, including Zach Zaidman from WSCR 670 ...

Memo to Lovie Smith: End the Frank Omiyale Experiement Now

Posted: 20th October 2009 by Max Kienzler in NFL
On the very first day of free agency, Chicago Bears' General Manager Jerry Angelo jumped out and signed free agent offensive lineman Frank Omiyale from the Carolina Panthers. At the time, the move was applauded for adding some much needed depth to a line that, at times, was shaky. When training camp started, Coach Lovie Smith made it clear that it was an open competition between Omiyale and incumbent Josh Beekman for ...
Initial reactions from the Chicago Bears 21-14 loss at the Atlanta Falcons... Jeff Joniak said it best on the score postgame "Bears lose in a very frustrating way." The Bears played miserable. While Jay Cutler had over 300 yards passing and two touchdowns, he also threw two ugly interceptions. Running back Matt Forte couldn't get it going on the ground game and while a lot had to do with the offensive line, his ...

Dear Jay Cutler, On April 2, 2009 I wrote the following article "Jay Cutler to Chicago: Bad Move Bears" I sat there as the deal was announced to bring you to the Bears and said it was the wrong decision. Here is a direct quote from yours truly, "But let me be clear on this, I hope Jay Cutler becomes a great quarterback with the Bears and leads us to victory. I will cheer ...

Chicago Bears Bye Week Checklist: Five Major Items on the Agenda

Posted: 7th October 2009 by Max Kienzler in NFL
The Bears came flying into their bye week with a 48-24 spanking of the Detroit Lions. Jay Cutler has looked almost inhuman since his week one debacle and the wide receivers that were supposed to be the weakest part of the offense have put together a solid season to this point. So, with the bye week upon them and a game back down in Atlanta to follow, here is what the ...
