Bear Miscues Cost Them Against The Falcons

Posted: 19th October 2009 by Nathan Venegas in NFL
Miscues cost the Bears a shot at beating the Falcons. The defense for the most part was able to keep most of the Falcons weapons in check and avoid from breaking the game open. A few big plays by Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez led to touchdowns and kept the momentum on the side of the Falcons. Matt Ryan played almost flawlessly throughout the game. He responded to pressure, reading the coverage and ...

Bears-Falcons Week Six Preview

Posted: 14th October 2009 by Nathan Venegas in NFL
The Bears look to avenge last seasonÆs last second loss when they take on the Falcons. Lovie Smith has gone on record to say that he wonÆt be using last seasonÆs loss to Atlanta to motivate his team heading into Sunday NightÆs game. Luckily he wonÆt have to; IÆm sure most of the team are still sore from that loss (along with a couple others) and will use it to motivate themselves. The ...

Chicago Bears Quarter Season Report

Posted: 6th October 2009 by Nathan Venegas in NFL
Coach Lovie Smith likes to divide the season into quarters, so here are my thoughts on the Bears as they complete the first quarter of their schedule. Offense Ron Turner has had to think of ways to utilize Jay CutlerÆs strengths while also keeping the offense balanced. That balance has yet to be reached so far this season but it is promising to see the Bears execute a safe but effective game ...

Chicago Bears-Detroit Lions: Week Four Preview

Posted: 30th September 2009 by Nathan Venegas in NFL
You should never take any team for granted in the NFL, which goes double for teams within your division. The Lions have been the subject of many a joke over the past few seasons but after a productive offseason it looks like they understand the mistakes made during the Matt Millen Era and are slowly moving in the right direction. The biggest offseason acquisition the Lions made not named Matthew Stafford was ...

Chicago-Seattle: Bears Quiet Qwest Field

Posted: 27th September 2009 by Nathan Venegas in NFL
Winning in Qwest Field is no easy featùespecially with the lime green uniformsùbut the Bears pull it off against the scrappy Seahawks. The once-deep line backing corps of the Bears is looking a little thin now after Hunter Hillenmeyer was taken out of the game with sore ribs. Not only were the Seahawks able to run on the Bears defense, they were able to make completions down the field. Seahawks quarterback Seneca ...

Bears-Seahawks Week Three

Posted: 24th September 2009 by Nathan Venegas in NFL
The Bears head out west to noisy Quest Field to take on the Seattle Seahawks. Against a tough Steeler offense the Bears defense held up well enough and made plays when it had to. Pressuring the quarterback always bodes well for your team and that will need to continue no matter who lines up under center for the banged up Seahawks. Matt Hasselbeck has a fractured rib and will play if cleared ...

Bears-Steelers: Week Two

Posted: 16th September 2009 by Nathan Venegas in NFL
It doesn’t get any easier as the Steelers come into Soldier Field for Jay Cutler’s home debut. The Bears offense needs to get the run game established before airing it out with Jay Cutler. Matt Forte, and now Garrett Wolfe, will have to get off to fast starts to ignite a Bears offense that had almost nothing going for it against the Packers. The absence of Troy Polamalu hurts Pittsburgh as much ...

Bears Fall to The Pack

Posted: 14th September 2009 by Nathan Venegas in NFL
Baptism by fire, Cutler and the Bears struggle against Green Bay. Going into the season two of the biggest concerns with the Bears were their inexperience at the wide receiver position and the secondary and both were exploited against the Pack. With pressure in his face the entire first half Cutler never got into a rhythm with any of his receivers. Being forced out of the pocket Cutler made some ...
