Resiliency can carry Bears a long way

2012-09-23 18:14:00

Sometimes the will is more important than the skill. Sunday was one of those times for the Bears. They didn't provide NBC's "Football Night in America" with many highlights. They failed to take advantage of what the Rams were giving their offense....

Status quo won't be good enough for Bears

2012-10-13 14:44:00

The Bears have been pretty good, probably better than most expected. But remaining as good as they have been won't be good enough. As the season moves on and the stakes get higher, the challenges will be steeper, and obstacles are sure to be placed in...

Bears latest problem? Money

2012-11-21 00:00:00

The institutional failure of the Bears offense is even worse than most seem to realize. Not only has it failed to improve in the Jay Cutler era, the team has overpaid for that failure. An offseason investment of tens of millions of dollars has done...

Bears must resolve 'communication' issues

2012-08-25 18:18:00

We should not get too excited or upset about anything we see on a football field before the start of the regular season, with the possible exception of the Democratic National Convention at the Panthers' stadium. But it is a tad concerning that the...

Offensive line lets Chicago Bears down

2012-09-14 00:00:00

GREEN BAY — It's one thing to block the Colts, without Dwight Freeney and with the comforts of playing at home. It's quite another to block the Packers, with Clay Matthews and the thunder that some 70,000 lathered-up Cheesies can create. The...

Can Bears get their own Kalil?

2012-11-24 13:50:00

When the Bears see the Vikings offense Sunday with Matt Kalil lined up at left tackle, they have to be envious. The rookie has been playing great ball, Pro Bowl-level ball, and it appears the Vikings have found a long-term answer at one of the NFL's...

Cowboys Stadium has been kind to Bears

2012-09-26 00:00:00

Dallas is as good a place as any to burst through the growing frustration surrounding the Bears stalled offense. "We can't be up and down like a roller coaster,'' wide receiver Devin Hester said. "We have to get a winning streak going — at least...

Power-O the way to go

2012-10-27 22:17:00

The Bears can lean on the base running game inside of the red zone and attack the Panthers when they show a seven-man front Sunday at Soldier Field as a two-back power scheme will create a running lane for Matt Forte. As shown here, the Bears have their...

Competition for playing time boosting Bears

2012-09-27 18:13:00

The bench players that general manager Phil Emery added to the Bears in the offseason did more than improve depth. They improved the front line too. There is little doubt that more intense completion at cornerback, defensive end, defensive tackle,...

Tillman's injury would hurt Bears the most

2012-11-27 06:52:00

Charles Tillman was having himself a game against Minnesota, and it wasn’t even half over. Tillman recovered an Adrian Peterson fumble, tackled receiver Jarius Wright short of a first down and stripped receiver Jerome Simpson of a potential first-...

Even in victory, no easy answers for Bears

2012-08-24 21:45:00

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Bears came to MetLife Stadium on Friday night looking for a couple of answers. Maybe some solutions emerged, but there are still more questions remaining for this team with time for evaluations and Plan B discoveries...

Chilo Rachal shoves down Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh in the fourth quarter.

2012-10-22 00:00:00

Brandon Marshall celebrates his touchdown against the Jaguars with Gabe Carimi and Chilo Rachal during the second half.

2012-10-07 00:00:00

He is 6-5, 323 pounds and he's only 26 years old, but consistency certainly has been an issue. Rachal started 15 games in 2009 and 14 in 2010, but he was replaced on the 49ers' starting offensive line this past season. The former second-round pick has some upside.
