Pretty remarkable how much history Soldier Field has seen.

Great article with lots of pictures.

I don't think the WR depth is good enough to just dump Allen for anything less than a first or early second. Plus, 1. It's a bad look to give up on one of your rookie QBs favorite targets 2. They gave up a 4th to get him, so getting even a 3rd back is barely a profit 3. The Bears aren't 0-4/1-3 and ...

Bears make work of the Panthers, despite them being obnoxiously difficult at times (or the Bears making it hard on themselves, more likely).

No.

The brilliance, so to speak, of putting Kramer at fullback is that it demonstrates several things: 1. Willingness to improvise 2. Working with the available roster to maximize opportunity 3. Understanding the core essence of football And number 3 can be further simplified as, "we're going to se...

Does anyone want to talk about the blocking looking better once Teven was out for the game? Yeah, that's a little...odd. Has he been playing hurt or did that just occur right when he left? He has PFF graded out respectably (not at his usual level, but nothing to be embarrassed about). I think a lot...

This is an insane throw

I think the most impressive thing is he just stood in the pocket with it collapsing around him, no panic, and threw a dime. That was crazy.

He had a few of those. Love seeing his composure.

GAME BALLS - Matt Pryor, for having a strong game at a position he's learning on the job - Caleb Williams, for continuing his growth, making some dazzling passes, and not turning the ball over despite being under some pressure - Shane Waldron for ditching a ton of his playbook and emphasizing vertic...

Man, I am not handling these games well this season. Maybe time for a mental health break? Seasons really not been that bad considering our history... I'm going to be on a trip for a stretch soon and will miss a game, so that should help. I think I had too much hope going into the season and let my...

Man, I am not handling these games well this season.

This season is well and truly over, lads. Coaches are fired and Williams is compromised.

I don't know what he could or will be, but whatever it is, it won't be with the Bears.

But in good news:

The NCAA did this to themselves. After years of exploitation and shady dealings that benefit only the upper crust of these schools, the players finally have agency, and acts like these are part of it. Go get paid, young guns. We went from one completely screwed up system to a system that is complet...

The turnstile at RG is killing Wright’s development. He’s going to go be a pro bowler somewhere else where he can play next to someone who knows what they’re doing and will give you 15-17 games a season.

I appreciate that he's at least falling on the sword for his own BS.

Considering how, by Flus standards, he was pretty unhappy with the playcalling last Sunday, and that Caleb's reportedly being more involved in the offensive gameplan, I expect some pretty reasonable changes to how the Bears look against the Rams.

Football-wise, he was a tough nut to crack who owned the Bears for the most part. Off the field he was a great storyteller, OK ambassador of the game. As a person he made a lot of awful decisions that negatively impacted many lives beyond his own. Parkinson's is sadistic, and I wish him well with it...

This is what having Reinsdorf as your owner gets you.

Bears should probably lose this game, so I'll predict they win.

As one with a Masters in Agronomy, just remember grass is a big parasite. Feed and weed, water, you're just creating more work as it grows quite happily. If you insist on growing it (not a native meadow or clover spread), see if the soils in your area are acidic (most probable) and apply lime. Addi...

Horns: Poles for hiring Eberflus, overpaying Swift and Davis, wasting draft capital on Bates and potentially Allen, and being emotionally tied to dumpsters like Jones. Eberflus for being in the NFL for years and years but still having no control of his staff, awful decision making (both in game and...
