Victory needs to be in the Bears vocabulary come tomorrow night. The once 3-1 Bears have lost four out of their last five, and two games they didn’t just lose; they were flat out embarrassed.
This picture in the article shows the Bears’ goal line stand against the Philadelphia Eagles last season on Sunday night. The Bears hung on to win that game, with Matt Forte struggling to get anything going on the ground, but leading the team in receiving yards. That sounds a lot like last week, wh... Read Full Story

The 5-11, 212-pound Bell ran for 1,741 yards and 17 touchdowns and averaged 4.4 yards per carry over his four-year career with the UCLA Bruins (as pictured).

“He’s a different type of receiver. He’s a different target for me.” Those are the words that Bears quarterback Jay Cutler used to describe 6′2″ wide receiver Devin Aromashodu.
I simply call him the other “Devin”, because his last name is so hard to pronounce, but seriously Jay Cutler is right, Aromashodu is a different target for him. Cutler needs a big guy out their other than Greg Olsen catching passes. His current set of wide receivers, Hes... Read Full Story

Former Bears quarterback Rex Grossman is currently the backup to Matt Schaub in Houston, but that doesn’t mean his father doesn’t still watch the Chicago Bears. His father Dan quickly defended Jay Cutler and compared it to how Rex was in his time with the Bears.
Here’s what he had to say:
“It’s a self-perpetuating problem that is not Jay Cutler’s fault,” said Dan Grossman, who played quarterback at Indiana in the ’60s. “It’s not Rex ... Read Full Story

Tommie Harris, who by the way recorded his first sack of the season last Thursday night against the 49ers spoke up after practice about the Bears current situation:
‘When I say the wall is on our back, that’s what that means, we have to win out. We have no room to get any more losses. If you lose again, you’re going to be hoping that another team loses for you to get in. You don’t want to be in that position. We were in that position last year. It’s basically in ...

The Bears fell to 4-5 on the year, and their playoff hopes basically dissipated, after losing to San Francisco last night.
Jay Cutler was awful. He threw five interceptions, including two in the red zone. A couple of them weren’t his fault, but ultimately, it doesn’t matter.
He leads the NFL with 17 interceptions on the season.
Bears fans are starting to compare Cutler to Rex Grossman. The problem with that is in Rex’s only full season as a Bear in 2006, he threw a total of 20 interceptions.... Read Full Story

The secondary of the Bears is very banged up with Kevin Payne ruled out and Al Afalava questionable after not practicing all week. Nathan Vasher might see... Read Full Story

49ers tight end Vernon Davis thinks the 49ers offense can crush the Bears struggling defense. Davis has 20 catches and four touchdowns, since the 49ers replaced Shaun Hill and inserted Alex Smith as their quarterback.
Here’s what Davis had to say:
“I think we can destroy their front, the guys up front, I think we can destroy them. I don’t see anything spectacular about their front line. Their linebackers, I think we can handle them pretty well. I like (Adewale) Ogunleye. I like the way ... Read Full Story
