Best Chicago Bears wins each year since 2000

By: Alex Patt

The Chicago Bears have had a fair share of great wins and bad losses over the past two decades. Sadly there have been more bad losses than great wins, but each season usually features at least one win that is memorable. Even in the seasons they win as few as three or four games.

So without further ado lets go year-by-year from 2000-2019 and pick one win from a selected season that…

By Thomas Gibbons

We have a decision.

As reported by Jeff Passan of ESPN.com Wednesday morning, Kris Bryant lost his grievance and will not become a free agent until after the 2021 season.

Now, we await what the Cubs will decide to do with Bryant. With this ruling settled, his trade value cannot be ignored. Two years of team control over one was what the Cubs and possible trade suitors…

Blackhakws notebook: Kubalik taking off, Toews an overtime machine, Lehner and Crawford's future, and more

By Thomas Gibbons

Over .500…again

It’s been a rollercoaster ride these past few weeks for the Blackhawks. Its two steps forward and one step back. Beating Colorado and Winnipeg on the road was impressive yet you do not show up against the Devils at home? One of the weirdest games to date. Since that embarrassment though, the Blackhawks are 6-3 including Tuesday night’s overtime winner off…

Like Cubs Bears Having a Reckoning particularly Offensively

Now that the Bears are officially out of the playoffs it’s time to pick apart the carcass that is the 2019 Bears season. Everything the Bears do from here on out will be towards rebounding from a season that began with high hopes and ended on a frozen Lambeau field with a thud. All that’s left is evaluation and development. I expect more reserve players to play a higher amount of snaps and…

Chicago Bears: A Painful Decade of "Almost"

Chicago Bears: A Painful Decade of “Almost”

By: Alex Patt

The Chicago Bears playoff hopes were all but dashed on Sunday afternoon in their 21-13 loss up in Green Bay. It all ended when Allen Robinson was wide open on a lateral and the man with the ball, TE Jesper Horsted, did not see him and was tackled short of the endzone. Yet another “Close but no Cigar” moment for the Bears.

Now the best the Bears can do is 9-7 and at least hope for…

Nomar Mazara an upgrade, but doesn't move the needle on its own

Nomar Mazara an upgrade, but doesn’t move the needle on its own

By Luke Stanczyk

You might have been asleep at around 11:00 p.m. last night, but Rick Hahn was awake on the West Coast making a deal. The White Sox sent their sixth ranked prospect in their system, Steele Walker, to the Texas Rangers for left-handed hitting right fielder Nomar Mazara.

“At just 24 years old, Nomar provides us with a left-handed hitting right fielder who fits into our current…

Answering some very important questions about the Chicago Bears

By Thomas Gibbons and Johnny Hatelak

Thomas Gibbons and Johnny Hatelak tackle some questions surrounding the Chicago Bears in this joint post.

Q: Does Mitch Trubisky’s performance over the course of the Bears current three game win streak change your overall opinion on him?

Johnny Hatelak: A little. I always knew he could perform well in a 2-read progression offense with emphasis on…

Despite Recent Stretch, Quarterback Still Bears Biggest Need

Yes, Mitch Trubisky has played well recently and the Bears have 3 wins out of their last 4 games. However, the larger sample size says that this is fool’s gold. I won’t even go with the fact he has played his best ball against two of the worst defenses in the league in those last four. The one loss was against a good defense in the Rams and Trubisky played terribly in that game.

However,…

BREAKING: Jerry Reinsdorf to “turn the heat up” on General Manager Gar Forman

By Thomas Gibbons

This report is music to many Bulls fans ears.

From Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times:

According to several sources, Bulls board chairman Jerry Reinsdorf is not only livid about the team’s 6-12 start and the continued sinking outside optics of the organization, but is beginning to turn his attention to the job security of general manager Gar Forman if the ship keeps…

Jordan Love may be in Range for Bears

Jordan Love has as much physical talent as any Quarterback in his class. You don’t need to be a master talent evaluator to see that. He has the size, arm, and athleticism to compete at the next level. He also plays in a pro style system and exhibits leadership abilities. He’s poised and calm in the pocket and will climb to get throws off without fear.

He can also throw on the move with nice…

The United Center lately feels like the "House Opposing Stars Built"

The United Center lately feels like the “House Opposing Stars Built”

By: Alex Patt

It was roughly a week ago when the Chicago Bulls suffered a crushing defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers in a game they lead by double digits throughout most of it. For three quarters the Bulls were draining three-pointers and suffocating stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis defensively. A huge run to start the fourth quarter by the Lakers erased the 19-point Bulls lead in the blink of…

Forget about Cam Newton, or Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Phillip Rivers, or Teddy Bridgewater. Definitely forget about Marcus Mariotta or Andy Dalton. For one, they’ll be somewhat costly and likely require multiple year contracts. There is a more cost effective move and that is the Kansas City’s backup who by the way has played well in his starts in place of injured Pat Mahomes.

By Thomas Gibbons
