The Mike Tice Promotion is Doomed to Fail
That's right, I said doomed. But before you furiously type out some rant-like rebuttal in the comments section, read through my reasoning behind this. And no, it has nothing to do with me disliking Tice as the Bears' offensive coordinator. To err is human; to jump, divine. Tice's promotion to OC...
WCG Key Match-Up: Bears DL vs. Falcons OL
The Bears couldn't have drawn a tougher opening day match-up than last year's #1 seed, the Atlanta Falcons. After the Falcons got shellacked by Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers in the divisional round of the playoffs, they made upgrades on offense and defense. They traded up from the 27th...
Chicago Bears 2011 Position Battles: Defensive Line
The Bears already sprung one big named, albeit not so good, defensive lineman in Vernon Gholston. It was a small price to pay (relatively speaking) to try and catch lightening in a bottle for a former first round draft pick. They still have another 1st round reclamation project in Amobi Okoye,...
FOX Sports: Chicago Bears Organization ranked 14th
Adam Schein, a weekly columnist for FOX Sports.com has his annual NFL Organization Rankings posted for 2011. This list isn't a typical power ranking, instead they grade each team on six somewhat open to interpretation categories. Ownership, quarterback, head coach, front office, coaching staff...
Play of the Game: Week 16 Jets vs. Bears
The NFL Network is counting down the Top 20 games of 2010 and the week 16 match-up between the New York Jets and the Chicago Bears came in 12th on the list. It was the day after Christmas on a snowy and cold day with two tough top 10 defenses taking the field, so of course these two offenses would...
NFL Draft: Bears get Stephen Paea in the 2nd & Chris Conte in the 3rd
I was fired up for the Stephen Paea selection, and, conversely I was dumbfounded by the Chris Conte pick. I didn't look at safety very much in the weeks leading up to the draft, as I didn't think Jerry Angelo was going to take one before the 6th round, if at all. I should have know he'd swerve us...
3 Offensive Coordinators in 3 years for Jay Cutler
This is a subject that's been broached before here on WCG (and one I even tackled), but listening to all the talking heads spew on and on about some of the differences between Jay Cutler and Aaron Rodgers, more specifically how better Rodgers is, I just feel it needs to be said again. Jay...
Seattle at Chicago: Why their week 6 game doesn't matter
Earlier this season in week six, Seattle beat Chicago 23-20, and while I'm sure the Bears coaches will dissect that game film over and over, and over again, they know their team is in a much different place. A much better place. A place with offensive harmony and balance. Seattle is in a...
Teams Finding "New" Hole in Bears Tampa 2
Let me start off by saying that I like the Tampa 2 as a base defense. I've written about it a few times and I've defended it plenty. I think the Bears have the correct personnel to run that D, but like any other defense, it has it's weaknesses that can be exploited by a good offense. Any...
The 10 Most Important Bears in 2010 - #7 Mike Martz
Putting coaches on this list is something I didn't want to do last year, and is something I didn't want to do this year. But with the coaching additions being so potentially impactful the last couple of years, I felt my hands were tied. Last year, Lovie Smith taking over as D.C. ended up being...
