Chicago Bears show they weren’t an actual playoff teamVincent Pariseon January 11, 2021 at 3:00 pm
The Chicago Bears showed that they didn’t deserve to be in the playoffs. The Chicago Bears had the strangest of strange seasons this year. They started off well, played horribly in the middle, and finished somewhat strong. Of course, they backed into the playoffs with an 8-8 record thanks to some help from the Arizona […]

Chicago Bears: Three starters to consider trading after 2020 seasonon January 11, 2021 at 1:00 pm
The Chicago Bears should consider trading some of their stars during this upcoming offseason.
The Chicago Bears had an incredibly strange season in 2020. You all know by now about how they started 5-1, then lost six straight, then won three of their last four to become an 8-8 playoff team. They were the seventh seed in the NFC postseason which landed them a date with the New Orleans Saints. That game did not go well for Chicago and they were beaten handily by the Saints and eliminated for the season. Going into 2021, it is pretty clear that some changes are needed.

Chicago Bears: Heads should roll at Halas Hall after playoff exitRyan Heckmanon January 11, 2021 at 12:00 pm
The Chicago Bears must act swiftly in effort to make drastic change this offseason. What on earth was that showing Chicago Bears fans saw in the NFC Wildcard on Sunday? In short, it was exactly what fans have seen all season long. Nothing that happened in the loss to the New Orleans Saints should have […]

Bears coach Matt Nagy befuddled by TE Cole Kmet’s unsportsmanlike-conduct penaltyJason Lieseron January 11, 2021 at 3:53 am
Fair or not, Kmet’s flag dropped the Bears out of reach of the end zone with a third-and-24.
Rookie tight end Cole Kmet, who already has a reputation for being one of the Bears’ headiest players, was flagged for a costly unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty that derailed the team’s bid for a touchdown early in the second quarter of its 21-9 loss to the Saints.
Down 7-0, Mitch Trubisky’s quick pass to him got the Bears to the Saints’ 9-yard line, but field judge Nathan Jones flagged him for throwing the ball at safety Malcolm Jenkins after the play. On replay, it was clear Kmet flipped the ball over Jenkins to Jones the way players typically do. He was incredulous at the penalty.
“I was told that he was throwing the ball to the player, like he was taunting,” said coach Matt Nagy, who hadn’t seen a replay yet. “I was confused as to what happened… When Cole says he was throwing the ball to the ref, until I see it, I’ve got to believe what he was saying.”
The penalty set the Bears back to a third-and-20 from the 24-yard line.
Kmet was not made available to the media after the game. He finished with three catches for 16 yards.

Chicago Bears are who we thought they were all season longRyan Heckmanon January 11, 2021 at 2:22 am
The 2020 Chicago Bears showed their true colors in an NFC Wildcard loss on Sunday. Sunday afternoon, one Chicago Bears fan told me these exact words: “This game is enough to make me hate the game of football.” That about sums it up for the 2020 Bears. Once labeled the “worst 5-1 team in history,” […]
