Chicago Bears keys to an upset of Green Bay Packers
When the Bears last saw the Green Bay Packers, they had little hope of pulling off an upset. This was the Packers defense the analysts anticipated as top 10 or top 5, and dominant. It was the double-edged running game of Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon and, of course, it was the quarterback who owns the Bears, Aaron Rodgers. The receiver corps was different without Davante Adams but Rodgers made it work and the Bears didn’t need have much to answer with as Justin Fields hadn’t yet begun to terrorize defenses with his running. The three-headed Bears rushing attack hadn’t formed. Fast forward to now and much is different. The…

Justin Jones Warned The NFL After Bears D Shut Down Browns
The big story of the Chicago Bears‘ preseason finale was Justin Fields. Rightfully so. The young quarterback was outstanding, going 14-of-16 for 158 yards and three touchdowns. It was the kind of performance fans have waited for, preseason or not. He had every right to enjoy the spotlight. However, he wasn’t the only one who enjoyed a good night against the Cleveland Browns. So did defensive tackle Justin Jones. He had a tackle for loss in the first half and harassed the quarterback multiple times, demonstrating why the Bears worked hard to sign him in March. He wasn’t the only one. Several members of the defense enjoyed a solid first…

Chicago Bears Predicted To Win One Game In 2022
The Chicago Bears aren’t going to be a contender this year. No self-respecting fan believes that. Yet to hear so many experts predict the team will finish as maybe the worst in the NFL feels a bit over the top. They’ve already been projected to contend for the #1 overall pick in the 2023 draft by two different sources. Belief is widespread that new GM Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus are sacrificing this year to improve their long-term prospects. The Bears already have $90+ million in salary cap space coming their way next off-season. A bad record in 2022 would also secure them a top 5 draft pick.…

One Creative Way Ryan Poles Can Fix Bears O-Line Problem
When it comes to the Chicago Bears offensive line this offseason, new GM Ryan Poles opted for quantity over quality. He added no fewer than five new veterans via free agency and five rookies between the draft and undrafted free agency. His hope seems to be that offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and offensive line coach Chris Morgan will be able to sift through that group of newcomers and find some hidden gems to help piece together a cohesive blocking front for Justin Fields. People aren’t convinced it will work. Poles is relying too much on chance. It feels like much of his plan hinged on being able to land…

Chicago Bears Scouts Give Fascinating Insight To 2022 Draft
Chicago Bears fans love the draft season. It’s one of their most treasured times of the year. Many of them dabble in the process, evaluating prospects coming out of college and determining which ones they like best. Yet they can’t understand how much actual work team scouts put into the process. Everything from the endless hours of watching tape to traveling across the country. It is a 24/7/365 grind. What makes it all the more interesting is their process when watching players. So much of it depends on the time and the event. Everything serves a purpose, from watching the games on film to attending the Senior Bowl and the…

Bears Coach Explains Why Jaquan Brisker Kinda Terrifies Him
Jaquan Brisker doesn’t carry the reputation of being a dirty player. Yet that doesn’t seem to have stopped some people from becoming a bit warier of the rookie safety. Back in the 2000s, Charles Tillman revolutionized the defensive back position when he became an artist at forcing fumbles. His Peanut Punch became mandatory learning for many. One person found out that those fists could do more than punch footballs. Brandon Marshall got into a fight with him once and instantly regretted it. Now it sounds like Brisker has a similar aptitude. Nicholas Morrow revealed this week that the rookie already has two forced fumbles in practice, leading by example in…
