I have only been a Chicago Bears fan now for about five years, four years if you count my closely keeping up with them. It seems to me that unless you have been through some really dark periods in your life, you can't appreciate what a sports team means to you. That can be stated in my case with the Bears. Let me tell you about my relationship and love affair with the franchise. I began to "keep my eyes and ears open" to the Bears in 2005 when they made their run to a division ...
Bears bye, I was in the St. Louis area, and I was forced to watch the Rams-Panthers game. Hammer v. BearfanMike BFM’s highest scorer was his kicker, but he got solid production all around for the win. Hammer was hurt by small lines from KLee Evans, Roy Williams, and Vernon Davis. BFM—101 Hammer—78 Globe of Frogs v. Nick Nick seems content with letting his drafted team stand, regardless of IR or byes. Globe of Frogs gets the win, easily, if somewhat ...
After a horrible weekend (flat tire, health issues, Bears loss, 2 fantasy losses), I am ready to turn the page and focus on next week. But here’s what happened in week 6. Boocheeman v. BearfanMike BFM got a big break when Desean Jackson went down, opening up a path for Jeremy Maclin to have a huge day, and at the expense of Shady McCoy (Boochee). A nice line from Ryan Torain covered for another goose-egg from Greg Olsen. Boochee got a good day from Kolb, but Randy Moss and ...
Think they should win? Think they should lose? You are wrong either way. No matter what you think should happen, the Bears will do the exact opposite. That's why I mentioned that Seattle was a trap game. We SHOULD have won. They had a terrible pass defense. They couldn't run the ball. We SHOULD have exploited both. Maybe this week we SHOULD lose to the Redskins. I'll wait to see what direction the fickle finger of fandom points on the site and in the media. Seemingly ...
These next two games are trap games. You know, ones where the Bears (and their fans in particular) feel overconfident about their ability to win. Seattle is still a bit of a mystery. Coach USC has still not developed the "pattern" of behavior that is easily predicted by opponents. The pickup of Marshawn Lynch isn't being talked about, and his skill set meshs well with the way that Carroll likes to utilize his RB's. Frankly, I think we will see a fair amount of delayed screens ...
