Bears lose 6th straight against Packers, who clinch NFC North
Minutes after Brandon Marshall said everyone involved with the Bears offense should be held accountable, he darted out of the Soldier Field locker room, leaving behind his sad-looking Charlie Brown Christmas tree. There will be no NFC North crown...

Given history, Smith might be best fit for Bears
The Bears may appear to be going nowhere, but that doesn't mean Lovie Smith is headed anywhere. Smith effectively can seal another contract with a victory over the Packers on Sunday. Beating the Packers is important to Bears ownership, and Smith could...

Bears offense neglected for far too long
There is no need for Phil Emery to be locked into hiring a head coach with an offensive background. But there is an overwhelming need for him to be locked into hiring someone who has foolproof answers on how to fix the offense. And that probably means...

In Emery we must trust
Phil Emery will hire the right head coach for the Bears. Nobody can say so yet, of course. Nobody can draw a fair conclusion about Lovie Smith's successor until next season at the earliest. But Emery gave the Bears every reason to believe that...

Reader Q&A: Dan Pompei's Bears mailbag
Has Phil Emery shown his hand at all regarding his feelings for Lovie Smith? @Joey FAV, from Twitter Yes, he has shown his hand repeatedly. Emery has a lot of respect for Smith. And he wants Smith to remain as head coach of the Bears as long as Smith...

Bears' pass rush making all the difference
The popular joke when the Bears traded for Jay Cutler in 2009 was that they fleeced the Broncos by including two first-round draft picks because such selections were worthless in Chicago. The trade simply spared the Bears the indignity of making even more...

Lean, healthy, Bears' Smith in it for long haul
Going into his ninth season with the Bears, lean and healthy Lovie Smith sure appears to have staying power. If he wins this season — which he should — Smith is likely to last at least as long as Mike Ditka as head coach of the Bears....

This no time to extend Smith's contract
Of course Phil Emery and Lovie Smith denied they have been knocking knees over a fresh contract for the coach. There's no upside for either of them if they indicate otherwise. If they're being truthful and Emery does wait until after the season for...

Season has earmarks of Urlacher's swan song
Pardon me if I'm a smidge disjointed with this one. I have had no experience writing about a Bears offense with players at the skilled positions who are capable of taking a team to a Super Bowl. And I have no memory of a Bears defense that appears to...

Cutler still somewhat in Elway's shadow
It somehow is appropriate Andrew Luck begins his career on a field opposite Jay Cutler. The Bears quarterback can offer his Colts counterpart a bit of advice about following a legend when the teams hook up Sunday at Soldier Field. Hopefully, it will be...

Bears' McCaskey doesn't like to deal with hypotheticals
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — After becoming chairman of the board last May, George McCaskey has overseen an interesting year for the team his grandfather George Halas founded. McCaskey sat down with the Tribune at the NFL meetings to discuss the state of...

A vote for giving the Bears more help
The NFL’s competition committee had an idea that the Bears should like but don’t. The committee recommended increasing offseason rosters from 80 players to 90 as a way of developing more talent. Nothing wrong with that, right? A chance to...Tags: Peyton Manning, Brian Urlacher, Mike Tice, Devin Hester, Caleb Hanie
