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...

With Cutler, Bears make right call
With a knowing glance, Bears quarterback Jay Cutler made eye contact with backup Jason Campbell in the locker room at halftime of Sunday night's 13-6 loss to the Texans. "Jay just looked at me and said, 'Be ready,'" Campbell said. Do we know if a...

Modern helmets contribute to illusion of safety
The weapon of choice in the NFL is the helmet. The safety-improved helmet, as well as other advanced protective equipment players wear today, can make them feel invincible and perhaps more reckless in blocking and tackling techniques. "That's why we...

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.

Super Bowl champs offer Bears a road map
I presume that the Bears’ new so-called general manager watched the Super Bowl, as the Bears traditionally have done for 44 of the previous 46 years.

Doesn't sound like Emery knows how to judge a coach
Phil Emery got so revved up that he forgot reality.
No, wait, Emery didn’t get revved up at his introductory news conference. Emery seems incapable of getting revved up.

Urlacher special to Bears

Change could be coming after Bears miss playoffs
DETROIT — The Bears could spend between now and wild-card weekend counting the reasons they will be sitting at home with 10 wins. A defensive meltdown in Week 13 against the Seahawks and a brutal loss at Minnesota the following week are good places...

Packers beat Bears 23-10
GREEN BAY — At least the on-field camera for this nationally televised game didn't capture Jay Cutler shouting vulgarities at his offensive coordinator. That's maybe the only way progress can be judged for the Bears, who were looking to make a...
