Jay Cutler only needs offensive stability to reach the next level
Quick... off the top of your head, name the best quarterbacks in the NFL today? If you're like me the top two are easily Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Then there'll be a handful of players in the next group: Drew Brees for sure, maybe Philip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger, and some might put Aaron...
Holding Jerry Angelo accountable for the O-Line
The buzz word surrounding the Bears lately is accountability. Tommie Harris isn't performing up to expectations and he's inactive. Zackary Bowman has a lapse and misses a tackle, hello Tim Jennings. Mark Anderson, hasta la vista. Going even further back, offensive coordinator Ron Turner isn't...
Martz on Hester: "He's our starter"
As it stands right now, Devin Hester is a starting wide receiver for the Chicago Bears. I pulled the above quote from Yahoo Sports in the Strategy and Personnel section of the Bears team report, although I have seen the quote in a few other publications so I'm not sure the original source. ...

If you then look at the difference between how a team did versus its expectation, you can get a sense as to whether...
Chicago continues the agonizing coordinators search…
We are a frustrated fan base. There is no denying that. Even if you're pro Lovie, or pro Angelo, or pro Phillips (is anyone pro Phillips?), the frustration is nearing a boiling point. With the latest rumors of Mike Tice and Rod Marinelli getting a bump to offensive and defensive coordinators...

Continuing our look back at the decade that was in Iowa football, celebrating the highs and the lows -- and, hopefully, distracting us from the ongoing disaster that is Iowa basketball. This series looks back at Iowa's results across the entire decade against every Big Ten foes, as well as Iowa...
The Asst/HC Title in regards to Lateral Moves
This subject gets beaten up in the threads, but it is such a reoccurring topic I thought I'd drop in on the front page. Every time someone mentions a name to replace Ron Turner as offensive coordinator or even a name to replace Pep Hamilton as quarterbacks coach we get the lateral move conundrum....
Pure Speculation Here: Bears will not hire a "Name" O.C.
After floating three big name possibilities, Weis, Martz, and Kubiak, and one lesser known yet highly qualified name, Jeremy Bates, for potentially replacing Chicago offensive coordinator Ron Turner I figured it was time to go the route the Bears are more likely to head. Now I have zero inside...
