  1. Loss will be lamented little

    If a career falls in Lake Forest and no one around cares to hear it …
    If a career falls in Lake Forest and no one around cares to hear it … Brian Urlacher's extraordinary career with the Bears ended with a resounding whimper Wednesday as an afternoon news release confirmed what long has been expected — that...

  2. For better or worse, coach and GM tied together

    Bears general manager Phil Emery and new head coach Marc Trestman celebrate birthdays just a day apart from one another. That's one of the nifty — dare we say synergetic? — connections between the two men. Sadly, they weren't born in late May or the first few weeks of June. That would have made them Geminis, of course, sign of the twins. No, they're a couple old Capricorns, which means they're depicted as goats with fish tails, not the greatest image for football.

  3. With this line, an uphill climb

    The Bears have been running up a down escalator on offense for so long, they apparently can't help but feel they're on the verge of reaching the top.
    The Bears have been running up a down escalator on offense for so long, they apparently can't help but feel they're on the verge of reaching the top. Maybe that explains the delusion of adequacy that prevented them from seriously upgrading the offensive...

  4. Roster mismanagement could be Bears' downfall

    The franchise of Walter Payton, Gale Sayers and Red Grange could become the attack of Kahlil Bell, Armando Allen and maybe even Harvey Unga on Sunday at Detroit.
    The franchise of Walter Payton, Gale Sayers and Red Grange could become the attack of Kahlil Bell, Armando Allen and maybe even Harvey Unga on Sunday at Detroit. Unga is on the practice squad and Bell has already been signed off the street and moved...

  5. Emery's master plan should start to unfold soon

    Phil Emery has spent so much of his NFL career in the shadows you can't help but wonder just what to expect from him now that his time in the spotlight draws near.
    Phil Emery has spent so much of his NFL career in the shadows you can't help but wonder just what to expect from him now that his time in the spotlight draws near. The Bears general manager, sold as a relentless man, finally will begin to unveil his...

  6. 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.
    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...

  7. What's the answer for Bears?

    There is an undercurrent of ambition to the firing of Lovie Smith.
    There is an undercurrent of ambition to the firing of Lovie Smith. Winning isn't enough anymore in Chicago. Winning 10 games isn't enough, anyway. A new standard has been set. It may have taken nine years to figure it out, but Lovie Smith was deemed...

  8. Is Urlacher's injury end of era?

    The dark cloud settling over this Bears season grew even more ominous Tuesday with news that middle linebacker Brian Urlacher likely will miss three of the team's final four games with a Grade 2 hamstring strain.

  9. Bears latest problem? Money

    The institutional failure of the Bears offense is even worse than most seem to realize.
    The institutional failure of the Bears offense is even worse than most seem to realize. Not only has it failed to improve in the Jay Cutler era, the team has overpaid for that failure. An offseason investment of tens of millions of dollars has done...

  10. Cutler usually rebounds well from poor games

    The Jay Cutler-J'Marcus Webb controversy may wind up being a bigger problem for the Rams than it has been for the Bears.
    The Jay Cutler-J'Marcus Webb controversy may wind up being a bigger problem for the Rams than it has been for the Bears. The key figures involved in last Thursday night's incident, celebrity quarterback Cutler and social media butterfly Webb, always...

  11. What will it take for Bears offense to take off?

    It's understandable if the hype of a potential Super Bowl matchup one week, followed by a prospective NFC championship showdown the next, seems highly relevant midway through a season. But really, it's only hype. Getting to the real NFC championship game and then the real Super Bowl — in that order — is really what the exercise is all about.

  12. Sources: Urlacher turned to alternative therapy before knee scope

    The inexplicable months of delay between Brian Urlacher's left knee injury and an arthroscopic procedure to reduce pain and swelling a little more than a week ago is pretty difficult to understand.
    The inexplicable months of delay between Brian Urlacher's left knee injury and an arthroscopic procedure to reduce pain and swelling a little more than a week ago is pretty difficult to understand. Why would the Bears and Urlacher gamble waiting for...
