Humbling lesson in reality
Tribune staff reporterSo much for keeping up with the big boys. So much for playoff hopes dangling by a mathematical thread. Beating the Detroit Lions, as it turns out, doesn't mean much when you're playing a real playoff team. And easy schedule, easy conference or not,...Tags: Grant Wistrom, Blake Brockermeyer, Detroit Lions, Bobby Engram, Marshall Faulk

No nod for Matthews
Tribune staff reporterAfter a 2-2 exhibition season, three lowly opponents and a 35-24 loss in the wrap-up Saturday night, the Bears figure they have at least one trump card to throw at Kansas City in the season opener two weeks from Sunday. They refuse to name their starting...Tags: Chicago Bears, D'Wayne Bates, Shane Matthews, Football, Quarterly or Semiannual Financial Statements

Interceptions, drops deluge soggy Bears
Tribune staff reporterA typically sloppy preseason game? Or a game typical of what will be a sloppy team? You make the call. Actually, the replay official did in reversing a safety after Pittsburgh's block of a Todd Sauerbrun punt and calling it a touchdown to give the...Tags: Marty Booker, Jim Finn, Bobby Engram, Alonzo Mayes, Chris Canty

McNown gets positive review from his coach
Tribune staff reporterHe received his "Welcome-to-the-NFL, son" four plays into his pro career, a Colts sandwich that left Cade McNown picking himself up 9 yards behind the line of scrimmage and surely knowing what they meant when they warned him about the speed of pro...Tags: Damon Washington, Sports, Chris Canty, Indianapolis Colts, Chicago Bears

Banged up? Bang-up job
Tribune staff reporterThey are 3-2 and kings of the universe. A real team with serious goals, an agenda and an attitude. They are one victory short of their season total for each of the last two seasons, but you'd never know it. Never guess that this was the same team that...Tags: Randall Cunningham, Mike Wells, Randy Moss, Basketball, McDonald's

Bears grounded again
Tribune staff reporterThey grasp at numbers now, juggling and rejuggling the equation each week until it still somehow works. And for the purposes of maintaining their professional sanity, anyway, it still does. The magic figure now is 9-7. So what if it requires beating...Tags: Keith Burns, Marty Booker, Gus Frerotte, Bryan Robinson, Chris Hudson

No gain, just pain for Bears
Tribune staff reporterJim Flanigan's jaw was clenched so tightly, his teeth threatened to shatter under the pressure, and you wonder how much a six-year Bears veteran can take. You wonder how many more of these any of them can absorb and dissect and move past when every week,...Tags: Blake Brockermeyer, Marty Booker, Alonzo Mayes, Randy Moss, Bryan Robinson

8 to 88 a catchy combo
Tribune staff reporterIf Bears fans were still searching for signs that this is a team worthy of their time, faith and emotional investment, then Sunday's 28-10 victory over the Detroit Lions offered perhaps the most solid evidence yet that they might want to hang in there....Tags: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ron Rice, Bobby Engram, Detroit Lions, Randy Moss
-
Bears' faith intact
Tribune staff reporterThere are all kinds of reasons for the Bears to have a Monday morning hangover. Solid, valid, quantifiable reasons that explain a 3-8 slide to close the season, a 6-10 record and by all rights should leave a team with a sour taste heading into a long off-...Tags: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jaret Holmes, Bobby Engram, Mike Wells, Basketball

Half an effort doesn't cut it
Tribune staff reporterThe assumption is that something other than their own excellence was responsible for making the Philadelphia Eagles look like a playoff team Sunday. The question is, did Cade McNown's debut as starting quarterback slow up the Bears just enough to stumble...Tags: Luther Broughton, Chris Villarrial, Doug Pederson, Sports, Chicago Bears

In a word, 'embarrassing'
Tribune staff reporterThis was a loss of a supposedly bygone era, when humiliation could spring up on any given Sunday, morale always a fragile proposition and the whole lot if it's serving as more evidence of a disintegrating season. If the Bears' 48-22 loss to the...Tags: Blake Brockermeyer, Todd Perry, Mike Wells, Sports, Brad Johnson

Fred Mitchell's game Q&A
Q Was Jim Miller even capable of throwing a deep pass at the end of the game? A Miller was relegated to backup duty because of tendinitis in his shoulder and elbow but was forced into action when starter Chris Chandler left the game with a sprained neck....Tags: Marty Booker, Bryan Robinson, Sports, Chris Chandler, Ahmad Merritt
