  1. Kyle Orton Continues To Fail Bears

    I think Sunday night it finally started to sink in with Bears fans that Kyle Orton isn't the second coming of the messiah in Chicago. On an international stage, with first place on the line, Orton single-handedly gave first place in the NFC North away...

  3. To the Idiots Who Blame Rex Grossman

  5. Bears-Falcons: Orton Falters Early, Defense Collapses Late

    Last week, after Orton's dominance against the league's bottom ranked defense of the Detroit Lions, I was prompted to write: "Orton did good, but so what? It's the Detroit Lions who are 0-5, ...

  6. Bears-Lions: Kyle Orton Turns It Up a Notch

    24 of 34 for 344 yards and two TD's—or once, I have no complaints about Kyle Orton. Kyle, for a moment, came out of his shell and looked like the QB I never thought I'd see out of him...

  9. Kyle Orton Could Be Finished By Halftime Against Eagles

  10. Tired Of Excuses For Kyle Orton

    The media never ceases to find ways to make me smile. I read a few articles this week about Orton's performance on Sunday, which was lackluster once again, and saw new side to the media...

  11. Kyle Orton's Game Management Not Enough

    I wrote an article about Orton's inability to show his "improved" play last weekend and got burned for it by a few readers here on BR. They defended lackluster play by one of the most important positions on the field with the "hey, we won" speech...

  12. Could Matt Cassel Be The Bears' 2009 QB?

    No, don't worry, you don't need to go back to Kindegarten and learn how to read again - you read the headline correctly. If 2008 falls the way I think it will, that is, for both the Bears and the Patriots, then ladies and gentlemen...

  16. Is the Chicago Bears' QB Competition A Set-Up?

    As farfetched as it may sound, the Chicago QB derby Saturday night in Seattle had all the makings of a fixed competition. I know what you're thinking, "The Bears would never do that..." .....

  17. Miserable Offensive Line Fails Rex Grossman

    Never in my life have I seen a more morbid display by an offensive line. Rex Grossman's night was ended with a gash to the bridge of his nose, a cut on the back of his head, and a slice up his forearm that was bandaged for the majority of the night...

  20. Brett Favre To the Chicago Bears? Chicago...Think This One Over

    Brett Favre is slowly backing the Packers into a corner. A corner, they've stated, that may force them to trade Favre within the division, like he wants. The Lions aren't even being considered in this race for No...
