Brian Griese does a great Grossman impression in Bears 37-27 loss to Lions

The Bears changed quarterbacks, but the problems on offense looked the same in a loss to the Lions.

Brian Griese struggled against a Detroit defense that gave up 381 passing yards a week ago, throwing three interceptions in his first start for Chicago.

The Lions scored 34 points in the fourth quarter to overcome a 10-point decifit and beat the Bears...more

Chicago Bears 2008 NFL Season Preview

The Bears have two major problems. The first is that the offense scores something like 4 points a game with roughly the same amount of points scored as turnovers. This creates the second problem. A pissed off defense and a divided locker room. We are not sure that this team will not implode upon the weight of its quarterbacks at some point this year. The Bears have two divisions: the one they share with Green Bay, Detroit and Minnesota, and the one between their offense and defense...

An Open Letter To Fans

My name is TL Redman. Having been a Lion fan for over 50 years. I am sure you can share in my frustration.
My question is very simple, what is up with Steve Mariucci? He seems to be an intelligent man and an above average football coach. He has coached on winning teams in college and the NFL. His first coaching job in college was with California in 1996. His team went 6-5, but get this, his team averaged over 450 yds per game, 321yds per game passing....
