Chicago Bears Daily Blog

As I stumbled around on google searching for a blog to write a link post for, I actually come upon a blog that offers a nice perspective from a fan who has been blogging about the Bears since 2000. In his most recent article Chicago Bears Weekend Six-Pack:12-2, he touches on six relevant issues that I found very interesting and thought I could also give a different perspective to what he says.
1. In his first point, he talks about how he recently received his season ticket holder end of season letter informing him to purchase playoff tickets. After reading that exact sentence, I thought to myself" why would the Bears be sending out a letter informing fans to purchase playoff tickets when there almost no chance the Bears will even host a playoff game." Later on in his first point, he says that he can give his credit card info for the tickets and if they don't host a game, he wont be charged 600 dollars for the tickets. However, he did explain how he would have to pay a $10 "handling fee" to choose the "pay if we play option. When I read this I was astounded! It is highway robbery that the Bears are charging their loyal season ticket holder $10 bucks for basically nothing. If I was this blogger, I would write, email and call the Bears front office about this until I got an answer to why it was happening and refuse to pay this fee. All I have to say is shame on you Chicago Bears.
2. In his second point, he talks about the rumors that the Bears may potentially put a waiver claim in for quarterback Donovan McNabb. I think it would be a very interesting scenario because he would be coming home to play for his hometown team. I am not sure how much McNabb still has in his tank and if he would actually help the Bears win if they were to call on him. I do however know that he would be an upgrade of Josh McCown, simply because he was a starter for the Vikings this year for 9 games. If I do recall, McCown hasn't played a game since 2009 and all reports say he has been extremely rusty in practice this week. If anything, I think it would be a wise move on the Bears part to at least put McNabb through a workout now that he is a free agent and see what he has left
3. In his third topic, he describes that after this weeks game against the Giant's, the Packers basically have no competition left to play and will probably go undefeated. I know the Packer's still play the Bears, and if Jay Cutler was still healthy, I liked the Bears chances of possibly upsetting the Packers. However, Cutler is hurt and I don't think we have seen enough out of Hanie to say he could go into Lambeau Field and beat the Packers. Its a real shame that the defending Super Bowl champions had such a week schedule and I look forward to watching them get tested in the playoffs and possible losing.
4.In his fourth topic, he mentions how Julius Peppers was named the NFC defensive play of the month for November and has basically been playing like man possessed. I could agree anymore with what he claimed and think it is one of the best things that could happen for the Bears right now. Imagine what the defense could do if Peppers keeps playing like this and how it can benefit the others on the defensive line. Peppers is looking to have a quiet 10 sack year and his recent production surge only offers good things for the Bears in the future.
5. His fifth topic talks about the possible promotion of Mike Tice to offensive coordinator if Mike Martz were to leave for the Arizona State coaching job. He offers the idea of possible pursuing someone from Green Bay's coaching to help transform Jay Cutler into a star quarterback like Aaron Rodgers became. Just imagine if that were to happen and the Bears implemented a similar offense as the Packers. I believer they have similar assets at the wide receiver position and have a definite upgrade with Matt Forte. This could be a very interesting scenario and would only mean great things for the Bears and their offense.
6. His last topic talks about the last few times the Bears have played the Chiefs and how they have fared against them. I personally believe the Bears should have an easy time with the Chiefs and it should be a very lopsided game. The Chiefs offense has basically done nothing over the last month and the Bears offense is still doing pretty well considering Jay Cutler is out. Look for a good game out of the Bears and and easy victory.
In finding the Chicago Bears Blog, I have found yet another interesting  blog that I will continue to visit and possible try to implement some of the ideas that this blogger has used to run an impressive site for over 10 years. So until next time readers, Bears Down!
