There are two certainties in an NFL season. The first is that attrition will take its toll at some point. No team makes it through a year unscathed. Sooner or later, someone, very likely more than one someone, will go down. It’s a fact of life. People get hurt playing professional football. The second is […]

Playing in the Black Friday Game makes it feel like the Bears last stepped foot on a playing field forever ago. And with their Week 14 game being a 3:25 p.m. CT start, the wait will feel that much longer. I hope they make it worth it for us!
Speaking of start times, the Bears-Packers Week 16 game now has a 7:20 p.m. CT kickoff. It will make the first night game at Soldier Field since 2019 between these long-time rivals. I imagine that when (if?) the new stadium gets built, we will get m...

The Green Bay Packers made three roster moves on Tuesday, releasing receiver Michael Woods II and cornerback Tyron Herring from the practice squad while adding cornerback Shemar Bartholomew. This left the Packers with one open spot on the practice squad, which Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber is now reporting that will be used to re-sign receiver […]

Oh, baby! The Chicago Bears decided to give the Haters the middle finger on Black Friday and announce to the NFL world that they are for real. The Haters are still clinging to “Oh, well, the Eagles are collapsing! They still haven’t beaten anyone!” Beat the Packers, and they’ll blame the Tucker Kraft injury. It’ll […]

The Green Bay Packers worked out six players on Tuesday, their off day this week, following three moves on their practice squad. The Packers have an open roster spot on their 17-man practice squad right now, but the assumption I’m working with is that the team will attempt to re-sign receiver Will Sheppard, who the […]

As the playoff picture starts coming into focus, the NFL is flexing the Eagles-Commanders game in Week 16 to earlier on Saturday evening, with kick-off now set for Dec. 20 at 5:00 PM ET, and the Packers-Bears game moving to the primetime at 8:20 PM ET. It’s not really surprising the league would change things […]

Yesterday, the Green Bay Packers announced that receiver Will Sheppard would be waived from the 53-man roster. To get him back on the practice squad, should he clear waivers, the Packers needed to make a corresponding roster move, as their practice squad was full after the re-signing of kicker Lucas Havrisik last week. They made […]

The Chicago Bears don’t get too many chances to host the Green Bay Packers under the bright lights of Soldier Field.
But in a year that feels so different for Bears fans, it makes sense that the most storied rivalry in NFL history gets the primetime treatment in Week 16:

Save for Lovie Smith, Chicago Bears head coaches have often danced around Packers Week and treated it as if it were just another game.
But Ben Johnson isn’t like other Bears coaches:

It may be stupid that the Packers are just now playing the Bears for the first time this season, but at least the game is going to matter. I’m firmly of the opinion that things are better when Packers/Bears games matter, and for too long, they haven’t. The Bears are the Packers’ oldest rival, and […]

Happy hot dog day, Bears fans! Please bundle up. It’s cold outside.
ICYMI: Ben Johnson’s shirtless escapades after the Bears’ Black Friday win against the Eagles resulted in fans getting free hot dogs on Tuesday at The Wiener’s Circle. This is what the Bears head coach had to say about it (and with a bonus locker room angle I hadn’t seen before):

Week 14 is here, and the Chicago Bears are sitting atop the NFC. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers are within striking distance with a showdown between the two at Lambeau Field looming. Elsewhere, the Detroit Lions are trying to right the ship, and the Minnesota Vikings look like a sinking ship.
