Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs may be in their early 30s, but don't tell them they are old.
Another big game for the Bears as they travel to take on Philadelphia tonight. If the Bears can find a way to win, they put themselves in a great spot to continue the playoff race. A loss with a rested Detroit coming in next week makes things more difficult. Here are the matchups I'm looking at:
The bye week is over and the Bears are getting back to business. Let's see what's on your mind as the Bears get ready for a big matchup with the Eagles.
Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz doesn't view tight ends like most NFL coaches.
If Monday was a "must have", then Sunday is a must win. If the Bears were to lose against Minnesota, they would drop to 2-4, with all four losses coming in the NFC. It would also make them 0-3 in the division. When it comes to tie-breaker math, that ain't good. So here's what I'm watching for Sunday night:
Bears cornerback Charles Tillman -- who is in his ninth season in the NFL -- says you won't be able to find tape of him making the perfect tackle.
Wins are supposed to feel good. Other than the victory itself, Sunday felt like a cryptic clue to a treasure hunt. As each week goes along, you're stuck with the question: Who are these guys?
It's only Week 4, but don't get it twisted, this is a big game for the Bears. You don't want to have a three-game losing streak and you don't want to lose an NFC game at home.
The last two games have been interesting and have led to some interesting questions from you. Let's open up the mailbag and see what we can figure out.
Through two games, Jay Cutler has been sacked 11 times. Beyond getting sacked, Cutler's been touched up quite a bit.
The balance, protection and production that the Bears saw last week vs. the Falcons was absent against the Saints. Gregg Williams and the New Orleans defense brought continuous pressure and it put the Bears on their heels.
The final installment of Laurence Holmes' Superhero Football Team: Team Marvel's defense.
In this imaginary world, I wanted to try to resemble how an NFL team would pick starters. You may agree, you may not. Either way, have a little fun and tweak my list or create your own.
With the regular season underway, I'm excited to see what's on your mind. So let's get started with this week's mailbag.
The preseason is over and it's time to get down to business. Here are a few things that I'll be looking for when the Bears host the Falcons Sunday on the lakefront.
In Part II of his Superhero Football Team series, Laurence Holmes takes a look at Team DC's offense.
Sources have indicated to the Score that the Bears offer to Forte is less than the 3-year, $21 million extension that Frank Gore got from the 49ers. Gore received $13.5 million in guaranteed money.
I've taken my love for football and my love for comics and tried to combine them. In putting together the team, I tried to make it to scale with the bigger players closest to the ball.
The bizarre game of chicken between Lance Briggs & the Bears continues, but it seems as though, Briggs is the only one playing.
670 The Score's Bears reporter Laurence Holmes is reporting Desmond Clark has a torn MCL.
The writing seems to be on the wall for Chester Taylor's future with the Bears.
The third game is the most important in the pre-season. Teams put in a minimal game-plan, but try not to show too much of what they want to accomplish in the regular season.
During practices, you can see Mike Martz stalking the practice field making sure that offensive players are in the right spot on time.
Throughout Lovie Smith's tenure as head coach, his camps have been "player-friendly". Meaning the practices have been thorough, but are less physical than other teams.
