Matt Forte News

JUST BECAUSE Bears coach Lovie Smith seems intent on beating his head against the wall, it doesn't mean fantasy leaguers have to do the same.

The Eagles are one of the league's best examples of a team that can be productive on offense without the benefit of a strong running game.

As Kahlil Bell sat in an office Friday and signed a contract to the Bears ' 53-man roster, the undrafted rookie free-agent running back spotted the names of Walter Payton and Gale Sayers on the wall.

It took very little time for the idea to come across coach Lovie Smith's lips this week in practice following last week's debacle at San Francisco.

Despite these deficiencies, the Bears can move the ball up and down the field behind Cutler's arm.

There's the 9 interceptions in the red zone the last two years, more than twice as many as any other NFL QB.

Jay Cutler of the Chicago Bears hangs his head during a 10-6 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Today in his Monday Morning QB-Tuesday edition, Peter King of Sports Illustrated took an email question from Joseph of Chicago that started out like this: If you're the Chicago Bears ' management, who are you more inclined to fire, Lovie Smith or Ron Turner ? He goes on to get more in detail with his question, bashing both Turner and Smith, even ...

I can't put into words how disappointed I am in the Bears' performance, not only in Thursday night's loss to the 49ers, but all season long.

The San Francisco 49ers stopped their four-game losing streak with a 10-6 win over the Chicago Bears Thursday night.

Running back Frank Gore #21 of the San Francisco 49ers scores a second-quarter touchdown on a 14-yard run against the Chicago Bears at Candlestick Park on November 12, 2009 in San Francisco, California.

Posted by ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert As we discussed earlier this week, Chicago tailback Matt Forte made up for a lackluster statistical performance by scoring a pair of touchdowns in the Bears' 30-6 victory over Cleveland.

The Chicago Bears backup running back Garrett Wolfe suffered a kidney injury this past weekend in their game against the Arizona Cardinals.

All season long the Cardinals have been better on the road than at home. That trend stayed true on Sunday in Chicago, as a huge first half for Kurt Warner paved the way for a big Cards 41-21 win over the slumping Bears.

The Bears look to tear down the defending NFC Champion Cardinals. The stats will say that last week against the Browns the Bears rushed for over 100 yards.

Jay Cutler was sore and a bit black and blue. He ran five times for 32 yards but absorbed four sacks and spent plenty of time also running for cover in the Chicago Bears' 30-6 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

The defense found their Mojo, while the offense continued to stumble. If it wasn't for a dominating performance by the Bears defense in Sunday's 30-6 rout of the woeful Cleveland Browns at Soldier Field we may have been talking about a three-game losing streak.

At first, it seemed like disgust. Then, maybe disappointment. But upon further review, I wonder if what Ron Turner was really expressing after Sunday's dismal victory over the Browns was actually fear.

When Bob Babich was the Bears ' defensive coordinator, it was always difficult to figure out where he started and Lovie Smith ended.

LAKE FOREST – The Bears turned their good side toward the cameras Monday.
