Chicago Bears
Let’s get to know Darrell Taylor.
Taylor Doll gave us a double dose of her Making Monsters Podcast this week!
In case you missed it, she previewed the Chicago Bears vs. Houston Texans game with Cole Thompson of The Texans Wire, and she talked to a former Bear, Greg Huntington, who played on the team in the 90s, about his trip back to Chicago for Alumni Weekend at the home opener against the Titans. That show can be found here.
For this bonus episode, she wanted to get some insight into her Monster of the Week, defensive end Darrell Taylor,...

Pictured: The not-losing quarterback from last week’s game.
Good morning. The Chicago Bears are 1-0.
We can do the wailing and gnashing of teeth all we want about the subpar performance of a rookie quarterback’s first NFL start, or of a running game that didn’t exactly get on track, or of a tight-end play share that didn’t make sense, or of a wide receiving group that didn’t quite help its rookie quarterback.
For all the complaining that we can and will do, the Bears are 1-0 after week 1. That’s a lot better than 0-1.
No, it wasn’t pretty or...

Here’s all you need to know about the Bears vs. Texans game!
I normally don’t mind the Chicago Bears playing at a time other than Noon Central, but I don’t want to wait all day for Sunday night this week. I want to see my Bears as soon as possible. Last week, the defense and special teams played like Lovie’s 2006 squad while the offense sputtered along for the ride. I can’t wait to see if Caleb Wiliams can settle down and deliver in Shane Waldron’s offense.
There were plenty of issues last week, but a connection here, a catch...

Greg Gabriel takes a look at the matchups that could decide the Bears vs Texans game
Last week, the Chicago Bears opened the 2024 season with a hard-fought come-from-behind win over Tennessee at Soldier Field. This week, the Bears have to go on the road to play the Houston Texans, and what makes the game even tougher is that it is Houston’s home opener. So, we know that will give the Texans an edge.
In the Tennessee game, it was obvious to all who watched that the Bears' interior offensive line did not match up well against the Titans' interior...

The Bears made some roster moves today.
On Saturday, the Chicago Bears placed offensive lineman Ryan Bates on injured reserve, which means he'll miss at least four games. In a corresponding roster move, the Bears signed long snapper Scott Daly from the practice squad. They also elevated wide receiver Collin Johnson from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.
Bates was nursing an injury during the offseason, but he was able to play last week in a rotation with Nate Davis at right guard. This week at Halas Hall, he did not practice on Thursday and Friday...

Ryan Poles is making the rounds with his college football weekend visits.
Bears general manager is slated to attend Saturday’s matchup of No. 6 Missouri and No. 24 Boston College in Columbia, MO, per the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Eli Hoff.
The game, which kicks off at 11:45 a.m. CST, is the only matchup between two ranked teams to take place this Saturday. It’s also worth noting that Boston College is Poles’ alma mater, as he was an offensive lineman for their football team from 2003 to 2007. The tweet mentions that Giants general manager Joe Schoen is also listed to...

The Chicago Bears travel to Houston for the Texans’ home opener this Sunday Night. Here are my players to watch.
The NFL season is an evolving state of affairs. So much can and does change from week to week. Teams, schemes, and player’s health all factor into performances on any given Sunday.
In this weekly series, I’ll be featuring one player from each team on each side of the ball who I figure to be integral to their respective teams’ success. Let’s get to it.
Offense: Braxton Jones, LT - Caleb Williams had a forgettable first start...
