Dan Pompei's Bears mailbag
Dan, do you see Marc Trestman replacing Johnny Knox with another speedy receiver in the draft? I really believe that he was a major missing piece of their offense since his catastrophic injury. I just don't think Trestman will find another one in free...

Bears put franchise tag on DT Melton
Henry Melton wants to stay in Chicago, and the Bears want the Pro Bowl defensive tackle to anchor the line for years to come. But will the sides come to a long-term deal before the start of the next season? Friday was the first step in the process....

Bears and Urlacher need each other
Speaking to a small circle of reporters last week inside the Walter Payton Center at Halas Hall, Bears coach Marc Trestman struggled to be heard by anybody not close enough to read the label on his glasses. Trestman's voice didn't carry strongly...

Coaches like Smith hard to find
Getting rid of Lovie Smith does not make the Bears a better team. Only replacing him with a better coach would. Jon Gruden? Hearing he's not coming down from the press box. Bill Cowher has gotten too comfortable wearing makeup. Mike Holmgren? He...

Bears offense suffering identity crisis
In retrospect the question was more rhetorical than anything, a reaction that popped into my head late Monday night as Lovie Smith tried processing the punishment the 49ers had just inflicted on the Bears. What makes you think the offensive line will...

Bears position analysis: Defensive line
For the first time since the 1985 season, the Bears landed two defensive linemen in the Pro Bowl as Julius Peppers and Henry Melton were selected as all-stars. Peppers led the defense with 111/2 sacks, his most since joining the club in 2010, and...

Bears season comes down surviving against Vikings
When the ribbon was cut on this NFL season in early September, nobody gave a second thought to the Bears' Week 12 assignment, Leslie Frazier's Vikings. No, you don't dismiss any divisional opponent, especially one that possesses the threat of Adrian...

Jennings key to Bears containing Peterson
After the way the 49ers manhandled the Bears on Monday night in San Francisco, Lovie Smith's defense should prep for the Vikings to feature Adrian Peterson in the running game Sunday at Soldier Field. It will face downhill schemes that test the gap...

It's payback time for Bears vs. Allen
Does the revenge factor exist in the NFL? An eye-for-an-eye type of deal? Kind of. Well, sort of, because football isn't a street fight, no matter how much we try to portray the violence of the pro game. Two weeks ago, Vikings defensive end Jared...

Fans' love of Urlacher is unrequited
To the men in the graying goatees who pull those ridiculous-looking navy No. 54 jerseys over slight paunches every Sunday, and the women who proudly wear the pink model, you don't matter to the Bears franchise player. To young kids across Chicagoland...

Time for Emery to shake things up at Halas Hall
DETROIT — Wearing a knotted tie and a focused gaze, Patrick Mannelly looked like a nervous stockbroker staring at the morning ticker as he sat on a folding chair Sunday inside the visiting Bears locker room. A few feet away, fellow Bears veteran...

With nothing to lose, Lions could be dangerous
The Week 17 opponent playing out the schedule can be both fragile and dangerous. Most players are counting the days until the final exit meeting Monday morning with team doctors and coaches before they can get out of town. That last game? Just get...
