Angelo On D: We're Too Experienced To Be Making Those Mistakes
Bears GM Jerry Angelo isn't buying the idea that his defense is too old to play at an elite level, though.

Bears GM Jerry Angelo isn't buying the idea that his defense is too old to play at an elite level, though.
Bears defensive tackle Matt Toeaina will likely miss the next two games after he sprained his posterior cruciate ligament in the fourth quarter of Monday's loss to the Lions.
The final score reads 24-13, but it might as well have been 240-13. As poor as the Lions played, nobody in the Chicagoland thought the Bears had a snowball's chance in pulling that one out after the Lions went up 21-10. The offensive line was outmatched, and almost the entire defense failed to show up Monday night. From there, the rest just fell into place.
Bad drafts, bad signings, desperate trades and hamstrung, stubborn coaches have the Bears staring at a dark road.
As the Bears offense struggles to find its identity, CBS Sports football analyst Boomer Esiason thinks the Bears should just stick to what works.
As the Bears head to Detroit to take on the undefeated Lions as the nation watches on Monday Night Football, head coach Love Smith isn't buying the hype that this is a "must-win" game.
Rewind about five years back to the 2006 NFL Draft. The Chicago Bears held the 57th pick of the draft, and they almost missed out on their guy.
Lovie Smith evaluates the regular season in four quarters, so let's evaluate Lovie's crew in the same fashion.
During the Bears' 34-29 victory on Sunday, the offense wasted two timeouts on one drive in the second half -- former quarterback Jim Miller breaks it down.
In Sunday's 34-29 win over the Panthers, that's exactly what they did. The Bears put together an explosive running attack that featured 222 yards and two touchdowns between Matt Forte and Marion Barber.
Lovie Smith said Monday that right guard Chris Spencer has a small fracture in his right hand, but the injury does not appear to be serious.
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?
Bears Coach Lovie Smith said Monday morning that the team's offense did a "super job" in beating the Carolina Panthers 34-29, but the defense gave up far too many yards.
It doesn't get categorized as "pretty" but 2-2 looks much better a quarter of the way through the regular season than 1-3 would. The running game was much improved compared to the last two weeks, but there were still plenty of weak spots on both sides of the ball where the Bears need to improve.
This one was a must-must, a necessary condition for continuing one's emotional investment in a severely flawed Bears team, even if one may know better.
Despite the Bears' offense showing signs of life on the ground in Sunday's 34-29 win over the Panthers, it would be a stretch to say all 11 men on that side of the ball were clicking.
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.
Reports indicated there was a clash between Rivera and head coach Lovie Smith after the Bears Superbowl run in 2006. The two will meet again as the Panthers travel to Chicago on Sunday in a battle between two 1-2 teams.
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.
It's supposed to be easier than this. During the truncated preseason, the Bears kept talking about how being in the second year of the Mike Martz system would bear fruit.
Bears coach Lovie Smith said Monday that he is "dissatisfied with our entire football team" after a devastating loss Sunday to the Green Bay Packers.
After Lovie Smith and Mike Martz said all week that the Bears would be more balanced against the Packers, Cutler threw the ball 37 times and running back Matt Forte had just nine carries.
It's strange to think this, but this is a big game for the Bears, beyond the usual Chicago vs. Green Bay storyline.
The Chicago Bears' offense needs to regain its balance, for Jay Cutler's sake if nothing else.
After picking up the pieces from the Bears' 30-13 loss in New Orleans Sunday, Lovie Smith joined WBBM-AM's Josh Liss Monday to discuss the game.
