Five Thoughts on the 2009 Chicago Bears and Beyond
By Sean Heffernan
The 2009 season wasn't pretty for Chicago Bears fans, but it's never to early to look forward to next year. The Jay Cutler trade made this season one of the most anticipated in history of the Bears organization which made the poor play on the field even harder to watch for the Solider Field faithful. For the Bears to avoid repeating the mistakes of 2009 they must make changes. Here's my two cents on what the big stories are for next season in the Windy City.

Kid, Here’s the Keys to the Car: Bears Sign Cutler to 2013
Jay Cutler will be a Bear for the next five years
By Sean Heffernan
Jay Cutler has signed a two year contract extension with the Chicago Bears putting the future of the historic franchise directly on the 26-year-old quarterback's shoulders for the immediate future. With a possible lock out looming on the horizon in the NFL in 2011 Cutler and agent, Bus Cook, were looking to make a deal this season. Over the next five seasons with the Bears, Cutler will make $50 million dollars with $20 million guaranteed in the agreed contract. ...

Bears sign rookie CB, DeAngelo Smith, on Waivers
The Bears will be DeAngelo Smith's third team in his rookie season
After being waived this season already by the Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys, first year defensive back DeAngelo Smith has signed with the Chicago Bears on waivers. The Bears, themselves, waived injured cornerback Trumaine McBride to make room for Smith (who was drafted in the 5th round this year by the Cowboys).
Who is DeAngelo Smith? He was three year player at the University of Cincinatti. He had a breakout season his junior year in college when he led the nation in interceptions with eight picks. His senior year he only had two interceptions, but helped the Bearcats to their first Big East Championship.
How will he help? Who knows? It's not good that the Bears's answer to a problem is to pick up a guy that has already been waived by two teams. That said, after Nathan Vasher's performance last Sunday against the Packers, GM Jerry Angelo needed to do something about the secondary.

The Word of the Day is… PANIC
Hit Me...?
Da Bears had their lunches handed to them. Jay Cutler looked Rextacular. Urlacher's done for 2009. The o-line looked like a set of turnstiles. The wide receivers are young. Forte couldn't get it going. It was the God Damn PACKERS!
Glad we got that out of our systems. We good? Everybody out of breath to stop yelling long enough for this?

The Horror in Green Bay
by Sean Heffernan
Prior to the Bears kicking off to the Packers last night there was a sense of optimism in Chicago about their football team that hadn’t been alive since the days of the ’85 Bears. By remarkable circumstances the Bears’ GM, Jerry Angelo, had scooped up disgruntled Pro Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler from the Denver Broncos. After years of wallowing at the shaky arms of terrible to mediocre quarterbacks for decades, Bears faithful now had a star thrower to lead their team to greatness.
Expectations for the 2009 season grew with each day drawing nearer where to September 13th where at Lambeau Field the “Cutler Era” would begin against their dreaded rival to the north. As Robbie Gould kicked off into the Green Bay night, Chicago Bears fans collectively breathed a sigh of relief as the most anticipated season in the history of the 90-year-old organization had finally begun.
That sigh was about all the relief Bears fans got last night.

The Best Thing Since Sweetness
by Sean Heffernan
The Bears trade for Jay Cutler has made this year the most anticipated season in the organization's recent history, but although having a top quarterback will make a big difference in the Bears' passing game much of the team's success this year will fall upon the shoulders of second year running back Matt Forté.
