A look at the NFC North's busy weekend

Friday morning, I provided a brief look at what the other three NFC North teams had been doing in free agency up to that point.

Now, with the weekend drawing to an end, it seemed like a good time to provide an updated look (and, as always, give some thoughts on it all). After all, it’s hard [...]

While you were sleeping, the rest of the NFC North was plenty busy

Good morning, OBOD readers!

While you were sleeping, the NFC North teams not named the Green Bay Packers were plenty busy.

Here’s a look at what the rest of the division has been up to in free agency so far (scroll down a bit for our most recent Packers update):

Regular season game thirteen vs. Chicago: Clear a spot for the Pack in the tournament

(Before we begin: I’d normally apologize for this recap going up so late. But there was a reason for it tonight. I wanted to wait and see how the Philadelphia/New York game turned out.)

Breaking down Packers vs. Bears

We know about the storylines.

We know about the primetime television audience.

We know about the rivalry.

As fun as all those things are – and, believe me, they are fun – we should probably, at some point, talk about the actual matchup itself.

Well, that time is now, as we are going to break down all the important [...]

Bears land Cutler in blockbuster trade

Well, it looks like that Sunday night Bears-Packers season opener at Lambeau just got a whole lot more interesting.

The Bears, longing for the days of, well, Sid Luckman, finally got themselves a big-name quarterback this afternoon when they acquired Jay Cutler from the Denver Broncos.

Cutler came with a price tag befitting a big name, as well: Chicago’s first round [...]
