Da Bears

[Tiduwho]

I can't believe this. I literally can't bleive we are passing again.


Lmao, WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK.


What in God's NAME??????????????????


You itiots. You fucking itiots.

[rustysurf83]

Mike Martz can go fuck himself.

[Tiduwho]

Saved by the penalty AGAIN. Story of our season.

[rustysurf83]

Wow........

[Doors Allan Coe]

[Doors Allan Coe]

this could be brutal...

[skwormin]

I can't believe wtf is going on right now

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Why run there? Ever? 3rd and long right before the two minute warning?

[rustysurf83]

This is pathetic.

[gocubsgo3822]

why the fuck did he not get down immeidately?

BAIRZ WIN!!!!!!

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

I stand corrected Freeman still sucks.

[DMBcubs3641]

Bears win.

[Tiduwho]

Bairz win! :multi

[BotheDMBFan]

Bears win. WWWYKI!

[DMBZeppelin]

It was ugly but I'll take it.

[gocubsgo3822]

wins are win in the national footbakll league

[DMBCubs25]

Bairz to win out?

[DMBcubs3641]

Very pleased with how we played in the 1st half. Things certainly got ugly for most of the 2nd.

[Tiduwho]

Ya know guys....everyone else (2nd place teams fighting for the wild card wise) in the NFC sucks. As of today, I think we would get one wild card and Detroit would get the other...no? As the Saints would take over as the NFC south leader, and we have the tie breaker over the Bucs. And everyone else sucks.

[Doors Allan Coe]

I'm holding out hope JA resigns Forte over the bye...

Bears would also have the tie breaker over the 4-3 Falcons.

[bonzo48280]

Detroit isn't even going to make the playoffs. I'll bet that right now

[rustysurf83]

I agree. Lions will finish 9-7.

[skwormin]

Just got back from the game!!

Was so fun!!


It was very nerve racking there at the end.. but glad the bears pulled one out.

Was one hell of an experience for my first Bears game...

and I wasted about £70 today.............

fuck me!!!

[Doors Allan Coe]

Roy Williams looks old and slow. He'd probably also be cut by the Rams.
.
Wrong


You are the only person claiming our receiving core isn't the worst. Not sure we're watching the same games.
.
I'm sure I'm not the ONLY PERSON claiming our WRs aren't the WORST in the leqgue. They aren't. You are wrong.



We aren't asking for franchise linemen. How about people who can block? Bryant McKinnie wouldn't look too bad right now would he? Look at the Packers. Their left tackle goes down and they insert Newhouse who's done a great job. He was the last pick in the 5th round of the 2010 draft. Who did we take much earlier that round? Joshua Moore who has since been released..

Newhouse gave up 2 sacks yesterday. So, he didn't do as well against the Vikings as our OL. But, no reason to give our guys credit.


I should just kep it to myself since you seem to have super secret info on former players agreeing our WRs are the worst in the league. Worst? Far from it.

[BotheDMBFan]

Eh, they're pretty fucking not so good. Us not having a true #1 is damaging as all get out. Roy looked like shit yesterday, TD catch aside. Smiling after dropping a near perfect pass always pisses me off too, regardless of who does it.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Ya I noticed Roy and Hester are always laughing after an easily catchable dropped ball. Stop laughing and catch the damn ball...

[BotheDMBFan]

We are currently in line for the second wild card spot. Just gotta hold on for the second half of the season. It's not terribly outrageous that we could go 11-5 or 10-6.

[Doors Allan Coe]

We're looking ok.

The Lions aren't unbeatable. Hell if they lose next week we'll be looking to be tied in 2nd place. I'm not terrified of the Eagles, but that will be a tough game. But, if Chicago wins that, they head home to try and even up against the Lions...

Luckily the worst part of our schedule is over and we're 4-3...

Any definitive word on Carimi yet? Will does he stand a chance of returning after the bye?

[BotheDMBFan]

He SHOULD be back.

If we can get out of the gate in our next 4 3-1, that would be splendid.

@Eagles
Lions
Chargers
@Raiders

If Chicago can go 3-1...that would be amazing. 7-4 heading into a 3 game stretch against KC/Denver/Seattle would be soooo promising.

[DMBcubs3641]

Carimi should be back for the Philly game.

[Doors Allan Coe]

Carimi should be back for the Philly game.

That would be awesome.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed Forte get his deal ironed out over the bye week.

[Tiduwho]

Its time for forte to hold out.

[gocubsgo3822]

I JUST got an AUTHENTIC J PEPPERS JERSEY for FREE!!!!!!!!

Bears can just franchise him for the next 3 years if they want to be dicks about it. Forte can't leave.

Bears studying free agent pool (http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/ct-spt-1027-bits-bears-chicago--20111027,0,3856051.story)
By Brad Biggs and Vaughn McClure

In a slow week with just two practices the Bears (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/chicago-bears-ORSPT000036.topic) are watching available free agents.

An NFL (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/national-football-league-ORSPT000007.topic) source said the team has put six players through tryouts at Halas Hall, a group including two safeties and three veteran defensive linemen.

In for a close look at Halas Hall was safety Darcel McBath, a Broncos (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/denver-broncos-ORSPT000040.topic) second-round draft pick in 2009, and fellow safety Tom Nelson (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/tom-nelson-PESPT0012835.topic), a Hersey product out of Illinois State who spent the last two seasons with the Bengals (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/cincinnati-bengals-ORSPT000037.topic). The Bears have struggled at safety but there is no indication the team will sign either player.

McBath was one of the Broncos' final cuts in September and he has been on the tryout circuit, recently working out for the Cowboys (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/dallas-cowboys-ORSPT000039.topic), Texans (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/houston-texans-ORSPT000043.topic) and Raiders (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/oakland-raiders-ORSPT000053.topic).

Three veteran defensive linemen also got a look, Chauncey Davis, Keyunta Dawson and Jovan Haye. Davis is a veteran who spent the previous six seasons with the Falcons (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/atlanta-falcons-ORSPT000032.topic). Dawson previously played for the Colts (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/indianapolis-colts-ORSPT000044.topic). Haye has been with four teams since 2005 and spent the previous two seasons with the Titans (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/tennessee-titans-ORSPT000061.topic). It could be the Bears want to stay up to date with available players for their emergency list.

The Bears also looked at Reggie Stephens, a center from Iowa State who made a pre-draft visit to Halas Hall in 2010. He was a seventh-round pick by the Bengals last year.

A long time ago it was a halftime show. Then it turned into a league. Not sure when exactly. In the Sun-Times sports section there's usually a daily article about women. That's where you'd most likely see the Bliss. Takes me back to my intern days when I had to cut up the papers.

[BotheDMBFan]

In watching ESPN the past month, I think they are starting to love the Cutlerz.

[gocubsgo3822]

Chris Harris was released

ChrisHarrisNFL Chris Harris
I was just released this morning by the Bears. Thank u for the opp to play football n do what I luv. I'm looking toward my next venture

[rustysurf83]

Chris Harris released. Going to sign some dude from Arlington.

[gocubsgo3822]

maybe its just that he was injured but he was realyl fucking bad

[Doors Allan Coe]

Wow, Chris Harris released...

He clearly wasn't perfect. But, it's always hard to fathom why we would cut quality depth like that. Maybe it's injury related. But, being that he has a history with the Bears, it's sad to see him cut on a bye week when were 4-3...

[DMBZeppelin]

It wasn't injury related. He started last week and was healthy. He got cut because he made the comment that he'd be ok with the benching if everyone was held to the same accountability.

[Doors Allan Coe]

It wasn't injury related. He started last week and was healthy. He got cut because he made the comment that he'd be ok with the benching if everyone was held to the same accountability.

Yeah, it must have nothing to do with the fact he's been torched and looked to be playing on the same level as Major Wright...

Oh and I read this on ESPN today....

Stat to note: Forte ranks No. 37 in the NFL in the percentage of his total rushing yards that have come after contact (43 percent), according to ESPN Stats & Information. That's not a knock on Forte as much as it is a credit to the Bears' run blocking. It means Forte has gained 383 of his 672 total yards before a defender has touched him.

Still looks like we have the worst OL and WR core in the league huh? Clearly Tice can't coach. It's such a shame our line is finally on the right side of 30...

[BotheDMBFan]

None of us has hated on Tice, we all know he is doing all that he can do with the shit we have.

[Doors Allan Coe]

None of us has hated on Tice, we all know he is doing all that he can do with the shit we have.

That's the point. Our line isn't as bad as cynics make it out to be.

They've excelled at run blocking. It's been one of the best years I can remember since Lovie has been here. Sometime out OL struggles pass blocking. But, we talk like Cutler is the only QB to be sacked this season. Is it crazy to think young players with ability can improve under a great coach? Or is it crazy to think the only way for a line to improve is by signing a free agent? Our linemen pull like bastards too...they look great.

[DMBZeppelin]

Yeah, it must have nothing to do with the fact he's been torched and looked to be playing on the same level as Major Wright...
So you cut the guy who looked like crap against the Lions coming off a hamstring injury... but you keep the head hunting Meriweather who's garbage, and Anthony Walters. Why didn't they start over Harris when Wright missed a game? That make sense to cut the guy who started when Wright goes down?

Great stat but do you actually watch our run plays? Forte displays great patience and anticipation. Despite people being out of position he uses his cutbacks to great effect and gets extra yards. One thing our o-line does well though is using athleticism to get our guards outside on stretch and sweeps. Though the Bucs really took it away in the 2nd half of the last game.

Do you watch this o-line? No one has gotten sacked more than Cutler. No one has been sacked in more consecutive games than Cutler. You act like "Oh this is just a decent line." when everyone laughs at what a joke it is. Do you watch how many missed assignments they blow with regularity? How many times they just lose their matchups one on one? Oh great the line didn't look like complete shit against a beat up d-line missing Gerald McCoy... guess it's all sunshine from here.

The Bears are a good team. If our receivers and o-line were as good as you claimed? We'd have won the Super Bowl last year. We'd probably be 2 wins better than we are right now. We had one of the worst offenses in the NFL last year. A lot of those people are still on this team. Usually when we face a good defense this offense falls apart.

[Doors Allan Coe]

Well, maybe you haven't been watching the Chicago Bears. Specials Teams play adds value.

1) Chris Harris clearly lost a step.
2) Chris Harris doesn't play special teams
3) Chris Harris has a big mouth

I like Chris Harris. But, lets be honest he's just as middle of the road as our current guys except he can't contribute on ST, one of our strongest phases of the game. Plus, he seems like his mouth didn't help him. Asking for a trade didn't help him. We can visually see he's lost a step. Who is Chris Harris to DEMAND a trade? He made his own bed. The Bears are 4-3, if JA can sign Forte suddenly we go from the team with THREE contract squabbles, to 1...Lance Briggs...who ironically has years left on his deal.

I personally never played safety. But, it's not as if Harris blowing coverages and letting up huge plays with a mix of bad position and lack of speed is going to be missed. I'll miss his name and seeing him as a Bear. But, it's football stuff like this happens every year to tons of teams...and I concur Meriweather is just as brutal...just without all the lip service.

What do you think? Yes I watch the line play. I've watched them give up fewer and fewer sack since the season has gone on. I've watched our coaches adjust to the rushing schemes the were giving them the most trouble.

I agree Forte is playing great. But, he hasn't always looked so great. Since he's been here we've never had such athetic linemen. The pulling is amazing. Maybe you're not watching the games, on several of Forte big runs outside I've watched pulling linemen plow over defenders. That is something that wasn't happening last year at this time. Not even close.


Do you watch this o-line? No one has gotten sacked more than Cutler. No one has been sacked in more consecutive games than Cutler. You act like "Oh this is just a decent line." when everyone laughs at what a joke it is. Do you watch how many missed assignments they blow with regularity? How many times they just lose their matchups one on one? Oh great the line didn't look like complete shit against a beat up d-line missing Gerald McCoy... guess it's all sunshine from here..

There is difference between being decent and being the worst. That is were we differ. I see a decent line that has made progess since Week 1. You seemingly see the same line that was playing against the Giants last year.

Maybe you aren't the one watching the game. The line doesn't give up all the sacks. If you look at sack totals for the past few weeks and rushing totals the Bears line visually and statistically isn't the worst.

I played OL for years. I understand we disagree, but I'm not crazy. Maybe in the horse blinded world of blaming the OL for every sack I'm some radical, but it's not all on the OL. Throw Martz in there. Throw Cutler in there. Throw the TE in there. And not to be a bastard, but Forts has been known to blow a block a time or two. It happens.

But, the line has improved big time since this time last season. Soon we'll have a young line, with players the can play in any position. I like the progress I've witnessed. I'm anxious to see a fully healthy Carimi return.


The Bears are a good team. If our receivers and o-line were as good as you claimed? We'd have won the Super Bowl last year. We'd probably be 2 wins better than we are right now. We had one of the worst offenses in the NFL last year. A lot of those people are still on this team. Usually when we face a good defense this offense falls apart.

This isn't last year. Players progress. I know it's seems like such a crazy notion to you. But, players improve. Young players get better. Last year the OL we terrible and the WRS looked lost.

I don't see how you can even try to argue that our OL and WRs are a lost and over matched as last year. They aren't. The 2010 Bears aren't the same team as the 2011 Bears.

The Chicago Bears are 4-3. We just finished the hardest part of our schedule. I'm thrilled wre over .500 at this point. We lost to the Saints, Packers, and Lions. Two of those games were away. In my opinion we're on course to have a great season. Minus and injuried this unit is poised to succeed this year.

Do you think this team would be better than 4-3 with Kretuz on ice skates and Sims-Walker on the bench? I just find it so strage that while be both seems to like the Bears you find reasons to complain constantly. You'll scold almost every move the team makes, yet you won't give credit when you're hypothetical moves prove to be wrong.

[DMBZeppelin]

I like Chris Harris. But, lets be honest he's just as middle of the road as our current guys except he can't contribute on ST, one of our strongest phases of the game.
Who said he was great? If you think he wouldn't help this team this year you're crazy. If someone goes down you really want Walters starting? Chris Harris has usually played special teams.

The Bears are 4-3, if JA can sign Forte suddenly we go from the team with THREE contract squabbles, to 1...Lance Briggs...who ironically has years left on his deal.
Forte keeps saying the Bears don't think he's elite. His price has only gone up. What makes you think JA is going to get a deal done?

and I concur Meriweather is just as brutal...just without all the lip service.
Not only is Meriweather awful. His head hunting might get him suspended. NFL has said they are worried about him. It really help out depth if he missed games from being a dumb ass.

I agree Forte is playing great. But, he hasn't always looked so great.
Ok :confused

Question: Do you know why Forte is better this year?

There is difference between being decent and being the worst. That is were we differ. I see a decent line that has made progess since Week 1. You seemingly see the same line that was playing against the Giants last year.
Progress since Week 1?

Week 1: Line did an ok job.
Week 2: 2010 bad
Week 3: Awful
Week 4: Great run blocking terrible pass protection
Week 5: 2010 bad
Week 6: Bad but changing of system allowed Cutler to escape pressure
Week 7: Line did decent.

I don't see this steady progress you're talking about. We've gotten worse since Week 1.

Maybe you aren't the one watching the game.
You must be the only one who gets the games. Every analyst who watches football isn't seeing what you are.

I played OL for years.
Why does this matter? If it did then me telling you a Hall of Fame player says the line and receivers suck should hold merit above you. Hell just about every former player analyst says our receivers and o-line are bad. Go listen to WBBM during the game. Tom Thayer is a former linemen and was good in his prime. He'll tell you when the Bears o-line is sucking.

I understand we disagree, but I'm not crazy. Maybe in the horse blinded world of blaming the OL for every sack I'm some radical, but it's not all on the OL.
No one blames EVERY sack on the o-line. A majority are clearly their fault. I wish Cutler could hold on to the ball long enough to be the problem. Most of the time he doesn't have that leisure.

Throw Martz in there. Throw Cutler in there. Throw the TE in there. And not to be a bastard, but Forts has been known to blow a block a time or two. It happens.
Ya it's everyone is to blame but the o-line :ugh

But, the line has improved big time since this time last season. Soon we'll have a young line, with players the can play in any position. I like the progress I've witnessed. I'm anxious to see a fully healthy Carimi return.
When is this soon? What does is say about our o-line when a rookie tackle is key? I love Carimi, but it speaks to our lack of depth when you miss a rookie tackle so much you have guards at right tackle.

This isn't last year. Players progress. I know it's seems like such a crazy notion to you. But, players improve. Young players get better. Last year the OL we terrible and the WRS looked lost.
That's why a couple weeks ago Tice said the linemen needed to start earning their paychecks because he thought they sucked. I guess it's a crazy notion to you that most o-lines perform better than ours.

I don't see how you can even try to argue that our OL and WRs are a lost and over matched as last year.
Johnny Knox was better last year. Bennett hasn't been here. Roy Williams has showed up for one game and has hurt us from being out there. Guess you see all these thing as positives though. It's very obvious how bad the receivers are. The line has a couple young athletic linemen we'd like to develop. Who knows if they will, but we have ZERO depth.

Do you think this team would be better than 4-3 with Kretuz on ice skates and Sims-Walker on the bench? I just find it so strage that while be both seems to like the Bears you find reasons to complain constantly. You'll scold almost every move the team makes, yet you won't give credit when you're hypothetical moves prove to be wrong.
You can say what you want, but most of watch the Bears and see a flawed team. Why? Because we're realist. You on the other hand have not criticized a SINGLE Angelo move. If so which ones? He made a lot of moves. What were the bad ones? You defense his signings, his drafts, ect. It doesn't make any sense.

An average General Manager would know the two units that needed improvement were o-line and receiver. We drafted a tackle and just said "Well that's it." you can find quality linemen later in the draft. Roy Williams has had one decent game this year. It took him till Week 7 to get his first touchdown. He has 13 catches on the year. I hope he can keep up this great pace. Maybe he'll get to 30!

There's no denying the fact Angelo made moves to run this system and its all been an utter failure. We can't run the system. Our receivers don't get open when running the more complex routes, and our o-line can't block it. You have an offensive coordinator and a playbook who were brought here to do one thing. We can't let him execute his plan because Angelo hasn't fielding a team that can do it. That's TERRIBLE. How many teams can't run their systems because the GM won't get the personnel to run it.

Sims-Walker would have been a better fit in this system than St. Louis. You constantly act like Angelo mad better moves instead. A lot of us wanted Sims-Walker here. I'd still have taken him. If he's so awful why did the Jags snap him right back up when he got released? At least Sims-Walker was learning a new system with Josh McDaniels. Roy went to the Pro Bowl in this system. Why does he suck?

Sims-Walker (26)
12 catches - 150 yards

Williams (29)
13 catches - 190 yards

I think I'm going with the 26 year old who still might have some upside to him. Williams came in here, was handed a starting job, and has done nothing to earn it. He doesn't produce like a starter. As for Kreutz he'd probably have been benched here as well. That MCL is not holding up. That's why you signed Chris Spencer. The team would be better if Garza was at right guard. He doesn't make the transition to center. Then the guy Angelo signed to play center would be ready to go.

Overall Angelo misses on most of his draft picks. He's missed on a load of recent free agent signings. At least he gave Taylor $7 mil last year and would only offer Forte $6 mil per. Just a genius this Angelo.

[Tiduwho]

It's not just SACKS. It's that even when Cutler wasn't getting sacked, he was getting hit and knocked down after 2 seconds on play after play after play. Which resulted in him looking scared and paranoid anytime he dropped back for a 7 step drop.

[Doors Allan Coe]

DAMN IT!!

I typed a whole post dedicated to responding to you ZEPP. But, ants gave me some sort of multiple log-in error and it's fucking gone. Wow, I wasted so much time...

I guess I'll paraphrase.

Basically, at times you act the same way I do. At times you act like a cynic. I can go back and find posts about how you loved our Pepper/Manu/Taylor free agency pull. But, now JA is stupid because of it. You didn't always loathe Martz. You didn't always mind the idea of trading Olsen.

You can go check my posts. I'm pretty fair. I feel like sometimes you just get on a kick where you spend more time bitching about the problems than complimenting the positives. It's not as if Chicago has been out of it. They were in the NFC Championship. They are 4-3. I'll bring up once again how you professed that you hoped we lose out so Lovie and JA get fired.


I understand it's a message board. But, that's why we debate. I'm sure in person we'd concede that it's not as bright as I paint it, but not as dark as you paint it.

I see the drafts. I see the moves JA makes. I don't want to imply he's perfect or amazing. But, he's far from the bottom of the league. He's has moderate success. You know you can think of teams off the top of your head that haven't even come close to Chicago. Bills/Rams/Lions/Redskins/Raiders/Dolphins/Broncos/Browns/Bengals/Jaguars.... should I go on? Panthers/Seahawks/Niners/Texans... These are teams have have been big losers. Since 2005 the Bears worst record was 7-9. Most of these teams would be viewed as improved if they made 7-9. Throw that on top of the fact they've all had great picks 1st round spots. Would the Lions be great without Stafford/Johnson/Suh? You gotta be bad to get so many college studs...

I look back on the Draft and post lockout FA and I don't find any glaring flaw in JAs approach. Colon stayed with the Steelers. I know you would like JA to overspend on somebody with name value like Waters, but I'm sure Tice is helping evaluate OL propects. I like Tice. You seem to like Tice. I don't understand how you have trouble connecting the dots. JA isn't soley acting upon his own will. He's consulting and working with the coaches during the offseason.

We disagree on Kretuz, Olsen, the value of our WRs, and the potential of our OL. Kreutz is a formality because you know he wasn't playing better than Garza is. Olsen you've changed your mind on a couple of times. I also know we're pretty close on our views of the WRs. I just tend to look at the upside. You tend to look for what's missing. We both agree we need a true #1. But, I didn't see one this offseason...you seemingly did.

You hate JA. I don't mind JA. You like the Bears. I like the Bears. We're more alike that it seems. I just get enough ragging on the Bears watching ESPN, NFL Network and listening to the radio... So when I come in here I get to take out my aggression of Trent Dilfer and other on you...

[Doors Allan Coe]

Lions claim Harris....

gulp...

Well looks like cutting Harris just got even more interesting. Our next game against the Lions just got that much more exciting...

[DMBZeppelin]

Basically, at times you act the same way I do. At times you act like a cynic. I can go back and find posts about how you loved our Pepper/Manu/Taylor free agency pull. But, now JA is stupid because of it. You didn't always loathe Martz. You didn't always mind the idea of trading Olsen.
I loved the Peppers signing. I want never a big Manu fan. They got Taylor because they didn't think Forte fit the system. Kind of shows you they can't self evaluate. If we had just signed Manu and Taylor I wouldn't have even cared. Most of my excitement that offseason was over a future hall of famer.

You can go check my posts. I'm pretty fair. I feel like sometimes you just get on a kick where you spend more time bitching about the problems than complimenting the positives. It's not as if Chicago has been out of it. They were in the NFC Championship. They are 4-3. I'll bring up once again how you professed that you hoped we lose out so Lovie and JA get fired.
Ok first off you only get upset with me about things EVERYONE in the NFL world post. Why that is I don't know. Though I'm one of the few people in this thread that will engage you. Mostly because I like watching Bears but you do realize a majority of the NFL world disagrees with your opinion? Even if you're right and you got the inside scoop on us. You act as if everything I say is just "Where is this coming from!?" it's a head scratcher.

I said that early last season when the team was completely mismanaged. I said that same day I was just over reacting in ONE post. Like most of us I couldn't believe what we were seeing. I wasn't the only one saying it, but you continue to bitch about what I said. You really need to re-read my post that day. Outside of that one post how often do I say we should keep Lovie? ALL THE TIME. I don't think Lovie is the problem. Angelo and Martz have held this team back.

If I'm not mistaken haven't you been very anti-Cutler and Forte in the past?

I see the drafts. I see the moves JA makes. I don't want to imply he's perfect or amazing. But, he's far from the bottom of the league. He's has moderate success. You know you can think of teams off the top of your head that haven't even come close to Chicago.
Moderate is a nice way of putting it. People never think "Oh look at the Bears roster. How great is that? If only Angelo was our GM." he's not a guy who's highly respected around the NFL. He hits on guys here and there. No one is saying he's ever had a decent draft pick. Guys with Jerry's track record don't last 10+ years like he has.

Would the Lions be great without Stafford/Johnson/Suh? You gotta be bad to get so many college studs...
:lol Would the Lions be great without the QB who has elite potential, the best defensive tackle, and best wide receiver in the NFL? Those are cornerstones of franchises. They have promising talent all over their roster. Sure the Lions were bad to get those picks, but they still have gotten it done.

You just have to look at the Packers to see what a good GM can do. They contended year after year while putting together the best roster in the NFL. All of their receivers would start on the Bears. They had o-line issues at one point, but they fixed it. They were able to give Rodgers the best chance to develop and succeed. What they've done via the draft and free agency the last few years makes the Bears look like a complete joke. In Chicago we should have a higher standard than below average.

I look back on the Draft and post lockout FA and I don't find any glaring flaw in JAs approach. Colon stayed with the Steelers. I know you would like JA to overspend on somebody with name value like Waters, but I'm sure Tice is helping evaluate OL propects. I like Tice. You seem to like Tice. I don't understand how you have trouble connecting the dots. JA isn't soley acting upon his own will. He's consulting and working with the coaches during the offseason.
You bitch at me about Kreutz every chance you get. Despite the fact Tice and Lovie wanted Kreutz back. Hell anytime I bring up Tice and Lovie disagreeing with Angelo you differ to Angelo and act like everyone is on board. Just weird.

Olsen you've changed your mind on a couple of times. I also know we're pretty close on our views of the WRs. I just tend to look at the upside. You tend to look for what's missing. We both agree we need a true #1. But, I didn't see one this offseason...you seemingly did.
I was fine with Olsen if it meant getting a real receiver. That we didn't do. Olsen didn't fit this system and had a terrible year with only 41 catches for 404 yards and 5 touchdowns. We'd be really lucky to get that out of Roy Williams at this point.

Our receivers are bad, but would be ok compliments to real recievers. You act like we shouldn't be upset at this situation. It's not as we lost some guys to free agency and there's only so much you can do in one off-season. Angelo hasn't built a good receiving core in 10+ years here. It's RIDICULOUS that our last 1,000 yard receiver was Booker back in 2002. Booker was here when Angelo got here.

This is a league that is BEGGING you to pass. All the rules are so you can pass. There's only so much a defense can do in this league. Instead of surrounding our offense with weapons we seem to draft undersized defensive players and safetys who will never see the field.

The highest receiver we've taken is probably Bennett in the 3rd round. Guess what? We red shirted him a year. Draft picks don't play in Chicago because we don't take impact players in the first three rounds. It's really really sad.

You hate JA. I don't mind JA. You like the Bears. I like the Bears. We're more alike that it seems. I just get enough ragging on the Bears watching ESPN, NFL Network and listening to the radio... So when I come in here I get to take out my aggression of Trent Dilfer and other on you...
Does it ever occur to you that the reason everyone rags on the Bears is because they are what they are? A very flawed team that wins games because of a couple key players. Even if you don't mind JA. You need to raise your standards. This is a big market team with a ton of history and tradition. We deserve better than this.

[GUnit]

I dream of the day that we snag a wr like dez bryant or julio jones etc etc. Why can't they do it? Just snag up one of these motherfuckers. Even the kid that cinci got this year aj green is a stud. We do have a very flawed team. I have to say that a new gm would be great at this point. Someone who wants to build a fucking powerhouse. Why not? We have the right franchise to do it... ton of $, great qb and rb. Solid d with peppers still in his prime. Get the shit done. There has been chances to get a wr and do everything else we want to do. I'm a season ticket holder and I pay a 100$ a game and that's a lot of cash every year to try and buy in that roy williams is gonna catch 100 ballls. That's the thing with the bears they go out and do shit like that and some people buy into it. Its become rediculous. Just go out and build a good team.

[Tiduwho]

The Saints losing today was actually bad for us if Atlanta or Tampa step up vs them. We want the Saints to run away with that division so our tiebreakers are in place. Beating the Eagles would be HUGE towards hoping for a wild card.

[GUnit]

Yep we need to go in and beat the eagles to keep the wild card hopes

[DMBZeppelin]

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/ct-spt-1031-bears-next--20111031,0,4647220.story

Key stat: The Bears have held quarterback Michael Vick (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/michael-vick-PESPT008492.topic) to a 76.2 passer rating over his career and sacked him once every 9.2 dropbacks.

[DMBZeppelin]

The Bears/Lions game on 11/13 has been moved to a 3:15 p.m. start (was originally a noon kickoff).

[Tiduwho]

Bears might not lose again this season.

[DMBcubs3641]

Monday night is gonna be a hell of a game. Worried about containing Vick and McCoy.

[bonzo48280]

We NEED to destroy this Philly scum. This game is too big and too important for late season wild card land.


I hear the Eagles are 9 point favorites though.

[nh187606]

The eagles would put it all together a week before Da Bears roll into town. I agree very important.

Hopefully the D still has Vick's number and Cutler gets time--I only ask for fractions of a second...is that so much?

Eagles giving 8....don't you have to take the points?

[Doors Allan Coe]

We NEED to destroy this Philly scum. This game is too big and too important for late season wild card land.

Wow.

I read 7 on Tuesday morning...

This might be a good game to bet the Bears. I feel like we always play Vick close. Hopefully it keeps going up...I'll take +10 on Sunday...

[patrick62181]

Forte needs to get paid already. I feel bad for him and that is not something I ever say about professional athletes regarding the amount of money they make. http://eye-on-football.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22475988/33081146

[Bron Yr Aur]

Yeah honestly it's kind of pathetic. They are using and abusing him, will franchise him for a couple of years and when he's worn down, let him try to find a big contract somewhere else (nobody's giving him a big contract at the age of 30). They are still way under the cap anyway if I'm not mistaken. It's just a dick move by the organization.

[cruscott35]

It's a non-emotional, smart business decision. I'd never pay big money for a RB. Ever.

[patrick62181]

I would just hold out starting now and be a dick right back at them. This team would be so screwed

[Doors Allan Coe]

It's a tough call.

It's smart businessw-wise. RBs aren't too hard to find in the draft. RBs usually have a big fall-off.

But, Forte isn't really your typical back. He's great at several aspects of the position. He's smart and has class, unlike the Chris Johnsons of the world. He works his ass off. He never makes excuses.

As a fan, I just don't understand why they don't pay him. They have so much extra cap room this year, I can't understand the reasoning against front loading a contract for him. He's not the typical bruiser RB. Barring injury a guy with his skill set will have a decent run ala Faulk.

But, we'll see. It's almost as if Chicago is counting on him getting hurt or regressing. Both of which are possible, but it's does seem counter productive. I guess that's just what Franchising is all about. I mean they just signed a new CBA, so no real reason to bitch business-wise. But, personally it a slap in Fortes face.

[skwormin]

It honestly seems like JA and the Bears front office have no idea what they are doing and treat everyone like shit.


Bears need to clean house just like the Cubs are.

[DMBcubs3641]

Forte was just on NFL32

[DMBZeppelin]

Copy and pasted the quotes from a longer article

http://www.suntimes.com/sports/8553081-606/matt-forte-feels-unappreciated-without-a-long-term-deal.html

‘‘The running back position is the most physically demanding on the field,’’ Forte said Tuesday. ‘‘Everyone acknowledges that. So to continue to give me the touches I’ve had since my rookie year but not award me a long-term contract sends the message that you’re OK grinding me into a pulp.’’

Asked if the lack of a contract extension affects his desire to stay with the franchise, Forte said: ‘‘It does a little bit. I love the team, I love my teammates, I love the coaches and I love Chicago. But when management messes with you like that, it puts you in the mind frame of wanting to go to a team that desires you. You’re not going to be happy, let’s say that.’’

Forte, though, acknowledged the Bears hold the leverage and said he’s growing weary of all the inquiries about his status.

‘‘There’s nothing I can do about it,’’ he said. ‘‘It’s up to them. They hold the contract extensions and the franchise tags in their hands.
‘‘It’s kind of getting old right now. Every time you talk to somebody, ‘How come they’re not paying you, man?’ I have no idea. I feel like if it was anybody else on any other team, I think they would have rewarded their player.’’

‘‘If they think by just slapping the franchise tag on me that’s going to silence anything, they’re sadly mistaken,’’ he said. ‘‘That’s not going to cure everything. It’s not a solution, I would say.’’

Teammates have lobbied on Forte’s behalf, and captain Brian Urlacher suggested after the victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in London that Forte was the most valuable player of the NFL. In addition, fans have taken to Twitter with a ‘‘Pay Forte’’ campaign. ‘‘I appreciate the support,’’ Forte said. ‘‘Obviously, I’m doing something right for everybody to support me that way. I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing, and hopefully I can get a contract extension instead of a franchise tag or whatever that is.’’

Adisa Bakari, Forte’s agent, said the key is fairness.

‘‘Matt has a desire to remain a Chicago Bear,’’ Bakari said. ‘‘He loves the community and loves playing for the organization, but he wants to be treated fairly .  .  . the way other teams have treated their top-performing players. Nothing more, nothing less.’’

[Tiduwho]

Wow.

I read 7 on Tuesday morning...

Pretty sure we're undefeated in any game he's started. We've gotta be at least 4-0 against him.

Urlacher > Vick.


Though we won't see any QB spying like the early days.

[TheLastStop123]

Vick is 0-3 against DA BEARS. huge game this week in philly. go birds haha.

[jaking1185]

It sounds like things are starting to get to Forte:

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Matt-Forte-says-Chicago-Bears-prefer-to-grind-him-into-a-pulp-than-pony-up-for-new-contract-110311

This is the first time I heard of him saying anything negative so far. He's been above board and towing the company line. He's right though.

[Tiduwho]

Ronight is the night gentlemen. We must dispose of this....Philadelphian scum.

[gocubsgo3822]

Not a single writer in the tribune predicted a bairz win.. Fuck them

[GUnit]

Can't believe the spread is -8 that philly team has been such a clusterfuck.

[davehead86]

Can't believe the spread is -8 that philly team has been such a clusterfuck.

So have we.

[gocubsgo3822]

it makes no sense to me. I think the belief is they will either blow the bairz our or lose

[skwormin]

Are we really supposed to lose this game tonight? Fuck Philly they aren't even that good

[DMBcubs3641]

lulz at being 8 point dogs. Philly hasn't impressed me at all this year. They looked good against a pretty flawed Dallas team last weekend.

[Bron Yr Aur]

The bye week really killed this thread, eh? Pretty dead in here lately. This should be an interesting game to really see where this team is at.

[Tiduwho]

Bears by 10 plus.

[DMBcubs3641]

Carimi is still out, correct?

[Tiduwho]

Yes carimi is indeed out. But we have Lance Louis!!!

[Tiduwho]

Really can't wait for this game to get started. Me and my girlfriend of almost two years just broke up last night, so I could use the distraction.

Need. Bayers.

[gocubsgo3822]

sorry bryan :(

[DMBcubs3641]

Bummer man, sorry. Go Bayers!

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Omgaaahhhhhh Da Bears are still so far away.... Bayers!!!!

[Tiduwho]

Cutler looking good.

Good God, this is so painful to listen to. I hate ESPN so so much.

He's THE BEST. He's SO TOUGH. Such an ELITE RUNNER.

SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[sean52692]

Gruden is the worst, imo

[lockman21]

Gruden and Jaws are both worse than stabbing myself in the ears with knives.

[Bron Yr Aur]

That call was bullshit.

[sean52692]

Gruden and Jaws are both worse than stabbing myself in the ears with knives.

:lol:lol

Jaws is awful, but he has his moments where he is useful. Gruden just rubs me the wrong way. those 1 on 1 interviews with him and a player or coach are creepy as fuck

[UCFish]

That call was bullshit.

agreed did not see shit

[sean52692]

Oh my god Major Wright!!!

[UCFish]

Nice Pick!!!!!

[sean52692]

That was Wright's first career interception

[skwormin]

Woooooot!!

[Bron Yr Aur]

Wow, another bullshit penalty.

[sean52692]

So glad Bennett is back

[sean52692]

Need to be more productive on 1st and 2nd down.

[Bron Yr Aur]

Wtf kind of play call is that? Good Lord.

[sean52692]

I didn't like that 2nd down call either. But it worked out there, seeing as we got a FG.

[Doors Allan Coe]

Robbie fuckin' Gould...

amazing

[UCFish]

Glad we got 3 but worst 3 plays ever?

[packersfan99]

Afraid of seeing the Eagles in January?

They can be dangerous, but really I just hate them more than the bears

Not good. Get up please Peppers.


Edit: Awwwww fuck me. His leg or knee. :BANG

[Doors Allan Coe]

oh no

peppers

[lockman21]

And that'll end his season.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Great. That looked pretty bad Peppers

[sean52692]

Good lord.

[Doors Allan Coe]

eagles fans everywhere must be hgh fiving

[DMBcubs3641]

Shit, he's done.

[sean52692]

Our pass coverage has been solid thus far.

[Doors Allan Coe]

Melton's break out night is upon us?

[sean52692]

Urlacher is out of his mind tonight!

[lockman21]

Word is Lovie is thinking about moving Hester to DL to replace Peppers.

[bonzo48280]

I'm scared to death about Peppers

[Doors Allan Coe]

well atleast they are hitting vick

[Tiduwho]

Peppers is back in.

[Doors Allan Coe]

Peppers is fucking back!!!!!

[bonzo48280]

Peppers is such a badass

[lockman21]

Whew. Hester almost had to take a couple snaps out there on the line.

[Doors Allan Coe]

Sack peppers!!!

[UCFish]

Guess Peppers is OK....lolz

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

I'm scared to death about PeppersWell he looks fine! lol

[Tiduwho]

Damnit, really wished he would have missed that.

[Doors Allan Coe]

Cutler and this O really need to march down field like men and score a fucking touchdown

[Doors Allan Coe]

Hester time???

[bonzo48280]

Cutler and his cute butt need to show us how big their dicks are

[DMBZeppelin]

Finally home from work and get to enjoy the game. I was going crazy cheering in my car. Loving everything so far. This could not be a bigger game. If we win the next two games we can control the wild card. This game being the most important since we'd own a lot of tie breakers. Just need the Saints to win the south.

[Tiduwho]

Swing a big dick out there boys. Let's two minute these fucks.

[Tiduwho]

Drawn into a false start much there?

[DMBZeppelin]

Forte I'm gonna need 300 yards from scrimmage and 2 TD's to make up for your fumble.

[sean52692]

Lucky that wasnt a pick

[Tiduwho]

Cutler looks flustered.

[DMBZeppelin]

That was either tipped or just a terrible pass.

[lockman21]

This is painful.

[Doors Allan Coe]

wow

that was tebow-esque

[sean52692]

God damn. Just an overthrow by Cutler here. Sloppy sloppy

edit: cutler

Interception. It's coming.
