1. Devin Hester is a true reciever. He had several big plays today and looked the part like never before. Lets hope this continues. 2. Mike martz can adjust a game plan. His changing up the game plan was masterfull. Knowing his line was in trouble he took it out of the lines hands started the quick passing game that did not require a lineman to hold his block. Absolutely Genius. I say Genius because I never seen it from a Team in chicago before. Great win. No last minute blow ups. Truely a coaching win.

Didn't know where to put this. I heard Jarrett, Dexter, Sweat, and Booker are working out together in Florida with a pass rush specialist.( Didn't see his name mentioned.) Clearly Jarrett had to have a lead role in putting this together. I thought this shows a leadership position getting players together. I also heard Olin Kreutz saying he was working with Kiran A at his gym. These are the type of commitments that is going make this team jell.

I'll be at the game. I hope we can atleast stay in the thing.

I'm making this so early because week 4 was so f***ing disgusting. Cutler: 12-23, 123 yards Forte: 19 rushes, 60 yards, 1 TD Taylor: 11 rushes, 40 yards Defense gets a TD and with a Steve Smithless Carolina team, the Bears elite D will eat Clausen alive. I'll be at the game for my annual Bears road trip. Bear down! Bears 23-6

Big day today! Draft Picks: Round 4: picks #19 (117) #26 (124) #29 (127) Round 5: pick #11 (150) Round 6: picks #10 (185) & #31 (206) Round 7: pick #9 (230) I'm glad it's raining here in Central Illinois so I have the perfect excuse to waste the entire day following the draft!

If the first quarter is any indicator, we're going to see a repeat of last year. The offense is going to have to score 30 ppg to even be in some of these games. I have zero faith in Mel Tucker. Also, Briggs is done. He can't run anymore.

Hester didn't show up to TC today. (neither did Tillman, Kreutz, Dvoracek, and another player, but that's for another thread at another time). Thoughts??

Time to get the meatheads all steamed up. Tim Tebow should be our backup QB.

Year 2 QB - QBR Tracker Penix - 83.7 QBR - 298 yds, 1 TD, 1 sack, and 21 rushing yards. 319 Total Yards. Lost. Daniels - 55.1 QBR - 233 yds, 1 TD, 3 sacks, and 68 rushing yards. 301 Total Yards. Won. Maye - 39.3 QBR - 287 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT, 4 sacks, and 11 rushing yards. 298 Total Yards. Lost. Nix - 19.2 QBR - 176 yds, 1 TD, 2 INT, 1 sack, and 18 rushing yards + 1 fumble lost. 194 Total Yards. Won. A few things to note, Nix saw the 2nd lowest Pressure Rate of any QB this week at 18.6%, while Daniels saw the 3rd lowest Pressure Rate at 21.6%. Those two QBs had it easy, yet Nix looked really really bad for a QB at home in the 2nd year of the same …

Win out and youre in.

Cutler: 23-30, 297 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT Forte: 16 rushes, 61 yards, 5 catches, 98 yards Knox: 6 catches, 67 yards, 1 TD Olsen: 3 catches, 29 yards, 1 TD Aromashodu: 4 catches, 45 yards, 1 TD Bears 33-9

I know Vrabel is still in the discussion, but it seems like these 3 guys would be the leading candidates as Offensive Options at HC: 1. Ben Johnson - DET is 3rd in EPA/Play, 1st in TDs, 2nd in YPG, best OLine in NFL, Goff 4th in TD Passes, 2nd in Passing Yards 2. Joe Brady - BUF is 2nd in EPA/Play, 2nd in TDs, 8th in YPG, Allen is an alien 3. Liam Coen - TB is 6th in EPA/Play, 5th in TDs, 3rd in YPG, Mayfield 3rd in TD Passes, 4th in Passing Yards It is really hard to strip away some of the artificial things that would not carry over to the Bears, if one of these guys came over. Obviously the first thing that stands out is the DET's OLine, Ben Johnson would …

After his quotes on the Final Word last night about the media and the fans, he can go. Paraphrasing - "Our fans are the only fans in the division that boo their team." "Two people I don't care about - the fans and the media. They obviously don't know what they are talking about." Goodbye, Brian. Go fxxk yourself. Peace

Wasn’t sure where else to put this so I started one. Probably means we’ll see more of Sanborn(?). Think they’ll add anyone else, anywhere?

Bears try to make it 2 straight against the Boys, in the house that Jerry Jones built. Here's your game thread.

Looks good so far. Line is actually looking good. Cutler is getting rid of the ball. Martz is calling nice quick plays. Keep it rolling.

It is a little late, but in honor of ITC3, I'll take over running the draft contest this year. Please submit a first round mock draft to me via email (preferably in excel) to Bullsback@gmail.com . Please list from the #1 pick in the round to the last pick in the first round (you don't need to put the team name down as I will solely be looking at where a player is picked, not by whom they are picked). The person who has the most correct picks (regardless of trades, I will just go down the list and if the guy is picked at the number you said you will get one point) wins. I have no idea what the tie-breaker would be, but maybe someone can come up with someth…

Cutler: 20-34, 234 yards, 2 TD, 3 INT Forte: 13 rushes, 36 yards, 3 catches, 78 yards, 1 TD Taylor: 5 rushes, 17 yards Hester: 2 catches, 35 yards, 1 TD Bears 23-20

Just checking in to see if we will be continuing our TalkBears Keeper and non-Keeper leagues this year? I believe Drunkbomber is the Commish for the keeper league, but I have not seen him on here in a month or so. With that said, are the past managers still interesting in continuing the leagues this year? Any other members wanting to join in?
