Bearstalk

To quote Butthead. This sucks more than anything has ever sucked before. We had them down 24 -14 with just over 3 min left and couldn't finish the deal. We let them drive at will and put up 10 unanswered points to force over time, then we nearly gave them the win in OT if not for the grounding penalty then we pin them deep, stop them then get a stupid freakin personal foul, that gives them a fee first down then we let them drive the length of the field give them a chip shot FG to win. We are 1-2 and should be 3-0 but we can't get out of the way of our own stupidity. We suck worse than any freaking team in the leage. We are a sick joke of a team I'm getting sick…

I'm very concerned with this team's well being right now. If you ask Lovie, "we're 3-1 in the first quarter" of the season. The way I see it- the Bears have the worst OL in the history of history. The way this franchise has put together a team is laughable. They trade an adequate QB, 2 first round picks and a 3rd round pick for Jay Cutler. They invest $22m per season in this franchise QB. They pay d**k in guys who could be even described as "average" offensive linemen and instead sign guys who should be working construction. I'm confused. Yet, the Packers have a franchise QB, and they draft a guy like Bryan Bulaga to improve the OL both now AND in the future. They ha…

Conditioning has Rex Grossman optimistic about 2008 A good article on Rex and his attempt to win the starting position at QB. I must admit, I admire his work ethics mentioned in the article. He is definately attempting to do everything possible to turn his career around. Will it be enough? Did he wait too long to work his butt off? Time will tell, I will be anxious to see how this translates on the field this Saturday. Unfortunately, I have a fantasy football league draft at 6:30 PM Central for a league at work so I will have to watch a recorded version after the draft is over. Therefore, I will not be able to be on the foum to comment during the game and …

How confident are you in the Bears roster going into the season, today? Knowing that Poles has overhauled almost the entire roster in 2 years has me feeling pretty good. I think he needs one more offseason to hit the sweet spot, but we are going to be a pesky team this year. Knowing how last season turned out, how many close games the Bears lost, the fact that 30% of the players on the 53-man from last year can't make an NFL roster this year, and that Poles has also upgraded half of the key contributors has me drinking a little of the Koolaid. On offense, compared to opening day 2022, the Bears have an upgrade at WR1, WR2, TE2, C, and RT. On defense, you ca…

What are your thoughts about Justin Fields? Is he the real deal, or is he another Ohio State QB? DVOA has him 30th with -29.3%, QBR has him dead last (31st) with 25.2. His QB Rating is 73.2. Those all are historically low and rarely do QBs improve significantly in any of these metrics. They do improve, but even with normal improvement, he would only get to fringe starter, which is somewhat alarming. So is he capable of improving his DVOA from -29.3% to something like +10%? That would be a 40% increase, which rarely happens. DVOA rarely fluctuates more than 20-25% season to season. So 40% would be massive for one season. In the same offense, with a smaller s…

I listen to a ton of bears podcasts and read almost every article written on them , I'm bored, and so many of these bears people place CB as one of their important needs. A lot of them are mocking a CB either as the first or second pick. My logic tells me that the bears are going all in on winning this year. As I look at needs, I have to look at who is already on the team. Tolliver, Burns, Robinson Xavier Crawford, Denmark, Fuller, Joseph, McManis, Skine, and Shelly. They have a lot of capital invested in the position already. Knowing which ones are good or not are still a question but they have many options At S they have 5 , 1 star and a backup that…

He now holds the Bears single season receiving records for Receptions and Yards.

They earned it!

F yeah!

Two Pro Bowls in his first two years. Forte got snubbed, he's third in the league in total yards and has 10 TDs.

I just wanted to pause and congratulate Richard Dent on his official enshrinement into the Football Hall of Fame. Great work and again CONGRATS to you sir!!!! This brings the total of Bear enshrinees to 30 ... a record http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chica...ll_Hall_of_Fame

Congrats to Brad for winning this year's championship, and a big thanks to Ary for his work as the commish.

Congrats to Brad and MyDeflatedBalls as the TalkBears Keeper Champion for 2018. He completely dominated down the stretch riding Mahomes, McCaffrey and Kittle to the promised land. I got cold feet and started Jones over Anderson and it will cost me the championship. Crazy how one or two moves decide the season.

11 Return TDs in 2 seasons. Silly. That doesn't even include his FG return last year. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3173810

The one consistent bright spot has been Forte this season and he finally eclipsed the 1000 yard mark as a rookie. Congrats, hats off.

It seems there are a few others besides me who felt he played well. Admittedly there wasn't a lot of competition coming out of last years draft but nonetheless there were far lower expectations of Conte in just his second year at FS and first year in the NFL. http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=8589

I hate to get too weird on you guys and I know this is not Bears or even football related, but what happened in Connecticut yesterday to those kids is tragic. God bless those people

Not sure how this guy is better than Robbie Gould? I would assume we will see a new kicker next year unless he turns it around soon. Peace

He was released and appears to be an absolute locker room treasure. And that's on top of being a damn fine fit for the 3-4. His stats drop off is directly related to the move to a 4-3. He could be a great mid-range guy. Of course, OLB is about the last position of need, so there is that.
