Bearstalk

The Bears have 7 games left, 3 against suspected playoff teams (DETx2 and CLE), but none of those teams are the elite (SF, PHI, KC, BAL). @ DET - this is probably a loss, Fields first game back, but it is after a mini-bye and DET is traveling back from a SUN game in LA. @ MIN - the Bears should've won the first game, now without Cousins, I think the Bears get back to 1-1 against them here. BYE vs DET - this would be the 2nd game after and extra break, if there ever was a game they could win, it is this one. I am going upset here. @ CLE - I am going with loss here, but the Browns offense doesn't scare me. vs ARZ - regardless of QB, this team is as bad as…

From an article on the Sun Times, this is a bit scarey..... (maybe we should trade down )

Cutler 21-29, 219 yards, 2 TD's Forte 18 rushes, 123 yards, 1 TD, 2 catches, 9 yards Wolfe 4 rushes, 19 yards, 3 catches, 23 yards Bennett 4 catches, 39 yards, 1 TD Hester 6 catches, 76 yards, 1 TD Knox 3 catches, 32 yards Olsen 3 catches, 28 yards Bears 31-9

Riddeau resigned per the SCORE. Peace

If you were the GM, and the players in the poll were available at our selections, who would you take. I don't want to here that he won't be there when we pick either. Ya never know, and this is a silly mock. My choices were. 1-Ryan Clady OT I believe the Bears will be looking to change blocking schemes to a Zone Blocking Scheme and Clady is the best fit for that type of offense. 2-Malcom Kelly WR Even though he's falling on draft boards b/c he hasn't ran yet for scouts, if he's available at 44, the Bears cannot pass him up. A big possesion receiver that would fit nice in the WCO 3a-Ray Rice RB Even though the Bears like what …

So apparently Brian Billick has invented a new stat, and it actually looks pretty smart. He calls it the "Fox-Tox Rating" (which is sort of a dumb name, I admit) and it's basically a composite of turnovers and what he calls "explosive" plays (runs over 12 yards or passes over 20.) It's basically the differential in turnovers (turnovers created on defense minus turnovers committed on offense) taken together with the differential in big plays (big plays on offense minus big plays allowed on defense.) It's apparently a good predictor of success: a good Fox-Tox rating correlates very well with winning and making the playoffs, and a bad one correlates well with losing. …

Ian Rapoport on Twitter: "The #Bears are re-signing CB Tracy Porter, source said. They rejuvenated his career there.

First, I don't know what to make of what was said at the press conferences with Angelo and Lovie after our last game. Also later thru newspaper and radio interviews. Plus toss in with Turner chiming in with his views. Does it sound like their all on the same page? I must admit Lovie has some big cajunas to come out and say he will be more of HC/DC, Babich DC/LB , hiring Marinelli DL/assistant HC and Hoke DB. If this does not workout next season ( which I pray it does work ) even with or without some help from FA's or within the Bears Org. lovie is putting his head on the block. I would consider the minimum would be a top 10 Defense a success. On offense,…

From the Trib, http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune....s-could-mi.html Harris says he will play, but Lovie doesn't sound as sure. The way harris has played, does it matter. I honestly wonder if Dusty and Harrison would not be a better starting duo of Harris is in fact hurting.

Ok on the Bears to do list for the draft and FA the following is needed TE=check Bennett.......cut Davis/Spearth OT=check Bushrod......Webb to back up or RT? MLB/OLB=......Urlacher/Roach....Draft either Olgetree or Bostic OG=..... Moore or draft WR=.....Knox gone need speed guy Austin/Goodwin? DB=......replace Moore and maybe Hayden too

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62-zJzB-chA http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/...avanaugh-video/ Last word on the Aaron Rodgers-Jan Cavanaugh video Posted by Mike Florio on January 17, 2011, 6:31 PM EST When we posted on Sunday the item regarding video from WBAY-TV showing Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers breezing by a breast cancer patient hopeful that he’d sign her hat, we knew there would be a reaction. Packers fans, basking in the franchise’s biggest win since Brett Favre left town, have no interest in any criticism of their new green-and-golden boy. It’s obvious. It’s predictable. And we don’t blame them for being protective of their sta…

Great write-up by the same guy who did the offensive lineman grades earlier in the year. http://www.chicitysports.com/2013/12/30/th...mock-offseason/

With the developing rift between Jeff Fisher and Vince Young heating up in Tennessee, things are starting to look like they both can't return next year. if that's true, given the guarantee'd $ that Young is due, and recent statements from the owner of the Titans supporting Vince Young, you gotta wonder if Jeff Fisher will be looking for a new home. He might be a natural fit for Chicago. He's proven, steady, defensive oriented, not too volatile, a winner who isn't available due to having lost or not having experience. And of course, hes a member of the 1985 Chicago Bears defense. Peppers will fit any scheme, and it's time to retool the DTs anyway, so starting a n…

Plenty of room if we see a FA lineman we like... http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/08/25/...s-of-august-25/ Kansas City Chiefs $31.9 million Tampa Bay Buccaneers $27.8 million Green Bay Packers $24.7 million Buffalo Bills $20.9 million Philadelphia Eagles $19.0 million New Orleans Saints $17.7 million Miami Dolphins $16.2 million Jacksonville Jaguars $13.3 million New York Giants $12.3 million Tennessee Titans $11.8 million Dallas Cowboys $9.6 million Cleveland Browns $9.4 million Chicago Bears $9.2 million San Diego Chargers $9.2 million Seattle Seahawks $8.8 million Atlanta Falcons…

So, this is the type of haul we could get by trading back. It would definitely be sick to get 9 picks in the first three rounds. A couple of the odd looking picks are Johnny Wilson and Beaux Limmer. I'm converting Wilson to TE and Limmer to OG. Limmer is an absolute freak athlete, who should make an excellent guard. F it, Bagent could make an eventual playoff run if we get this stacked. My official vote will come at the end of combine...

As some of you might recall, I posted my highschool highlight tape on here last year. Well, after one year at JuCo, I have another highlight tape to share with you all. I am #62 and playing Right Tackle. I am in the Navy or White tops with gray pants. Started every game and did not miss a single snap. I am hoping to go D-I and am 90% certain I will stay 1 more year at JuCo in hopes of getting the best offers possible. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRp0rHIfCeM

It is PFF and their subjective evaluations but I think we all know Daniels is improving each week. Still some things are just indisputable facts like the statement below. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-after-a-slow-start-bears-guard-james-daniels-is-emerging-as-a-top-rookie-lineman Much more at the link.. In Week 11, Daniels was tasked with stopping many of the Minnesota Vikings’ large-bodied linemen. Throughout the game, he blocked Everson Griffen, Linval Joseph and Sheldon Richardson, among others. On 40 pass-block snaps, he allowed 0 pressures to a unit with the seventh-most sacks and 14th-most pressures. Since Joseph joined the Vikings in…

According to 670 the score, Bears negotiating with Lovie Smith on a two year extension.
