regardless of the outcome, which seriously could ge either way, who is your guy? SHINE:Dusty Dyvorcek. He is gonna be the DT on the field most and hes playing against a rookie (Jamey Richard - 7thRD) Honorable mentions: Kyle Orton, i have a feeling he will get people talking, "Throw it long to Hester!!!" Matt Forte, McFadden who? DIM: No surprise here, Dannieal Manning. Defensive line may help him, but hes got a tough task to cover the Colts slot recievers (A. Gonzales) and hes proven time and again he couldnt cover a pool for winter Honorable mentions: Tommie Harris, really needs to stay on the field and abuse the 3 backup interior lineman. Whoever th…

Im embarrassed for them.

INJURY REPORT AND IMPLICATIONS Chicago Bears (1-0) at Carolina Panthers (1-0) By Michael Nudo Jake Delhomme has returned to form (Getty Images). BEARS OFFENSEcolor> vs. PANTHERS DEFENSEcolor> The Bears welcomed back offensive tackle Fred Miller with a one year deal on Wednesday. He’ll provide valuable depth, especially since the Bears are carrying injured rookie Chris Williams on the active roster. John Tait has moved over to the right side and shows up on the report this week with a sore groin. The offensive line faces a different challenge from the Colts. The Panthers boast a gigantic defensive line, anchored by tackle Maake Kemoeatu, who checks in at …

Some seasons you can't point to a defining moment, which shaped the course of the season, for better or for worse. In 2001 I'd say it was the miracle catch by Raymont Harris vs. San Fran, and then the following interception for a return by Mike Brown. In 2002 I'd say it was Leon Johnson trying to catch the punt with his face-mask. In 2007, when the Bears had the lead vs. Dallas and Bernard Berrian let a certain touchdown bounce of his hands. In 2008, the Bears have moment, we have a 17 to 3 lead, and we had a Carolina team that looked frustrated. Greg Olsen hands Carolina the ball in scoring position. Carolina scores, momentum shifts . . . the end. …

I've just got that sinking feeling that it's 5 wins or less. We've got no chance vs the Eagles and confidence will be very low. I expect you'll be hearing the "they've tuned Lovie out" chants loud and clear Monday morning. I hope I'm wrong but something tells me there's a big downward spiral on it's way. Go Bears

My new son was born today at 8:02am CST, 8 lbs 9 oz and 21.25 inches long. Mom and he are doing great, 10 fingers, 10 toes, and 3 legs.

This is the way I saw it, being there live. 1. Mike Brown- go away, pu$$y. You're done, don't matter how much any of us like to hear that. 2. Steltz played well coming off the bench. He was all over the field. 3. I hope that rumor is the truth, because I'm not sure how much faith I have in Rex. No offense, 88, I'm just saying. 4. Calvin Johnson is a G. The guy is a beast and is going to be a pain in our royal a$$es for years to come. 5. The field was our MVP today- had Hanson not slipped on the XP, we would have went to OT. 6. However ugly it was or wasn't, this isn't the BCS. A win is a win. We won't have to play a better team in the playoffs because we ba…

Bears QB Kyle Orton spoke with the media on Wednesday, and made two things very clear — he feels fortunate his right ankle injury wasn’t more severe, and he’s not ruling himself out against the undefeated Titans on Sunday. Orton said he will not practice today as he continues rehab. Beyond that, he considers the injury day to day.

i have seen some really bad games over the years but i think this game ranks up there as maybe the worst performance ever. when there is absolutely no redemption in any aspect of the game it's truly mindboggling!! this is not disapointing it's tragic that any coaching staff could general a game like we witnessed. some ramblings: 1. defensive line... i don't ever in my lifetime remember a whole defensive line being pushed back 4 yds into the endzone in a slant block like i saw yesterday. it was like at practice shoving the sleds. every D lineman in the nfl should see this as a training film on what not to do if you expect a career in the nfl. if anyone wants…

This new guy #19 should be on the field soon if the Bears are smart. We need the dep speed on both sides at WR not just Hester This would open up the middle of the field for Olsen and Clark not to say that we can throw deep to either him or Hester. http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80a40f15

Everything that needed to happen for the Bears to stay alive happened this weekend. The Queens lost, the Bucs lost, the Cowgirls lost, AND the Eagles lost. If the team isn't fired up for this game after that, then they deserve to be sitting at home. Take care of the Puckers and the Texans and we are very much still alive both in the division AND in the Wildcard. Let's kick their tails and hold our breath for next week!

Merry Christmas to to all Be safe and Hope all is great with your families.

Everyone is pissed we blew it and all, and this team definitely needs a lot of work, but here's a look at some of the bright spots from the season... 1.) We won 9 games: Yes, we blew 3 games early in the season and we could have easily won 12 or 13, but we improved. We went from 7-9 to 9-7 when people thought we'd be even worse. 2.) Greg Olsen: He had 1 terrible game against Carolina, but he's established himself as a top TE and a great receiving threat. When you have a TE that NFL CB's have trouble defending, you have something good. 3.) Kyle Orton (pre-injury): He was pretty awesome in a few games for us, and before his injury, I really thought we might …

Well, this was my chance to get to see the bears live. I should have stayed home and read a book. Anyway, some comments, Offense - Honestly, I am surprised we were able to score at all. If you all think they look bad on TV, you really do not want to see them live. Houston does not exactly have an all-pro defense. Heck, they don't have a good one. They have a couple good players, but overall, are not a good D. Yet we made them look great. OL - Holy crap were they bad. Tait and St.Clair were getting blown up. Whether w/ speed of pure bull rush, Houston's DEs were getting penetration all day. Also noticed how much Houston moved Mario Williams around. Nev…

Rice aiming to make comeback, could Bears figure in?

Rams | Team has little wiggle room under cap Wed, 11 Feb 2009 05:24:57 -0800 Nick Wagoner, of stlouisrams.com, reports the St. Louis Rams have roughly $14 million in cap space. However, the team must budget a little less than half of that open space to the rookie class that must be signed following the NFL Draft, which leaves little wiggle room to re-shape the roster with the cap situation as it stands. Rams | Negotiations with Atogwe expected to intensify soon Wed, 11 Feb 2009 13:11:42 -0800 Nick Wagoner, of StLouisRams.com, reports the St. Louis Rams are believed to begin serious negotiations with impending free-agent FS Oshiomogho Atogwe later thi…

According to NFL Network's Adam Schefter, DT Albert Haynesworth will not re-sign with the Titans before testing the free agent market. Haynesworth obviously wasn't satisfied with the progress of contract talks, and this news significantly decreases the odds that he will return to the Titans. Perhaps the most disruptive defense player in the NFL the past two seasons, Haynesworth is sure to draw a monster contract on the open market. The Titans would have to match the highest offer now that their exclusive negotiating window is closed
