Its easy to beat a dead horse, but after watching the Division Championship games, I wanted to draw this comparison Halfway thru the NFC CHampionship game, this popped into my head: The value of a recieving TE today Compiled through 8 quarters of Football yesterday, the TEs produced: Vernon Davis: 6-106-1TD Tony Gonzales: 8-78-1TD Aaron Hernandez: 9-83 Dennis Pitta: 7-55-1TD ------------------------------------ 30 Receptions - 322 Yards - 3TDs 2012---- Kellen Davis: 19-229-2TDs Matt Spaeth: 6-28-1TD 25 Receptions - 257 Yards - 3TDs and neither one of them can block worth shit.... If this isnt a need, I dont know what is.... 4th o…

I found it interesting that most of our bubble guys on Offense helped themselves tonight. Ridieu - TD Gaines - TD AP - Leads team in rushing for 2nd consecutive week and KJ goes off on a cart. Knox - Who I previously and wrongly prognasticated, as the yearly Redshirt, made big plays. What I failed to see was Rashied Davis. Has he locked up the 3rd spot by not playing? Anyone think we are going to see any surprises on Defense.

For those potentially interested in him as a FA... Furrey is out there. They released a few other guys, but no other name seemed of interest or was recognizable to me. There was mention of a safety, but I couldn't remember the name.

Your thoughts on this

Here is a article by Greg Gabriel, taking about the future and the players we have in place.I agree with his assessment of talent. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/12/19/gab...s-from-success/

http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/56849...-end-up/page/51 According to this article it attempts to predict where the top 50 FAs will go next season, provided there isn't a lockout. For the Bears??? Michael Bush - RB (Raiders): Apparently Forte and Taylor are "Faulkish" running backs so Chicago could benefit from a bruiser back like Bush Matt Light OL(Patriots): Tackle that is reaching his shelf-life and the Bears are needing a good and solid tackle. And NE doesn't like old guys. Braylon Edwards - WR (Jets): sounds like Santonio could be taking #1 and Braylon might cost too much for NY to maintain. Besides, this could be the big WR Jay needs.

I saw a few here talking about Lofa Tatupu and how they shoud look at going younger. Reading around about this kid is that the opinion is he would make for a better SLB than a Safety. Does this sound familiar? As perhaps someone we know from New Mexico? http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/nineri...?entry_id=94709

QB- Trubisky (hes progressing on schedule and should have a breakout season 3900 yards, 32 TDs, 13 interceptions, 411 rushing, 5 TDs) Daniel (hopefully no more than 1 or 2 games) RBs- Howard(useful productive, has a role),Cohen (a star rotation RB), Mizzell ( I don't get it) Nall( future rotational) WRs- Robinson(a #1 that will star as offense progresses), Gabriel ( solid speedy #3), Miller ( future star), Wims (rotational with upside). TE- Burton (as offense progresses with have bigger role), Shaheen (jury is still out), Braunneker and Brown will be back as backups OL- Leno( unheralded NFL starter), Daniels ( future pro bowler), Whitehair (so…

Just for fun... Looking at our roster now, what do you see as needs to improve our roster? Offense to obtain: the heir to Forte and groom a speed reciever and heir to Hester on returns a bookend TE to go along with Bennett a C Defense to obtain: a corner or two DL Retain/extend: Cutler, Melton, Tillman, Wooten, Jennings, Marshall etc... Not sure if we can keep Peppers

I know this may be looking too far ahead, but: I'd love to get back on the road to Detroit and Atlanta being 3-1, but 2-2 wouldn't hurt. To be 2-1 going into that SNF game vs the Eagles would be great, and the crowd will be pumped up. Philadelphia is good, and it'll be tough. If we can be 2-2 after these next 2 games, we could be 4-2 after the next 2 because Detroit is bad and so is Atlanta. So, 4-2, coming home vs a pretty good team in Minnesota, maybe 4-3. Then, we get Detroit at home (5-3), then Tennessee at home, and that might be a 7-3 final score, but I think we'll pull it, especially if Vince Young is at the helm (6-3). We have a semi-e…

Since our defense sucks, and the offense is close to being very very good, how about it we sold out on defense and continued building the offense first. Grab a star TE in the first round and a OC in the second and then draft defensive players the rest of the draft? Pick up free agents to fill defensive spots, and bring back some of our own players? This is out of left field thinking but if we get two TE options and improve our oline and let the the defense suck with mild improvement. what do you think.

Scratch one possible FA pickup.

Possible later round QB

Per the Tribune and Twitter feed... After he underwent surgery on wrist similar to urlacher's dislocation

http://www.theredzone.org/BlogDescription/...on/Default.aspx Guess it isnt that bad

Is the bears 1st round draft pick everyone wanted in this years draft. Carimi-Garza-Spencer-Louis-Williams
