Bearstalk

I think the Bears may make a splash this offseason by bringing in a big time WR. The Roy Williams experiment isn't quite working out as they had hoped. Jay tried early to build that relationship, but the lack of heart and hands limits Roy. There's a nice list below of some great targets for the Bears if they don't resign with their team. It's not that the Bears don't have decent WR's, they have a nice group of #2's or #3's. They need that big target Jay can throw it up to when the pressure's coming. Then they can concentrate on spending draft picks on OL and D. list courtesy of footballfutures.com Vincent Jackson (SD) Dwayne Bowe (KC) Marques Colston (…

I wanted to get everyone's opinion on a proposed trade in one of my leagues. I have been leaning both ways. T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Brandon Marshall for Torry Holt, Greg Olsen, and Santonio Holmes. BTW this is a PPR league.

Hey folks! I set this league up awhile ago and were still a few players short. We currently have 7 and need either 1 or 3 or 5 more players to make it a viable league. The live draft is set for this Sunday (8/28) at 2pm CST. I can still change that if anyone has a problem with the time although finding another time could be a challenge. It's free (no money) with pretty std scoring. 1QB 3WR 2 RB 1 W/R 1 TE 1 K 1 DEF Email at lloydt56@yahoo.com or PM me and I'll send you an invite. Thanks

Tavaris Jackson is absolutely terrible. Based on how great Minnys run game looks, he is gonna cost them big this year.

Without our passing game, and against a stout running defense, do we have a shot and ending the 8-0 streak. This is gonna be a grind it out running game. Which really sucks now that Orton is out. We pass all over the Titans and force them to have the great Kerry Collins beat us, really sucks Anyway, did anyone else's stomach turn when you saw grossman with a helmet on....

Rex? Come on. IMO, somebody should make one with Forte and Orton on it or something.

Anyone can say what they want but realistically can we fix this? First a win this week could help a lot. Second injured players coming back wouldnt hurt. ( no control over that)/ Thrid, Flus aint leaving and I now think he should, how about Waldron? We have 2 options in the room Kerry Joseph and Tom Brown. Tom Brown has called plays in Carolina and was assitant HC with the Rams before that. I would say promote Tomas Brown to OC. 4th simplifly it for CW , he is talented but does he have too much on his plate for a rookie? According to his play, that would be a yes. 5th Flus turn over DC play calling to Williams and concentrate on being a HC. …

Sucks for us and him, as he was on the franchise tag. Collins has be playing really solid, so hopefully others will step up.

Watching the play in the first half where Cutler threw a pick, did anyone else notice that it appeared that Williams gave up on the play after making his move on the Cheese Head DB as Cutler threw the ball? Seems to me that if Williams was our best option available to pick up then he should be doing anything and everything he is able to in order to re-establish himself as a top-level (I use that lightly) receiver. Right now it seems that he is a waste of money as he has struggled with a groin injury and plays like the pick shows that he is really not into what needs to be as a player in the NFL.

Looks like the Chiefs tagged him. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14877714...fety-eric-berry There goes another option. Figures the year the Bears have top 3 salary cap it would be a shit FA year.

My choices, in order: Bruce Arians (interim head coach in IND) Greg Roman (OC in SF) Dirk Koetter (OC in ATL) Vic Fangio (DC in SF) Kyle Shanahan (OC in WSH) Kevin Gilbridge (OC NYG) Dom Capers (DC in GB) David Shaw (head coach at Stanford) Mike Riley (head coach at Oregon State) Nick Saban (head coach at Alabama) OC choices: Tom Drevno (OL coach in SF) Promote Bates Carl Smith (QB coach in SEA) Sean Ryan (QB coach in NYG)

http://sports-ak.espn.go.com/nfl/index Mort, jaws , Kiper and tirico talking about Bears. I think Mort is talking out of A$$. Keep Berrian? for that money? He talks about it as though the only decisions on players are whether you have depth there. I think he just didn't do his homework. And as far as spending cash, look you we have coming up in contract talks-Harris, Hester and who we have signed in the last year- Vasher, Tillman and Briggs. Starters anywhere.

I just thought it was funny that majority of the voters believe that grossman will take an edge after Saturdays game. Orton completed 70% of his passes for 56 yards and rex completed 50% of his passes for 44 yards. The td was more of wolfes ability than rexs performance. Also how many of rexs plays came against the KC defensive starters. We will see who pulls ahead now that rex will be playing some defensive starters. I thought Kyle did a good job, and will not be surprised if Kyle does pretty good coming of the bench.

Absolutely undisputed worst player in NFL... my god...... he is fukkin useless

http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/...t-chicago-bears I think it's a wise move for him to think of a hometown discount if he wants to resign with the Bears. If the OL is to be fixed, weapons to be added, defense to be rebuilt, it sure won't help the franchise if he tries to break the bank.

After watching them on Sunday night the Redskins didn't put up much of a fight on offense or defense. RG III continues to improve his ability to run but he's not reading the field very well right now and he's definitely not taking care of the ball in the pocket. We need to take advantage of that and blitz to make up for our lack of pass rush. I know we'll give up some plays like this but we should be able to get some big plays too. Our defense is not in position to sit back and hope something good happens, we'll have to force it. Our offense on the other hand should be able to find consistent opportunities against the Redskins defense.
