Bearstalk

Does anyone have a ticket connection? I'm looking for 2 tickets to the Niners Bears game. I don't want to pay an arm and a leg and have hoped to get lucky on the individual game sale for San Fran but being the first game in the new stadium, obviously high demand. Am crossing my fingers someone somehow has a Niner connection (or a real good Bear connection) to get tickets at or near face.

This is going to be a fun and exciting season! I'm fired up for football and its only July!!!

Well....this is the question that lurks in all of our minds... We have all suffered through defeats and losses...waiting since 1985/1986 for a Super Bowl..... So...what say you, learned friends, about how we will do this year? One can never predict injury....but. I say, if we stay injury free, or relatively, we will definitely be NFC Champs. And...if Cutler steps up and shows his best, we might just be able to hit the big one!

Never saw him make a mistake...

Anyone remember Thomas Sanders? I am trying to find clips for him...can anyone help?

Now at first most say this is only Fantasy Football, but on the other hand, there is some correlation between stats and points. The Bears offense positions finished no worse than #12 at TE, and Defense comes in at a respectable #14. By position: Cutler - 11th Forte - 5th Marshall - 5th Jeffery - 7th Bennett - 12th Gould - 10th Bears Def - 14th Forte, Marshall, and Jeffery all made the Top 20 overall as well. If Forte, Marshall, and Jeffery finish in the top 10 of their positions, Cutler is easily a top 10 QB. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/2014-fantasy-...-204748821.html

This is probably the best way to "predict" the records (by picking every game for every team) vs throwing up an arbitrary win number. To me the Cowboys, Lions, Bucs, and Chiefs seem a little low, and the Packers and Colts seem a little high. I see the Bears as a pretty accurate prediction, but I think we have a shot at the Division. NFC East Eagles 11-5 (4) Redskins 7-9 Giants 6-10 Cowboys 3-13 NFC North Packers 12-4 (2) *Bears 11-5 (5) Lions 4-12 Vikings 3-13 NFC South Saints 11-5 (3): Falcons 10-6 Panthers 7-9 Buccaneers 3-13 NFC West Seahawks 12-4 (1) *49ers 11-5 (6) Cardinals 10-6 Rams 10-6 AFC East Patriot…

Last year we were historically bad on defense for numerous reasons. Obviously injuries, scheme, new coaches, loss of Urlacher, all took their toll. However, just looking at a few guys who we let go this off season tells you how bad we actualy were. 1. James Anderson, started 16 games and was our leading tackler? He also had 4 sacks. However, he looked as lost as Bostic and Greene half the time and didn't have their speed to recover. He seemed out of position a lot. He is now a Nickel LB in NE. To me, he was a big reason why we couldn't stop the run. 2. Major Wright, started 15 games. He has been hot and cold his entire career, but last year he was ho…

More good news. OTAs and no hitting but still to have a bigger, stronger, and apparently quicker Wilson out on the field with Marshall and Jeffrey could turn into a great combination for us. http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/...r-chicago-bears

https://twitter.com/ESPNChiBears Worth a shot I'd say. Would be awesome if he returns to form. At the very least he's probably good to have around Brock.

Need to bring in new blood. The comment by Robbie struck me the wrong way....that's a month too early to start your vacation, if you have higher goals. Obviously he's ok with not playing past New Years. Damn I'm pissed http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post...s-for-final-day

I liked Wilson as a Cardinal. Bowen just mentioned on the score his recent injury history with the patriots. Good low risk high reward singing.

I've been watching this series. Most are nice to see how they transition the rookies to the team but there's not a lot of substance. However, part 4 has some good video of Pascaloni in the class room. http://www.chicagobears.com/multimedia/vid...2d-7fee93bbc874

With Dallas losing Sean Lee for the season I'm wondering if anyone would consider trading Briggs to Dallas? There are no rumors so this is purely my fantasy league. We are dealing with Jerry Jones who is known for his desperation moves and Briggs is a natural fit into Dallas' defense. Right now there is no way I'd do it solely because I think we can compete at a high level in the playoffs and there is too much risk in all the young players. However, if SMC and Bostic are looking good (I'll assume DJ Williams is "good") and the coaches think guys like Greene and Christian Jones will be decent backups then I'm open to it. We can't know that now, or rather the coa…

I think we all can look at the team and see many areas with loads of optimism. So what is our weakness? I think if Briggs isnt up to par, we could have issues at LB. The improved front will help a lot, and that will make the back end better, but the LBers will be most responsible for stopping the run. A lot of question marks at that position, so hope it turns out good.

Jeff Dickerson ‏@ESPNChiBears 1h #Bears have released DL Izzy Idonije, QB Jerrod Johnson, TE Fendi Onobun & S Sean Cattouse. Team signs DE Jamil Merrell & LB Conor O'Neill. The Fendi pipe dream has ended. Izzy is semi surpising. Johnson was #5 on the depth chart so no surpise there. Didn't even know Cattouse was on the roster. The 2 guys they signed don't look that intriguiing.
