Barber and Louis are out, Chris Harris, Roy Williams are game time decisions, Meriweather has gotten most of the 1st team D reps this week in practice. Growl.

and the beat goes on...espn experts picks

I have received confirmation of my tickets to Wembley, along with many of the UK Bears Fan Club, and am psyched! Have ordered my Butkus/Sayers jerseys for me and the wifey...here we come!!!!

http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/chi/chicago-bears So according to this, we could see a lot of Meriweather playing against the Saints. Not sure about this just yet. As much as I like him on the team, having him still learning the D and then face off against Brees concerns me a little. And, for what it's worth, I am glad to see Barber is staying out this week. Don't think he will be as needed this week as he will be against GB. I feel that given NO's defense, Forte and Bell will do just fine.

Great leadership on the part of Peppers. These guys will be playing as a unified team when they return. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...ers-mother.html Source: Majority of Bears defense to attend funeral for Brian Urlacher’s mother NEIL HAYES September 17, 2011 11:52AM Reprints 9 Updated: September 17, 2011 11:56AM Virtually every member of the Bears defense will travel to Lovington, N.M., today to attend funeral services for Brian Urlacher’s mother, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. The Bears linebacker missed several days of practice this week after his mother, Lavoyda Lenard, died unexpectedly on …

Blacked out in Indy.

I never realized how many players are free agents next year. My guess is that we'll see some mid season extensions to go against this years cap. That will leave additional money to make splashes, if needed. I'm not a cap guy, but it makes sense to my limited knowledge. Thoughts?

Hey guys, last week I was able to stream the game online on WWW.VIPBOX.TV The quality wasn't that great and it would cut out on occasion but it's the only site I was able to find. All the good ones from last year seem to have been shut down. Hope this helps... GO BEARS!

Remember the big debate about if the Bears should have gone after him in FA? Well since he has yet to play this season and has a torn labrum,this is another dodged bullett.

Cutler needs to change the snap count.Me and the saints know exactly when the ball is being hiked. Every game it's the same snap count

1. If I was Jay Cutler, I would either demand that in the offseason they make a valiant effort to improve the OL or I would demand a trade. He's a human being; how much more of a beating can he take? Meanwhile, they invest $20m/season in him but do nothing to help. They have midgets out there at WR, Kellen Davis can't block, and their OL is trash. 2. Considering the circumstances, I think the defense did fine. The DL didn't get pressure but a lot of Brees' throws were quick ones. If they had more rest, they would've played better. 3. Chris Harris, as anyone today could see, is a key to this defense. The Bears other safeties are dogs***. Extend him and Forte asap…

If things dont change with the offensive approach we won't have a QB by Week 5

WTF is the front office thinking? We traded Orton, and 2 First round picks for Cutler. When this trade was made, it was blatantly obvious that Cutler would be our QB of the future. We have Martz and his complicated offense and the father of the Greatest Show on Turf. With that being said, why the hell wouldn't the front office give Cutler and this offense the tools needed to succeed in this league? Why would you continue for 3 years running with a below NFL average receiving core and a below average PeeWee football offensive line? And I say below PeeWee because you can tell an 8 year old to get in the way of the kid wearing a different colored jeresy and, after eati…

dislocated knee (patella i guess). Could be out a month.. Awesome

After giving the loss some time, I'm ready for a rant. I'm not doing this out of anger, at least right now not out of anger. Talk to me later in the season, and that may change! But, there are just some things that I need to rant about for a moment and get it out of my system. Much of which, many of us have already mentioned. A good lot of posters/viewers here will probably not agree with me or call me negative, but just be warned...I will be critical. But, I will also mention some positives... So, here I go mouthing off again... 1. Martz - WTF? Seriously, this guy is out of freaking control. He is a loose canon that has not only been given the keys to the …

http://www.theredzone.org/BlogDescription/...ry/Default.aspx Big loss. Good for us... Hope he is OK and isn't a career ending type

Last night on MNF they showed a stat on teams with the highest winning % since 2005. The Giants and the Bears were basically tied at the top of that list!! the Bears had one more loss than the Giants but the same amount of wins. What the Bears did not have is a damn Super bowl win! take that for what it is worth I guess but Lovie and this crew have been getting the Bears winning seasons.

This guy might be an offensive genius but it won't matter if he continues to call games like this game and the one last week. The 7 pts that Atlanta got was from Cutler dropping back, getting the ball tipped and intercepted. Okay, that happens...NOT TO GOOD OCs it doesn't. We never should have been throwing at that point. We needed to run out the clock. 10 running plays against N.O.? And Forte had a 30 yd run early? WTF is this bunghole thinking? Look, this team has enough strikes against it, we don't need some dumbass calling games who is just out of touch with reality. The WRs this team has chosen to go to battle with just plain stink. Oh yeah, Sanzenwhoeverthehell…
