Bostic had another nice banger on special teams today. Can't wait to see this kid at middle linebacker to give our D a youth and energy infusion!

Against 2012 playoff teams! Internet pu$$ies please stop bitchin...

Let's have an official game thread this week

Sounds about right. I don't think he'd have gotten fined at all if it weren't for his opening his mouth earlier in the week talking about it before he did it. I swear, some of this dipshits need to grow a brain. Regardless, it's always great to see the Packers, low lifes that they are, fined for being stupid.

I apologize in advance if this topic has been thoroughly dissected, but has anyone read Trestman's book? Les Carpenter's Yahoo article has me wanting to get some more insight into our new chief.

Game plans actually based on what opponents weaknesses and strengths are. I also like the way he talks about adversity, how it always happens in games you just don't know when it will be. http://www.chicagobears.com/multimedia/vid...49-f903772f5d2b

I haven't been able to post much since the first game but one of the most obvious differences I noticed with our D against the Bengals was the lack of gang tackling. I give Lovie credit because we always had 11 guys running toward the ball and it paid off routinely. Too often against the Bengals we would have one or two players go for a tackle but additional support was either late getting there or never arrived. I'm glad Tucker and the players are addressing this in practice this week as we need this to stop AP this weekend. http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/...rn-fundamentals

My Dad and I are talking about going to the Monday Night game Dec 9th we live near South Bend, IN normally we'd take the train but being a night game there wouldn't be any trains coming back here after. What are the best places to park, good places to eat (good deep dish), things to do in around the stadium, areas to avoid. I've heard really good things about Giordano's. If we go we'll both probably be taking Monday and Tues off work. Gates open at 4:30 I believe would like to get a good full game day experience. Neither of us are that familiar with Chicago.

I was just a little curious on Tucker as a coach, so I looked up some stats to have a closer peek. I looked at only NFL as he was with Ohio State before 2005. http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?arc...e&Submit=Go 2005-2007 CLE DBacks coach 2008 - CLE D COORD 2009-2011 - JAX D COORD 2012 - JAX D COORD/ASST HC 2005 - CLE was 4th in passing D 2006 - CLE was 18th in passing D 2007 - CLE was 9th in passing D 2008 - CLE was 7th in overall D Average is in the top 10 for the stint in CLE. Take out 2006, and it's even better at 7. Removing the hi & low scores, it's about 8th. 2009 - JAX was 10th in overall D 2010 - JAX was…

Take a look at THIS and tell me if anything jumps out at you. I know, I know, I shouldn't pay attention to this stuff. But when they just saw the two teams face each other and they're ranking 10 & 11, you'd think they'd give the nod to the team that WON THE GAWD DAMN GAME. I hate sports writers.

Per the Tribune; Les Frazier is asking Webb questions about Trestman's offense/scheme While this is not unusual at all, I can only envision the one and only response Les will receive: DUH, Gee Tennessee....... Disclaimer-old timers cartoon reference at play here.

I personally hate this guy. I think he is the biggest douche to play the game. The dive at the knees is and always will be uncalled for. I played D line, I hate O lineman. I mean I hate them to this day. I hated the O lineman that would block after the whistle or come diving on the pile. I never saw a place in the game for that crap. What SUH did was complete bullshit and I think he should have been given at least a two game suspension. How many does this guy have to do something stupid??? What are your thoughts? What if he pulls this crap against the Bears and hurts someone? Ill freak

20+ plays already and it's not even halfway through the first quarter. I am fascinated by this at the NFL level.

These are outstanding http://galleries.apps.chicagotribune.com/c...ngals-pictures/ I really like the one where Long is making Burfict soil himself.

It was interesting to hear his post game comments. What I noticed mostly was he seems to have very little ego. He basically said "We made better play calls in the second half on O but even then it was up to Cutler to use his legs twice to get the job done." It's refreshing to hear something like that. I recall previous regimes falling over themselves to claim credit for plays that went well. In the long run it'll be interesting to see how well his personality fits into this world of huge dollars and huge egos called the NFL. His whole "I just asked them to be good teammates" bit seemed a little naive. But with that said, hell, sometimes simple truths are the be…

A little bit of nostalgia.
