I'm curious to get your opinions on how I drafted. 10 team 8 starter (1Q, 1RB. 3 WR/TE, 1 RB/WR/TE, 1 K, 1DST)/6 bench Auction draft. Keeper, keep 3. Q Andrew Luck (K) Q Eli Manning R Steven Jackson R David Wilson R Giovani Bernard W Brandon Marshall (K) W Julio Jones (K) W AJ Green W Wes Welker W Jordy Nelson K Stephen Gostkowski K Robbie Gould D CIN D STL

Well sorry ass Webb was not unemployed long.....the VIKINGS have signed him off waivers1

I'd assumed all along Wootton was the man but according to this article it hasn't been decided yet.

With Sunday approaching quickly, I'm curious as to type of offense and defense we will see heading into Game 1 against the Bengals. What I am expecting is to see the Bears come out in a wide variety of offensive formations to keep the defense on their heels. I expect to see a good chunk (maybe more-so later in the year) of the pistol, not in terms of the QB run, but in terms of play action passing. Martellus Bennett should be a huge factor if they choose to go that route, because the middle of the field will be wide open. I think we know by now that Matt Forte will become the focal point of the offense. I expect him to see a lot of touches as a runner and as a pass c…

The first game of the season of course it's some of the same. Two turn overs and a lot of bend but don't break D. Things don't always change that much from one season to the next, even with all new coaches. But one thing that did change. Not one sack against one of the best front 7's. Yea, not one sack. And with 80 percent of the O. line changed from last year. And two GD rookies on the right side. That is not the same old same old by anyones stretch! Not just because of the Oline. But the fact that they did not get one sack, first game of the season, five out of six O.L. changed, with two rookies as starters. That alone should be enough to raise hell!

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.

First, Mondays game was awesome. Seeing our offense do what they did was crazy. Reminded me of the first 5 weeks of 2005 when Great Rex was showing up. Couple of thoughts tho 1. I expected the Offense to hit this type of stride come week 8 or 9. New Coach, system, oline. It takes time for a offense to gel. Do you think if Cutler had not got hurt would his numbers be even better then McCown? 2. Trying not to drink the kool aid too much, they did look great against The Cowboys, the Cowboys D is horrible. Everyone is craving them up. 3. Had McCown not been lucky this game could have been very different. Had two INT's dropped, taking two scores away and a 3r…

Holy shit! Win out and the Bears are in.

I was at both, Ive never seen that stadium so loud at one second and the next sec complete silence. Im leaning towards 2010 but man was last night a kick in the balls. Last post about last year. Excited to see what happens moving forward.

MccClellin to LB? Bears head coach Marc Trestman added: "We'll look hard at Shea doing other things besides being lined up at defensive end. If that means moving him to a linebacker position as we move forward, that will be under consideration as well. But there's no doubt as Phil and I watched the tape this week that he's capable of more, and we'll work toward that as we move forward. He's got it in him. It's our job as coaches, and it starts with me, to get him in a position to be more successful, and we feel confident we can get that done."

http://thesidelineview.com/columns/nfl/for...2013-nfl-season Interesting article written by Angelo on a site that I did not know of. He grouped him with Ryan, Stafford, and Romo, which seems pretty hard to argue with. I just wouldn't put Cutler behind Kaepernick or Smith. He has Cam Newton at the same level as Brees? ESPN adds a little to it here: http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/...nsistent-clutch This is what Angelo says about Cutler: I don't know how accurate this is because saying he can only read half the field or is not comfortable reading defenses seems a little extreme for someone who is experienced as Cutler. I just think …

Per the Bears' website, Earl Bennett is changing his number from 85 to 80. Apparently he wanted to go back to his college number (10) but the NFL won't let you switch from an 80-89 number to a 10-19 number. Seems like a dumb rule to me. However, he's now got 80, Berrian's old number. The superstitious part of me thinks that could be a good thing. The article also lists the new rookies' numbers, and there are a couple of other familiar ones: Earl Bennett: 80 (Bernard Berrian) Al Afalava: 46 (Chris Harris, Doug Plank) Mike Rivera: 59 (Rosevelt Colvin, Ron Rivera) Derek Kinder: 83 (Willie Gault) D.J. Moore: 30 (Mike Brown) ...then again, Rashied Da…

Now that we have the next coming of Sid luckman in Jay Cutler who is going to make the roster out of our WR and be the man? Who will step up and who do you think we will keep? We have 10 WR on the roster. Devin Aromashoud 6'2 201 ?????? Earl Bennett 6'0 203 John Broussard 6'1 176 cut Rashied Davis 5'9 187 ????? Devin Hester 5'11 190 Juaqin Iglesias 6'0 210 Derek Kinder 6'1 210 Johnny Knox 5'11 185 Eric Peterman 6'1 200 PS Brandon Rideau 6'3 198 ??????

Good read...if already posted, so sorry. http://www.profootballweekly.com/2009/06/3...er-but-not-best Posted June 30, 2009 @ 9:51 a.m. By Dan Arkush In what up to now has been a major summer of discontent — with both the Cubs and White Sox struggling mightily just to get to .500 — July 31 can’t come soon enough for many Chicago-area sports fans. That’s the date when both rookies and veterans are scheduled to report to the Bears’ training camp in Bourbonnais, Ill., which, if this offseason’s minicamps and OTAs are any indication, figures to be perhaps the most well-attended camp ever. A major Bears buzz has been hovering over the Windy City since th…

Bears | Not worried about sophomore slump for Forte Comment (0) Tue, 07 Jul 2009 20:52:15 -0700 Larry Mayer, of ChicagoBears.com, reports Chicago Bears RBs coach Tim Spencer said he would like to see second-year RB Matt Forte improve on his yards per carry and yards per catch. Spencer believes both will improve for Forte this season. Spencer said he is not concerned about a sophomore slump. "He's going to do well," Spencer added. "We have some new players and we've improved on our offensive line. I see no reason why Matt shouldn't improve this season." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bears | La…
