Staying after practice and working alongside long-shot rookies is part of Rex Grossman's resurrection plan

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.

The ones in bold i say we try to keep and fill the other spots by draft and FA and with players already on the roster. 32 Bell, Kahlil RB 5-11 212 26 4 UCLA 38 Bowman, Zack CB 6-1 193 28 5 Nebraska 2 Campbell, Jason QB 6-5 230 31 8 Auburn 93 Collins, Nate DT 6-2 296 25 3 Virginia 24 Hayden, Kelvin CB 6-0 195 29 8 Illinois 58 Hayes, Geno LB 6-1 226 25 5 Florida State 71 Idonije, Israel DL 6-6 275 32 9 Manitoba (Canada) 60 Louis, Lance G 6-3 320 27 4 San Diego State 10 Mare, Olindo K 5-11 185 39 16 Syracuse 12 McCown, Josh QB 6-4 215 33 10 Sam Houston State 30 Moore, D.J. CB 5-9 180 25 4 Vanderbilt 43 Nolan, Troy S 6-2 202 26 4 …

I was looking at our roster and found that we have not four but six TE'S in the stable. I know that some will not be around for long ang gusy are brought in to see it the fit our system and for camp purposes but look at the list below. So are we posied to kept 3 or four? 1. Richard Angulo 6'8 260 2. Kevin Brock 6'5 255 3. Desmond Clark 6'3 249 4. Kellen Davis 6'7 262 5. B Manumaleuna 6'2 295 6. Greg Olsen 6'5 255

ASHKUM brought this..... ....up yesterday, and I believe the response deserves it's own thread... After crunching numbers, Clayton is basically right. Once you add in the 4.8M needed for the draft, the Bears have 3.5M left. There's so much they can do as far as cuts and restructuring go though. Cutting Peppers ups that number to ~13.3 Cutting Bennett ups it to ~15.7 Cutting Bush ups it to 17.5 Cutting Podlesh ups it to 18.5 Then I think they'll extend BMarsh and they'll save at least 3M there bringing the total to ~21.5 If things play out they wa I said, 21.5 for free agents(remember I took draft money out), shoul…

Looking at what we have done so far and what other teams added and lost how many games do you see us winning this year. The bold are home games. Chicago Bears vs.Green Bay Packers Chicago Bears vs.Detroit Lions Chicago Bears vs.Minnesota Vikings Chicago Bears vs.San Francisco 49ers Chicago Bears vs.Seattle Seahawks Chicago Bears vs.Houston Texans Chicago Bears vs.Indianapolis Colts Chicago Bears vs.Carolina Panthers Green Bay Packers vs.Chicago Bears Detroit Lions vs.Chicago Bears Minnesota Vikings vs.Chicago Bears Arizona Cardinals vs.Chicago Bears St Louis Rams vs.Chicago Bears Jacksonville Jaguars vs.Chicago Bears Tenness…

Below is a list of the teams we play and what they have done in the draaft so far. By looking at their team and these new players who do you think will give us the most proplems this year? I think the Packers, 49ers, Rams and the Cowboys might be the ones that give us a run for our money. Arizona Cardinals No. 13: Notre Dame receiver Michael Floyd. No. 80: Oklahoma cornerback Jamell Fleming. Picks left (5): 112, 151, 177, 185, 221. Carolina Panthers No. 9: Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly. No. 40: Midwestern State guard Amini Silatolu. Picks left (5): 104, 143, 180, 207, 216. Dallas Cowboys No. 6: LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne. No…

At TE we signed Fendi Onobun running a 4.4-4.5 40 at 6'5 252 At WR Terrence Toliver at 6'5 208 At FS Tom Nelson 5'11 running a 4.38 40 dash special teamer/FS

Pace has taken a lot of heat by his overall draft: Trubisky, I dont think many will complain about actually taking MT its the trading up the one spot that deserves criticism Shaneen has yet to produce but being a 2nd round pick , you expect more this spot in the draft. Cohen and Jackson were taken in the fourth being we gave away our 3 rd pick. Great choices Mogan got drafted in the 5th with the jury still out on but looks like a potential future starter. Re doing the draft with out the trade #1 Still take MT but with the third pick. ( He looks like a potential franchise QB that we had to address in this draft) We could have later taken Watson but t…

Many people at the time wanted us to trade up and snatch Flacco. Now, doing that, we probably would have been stuck giving up our 2nd round pick (Forte). Flacco looks good and so does Forte, and both look like they could be franchise players at their respective positions- looking back on it, would you rather have Forte, or would you rather we traded up and took Flacco?

This started out as a reply to another post but I thought it'd be better as a topic of it's own. An earlier post was right that there's no shortage of negativity from fans about the Bears' problem positions. I can undertand why of course, but let's go on record with where we think the solutions were. I don't personally remember any real obvious QB or OL solutions this offseason, but I don't follow other teams' players much anyway so that doesn't mean much. The offseason is pretty much over so if a fan was going to assess what moves he/she thinks the Bears should have made this offseason, now is a better time than earlier in the year when some of those moves weren't…

I would bring in Cain. I thought he did fine last year when Mannelly went out. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0831-story.html Peace

I'm looking for the video of Robbie Gould's horrible miss in 2005 vs. the Niners. Recall that it was the windiest game in NFL history, and he hit one that seemed to be 20-30 yards wide right. That was also the game Vasher returned the missed FG for 108yds. I need to show it to a coworker who is a Packer fan who swears that a game couldn't get windier than last Sunday.

With Conte and Hardin going down in the Redskins game the Bears signed S Mark LeGree (49'ers) to a one-year deal and waived LB Ronnie Thornton

I'm flying to Chicago from Denver for a work conference and looking for a couple tickets for Thursday's night game? Thanks, ParkerBear aka Joel

With all the talk of the money wasted by Pace and his so so selections in the draft and free agency we could be in a good situation in the offseason. It looks like the contracts are Bears friendly and prove it and you get paid or we move on without it majorly affecting our cap. The contracts below are from over the cap and the only players I would definitely want to keep are Trevathan with a possibility of Sitton, Demps and Young. Then if you consider the injuries to starters and hope this will improve especially if they can work out why it’s happening. I have always wondered if the state of the field at Soldier Field attributes to the soft tissue injuries. If yo…

In the last couple seasons Hester has focused on weight lifting to get stronger, and IMO it showed on the field as he lost some of his quickness and burst. This offseason he's changing things up a bit and I hope we see that lightning burst that made him so dangerous. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://blogs.suntimes.com/bears/2010/07/he..._ex-rams_g.html "The thing I really did this summer is I cut back on weight training and focused more on conditioning to really get myself an overtime workout," Hester said. "I've got to be able to play six quarters a game. I want to be able to go …

Most of the Bears’ 2012 schedule is pretty well set now that they and other third-place teams are set. From the NFC West the Bears have Seattle and St. Louis coming to Soldier Field, plus Carolina from the NFC South and Houston and Indianapolis from the AFC South. They will travel to play Arizona, San Francisco, Jacksonville and Tennessee. And the Bears would go to Dallas. Along with playing the Packer, Lions and Vikings twice. I will go on record now saying that with a few players in FA and the draft .....the Bears are looking at least an 11-5 season
