He had 3 Red Zone TD's tonight and had 30 carries. 30 carries is a career high (his career best was 27 and he only had more than 25 twice). The interesting note is that he only averaged 3.3 yards per carry and that was against some very soft front 7's due to NY's passing game (3-4 WR sets). So for the season he is now averaging 3.76 yards per carry and is on pace for 416 carries, which would be 100 more than his career high (as a rookie) and only 2nd time he broke 300. I would be amazed if he made it to that mark either due to low YPC or due to wear and tear but it will be interesting to see. Watching the game tonight, Forte had several large gains with g…

Matt Forte will be the first rookie running back to start a season opener for the Bears since Walter Payton in 1975. Informed that Payton was held to zero yards on 8 carries in his debut, Forte said, "Hopefully I'll do better than that." Yes hopefully you will for our sake.

The Jets: Chris Emma ‏@CEmma670 2m2 minutes ago Matt Forte to sign with the Jets, per @AdamSchefter. Bear fans rejoice!

http://www.chicitysports.com/2011/02/02/ma...chicago-agrees/ I agree 100% with him. Check out the list of players who make more then him. Todd Collins, Brian Iwuh....UGH

This dude would fit right in kicking in Chicago in the winter. I don't think we can wait to draft him in the 7th or pick him up as a UDFA. We do not have a 6th rounder so is he a worthy 5th round pick (#162)?

This is a guy that a lot of people had pegged at points in his career as a guy with star potential. He never truly emerged into that and he had some off the field problems this past season, but as a whole he's the opposite of any WR's we have. The guy is a beast of a target with good hands and he seems to be a very good red zone target. He clearly is a step down from Holt, but again would be a significant upgrade over anyone the Bears had at the WR position last season. He's also still young enough that he could in fact have a few 900 yard plus seasons in him.

will not be suspended: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4207106 He is a freak being as tall and how fast he is.

http://espn.go.com/chicago/columns/blog?po...;name=dickerson There's been no evidence -- outside of Plaxico Burress -- of the Bears looking for any additional help at wide receiver. However, the Bears may have quietly done some homework on free agent Matt Jones. The talented but troubled Jones, a first-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2005 -- admitted Wednesday his representatives have engaged in some dialogue with Chicago. "My agent has talked to the Jets, Titans, Bears and Dallas," Jones told 103.7 The Buzz in Little Rock, Ark. "Things are looking good. Something probably will happen sooner rather than later. We just want it to be a good fit and …

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3551359 Chris Mortensen article: The Arizona Cardinals are expected to name Kurt Warner as the team's starting quarterback, a team source said Sunday. BUT BUT BUT... I THOUGHT FIRST ROUND PICKS WERE A SCIENCE AND JERRY WAS JUST A DOOFUS!!! OMGZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!

Was anyone else watching NFL network last night. I think the show was Around the League. They were interviewing Matt Millen about what he thought the Bears problem was. My wife and I were lying in bed watching this and I couldn't help myself but laugh. I was also wondering if he were watching different games than we were. He was saying that the Defense has been amazing and that the problem has been the offense. I hope he was joking. Did he not just see the last game were the Defense couldn't even do anything. They couldn't get pressure on the QB. They couldn't tackle. We couldn't get turnovers. They allowed the Bengals to score on there 1st 5 possessions. Of c…

What do you think? I would be ok with this draft. 43. BEARS (LAV)—S Kyle Dugger, Lenoir-Rhyne 50. BEARS—TE Cole Kmet, Notre Dame 163. BEARS—IOL Darryl Williams, Miss. State 196. BEARS—OT Jon Runyan, Michigan 200. BEARS (PHI)—RB DeeJay Dallas, Miami 226. BEARS (LAV)—CB Harrison Hand, Temple 233. BEARS—CB Grayland Arnold, Baylor https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2884272-2020-nfl-mock-draft-matt-millers-post-free-agency-predictions#slide38

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2757373...owl-predictions I am all in on this draft. 1 Q. Nelson/LG stud stud stud 2 C. Kirk/WR ( 4.4 speed) our deep threat 4a H Mata'afa/ Edge (in this draft T. Edmunds and l. Carter are still available) I dont see that happening. HM had 22.5 TFL and 10.5 Ss at 6'2" 252 could fill the McPhee role 4b M Ateman/WR ( our Jeffery's type) 5 B J Hill/5t huge and active 6 J Noteboom/OT ( keep Massie for one year and groom him to take his place) 7 Deatrick Nichols/CB speed guy with 11 Ints in 3 years.

Breaking news on the score. Adam jahns is reporting that Nagy will be the next head coach for our beloved

I think they are still confused because his offense made their defense look good. https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-bears/lions-fans-are-now-talking-themselves-into-hiring-matt-nagy/

The only thing I know for sure is it doesn't make the Lions look good about not doing their homework on him. Doesn't mean they shouldn't have hired him, but it appears they did not know from what I've read.

In terms of setting the market for draft picks...well, this adds one more reason why the Bears don't want the #3 pick next year. It might well cost more than the #1 pick.

Matt Suhey passed away today. He was 68 years old. RIP He was one of my favorites. Sad to hear he is no longer with us.

He's retiring. Thanks for the solid play during a %^&8 up time. While you were not Sayers or Sweetness or Anderson, you were the linchpin of a crapy O. Good luck in your life now and thanks for the hi-lights.

#Bears agree to terms on 1 yr deal with TE Matthew Mulligan. He's primarily a blocking tight end and has ample experience. Per Brad Biggs Emery is still filling the cupboard.
