Bearstalk

Heading to Chicago tomorrow for a great weekend. The cherry on top will be my first Bears game at Soldier Field.(Girlfriend got us tickets!) If anyone wants to meet for pre/post game libations. Let me know.

Per the Tribune and Twitter feed... After he underwent surgery on wrist similar to urlacher's dislocation

http://www.foxsportshouston.com/11/18/11/F...amp;feedID=3714 How wicked would a Peppers/Mario Williams d line look in Chicago? I forgot he was even a free agent. It doesn't look like the Texans are going to be able to franchise him, so the possibility of him leaving becomes significantly greater. Obviously the Bears have some of their own issues, as far as long term contracts are concerned, and I'm not sure what there money situation looks like for next season, but that would be quite a splash to sign this guy.

http://www.theredzone.org/BlogDescription/...ed/Default.aspx NFL just released its official fines from last week's game between the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears according to Anwar Richardson of Mlive.com. Here are the fines with explanations from the NFL: Here are those fines with the NFL's explanations: Chicago Bears D.J. Moore was fined $15,000 for unnecessary roughness; after the play, he struck an opponent late. Earl Bennett was fined $10,000 for a uniform violation; he wore dominantly orange shoes. This was his second offense. Detroit Lions Nick Fairley was fined $15,000 for roughing the passer; he unnecessarily drove the o…

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...medium=referral Looks like the team will be without Moore this weekend after spraining his ankle in practice. Graham may fill the Nickle role which, IMHO, he did pretty good in last week. Speaking of Moore. Read he was fined for the dust up with Stafford. Hope there is more to come, all things being equal. And looks like OT Jordan Black could be signed next week. Not bad.

Who should: Tillman, Urlacher, Peppers, Forte, Mannelly, and Briggs. Who will: Urlacher, Forte, Peppers, and Briggs. Ultimately, other teams' fans won't see the picks there for Tillman so they won't vote him in, and for some reason, Mannelly has never made a Pro Bowl. Thoughts?

Saw this and couldn't help but laugh. Some of the comments are spot on. It would be cool to see some of the other guys wear some orange shoes too. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d8242...medium=referral

chargers oline lookin even worse. Diehlman now gone and McNeil hasnt played well let alone left last weeks contest early....

(short and sweet this time) 1. In terms of the offense, there isn't much to say. It's hard to judge because they were pretty much handed a 34-6 lead. 2. The OL, though, had some rough patches. There were too many times in the 3rd quarter where Cutler had to run and improvise. 3. Hey Martz, where were the rollouts this week? 4. The defense was phenomenal. There isn't much more to say. Peppers, Jennings, and Tillman were great. 5. The Lions truly are a dirty team. If you combine all of the fines from this game for Detroit, it'll probably come out to $110k (Suh, Fairley, maybe Stafford). 6. San Diego will be a tough game, but if the secondary p…

It has been noted that the bears have been playing alot more man press the last couple of weeks which has led to a better performance. Was this true against the Lions as in another post i cant remember much of the game due to the high level of celebrations!!! Did the Bears use the man press against the Packers earlier this year? Watching the Packers last night their timing on O is off the charts, wouldnt the man press help distrupt their timing if possible?

Went to the game yesterday and had one tooooo many and cant really remember that much of the game!! hahaha...I forgot to tivo the game and was wonering if anyone knows if they replay the game ever? I would really like to see it again!!

So does Williams replaces Williams? Carimi is not ready, so we are back to thinnner at O. Does this mean Omyale is back in the mix? Crap!

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/904458-...ill-canton-call I think it's a definite YES!!! The man is amazing. I know his WR skills are lacking, but no one has been better in the return game.

1. Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina ---This is a typical Lovie pick. He's a guy who could play some DT as well as DE; he's flying up draft boards. With Idonije being a FA at year's end, Peppers aging, and Wooton being useless, this pick makes sense. It also makes sense for another reason: right now, the Bears are 23rd overall in defense. 2. Marvin McNutt, WR, Iowa ---McNutt is tearing up the Big-10. He's the best receiver in the conference and is 6'4" and 215 pounds. He's a definite playmaker and could fill in Roy Williams' spot when he leaves after the season (hopefully). 3. Nate Potter, OT, Boise State ---If he's here this late, this is a steal. He's on…

Is he the best cornerback to ever play for the Bears? In his 10th season, he has 28 interceptions, 25 forced fumbles, and 5 touchdowns. Thoughts? Peace

Maybe I didn't pay much attention to it before because I never saw him play, but I just took a look at his numbers and was shaking my head as to how they equate him into Hall of Fame status. Somebody help me out here. He plays 7 seasons, only rushes for over 1000 yards twice, he wasn't that effective in the passing game, and only had 7 150+ yard games in his career. Matt Forte has already doubled that. I know they only played 14 games during that era and he did some great things on special teams but to me, Sayers numbers are not even close to Hall of Fame worthy. Is Forte going to eclipse Sayers as the 2nd best Bears running back before his career is over? That might actu…

I love to see guys retaliate on BullSHITE... Screw off Lions....

Well this sucks.. Looks like he's going to be out a while if he's already having surgery now. Didn't see the play he injured it on but now with Carimi out for atleast the next couple weeks, it looks like its Edwin Williams or bust..
