Bearstalk

Why is it when Cutler sucks, so much blame goes on the line. but when Forte has 100- 200 yards the line really gets no credit. Forte has had success with this line the last 3 years, is our line really that bad? Or,or, or could cutler be way overrated by many bear fans. The weakest or one of the supposably weakest lines in the nfl has a running back with more than 200 yards rushing in the 4th game is the problem?????????????.

first quarter report card on the bears by dan durkin... http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2011/10/05/dur...er-report-card/ i sure can't argue with much of it although i would have liked to see a report card on our coaching staff and front office. but then i guess there is just so much misery you can put in one story.

I read this on cnnsi and thought it interesting: I'm wondering why, on goal-line plays, coaches don't occasionally defend big receivers like Johnson with a big receiver from their own team? Doesn't somebody like Dez Bryant have a better chance of beating Johnson on a "jump ball" pass?'' Roy Williams cant do jack on O....maybe they could use him on D. Because the Lions will have goal line attempts Monday night for sure.

The way the rules favor QB's, and recievers, for more points, might be good for us if we committe ourselves to the run game. Since most defenses are preparing for this pass happy league in games and practice, we might have an advantage if we can keep running the ball like last week. Most teams might be more prepared for the pass than the run. So lets run at least 30 times against Detroit. Also on defense for us, I am liking the way we play in the red zone the last few years. It seems to me that many of the points scored on us come from outside of the red zone, once their O is in our red zone we see things better. I've said this before "sometimes I like it better when our…

Per the trib.. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,3260085.story He'd be a welcome addition if his knee is sound.

I'm sure there have been some, but who have we lost because we couldn't afford to re-sign them, or wouldn't shell out to do so? Everyone was up in arms about Briggs a few years ago. The Bears tried to sign him early, but he wouldn't do it. They tried again just before FA. Made a sound offer, but he turned it down. He felt he was worth so much more. Seems his market was not as high as he thought, and finally he returned to the team he said he would never play for again to take whatever they offered. Kreutz was set to hit FA a few years back, when he was still playing at a high level and considered one of the top centers in the league. Everyone moaned abou…

In the link are two videos. In case you missed them yesterday. Both are either players just having fun or... (in the case of an historic return) "illegal celebration". You decide. Nice work fellas. http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/10/03...rces=topbuttons

With 324 yards rushing and 310 receiving and the Bears having a total of 1231 net yards he is clearly the kingpin of this offense. The longer the team waits the more costly it will be for them to sign him. As he spoke to Waddle and Silvy on AM 1000 ESPN todfay he said that even though he is trying to play through it, that its a distraction. He says he wants to be with a team that appreciates what he does. I agree!!

The usual blah blah from him ,he praised Hester said that they didn't play defense like they would have like(no sh--) and that they need to clean things up. When the reporters started asking him some pointed questions about acquiring players like Steve Smith he made a couple of comments and then the press conference ended shortly after that.

I was just on nfl.com and they had their can't miss plays of week 4 and Hester's record breaking return wasn't one of them And nothing with Forte also.

1. Forte! Fortisimo! What a game! ...need I say, pay the man. 2. Hester...YOU ARE RIDICULOUS! Almost 2 runbacks! Kudos for Mr. Hester sending his ball to canton and taking the all time record! What a joy it has been to watch you! 3. The D. Garbage today. Besides the great tip drill by Moore, the D played poorly. There was little pressure, when there was, Newton slipped away or got off a great pass. Only to deja vu all over again and see Steve Smith eat chunks of field like no tomorrow. Again. Marinelli's guys did not looks up to the game in all honesty. Mistakes abounded. Kudos to Newton. That kid can play football. 4. Martz still worr…

We got beat.....up by 14.....3rd and 1 screens..... A penalty and a drop and a block field goal stop their 7....... cutler looks molested....... Major sucks...random thoughts

After the week that has been, ... the score the Bears have (and with the win I might add) is 34. Madlith: What do you think about that as a tribute? I say well done Bears.

Now this is the article I've been waiting to see. It was only a matter of time! Read this short article. At the end it states that Walter Payton's agent (Bud Holmes) that was quoted in the Biography "May seek legal action if he feels he was misquoted." And denies saying that Walter was an addict or addicted to drugs. http://www.csnchicago.com/10/01/11/Paytons...&feedID=626 Legal action is all the more reason that Jarrett will not comment on twitter or his Radio Shows about this book. I hope justice is served!
