Just because

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/1795228...-turner-resigns Cutler and company have cost another OC their job, at least this time, it the other team's OC *edit* I just couldn't help myself and had to post this. Work week is half over ladies and gentleman, we survived another week!

Congrats! http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...1102-story.html

They earned it!

If you like Oline play check out this screenshot of a Jordan Howard run late in the 4th quarter that helped win the game over the Vikings. This is inside 4min, Vikings know we're going to run and the box is stacked with 8 defenders and everyone else keyed into what Howard does at the snap. Our Oline blocks it well, Howard reads it well, and we gain 11yds for a 1st down. We have to start giving more credit to our TEs as well because both Paulsen and Miller are doing a good job blocking. The rest of the PFW analysis is excellent as well. http://www.profootballweekly.com/lists/201...e6c1ee/?page=14

I finally completed a review of the win over the Vikings with main focus on the line play, both sides. DLine: Solid play inside in this game mainly from Hicks. Either the coaches or McPhee are getting to him (likely both) because he's starting to play more violently. On his sack near the goal line he just clubbed the lineman with his right arm knocking him off balance and then just ran right past him. After some solid but unspectacular first few games his arrow is now pointing up. Unrein is still unable to get any movement in the pass rush. He's still a solid depth-type player but he's not what we need as a starter. OTOH Bullard is making progress in his pas…

The Bears are now halfway through the 2016 season and are currently sitting on the 4th pick for the 2017 NFL draft. As of today if the Bears were picking now, this would be my draft. I did go heavy in the Defensive backfield, but that is were the Bears are the thinnest today. I would like to dip a little higher on another OT, but followed a fanspeak mock and none of the prospects interested me when the picks came up. 1. Mitch Trubisky QB NC 6-3 220 - I have seen arguments about going with an instant impact player like Myles Garrett, but a high first RD pick makes more sense to get the QB to develop for the future since you get that 5th year on contract. Trubis…

Halfway through the 1st quarter and Bears are down 0-7. Why? Cutler throws his SECOND INT for a pick six!!!! WTF?!?!?!?!!??! Maybe Jay is taking Jason's advice in purposely tanking. Geeez!!!!

For only benching Howard. Just pointless...

At this point it really doesn't matter. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/11/14/rep...rest-of-season/ Peace

Cutler regressed. Alshon suspended. Long out for the year. I'm honestly not trying to pick a fight, but I'm wondering if the "always go for the win"-camp still feels the same way. If there ever was a time to shut it down, put in the JV squad, see what the team has on the bench, and play for the draft pick, now is it.

Some rumors that the Bears are one of two teams who would likely make a push for Romo this off-season. As a two year stop-gap, while we develop a QB, I absolutely would be okay with the move. We have tons of cap space and a defensive arrow that is pointing up. I don't love any of the QB's who we may not even have a shot at with our 1st round pick and this would allow us to take someone and develop them without the immediate pressure of needing them to come in (and if we misssed, we could take another one while still having a good QB...cause Romo is good (if he's healthy). Of course as everyone on this board knows, I'm also fine making a push for Jimmy G (cause I …

We had early 16-6 lead, 16-9 at half (amazing right?), then got shutout in 2nd half and lost 22-16 with multiple possessions to tie/win the game near the end. In those possessions, Cutler got sacked, strip-sacked, and threw game ending INT. The defense played doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde all game long. One drive, look dominant and next drive, look completely lost. The offense looked good in the first half and looked like a high school team in the 2nd half. Sitton and Miller got hurt, and Floyd got hurt so bad he was carted off on a backboard with an apparent neck injury. So Floyd completes the Quad-fecta, and joins fellow 1st rounders (White, Fuller, and a …

Broke his right foot and is out for the season according to Lou Canellis. And the hits just keep on coming. Peace

The 6-4 Detroit Lions are in 1st place with a +6 in net points. Minnesota looks a shell of their former self, and GB at 4-6 is laughable. At 2-8, we are obviously out of playoff contention, especially considering we have 13 players on IR, plus Miller from last night. Sitton and Floyd also left with injuries, while Massie, Urein, and Hall were out. That does not include Callahan, Porter, McPhee, Goldman, Young, Wilson, and Royal who are all nursing injuries and may miss time as well. My question to you all is, are we being too hard on the team/coaches/management for this debacle? Did our expectations of improvement mask the fact that we have the most injuries in…

http://www.letsbeardown.com/2016/11/21/bre...ded-four-games/ When does it end?

At somepoint in yesterday's game he injured his shoulder and early reports have it being a serious with the expectation that he will be out for the year. With Matt Barkley, that game against the Niners becomes critical for the who will get the #2 overall pick. Unfortunately, I can't see the Browns and the #1 pick factoring into anything, because they have a tough remaining schedule and limited talent themselves.

I don't pay attention to the salary cap stuff. Never cared to fully understand it. What's the breakdown of how Cutler affects the Bears? If he's traded, how does that affect the team's salary cap? What if he's released? I'm just wondering if his salary will be a reason teams decide not to talk to the Bears.

I have seen many news articles saying that Fox is on shaky ground; what does everyone think here? Personally, with what I know I would not tend to want to start over at this point again with another unknown quantity. That being said, not sure about Loggains and wonder about why we get hit so hard with injuries.
