It's really hard to use this site on a smart phone. Hey admins, have you ever thought about making a TalkBears app?

http://deadspin.com/5934440/the-circadian-...rtain-nfl-teams Heard this brought up on the radio today, and found it to be a bit of mind blowing information. To give you the skinny, basically, the Circadian rhythm deals with our body temperature and overall alertness level based on the time of day. How is this relevant? Well, Stanford University did a study with NFL Monday Night Football games, when a West Coast team is matched up against an East Coast team, and over the last 25 years, the teams out West have won an astounding 63% of the time by an average of 2 TOUCHDOWNS. What's more, the team out west beat the spread 70% of the time! The West Coast teams dominated t…

I had to delete my Twitter Account Any news on his return or status?

-The WR's/TE's can't catch. Marshall had 2 drops today as did Kellen Davis. Hester and Jeffery EACH dropped a TD. -Cutler didn't play well although drops never help. -Even though the OL is playing alright, they had a hold and then a false start on the one drive after Forte had a long run + a personal foul. -Forte had 85 yards on 13 carries. Only 13 carries? Why even sign him to an extension then?

From PFW's "Audibles" section, where they supposedly are getting inside, anonymous information from NFL Scouts, coaches, and front-office personnel, they pose the following thought: "I'm surprised the Bears have not tried Carimi at left tackle. That's what he played at Wisconsin. Chris Williams looked better than Carimi at right tackle, and Williams had to bailed out from playing on the outside. He couldn't get it done at tackle or guard." You mean draft players and play them in the position they know?

For one reason or another, I ended up on Jamarcus Webb's Facebook page. And, let me tell you, it's definitely full of his personality. So what's wrong with that? Allow me to extrapolate... He doesn't seem to be a very serious person. Everything seems to be a big game, a big joke to him. It all seems to be about smiling, doing internet contests, and giving away free tickets. He makes regular, late-night runs to fast food restaurants - something I doubt someone like Adrian Peterson or Thomas Jones does. I guess what I'm saying is, I don't like his attitude. For that much money, I expect more. For that much money, he should be more professional, more dedica…

For the Oline specialists out there what are your thoughts on James Brown? In his first couple games he was getting pushed around a lot, he still needs to improve his strength IMO. Lately he seems to settling into the role at LG and I thought he played ok today. Cutler had a lot of time to throw throughout the game and as someone who has watched more Cards games than most they do have a good pass rush. We still can't open holes inside for the running game but did seal the edge a few times for some nice gains. Is there potential for this guy to be on the roster next year? Better than Spencer/EWilliams at LG?

http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teameff Bears are currently 6th overall, mainly due to the dominating #1 Defense and #4 Special Teams. Current Overall Rating 1. SEA* 2. DEN* 3. NE* 4. SF* 5. GB* 6. CHI 7. ATL* 8. BAL* 9. NYG 10. HOU* * - Clinched Playoff spot 8 out of the top 10 are playoff teams, WAS is 11th, CIN is 13th, MIN is 16th, and IND is 28th. I was surprised to see the Bears that high, but the Defensive scoring has been silly this year. Also surprised to see IND that low.

I heard someone call him "the professor"... I like it. Between him and Emery, looks like eyeglasses may be a mandate!

My daughter thinks the Bears should use this as part of their new offensive scheme. She says she could see Jay Cutler doing this. Think Trestman would give it a try?

Top Athlete: Alec Ogletree – Georgia – 6’3/232 The former safety has been receiving criticism from my end for a long time. Each time I watch the talented but underachieving Bulldogs defense on tape, Ogletree jumps out at me in two ways. One good, one bad. Top end speed, agility, and reaction. Closes a 5-10 yard window quicker than anyone in this class. An easy, fluid mover in coverage with fast-twitch hips. Physical tackler that knows how to finish a play when he has his weight under him. Struggles mightily against oncoming blockers. Minimal physical presence. Gets locked on to with ease and cannot free himself. A liability against the inside rushing game…

I've seen several comments about how good a group (for receiving) the TEs looked. It appears we'll have more good options outside of the first round. http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/NFP-br...ys-workout.html

Make sure you look at #70 around the 5:14 mark...how many lineman do that?? Watch #78 step up in level of play...did ok
