it has been reported on NFL channel that revis is going to be traded or cut today. i would go very large on revis. we have NO high cost player on this side of the ball and he would give us the option, cost wise, to eat a large part of his contract while we groom tackles or defensive ends through the draft. revis would be the best possible scenario to come to chicago. he is the type of player we have not had maybe ever. with a very good cover corner in his PRIME we could solidify our pass defense for the next 4 + years with a real talent in a pass oriented NFL. it also gives us the option to run ANY type of defense with a cover corner who can shut down an…

Now that we're off to a better start than most (I) expected, what do you think of the remaining schedule? @ Steelers @ Lions vs. Saints vs. Giants @ Redskins @ Packers vs. Lions vs. Ravens @ Rams @ Vikings vs. Cowboys @ Browns @ Eagles vs. Packers

Bears 16-0, Super Bowl Champs! that is all

With the draft complete, using our original picks, what would've been your dream draft knowing who was picked where? Only rule is you must select a player that would've been available at our slot and in the same round. Here would be mine: #3 - Solomon Thomas, DL (SF trades #2 to someone else, Thomas available at 3 since he is there, I take him) #36 - Sidney Jones, CB (wanted Cam Robinson, considered Baker and Jones, and ultimately went with a CB) #67 - Antonio Garcia, OT (the 3rd round looked much different than I expected, could've went several directions here) #111 - Eddie Jackson, S (I actually like this pick here, good job Pace, you got one right…

IMdO, JA REALLY #%@$&!!! screwed this draft from the Fourth Pick on. Marcus Harrison in the Third?!? Character concerns, Injuries, and "a problem at times in the locker room (the staff questioned his toughness, as he would not give full effort when hurt and while trying to become a leader, he failed to live by example and spent more time yelling at teammates rather than mentoring them)" Furthermore, how many NTs does this team need? What about trying to find another 3 technique before Tommie leaves or gets hurt again? Both Carlton Powell AND DeMario Pressley lasted until the Fifth round. Sorry JA, but, with the way the O-Line played l…

After watching all of training camp and the preseason to date, I don't think I have ever seen so many draft picks have a chance to make the 53-man roster, especially considering most were 5th round picks or later. 2 39 KYLER GORDON CB WASHINGTON - Obviously a lock for the 53-man 2 48 JAQUAN BRISKER S PENN STATE - Obviously a lock for the 53-man 3 71 VELUS JONES JR. WR TENNESSEE - Obviously a lock for the 53-man 5 168 BRAXTON JONES OT SOUTHERN UTAH - Unbelievable pick if he starts Week 1 as LT and looks good. Pick of the draft maybe. 5 174 DOMINIQUE ROBINSON DE MIAMI (OH) - Another crazy 5th rounder. …

I'm going to get ripped, and even I'm confused as to why I'm making this thread. 1. Derek Anderson hasn't looked too good, but they are paying him $10 million a year, and I don't think they'll be paying him that riding the pine. 2. Orton is a back-up QB in the NFL (just a starter here, and a few other places). If we are going to suck, we might have a top 10 pick anyways, and we may as well start rebuilding by picking up Brady. 3. With CW coming back as soon as possibly week 12 this year, draft another OT in the 1st round (or an OG) and he'll have a young line. 4. It probably won't take a 1st round pick anymore, it might just take a 2nd and a 4th, maybe a 4th ne…

The best out of division opponents for this year are SF, HOU, DAL, and TEN, and none of those are really scary teams. 11-12 wins seems fairly reasonable to me. Home Seattle Seahawks St. Louis Rams Houston Texans Indianapolis Colts Carolina Panthers Detroit Lions Green Bay Packers Minnesota Vikings Away Arizona Cardinals San Francisco 49ers Jacksonville Jaguars Tennessee Titans Dallas Cowboys Detroit Lions Green Bay Packers Minnesota Vikings

Some here are hanging their hats on the statement Pace made talking about building through the draft. This has lead me to wanting to re watch it and digest it again after the initial excitement of a new GM wore off. The statement was made about building in the draft for sustained success, and it's certainly understandable to take that quote and run with it, but there's more to it. When asked about whether this is a rebuilding team or a team capable of a quick turnaround, Pace brought up the 06 Saints. The 05 Saints were 3-13 and Pace talked about how everyone was talking about how the team was in need of a "Massive rebuild" and how the team was "Decimated", but …

The deal is done, it's a year 1 deal http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=4400 Well, now that I know it's 1 year instead of 2, it looks like we'll still draft Henne or Flacco in round 2

I just want to ask your opinion on keeping Rex Grossman. If JA offered Rex a contract that was set up to pay him as a #2, but with incentives that kick in with meeting certain stats, would you be opposed. I for one would not be opposed because I think we have our starter and franchise in Kyle Orton. Grossman would be considered a vet, he knows our coaches/system/players, has been very loyal, and has done good things at the helm. With some time on the bench, maybe a light will turn on, kinda like what happened with Orton. Also, I would hate to see him go to MIN and see him flourish with an offense already built and I have his jersey LOL. Thought this mi…

Rex Grossman needs good showing vs. Seattle An interesting article but mistitled in my opinion. It has far less to do with the title than it does with 10 topics of discussion that the author makes on issues for the Bears to face, only 1 of the 10 being Rex vs Kyle. My favorite point of the 10 mentioned:

Dan Grossman make some very good points and I am leaning towards the organization is the most to blame: what do you think? http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...,1193797.column

I think he is a really good kid. It's unfortunate it hasn't worked out for him here. He is really needing a change of scenery. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...x082508.article Peace

I thought I was the only football fan watching these bull runs in Pamplona but Rex Ryan is actually there: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100000021...-once-but-twice Rex was lucky that bull just stopped at a huge pileup of people and never attacked anyone, especially considering how long it took him to get over the fence. My wife is Spanish and so we have TV broadcast from Spain and I watch the run nightly at 11pm. This is how I survive the worst sports month of the year. If anyone is interested the video of the daily bull runs is all here: http://www.sanfermin.com The videos of the daily runs are at the El Encierro link near the top. In t…

He's likely to be fired at the end of the year. Mel Tucker is awful and should be fired the minute the season is over, although I am not very confident Trestman will see things the same way.. Lets assume Tucker is gone and Ryan is fired. Should the Bears try to get him as the new DC? I don't know if his personality meshes well with Trestman's but there's no question that Rex knows how to coach defense. Just a thought..

https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/554261179564978177 I wish they still had Orton, it would be interesting to see what Orton can do in Trestman's system if he is hired as OC.

Thought some of you would find this amusing. This ball sells for about $80 normally, but with good ol Rexy's signature on it, it only sells for $20. Wilson Official NFL Football - The Duke $19.99 +SH Alright so I found this ball that normally sells on amazon for $79 [amazon.com] for $20 here [steinersports.com] the only downside is that Rex Grossman signed it so you will have to do a little work to clean it off or play with as is but it might make you throw more interceptions then you normally do. Flate rate shipping of $8.99 no matter how many you buy. Product Details The Chicago Bears selected quarterback Rex Grossman during the first roun…

What the hell happened to our pass rush? Rex, off his back foot... No poise... Glad this is his last year. Hope Orton is back next week. Ran out of Tums watching Rex today.
