The Bills are 1-4 and by all means already out of it. That being said I could see Buffalo trading T.O. for a 3rd or 4th round pick mid season. I mentioned it today with my buddy on the phone and sure enough ESPN Insider has mentioned this. ESPN Insider Thoughts? Would you consider it? T.O., Knox, Hester, Bennett with Forte, Olsen and Clark. I'd do it!!

Not that there are games we don't need to win but with Minn getting lucky yet again are now 6-0 GB winning are 3-2. A win tonight puts us at 4-1 and keeps us a game behind Minny a loss drops us to 3-2 and puts us with the Packers at 2 games back Plus it's a conference game. To win we are going to have to play a complete game Atlanta is too good to waltz in there and sleepwalk through the first half and expect to pull it out in the second half. We must establish the run and win the time of possession battle. Atlanta is a fast track we need to utilize that with our speed guys Hester and Knox. Offensive line needs to protect Jay Defensively we need to get …

What does everyone think about this? http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4567083

http://espn.go.com/nfl/picks http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/features/writers/expert/picks 16 so-called experts pick the Falcons. Not a single one picks the Bears, yet we are only 2.5 underdogs. The Jets are the only other unanimous pick to win. That means every other underdog received one vote. The odds makers are pretty good at the spread and they are actually saying the Bears are favorites on a neutral field (3 pts the normal home field advantage bonus). It is kind of funny to see their yearly records predicting the games. ESPN "experts" put CBS "experts" to shame.

I need to start 3 WR out of TO, Antonio Bryant, Hester, Knox.

They are playing some outstanding football. Kyle is playing within himself and limiting the mistakes. I'm sure they will hit a roadblock sooner of later, but you have to give them credit for a great win today. Peace FYI - I still love the trade and I know that Cutler is a franchise QB.

Man, all I gotta say is that Lovie and his staff need to re-examine how they evaluate the talent they have in camp. A lot of us here recognized that FB Lusaka Polite was a hammer and yet we let him go despite him busting people up in preseason a few years ago. Last night, that guy was a beast. To me, it's nice to have the RBs that Miami does, but this guy Polite is a difference maker. He was leading the way on just about every run and screen, picked up countless blitzes, and when they needed a yard, this guy would get into his block and get + movement every time. We haven't had that here in ages...unless you wanna count the time that he was in our camp. …

Listening on the score today they said they have a poll on there website and thought it was very interesting. Not quite like your normal polls. I wanted to see what everyone thought lol. Who is the WORST Bears QB of all time???

They looked great this week vs SF. Almost 500 yards of offense, 8-15 on 3rd downs. This will be a huge test for us next week.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/ The Cowboys really are "America's Team" Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on October 7, 2009 7:00 PM ET The Harris Poll is probably run by a large company that does many important things. But I only hear of it one time a year, when they come out with the poll that says who is "America's favorite football team." And the envelope please . . . The Dallas Cowboys came in first in the poll for the third straight year, which doesn't exactly make up for the lack of playoff wins of late. But it certainly helps Jerry Jones' bottom line. The Steelers came in second, followed by the Bears, Colts, and…

"Bears DE Adewale Ogunleye, $7,500 for unnecessary roughness (a horse-collar tackle against the Lions) " ...from NFL.com Was this the same play that most others reported was a bogus facemask penalty, meaning the NFL not only didn't think it was bogus, but they fined him for it? (the game wasn't televised so I just listened to it on the net radio).

Article on Knox in the Trib, http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-0...,6624745.column First half of article uses humor while making the point Knox is great, and then goes on to talk about the need to basically make him the fixture of the offense. W/o using the word starter, that is essentially what it says he should be, saying he should not just play 3 WR sets and should only leave the field when he needs to catch his breath. That means he would be a starter. I completely understand the logic and reasoning, but simply disagree. Before the season began, Knox was small school talent considered to have great speed and talent, but raw. He had faced tale…

They ran Wolfe up the middle again, a couple times.

they just said the Knox has a leg injury? What happened?

Impressive accomplishment: Smith registered his 50th victory in his 88th game as Bears coach Sunday (including playoffs), reaching the milestone quicker than Bill Parcells (89th game), Bill Walsh (91st), Chuck Noll (94th), Bill Belichick (111th) and Tom Landry (119th). http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=6177
