Nice to see. And Wolfe gets his first TD! Good second half on this one.

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

So far I have found: Jay Cutler Matt Forte Tommie Harris Greg Olsen Nick Roach Do you guys know of anyone else on there?

Game just started and we are already complaining about the refs. Absolutely horrible. It was clear that wasn't a face mask.

I have several question marks due to injuries and bye weeks this week. Jay Cutler or Tom Brady? Generally speaking I don't sit Brady but Cutler has such a favorable matchup. Which 2 RB's do you start, Clinton Portis, Joseph Addai, or Ronnie Brown? Also due to injuries I am having to start Kelley Washington or I can pickup Mark Clayton?

Comments? Regardless of what happens here we need to win today I'd like to see a decisive win but I'll take a win. GB wins and they improve to 3-1 and Minny drops to 3-1 and if we win we improve to 3-1. 3 way tie for the division with the 1-3 lions at the bottom GB looses and they drop to 2-2 and Minny improves to 4-1 and if we win we improve to 3-1. we would move into second place. I have to think that this matchup favors the Packers. Minnesota hasn't had a true test like this yet. The 49ers should have beaten them last week but due to a fluke didn't. The Vikings have been flirting with failure and this time I think it bites them. I personally do…

I'm not sure I'm be able to post when I'm in Chicago, but if I can't...then I'll keep it simple... GO BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!

My buddy and I will be in row 6 section 439 ...yelling our fool head's off! GO BEARS!!!!

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_...?urn=nfl,193266 I think it is a little too early for a comparison like this. Especially considering that Forte's rookie year was better than any year by either of the two. I also believe that he is playing injured, our O-Line has been bad in support of the run, teams have stacked the box, and we've played 2x 3-4 defenses.

Cutler: 26-33, 285 yards, 3 TD's Forte: 25 carries, 101 yards, 1 TD, 4 catches, 36 yards, 1 TD Peterson: 5 carries, 21 yards Wolfe: 3 carries, 8 yards Hester: 7 catches, 78 yards, 1 TD Bennett: 6 catches, 63 yards Knox: 4 catches, 53 yards Olsen: 4 catches, 39 yards, 1 TD Davis: 2 catches, 16 yards Bears 37-16

Jeff Garcia just got cut. Wouldn't it be a good security blanket to have him in Chicago? The guy has proven himself in the NFL, and I'm not all that impressed with the Bears' backup QBs. What could it hurt? Thoughts?

Yea he has been out of the league a few years but I guess he had some great workouts for Andy Reid...wonder if he was ever a thought

I was re-watching the game and got to thinking...Isn't this technically a safety? He fields the kickoff in bounds backpedals out of bound and downs the ball out of bounds? Always thought if you on your own step out of the back of the end zone it's a safety? I could be wrong if the rules are different on Kick off returns as opposed to being on offense and stepping on the end line. Probably a dumb question but curiosity. Along those lines the kickoff pictured here is the one following the roughing which honestly that's a worthless penalty to simply kick it off 15 yards further up field. Unless you have a kicker who struggles with distance it's going to be a touchb…

Bears bring back Darrell McClover Posted by Mike Florio on September 29, 2009 4:45 PM ET The Chicago Bears have done a Tuesday roster shuffle, dropping cornerback DeAngelo Smith and re-signing linebacker Darrell McClover. McClover spent three years with the team, working primarily on special teams. As Brad Biggs of the Chicago Sun-Times points out, McClover was inked for his special-teams skills. He also will provide depth at the linebacker position if the team has any further injury difficulties. Pisa Tinoisamoa (knee) and/or Hunter Hillenmeyer (rib) could play this week against the Lions.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/...s-week-to-week/ This would be a nice break for the Bears.

I think we'd have won in either case but this can't be bad for the Bears.

Pix - Please note these aren't my positions on these matters but I think I can sum it up... 1.) While most realists expected 10-6 a solid year for this team, most football fans may pretend to be realists on the outside but deep down everyone hopes for perfection. Seeing a team from last year with a 9-7 record only improve 1 game to this year after adding Cutler just wasn't enough for most fans. Urlacher and Tommy were supposed to be MUCH better this year due to health. 2.) Our one loss was to the Packers and we lost in a very disappointing fashion. It made a lot of people think of last season and how we found ways to lose. 3.) Many saw Forte as a su…
