Bears waived RB David Cobb. The ex-Titans bust made it four months on the Bears' offseason roster. Also waived Monday were RB Bralon Addison, WR Dres Anderson, CB DeVante Bausby, CB Jacoby Glenn and TE Justin Perillo. http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/357...cluding-rb-cobb Bausby and Glenn were the biggest names and the crowded secondary gets thinner really quick.

Pace must be on Sprint, because he is seriously whiffing or not even attempting any of these signings. I guess we are happy with our OLine.

Hey board...long time no post...Ive only had time to read. So let me cut to the chase...I recorded a rock version of Bear Down Chicago Bears, and am putting it out there for Bears fan enjoyment...I hope you like/love it and pass it around! My ultimate dream is to have it played at the stadium after a TD, and if I sell a few copies (less than a buck!), maybe the Bears will take notice and play it? Dare to dream and Bear Down! windbar http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/bear-down...gle/id475660416

We are in the process of buying a house in La Quinta and I wondered where fellow Bear fans go for games in the La Quinta, Indian Wells, Palm Desert CA area. Let me know.

Tommie has a huge bonus due (6.67 million) at the beginning of the NFL yr (I think that is March 1st). Going to be interesting to see what they do. I imagine they pay it this time but if he doesn't show improvement next yr he is probably gone. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...earnt30.article Peace

Carson Palmer already called it a must game so the Bengals.com roundtable must have looked at the numbers to come up with a split decision to pick the 4-2 Bengals in Sunday’s 4:15 p.m. Paul Brown Stadium game against the 3-2 Bears. Under Marvin Lewis, the Bengals are 2-4 in their games before bye weeks. But under Lewis they are also 5-0 against the NFC North, 9-2-1 against the NFC at home, and have never been swept in back-to-back PBS games. Big Bird gives the Bears the edge because of their terrific run defense. But The Sage and The Eye opt for the Bengals with The Sage giving Cincinnati the intangibles and The Eye leaning to the Bengals’ ability to block the …

The Packers are switching over to the 3-4 defense and after watching ESPNs update on Packer's camp and listening to their chat about how the DEs and LBs have to change roles somewhat I got to thinking how our offense will fare against them. I view the 3-4 as more of a stout run defense that gets it's pass rush in part because of the opportunities to bring a 4th or 5th pass rusher from multiple locations. Pass coverage with 4 LB has some limitations so the pass rush is key. They've got personnel issues with guys like Kampman, the Packer's best pass rusher, who now lines up as a LB. Which means he'll have to cover someone from time to time. On our side we're …

Hopefully Thugarella doesn't see any geeky looking students with laptops while he is there... Bears | Players to appear at Chicago school Mon, 21 Apr 2008 08:47:47 -0700 ChicagoBears.com reports Chicago Bears FS Danieal Manning and CB Ricky Manning Jr. will appear at Funston Elementary School in Chicago Tuesday, April 22, to participate in an assembly for over 300 students in support of the Bears' "What Moves U" fitness program. Both players will lead students in fitness exercises, assist with a nutrition trivia game and help educate kids about the importance of being physically active. -----------------------------------------------------------------…

Some things get posted on here related to specific topics, so might has well be here

This draft seems realistic to me as far as the Bears view players and needs. 2-Johnson/DE/Georgia Tech 3-Beckwith/LB/LSU 4-Barden/WR/Cal Poly 5a-Turner/WR/USC 5b-Hamlin/FS/Clem 6-Brewster/OT/Ball State 7a-Fletcher/CB/Iowa 7b-McCall/FB/Ala They view defense a priority, they think they can get DBs in later rounds, and draft a couple of WRs.

How awful are these two. It's like two Mike Greens

I always surf the web to find stories about the Bears and found one that does that for me. Topix.com/Chicago Bears ( I dont know how to link it) It searches the web for any stories on the Bears and posts them everyday. It makes it easy for me.

PFT is reporting that we'll play the Bills on Nov. 7th in Canada. OK. Should be cold enough then for us!

Bear weather: The kickoff temperature the past two games at Soldier Field has been 19 degrees against the Jaguars and 28 degrees versus the Saints. But that probably will seem balmy Monday, when the high temperature in Chicago is expected to reach only seven degrees. The Bears have won nine straight home games when the kickoff temperature has been 32 degrees or lower. Those wins have come over the Jaguars and Saints this season, the Packers and Saints in 2007, the Vikings, Seahawks (divisional playoffs) and Saints (NFC championship) in 2006 and the Packers and Falcons in 2005. The Bears are 9-1 under coach Lovie Smith in such contests, only losing to the Texans in 20…

Did anyone else hear the post-game comments about it being "Bear weather" and that the Bears ran the ball well? I'm paraphrasing, but he said something like, "Well, it's Bear weather, and I think that when you have a game like that, you have to run. We had to run, we did run. I think we had about 38 rushes, and any time you do that it's a good thing." Does he really think we are that stupid? I was at the game, and let me tell you...it was disgraceful how poorly the Bears played. To only beat the Rams by 8 points is unreal. There were countless discipline problems, again, and the offense was ridiculous.

Last year around this time, most of the experts pre-drafts had us taking QB Andre Woodson at this time. Of course, by the time the draft rolled around: 1. We'd already given new contracts to Kyle Orton AND Rex Grossman making the idea of drafting a QB at #14 improbable. 2. Andre Woodson had been bad enough in the combine that he slipped to the 6th round. How the hell does a guy go from being projected at #14 overall to #198??? While I can't wait for the April 25-26th draft, I just wanted to rant for a moment that I hate all the pre-combine speculation . . . and I'm bored and pissed that the Vikings are winning in the second quarter.

Okay I don't know about you but I really like the white on whites! We should do away with the navy pants. Same goes for when were playing at home, go with the navy on navy! We look so much sharper with those jerseys on, what do you guys think?

....... to congratulate you on beating everyone in the weekly pick'ems contest. 13-3 to start the year off, WOW! You are a marked man now, we will all be gunning for you! LOL Here is a link to this weeks results: Week 1 Pick'em Results
