Bearstalk

Honestly, the game against the Giants was the worst performance by an OL in perhaps the history of the NFL. Let that sink in. The HISTORY of the NFL. If the Bears do not draft OL multiple times in the first four rounds, then it's the most incompetent front office in the NFL.

Last year, I screamed for two TE formations. This year, what I really want to see is a 3 TE package. Kellen Davis and Clark play TE off the OTs, while Olsen splits out. Lloyd is our lone WR, w/ Forte in the backfield. Just think about the potential w/ the formation, as well as the matchup problems it would create. (1) Our OL sucks, but we would provide the OL (whether on passing or running downs) w/ two additional/good blockers. (2) W/ Clark and Davis as the inside TEs, that likely puts Olsen on a DB, where he has size and creates a very big matchup problem. (3) Clark and Davis are both solid blockers, but also solid potential receivers. (4) Forte…

Big dummy! PS. If you're new and think I'm being mean... Well, I am. But that's just between NFO and me!

Hester didn't show up to TC today. (neither did Tillman, Kreutz, Dvoracek, and another player, but that's for another thread at another time). Thoughts??

So we can finally start looking hard at the offseason. 1. February 24th - March 2nd - NFL Combine: we should have a good idea how the players will be slotted after the combine and some pro days. Mock drafts on fire. 2. March 16th - Legal tampering period: We will see a flurry of activity starting around this date as players start locking in deals with teams, will the Bears sign a QB? Is Mike Glennon available? 3. March 18th - The official first day of the league year and the official Start to Free Agency. All the official announcements start on the first wave of free agent signings; teams have to exercise options by 4pm. 4. March 29th - April 1st - Ann…

The Chicago Bears terminated the contract Thursday of guard Mansfield Wrotto, a vested veteran.The Bears waived cornerback Donovan Warren after the first day of minicamp.

In addition to the recent Cutler story http://www.theonion.com/content/news_brief...ource=a-section The onion seems to always be following the Bears. Anyhow, if you haven't read those below, they are pretty hilarious. Especially the new "look-like-shit" offense. The humor lies in its truth. http://www.theonion.com/content/news_brief...l_new_look_like http://www.theonion.com/content/news_brief...nning_back_cant http://www.theonion.com/content/news_brief...rex_grossman_to http://www.theonion.com/content/news_brief...her_out_four_to http://www.theonion.com/content/news_brief..._grossman_i_was

I have no doubt over half the members who post here will be moaning and groaning, some totally ballistic, about the Bears selections. Happens every year, we all have our favorites, guys we want drafted, but unfortunately they are seldom selected. I just hope this year we can keep it all in perspective and give Emery a chance to prove his worth without making rash judgements saying he is a failure because he did not pick who we want and making selections he feels will be best for the Bears, this year and the future.

Not even going to mention all the bad things in this game but a few good things I noticed were. - Ogunleye is playing like he wants a new contract - Tillman looked pretty good for his first action of the season - Johnny Knox looks to be a weapon at different times throughout the game - Hester looked like a #1 receiver.

I like how Emery is filling out this roster. He didn't bite on restructuring veterans to make more cap space. He is following a plan even though us as fans want the right now satisfaction. By this time next year, we will have at least 7 picks to load up and our cap situation should be healthy were we can continue to add or sign our own. LB is a position we were in desperate need of. Williams and Anderson are on one year contracts and Briggs is getting up there in age. I called for Ogletree/Brown in my last mock, we couldve went that route. I am actually more pleased getting Long and two guys that were not much of a dropoff. Here's to hoping Emerys vision has some succe…

The Perfect Compliment for Matt Forte: Cedric Benson by ifuwannacrownem on Feb 13, 2009 6:41 PM CST There is no Denying that Matt Forte Gave us the best chance to win in 2008. He broke many rookie rushing records last season, as well as some receiving records. He also finished third in total touches behind the Vikings Adrian Peterson and the Falcons Michael Turner. Through the good, Chicago still managed to finish 24th in yards, 26, in average yards per carry, and 24 in yards per game. The aforementioned teams had the right formula to constantly pound the rock: a spell-back and the threat of a deep pass. The Bears however, had their backs against the wall, and…

I would be thrilled if the Bears draft unfolded like this, how about you? http://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/premium/draft.php?d=nluivc 15 - R1P15 CB TRAE WAYNES MICHIGAN ST (day one starter opposite Fuller) http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/tra...ynes?id=2552448 45 - R2P13 OT/G JAKE FISHER OREGON ( Will replace Mills and start at RT or allow Long to move to RT) http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/jak...sher?id=2552360 46 - R2P14 DE DANIELLE HUNTER LSU (could be another fast rush OLB) http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/dan...nter?id=2552603 75 - R3P11 RB JAY AJAYI BOISE ST (would compete a nice 3…

Benson with over 100 yds. Ocho Cinco with over 100 yds. Bengals score on their 1st 5 possessions. Bears absolutely, positively got their asses handed to them in th 1st half. Hanie should be in soon as their is no point in sending Jay out there. This team will not make the playoffs. Peace

if what we are seeing is truly in the works then we really may see a change in how this franchise operates and is perceived. the rumors are out there that from the top down they have used the phoenix effect. burn this franchise to the ground and let it rise from the ashes. if so, then there is finally real hope for this team and it's fans. it seems it is starting from the very top: virginia mccaskey (a very good read)... http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/12/29/ber...d-bears-action/ moving ted phillips out of football operations and really hire a team president in that respect. these things are way more important than just hiring and firing a new c…

We're all thinking it, trying to figure out how to fix the team going forward. There are a few obvious plans. One possibility is that they'll fire Pace and let the new GM clean house in every way. This isn't a bad idea at all, and it's probably the most likely one. If you think there is nothing redeemable here, then you're starting over from scratch. It'll take a few years to put it together, especially since we don't have a first round pick this year. So Mack won't be around and in his prime when you finally get it back together, and suddenly you understand what Gruden was thinking and you trade Mack for a couple of firsts to get it going. Except you can't. He …

If we win our two games and end up 10-6 which would you prefer to happen? 1. The Vikings lose to the Giants and we win the Division and play the first game at home against either the Bucs or the Cowboys. OR 2. We win the wild card by Tampa losing to the Raiders and the Eagles beating the Cowboys and we play the Vikings again in the first round. IMHO I want number one to happen!!!!

Everyone is pissed we blew it and all, and this team definitely needs a lot of work, but here's a look at some of the bright spots from the season... 1.) We won 9 games: Yes, we blew 3 games early in the season and we could have easily won 12 or 13, but we improved. We went from 7-9 to 9-7 when people thought we'd be even worse. 2.) Greg Olsen: He had 1 terrible game against Carolina, but he's established himself as a top TE and a great receiving threat. When you have a TE that NFL CB's have trouble defending, you have something good. 3.) Kyle Orton (pre-injury): He was pretty awesome in a few games for us, and before his injury, I really thought we might …

The good: Tillman Urlacher Vasher (Glad to see his return) The bad: Well I could go on forever Thoughts: I thought Kyle Orton did what he could with what he had. I still don't know what the gameplan was for Turner coming into the game; usually you can see what most teams want to do from snap 1. With little time to throw its pretty tough to complete a high % of your passes. The offense sucks, Turner sucks, Lovie sucks, end of story. The D looked pretty good. How does Turner still have a job?
