Bearstalk

You could breed them together (fill in who you want to be the girl here) and get a QB that is good at the deep ball as well as the short routes.. Season is about over and is pretty obvious that Orton is another Shane Mathews..

Just got back from the game. Some notes: - Not as cold as advertised. No wind so it was tolerable. We stood 95% of the game. - Both Brad Maynard and Robbie Gould should be in the probowl. Some one needs to explain to me how they are not. - Dave Toub deserves a huge raise. Special teams is the reason we won tonight (although they almost lost it at the end of the game). Manning return, punt fumble recovery, Hester return, blocked kick. All of these plays were huge. - Rasheed Davis did not play on offense. Bennett actually got reps. - Marty Booker: thanks for your great effort when you were here before but you need to go. Man was I wrong …

This new guy #19 should be on the field soon if the Bears are smart. We need the dep speed on both sides at WR not just Hester This would open up the middle of the field for Olsen and Clark not to say that we can throw deep to either him or Hester. http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80a40f15

for pushing the blocker into the punt at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. Great, great play. Just keep him off the field on offiense. Peace

They cannot get open or off the jam. They drop too many passes. Damn, they piss me off. Booker - gone Lloyd - gone Davis - 5th receiver, special teams only Hester can stay but stop dropping the friggin ball (2 tonight) Bennett - nice to see him get reps and he actually was open once Peace

Just FYI... (I'm in the tophat - the guys without the shirts didn't last long)

I wish everyone of you friends and family here on the board a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I know that we have had our ups and downs and that we all sometimes can't agree on issues here on the board, but hey that's what this board is for expressing our owns thoughts about ourMonsters of the Midway! Also may all your families be blessed and have a wonderful hulidays as well.! Oh I wwant to thank all of you who have made my stay here in Irag as a Bear fan wonderful....you know who you ar and I still owe you guys postage & handling fees! I haven't forgotten just emil me your address to the nearest Western Union close to you! THANKS ALOT!!!!

ok, yes i am a Patriot homer, but here is how i would at least attemp to turn our beloved Bears around (although it would never happen) Fire GM and coaches. Hire Scott Pioli as GM, Josh McDaniels (NE O Coord.) as head coach...let them hire the rest of the staff. Sign Matt Cassel. We need to turn this franchise in a new direction and i think those are the guys to do it. What say you

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!!!!

He looked a LOT better tonight. He got some decent blocking and looked to go vertically instead of trying to run around everyone and get tackled for -3 yards. He was aggressive going down the field and looked like the Hester of old. I expect him to break one against Houston, and if I'm the Bears, I put Hester out there returning kicks NEXT to Danieal Manning. Side note...we need to play Soulja Boy again when he is back to return.

Orton 13-25 179 2 TD Forte 22 rushes 122 yards 1 TD, 3 catches 39 yards Bears 27-19

Feed up with dumb defense play. Either get a real defensive coordinator or lovie should take over full time. I have this feeling that nobody is taking personal ownership of the defense.

Anyone else having problems with the Chat room?

I got work early tomorrow so I won't be able to post this then: Let's get a W tomorrow. Let's knock 'em around like we did Atlanta a few years back at night in similar weather (this game will about 15 degrees colder, though). I get off at 5 so I'll be on here at the end of quarters or at halftime to give my input. BTW- for the SOB's who are going tomorrow: stay warm. It's going to be brutal.

they will make the playoffs. All they need to do is beat Denver in San Diego next week and they go in at 8-8. Wow. Peace

I always thought Gage could be a prett good receiver if we developed him correctly. I wonder how much of it has to do with coaching and how much with our personnel (O-Line and QB)...

David Hagh has a good article (at least IMdO) ovr at the Trib: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...,4206126.column I particularly liked what he said about Lovie: a good pre-game coach, but not a good in-game coach. And that Lovie has surrounded himself with "yes" men. Ten wins, though, will make him look alot better, given all the prognosticators at the start of the season that had us below the Lions!

GB - I'll take a nice sloppy game tonight. Both the bears and Pukers are about equal in terms of rushing offnese, but there is a huge difference in rush defense. We are the 7th ranked run D, allowing less than 100 yard per game and only 3.5 ypc average. GB meanwhile is the 27th run defense, allowing nearly 140 yards per game, and 4.7 ypc average. They have us in the passing game, both in offense and defense, but if the weather is as cold and bad as it looks, it will making passing much harder. Houston - I am really hoping for pooring down rain. I didn't realize this, but my dad (who lives in Houston) told me their roof is still not fixed, from the hurric…

Well, the Giants now have nothing to play for Sunday in Minnesota. Last year, Coughlin played the starters even after clinching a spot but they were also 100% last year. Jacobs is definitley not 100%. Then again, if Ward runs like this again, who knows. Yet, we must take care of business tomorrow.

they would play Minny. Miinny would be the third seed since they beat AZ head to head. If, somehow,the Bears make it as a wildcard, they would be the sixth seed. Peace
