Bearstalk

I am posting this here as well in the fantasy forum to make sure everyone who is playing in the contests see the thread and are informed. For those not involved in the contests, sorry. Starting this week we will be having Thursday Night Games on NFL Network. I will be putting up the Picksheets asap, usually on Tuesday evenings after I get home from work. If you want to select the Thursday night game you will need to submit a COMPLETE picksheet prior to the start of the Thursday night game. I realize this does not give you time to think over the remaining games but do not worry. After the Thursday night game is over, you will be able to resubmit a new pic…

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,2053631.story After tests, Orton told he'll miss 3-4 weeks By Vaughn McClure | Tribune staff reporter 6:43 PM CST, November 3, 2008 After undergoing a series of tests Monday, Bears quarterback Kyle Orton was told he would miss three to four weeks, according to an NFL source. "The MRI revealed no ligament tear," according to the source. Coach Lovie Smith would not reveal Orton's status during a Monday news conference, saying only that his quarterback was scheduled to take more tests. Orton will miss Sunday's game against undefeated Tennessee but could return in time to face Minnesota on Nov. 30.

The guy busts his a$$ getting us into the redzone and then we give the ball to McKie or to the QB for a 1 yard plunge? What is this, Varsity Blues? Yesterday was like the 4th or 5th time that's happened and it drives me insane!!! The man should be rewarded for his effort and he seems too classy to b1tch about it so I'm doing it for him. Stats matter to most players on some level, and Pro Bowl voters can easily be swayed by flashy numbers. Not to mention we lost a game because we tried that FB dive instead of giving the rock to Forte twice. Full disclosure: Forte is on my fantasy team =)

OK, I think I need to vent for a moment after watching yesterday's roller-coaster ride... Before Orton got hurt, the O was moving as usual, and the D was sputtering as usual (this and last season). I was livid watching the D! I could not believe how awful they were playing. How, the same routes that killed us in our other games were killing us again. How we kept plying off receivers so much that you could park a semi between our D backs and their WR's... All this had me just beyond annoyed. Then Kye got hurt. I could not begin to tell you how the air got let loose from my tires... I really saw the whole thing flushed down the toilet. I was certain the …

1. In the offseason, I think we'll let Clark walk, re-sign Rex (2 years, 4 million), let Booker walk, re-sign Lloyd (2 years, $6 million), and I think we'll release Hillenmeyer. 2. Then, I think we'll sign TJ Houshmandzadeh to a contract worth around $8 a year for 4 years. We need a #1 and I'm not sure who else we can cut or not re-sign other than Booker. I don't see us letting Lloyd walk away. 3. Then, I'll think we'll deal our late-teens pick to a team like Tennessee who wants to move up for a guy like Maclin or Heyward-Bey and get their 1st and their 3rd. 1. Herman Johnson, OG, LSU 2. Greg Middleton, DE, Indiana 3. Xavier Fulton, OT, Illinois 3. Antoine …

Hester needs to come off kickoffs. He has 2 fumbles so far this yr and simply does not look the same. Personally, I think he simply cannot handle all the responsibilities given to him. Leave him on punt returns but give Wolfe or Manning the kickoff duties going forward. Peace

maybe if he produced like that more often he wouldn't be such a douche bag..

Noots’ Notes-Game 8: 27-23 Win over Detroit By Michael Nudo The Bears (5-3) overcame a 10-point halftime deficit and the loss of quarterback Kyle Orton to defeat the Detroit Lions 27-23 at Soldier Field. The Lions remain winless. The Bears stand alone at the top of the NFC North after the Packers were beaten 19-16 by the undefeated Titans in overtime. The Bears take on Tennessee next week. A costly win (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh). OFFENSE QuarterbackKyle Orton (8-14-108, 2/7, TD) was off to another strong start. Although he had a misfire he’d like to have back on a throw to Greg Olsen at the goal line, he made some good adjustments. One of his best play…

Was just watching ESPNews and they said it. Fasten your seatbelts.

I'd like to give props to my man Rex. He did a nice job for someone who has barely played since preseason. Screw the haters. Classless Bears fans booing him in the 3rd qtr. You know show the guy some damn support. People are all over Orton's nuts like he's some legend. Yet, every damn time Rex touches the ball he gets booed. I swear Rex can smile and still get booed. I've come to conclusion that Bears fans are the biggest idiots in the NFL.

This is the way I saw it, being there live. 1. Mike Brown- go away, pu$$y. You're done, don't matter how much any of us like to hear that. 2. Steltz played well coming off the bench. He was all over the field. 3. I hope that rumor is the truth, because I'm not sure how much faith I have in Rex. No offense, 88, I'm just saying. 4. Calvin Johnson is a G. The guy is a beast and is going to be a pain in our royal a$$es for years to come. 5. The field was our MVP today- had Hanson not slipped on the XP, we would have went to OT. 6. However ugly it was or wasn't, this isn't the BCS. A win is a win. We won't have to play a better team in the playoffs because we ba…

This is from a guy on the Bears board. Said he heard it on Sirius Radio.

I can not believe there was no flag on that play for late hit. To boot now we have Rex. The Season is in flux at this point. Lets Hope Rex can win it.

How many times are we going to beat a dead horse here? Where the hell is the pass rush?!

SportingNews thinks so.

Fox Sports reports that Daunte will sign a two year deal with the Kitties on Monday. What an organization!

Steve Rosenbloom has kept his mouth shut since the bears seem to moving in great direction, Marrotti pulled this as well. Wonder if his thoughts are resign like Jayhole did or still stick his finger socket as soon as omething goes a little wrong. God i hate that guy.
