Bearstalk

Are we ever going to see him on the field again?

Grossman: 20-34, 197 yards, 1 INT Forte: 24 carries, 74 yards, 1 TD, 7 catches, 51 yards Olsen: 3 catches, 46 yards Clark- 4 catches, 34 yards Booker: 1 catch, 17 yards Davis: 3 catches, 28 yards Hester: 2 catches, 24 yards, 1 PR for TD Defense: 3 sacks, 2 INT's, 1 TD Gould: 1-1 FG's Bears 24-17

Who starts?? Do we start flip[-flopping Manning again?? Do we go with the rookie "Steltz Bomber"?? Do we use our recently signed 40+ veteran Holt???

Video Its really cool the breakdown he has, I enjoyed it.

Bears QB Kyle Orton spoke with the media on Wednesday, and made two things very clear — he feels fortunate his right ankle injury wasn’t more severe, and he’s not ruling himself out against the undefeated Titans on Sunday. Orton said he will not practice today as he continues rehab. Beyond that, he considers the injury day to day.

Link This is the most pathetic organization in sports.

At work today, I couldn't help but to sit back and think about the Bears future. Here's the way I see it. While our defense is aging, we do have some young, starting, good players: Briggs is 27. A. Brown is 29. Dvoracek is 25. Harris is 25. Idonije is 27. Vasher is 26. Tillman is 27. Payne is 24. Harrison is 24. Graham is 23. Our defensive back-ups have looked good for what they've done, too. Roach is 23. Steltz is 22. J. Williams is 24. McBride is 23. LaRocque is 22. Bowman is 23. Also, Urlacher, Briggs, Wale, Adams, and Urlacher still have some productive years left, too, IMO. The offense also has many young, starti…

I was watching NFL network this week Eisen and Charles both made snide remarks about Ortons season. Eisen when Schefter was giving him Props and bears Props, and last nite with Lombardi talking about Ortons Injury. T.D. also gave a smirk. I dont get it, The guy been playing lights out and NFL Netork never talks about it.

Vote.

I am not a huge Rex fan but I think he performs while Orton is out. He has three or four weeks to show the NFL that he belongs and he is practically fighting for his career. The Bears are not going to sign him after this season so he has to perform to show other teams out there that he can play in the NFL these couple weeks ahead are maybe the biggest of his career lets hope he follows suit.

Brian Urlacher is no longer the best LB on this team. Further, he is an embarassment to the organization in front of the camera. If he is going to be an arse in front of the microphone, he needs to decline comment the rest of the yr. I am tired of his act. Hey Brian: stop being a turd, shut up, and play. Peace

Without our passing game, and against a stout running defense, do we have a shot and ending the 8-0 streak. This is gonna be a grind it out running game. Which really sucks now that Orton is out. We pass all over the Titans and force them to have the great Kerry Collins beat us, really sucks Anyway, did anyone else's stomach turn when you saw grossman with a helmet on....

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..
