http://blogs.suntimes.com/bears/2010/09/ma...issues_fro.html Martz addresses key issues from Lions game By Neil Hayeson September 13, 2010 8:42 PM | Permalink | Comments (4) | TrackBacks (0) Mike Martz and Lovie Smith don't know what all the fuss is about when it comes to Calvin Johnson's touchdown catch that wasn't a touchdown catch. The Bears coach and offensive coordinator appeared on WBBM's (AM 780) "Bears Insider" Show on Monday night and said there was never any doubt in their minds that Johnson's leaping catch with 25 seconds left in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Lions was not a catch. "That rule has been in effect for quite some time,…

Our cornerback depth is in shambles. Hopefully, Vash is back next week and the other 3 are not out long. Wow. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,5307510.story Peace

http://myespn.go.com/blogs/nfcnorth/0-6-49...valuations.html Chicago Bears (9-7) The Bears took early control of the NFC North but missed a chance to create a deep cushion after giving up leads against Carolina, Tampa Bay and Atlanta. And yet even with those missed opportunities and a 1-3 stretch in late November, the Bears could have earned a wild-card berth had they won their season finale at Houston. That failure should jump-start a number of self-scouting exercises, especially to figure out why their defense slipped in nearly every area two years after leading the team to the Super Bowl. Grade: B- Biggest surprise: There was a general consensus that Matt Fo…

Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs 31m Given injuries on offensive line #Bears are expected to re-sign veteran Eben Britton per NFL source. Garza and Slausson to miss a few weeks.....Luckily I thought DLP and Ola played well.

http://chicagofootballchili.com/index.html Looks pretty easy and some look pretty good!

Aaron Leming is pretty confident (on the radio right now) that Zach Miller will be re-signed.

This is a good summary of some flags on players that teams will be watching closely at the combine. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/nf...s-measurements/

DATE OPPONENT TIME (CT) Aug. 10-14 DENVER BRONCOS TBD Aug. 17-21 at Arizona Cardinals TBD August 27 at Tennessee Titans Noon Aug. 31-Sept. 1 CLEVELAND BROWNS TBD

Right now we have MIN and GB ahead of us in the division and ATL, SEA and TB ahead of us in the Wild Card. Based on schedules going forward, it seems like ATL and MIN have the hardest paths. Week 12: ATL 6-4 vs MIN 7-3 TB 5-5 at IND SEA 5-5 vs PIT Week 13: GB 7-4 at DET MIN 7-3 vs SEA 5-5 ATL 6-4 at TB 5-5 Most realistic: MIN beats ATL, then loses to SEA, moving to 8-4 GB beats DET, moving to 8-4 ATL loses to MIN, then beats TB, moving to 7-5 SEA loses to PIT, then beats MIN, moving to 6-6 TB loses to both IND and ATL, and drops to 5-7 1. MIN gets ATL, SEA, ARZ, CHI, NYG, and GB. Of all the teams, they have the toughest path to th…

https://soundcloud.com/martysaurusrex/4-smo...orange-dinosaur MartyB released a mix tape, I'm sure all you young cats will love this. Thoughts on track 4?

It just seems to me, the following are things are bad trends that seem to have no end in sight... 1. We can't beat Green Bay. One out of the 9 last attempts is beyond dismal 2. We have a hard time beating good teams. Seems like when we go against a really good team, we tend to play our worst. Whether is the Giants, SF, Green Bay, NE, NO...granted, most teams struggle against good teams. But good teams beat good teams often enough. We can beat up on the Colts, Vikings, Rams...but when it comes to a good team, I think our record is really awful. 3. We play poor at night it seems. We did win a couple last year. But damn if it just doesn't seem we play our …

RT @mortreport: Teams interested in Matt Hasselbeck: AZ, Buff, Chi, Cin, Cleve, Indy, NO, NYG, SF & Tampa,...and list could grow.

Gents, I have 4 tickets to both the Thursday, 8/15 and 8/29, preseason games available. I am willing to part with them for $40 each (half face value). I am simply trying to recoup some of my cost. Email me at jaycschulz@gmail.com if interested. First come, first served. Peace

I'm not sure I ever saw this on the site before... http://www.stack.com/2013/09/26/can-you-pa...ditioning-test/ I plan on trying this soon. I don't think it should be an issue.

Looking at a defense that is in double digit territory in turnovers and leading the league in points per game is what we like after 6 games and having an established #1 WR for the QB to throw to under duress. Having the deepest DL in the league after enetring the season with the age of the defense being questioned was not expected. On a couple of series during the Mon Nite game the DL was Wooten, Melton, Paea and McClellin.The play of the line didn't drop off when these not "old guys" were on the field. BTW 3 of those 4 guys I mentioned are JA picks and if you add in Tillman, DJ Moore and Briggs plus the aqusitions of Peppers ,Idonije,Jennings and Okoye(2011), JA didn't l…

Pretty impressive http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...2f-03827eaf1319

The Tribune has a good article on Jordan Howard and his offseason work. Most notable was the eye surgery and he now has 20/20 vision. I'll be curious to see if this helps his pass catching. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0613-story.html

I have to admitt, I would hit that.
