Was the drive at the end engineered by Orton. Outstanding. I was hoping he would break through with a game ending drive. Can't blame him for the loss. He looks like our starter for years to come. Peace

Everyone is saying that the clock didn't start running until after Matt Ryan threw the ball. The comcast guys are saying the clock didn't show up on the last play either. Something smells fishy.

Man that HURT. What happened? 1. Our defense couldn't stop 3rd and longs. 2. Our OLine sucks when rushing (but are ok in pass protection). 3. We didn't use our TEs enough in the first half. 4. Not much pressure on defense, even when blitzing. 5. Special Teams coverage and the damn squib kick at the end.

Matt Forte is a workhorse. He proved it at Tulane and he's proving it for the Bears. Forte is a fantasy owner's dream. He is a true feature back and doesn't come off the field in short-yardage or third-down situations. Forte has appeared on the injury report just once in the first five weeks. He was listed as probable in Week 2 with "ankle soreness." But since the Bears' season opener, Forte's yards-per-carry average has dropped sharply. On his last 61 totes, Forte holds a Cedric Benson-like 2.7 YPC. In Forte's last two games, he's mustered only 2.3 yards a carry. And in one of those contests he was going against the Lions. As a senior for the 4-8 Green Wave, Fo…

Endurance is strength of rookie RB Forte The Sun-Times has an interesting article stating an argument that Forte's decline in running yardage is simply not using him enough. I am not sure I agree, as I applaud Turner for turning to the air when defenses stack the box, but it does seem to have some legitimate points. I was wondering what your thoughts are on this article?

He has stepped up and is definately our #3 now. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...-bear10.article Peace

INJURY REPORT AND IMPLICATIONS Chicago Bears (3-2) at Atlanta Falcons (3-2) By Michael Nudo Michael Turner presents a big challenge to the Bears defense (AP Photo/Rick Havner). BEARS OFFENSEcolor> vs. FALCONS DEFENSEcolor> The Bears are pleased with the progress of rookie offensive tackle Chris Williams’ recovery from a back injury. John St. Clair has started at the left tackle position Williams was penciled in at before he got hurt. St. Clair has played just well enough to not be a problem. He draws John Abraham this week, who leads the league with 7 sacks. Devin Hester (ribs) should be at a point where his injury should be a minor factor in his p…

Monday, 12:33 p.m. The Bears terminated the contract of guard Tyler Reed this afternoon. Although he was in the running for a spot on the 53-man roster during training camp down in Bourbonnais, Reed hasn't been able to elevate himself off the practice squad in three years as a pro. Reed was originally a sixth-round selection of the Bears out of Penn State in the 2006 NFL Draft.

Thank you Saints I sat down to watch this at halftime and NO did absolutely everything I wanted them to do since that moment.

Williams' Bear Debut May Be Near According to an article in the Chicago Sun-Times we may see Williams on the field a lot sooner than many of us thought. Now I see why they kept him on the roster. I doubt we see him as a starter until after our bye week but according to the article we might see him test the waters a few snaps before the bye.

* Orton looked solid and seems to be showing growth. Nice to see after we watched Grossman regress. Let's hope this continues. * My condolences to the "internet football experts" on the site. I know how much happier you all are when the Bears lose. * Atlanta and Minneapolis next. It makes tonight's game all that much more interesting. Both are games the Bears can win but we're going on the road to Atlanta. * Peanut has made amends for his brain-fart that cost us a game. Way to man up, Nut! * Booker's catch was one for the highlight films. Outstanding. And I have to admit, I wasn't a fan of bringing him back. Glad the Bears GM and coaching…

unless we beat Atlanta which had a very good game in Lamblow today. We need to come home 4-2 (stack those wins as Jauron would say ). Peace

- The block by Beekman on Forte's TD run - a thing of beauty. Beekman has really suprised me. - The swing pass to Olsen that broke for about 25 yds. Great play call and execution. - The catch by Booker. Best I have seen by a Bears receiver in yrs. - The sideline pass by Orton to Davis for 34. May be the best pass that Orton has thrown this yr. - LaRocque getting a special teams tackle (I think his 1st as a Bear). Welcome to the NFL kid. Kudos to the entire team for an outstanding job of executing today. Here's hoping Nick Roach injury is not going to keep him out long. Peace
