I mean seriously, where is it? We continue to make guys like Griese and Frerotte look like Johnny Unitas. Too much talent on the d-line to look like this.

Well Gotta give Orton Props again, We needed him to have a great day passing the ball and he did. Forte had a descent game, coulda done btter, but I think it was more the scheme then his ability to run. ST won it for us straight out. With all the corners out on injury it was surprising that the secondary played so well. They did give up plays but for the most part they kept everything in front of them. Iam really pleased the way they came in this game. Game balls: 1. Orton 2. Offensive line 3. Special teams Game crappers: 1. Booker ( although he redeemed one drop in the end zone with a great play) 2. Defensive front 4 ( could n…

I know he's questionable but haven't heard any gameday update yet.

1. Hester gets a TD return, probably a KO. 2. Tommie Harris wakes up from his bible induced coma and has a monster game, like that of the Seatle Sunday Night Game in 06' Book IT!!!

Per Brad Biggs blog. Peace

Bears are wearing their orange jerseys Sunday and have requested the fans do the same. They want an Orange-out. I'll have my orange on!

INJURY REPORT AND IMPLICATIONS Minnesota Vikings (3-3) at Chicago Bears (3-3) By Michael Nudo Minnesota is 3-1 since Gus Frerotte took over at quarterback (AP Photo/Ann Heisenfelt). BEARS OFFENSEcolor> vs. VIKINGS DEFENSEcolor> Wide receiver Brandon Lloyd has missed the last two games with a knee injury. The Bears are not optimistic about Lloyd’s return for this week’s game, either. Devin Hester (11/153, TD) and Rashied Davis (10/138, TD) have played well during Lloyd’s missed time. Marty Booker has also made some big contributions. Running back Matt Forte has a mild thumb injury but isn’t expected to miss any time. Reserve guard Terrence Metcalf …

Orton 22-30, 234 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT Forte 21 carries, 87 yards, 5 catches, 34 yards, 1 receiving TD Olsen 4 catches, 38 yards, 1 TD Gould 3-4 on FGs. Bears win 23-17

The Bills traded DT John McCAargo to Indy for a 4th round pick--as per profootballtalk.com. This is significant since McCargo was the guy that Buffalo traded up with Chicago to get in 2006. The Bears gave up the 26th pick for the #42 & the #73 pick. We took Danieal Manning & Dusty Dvoracek. Buffalo would have been one helluva a lot better off standing pat and taking Dvoracek. Not to mention this trade gave us the flexibility to draft Devin Hester. 2006 was also the year that Bears fans were screaming for Angelo to try and trade up to draft Vernon Davis. So far Davis can't even succeed in a Mike Martz offense. I throw this up for 2 reasons:…

NFL suspended G Terrence Metcalf four games for violating the league's policy against steroids and related substances. Dan Buenning will now be forced to serve as Chicago's top backup inside. Charles Tillman had a sling on his left arm after Sunday's game. It's possible Tillman re-aggravated the shoulder injury that he suffered in Week 4. He'll be evaluated early this week. Bears reserve CB Trumaine McBride suffered a shoulder injury Sunday. Lovie Smith revealed after Sunday's loss that nickel back Daniel Manning has a pulled hamstring.

Zack is back: With all of the injuries at the position, it came as no surprise Tuesday when the Bears promoted rookie cornerback Zackary Bowman from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. Bowman was selected by the Bears in the fifth-round of the draft from Nebraska. He played in all four preseason games before being waived Sept. 2 during final cuts. He was then re-signed to the practice squad the following day. http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=5249 hes awesome on Madden 09, haha... Say goodbye to that jackass from Tampa, only thing he knows is how to spell Brandon LLoyds name by chasing him all day

He's now Jerry Jones' problem. Honestly, I'm happy he's out of our division. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3643295

Heading into the season, I think even Orton supporters had fairly low expectations. Well, a look at the numbers is a bit surprising. Orton has 198 passes, which ranks him 6th in the league. Far higher than I think most would have expected. Orton has a completion % of 61.6%, which is not great, but very solid. Even better, IMHO, is that he has been over 60% in 4 of his 6 games, and a 5th was 59.4%. He has 1,386 yards passing, which ranks him 8th in the league. His YPA stands at an even 7, which is not bad at all, particularly for a "game manager" which you would expect to be under 7. He has 8 TDs passes, which ties him for 8th in the league. An…

My new son was born today at 8:02am CST, 8 lbs 9 oz and 21.25 inches long. Mom and he are doing great, 10 fingers, 10 toes, and 3 legs.

They are gonna face an extremely pissed off Offense. And man how bad are they? 12 points against detroit? and the TD was a bomb and mistackle to Berrian, needed a last second field goal at home? Yikes

Just some quick listings of the guys who we tossed money at 1. Lance Briggs - $12M Guaranteed: Dominant 2.

Chris Williams - $9M Guaranteed: Hurt and hasnt stepped on an …

LOSERS: The Bears coaching staff The decision to squib the kickoff with 11 seconds remaining cost the Bears the game, plain and simple. What was with the soft zone in the secondary, allowing Michael Jenkins to catch a 26-yard pass to put Jason Elam in field-goal range? This is a team that could be 6-0 right now with some better coaching decisions. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=cr-w...o&type=lgns
