http://bearingthenews.com/?p=589 Game Comments: Bears V. Seahawks, January 16, 2011 Posted on January 16, 2011 by Tom Shannon Defense • The Bears came out with lots of single coverage with nickel personnel. They did a good job doing, it, too. • A key to the defensive effort was the ability of the Bears to stop the run with seven in the box. • The Seahawks were doing a lot of things right. For instance, with the exception of a brief period in the second quarter, they were mixing it up well with some good play calls. • The Seahawk plan was obviously to attack the edges. They also came out and showed some good misdirection plays. As most fans know, sp…

The NFC is down to Green Bay and Chicago. The AFC is down to the Jets and Steelers. Two 2 vs 6 seed match-ups. That's the 2010-2011 NFL for you all.

http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=7501 Cutler has developed a friendly rivalry with Rodgers. While they’ve battled on the field, Cutler has helped Rodgers’ younger brother, a junior quarterback who transferred from a junior college to Vanderbilt. “He’s a guy who’s been great to my little brother,” Rodgers said prior to a Bears-Packers Monday night game in September. “As a big brother, it’s much appreciated the way he’s made my little brother feel comfortable down there and get the lay of the land down there in Nashville. “It’s only helped to strengthen our friendship. I pull for him 14 weeks out of the season, and hopefully he…

You know what? I check this site almost daily. But, I don't usually opine. But, all of this stuff I'm hearing about Cutler has me pissed. Did these guys watch a single game this year?? The dude was getting KILLED back there all year. He never quit, bitched or complained. The only time he left a game is when he was knocked silly behind some terrible line play. As bad as it may have appeared, we were only down two TD's, and they think he chose this time to quit? In the NFC Championship game? Gimme a freakin' break! Sorry to vent fellas.

Bears players contracts who will expire at the conclusion of the league year include Anthony Adams, Devin Aromashodu, Kahlil Bell, Josh Bullocks, Desmond Clark, Todd Collins, Rashied Davis, Corey Graham, Caleb Hanie, Brian Iwuh, Olin Kreutz, Danieal Manning, Brad Maynard, Nick Roach, Pisa Tinoisamoa, Edwin Williams, Rod Wilson and Garrett Wolfe. I think Todd Collins, Rod Wilson,Devin Aromashodu, Kahlil Bell, Josh Bullocks are gone

Thought some of you would find this amusing. This ball sells for about $80 normally, but with good ol Rexy's signature on it, it only sells for $20. Wilson Official NFL Football - The Duke $19.99 +SH Alright so I found this ball that normally sells on amazon for $79 [amazon.com] for $20 here [steinersports.com] the only downside is that Rex Grossman signed it so you will have to do a little work to clean it off or play with as is but it might make you throw more interceptions then you normally do. Flate rate shipping of $8.99 no matter how many you buy. Product Details The Chicago Bears selected quarterback Rex Grossman during the first roun…

with Free Agency. I tried searching on net for it and couldnt find anything. From what i can remember Free agency will not take place until an agreement is met. When is Free Agency suppose to start?

Does everybody have to agree on everything for a team to be successful ? When a football Org. re-evaluates it's self in off season does everybody really tell the truth ? Is there retribution if you stand up say " were going about this the wrong way " ? What I'm getting is at the Angelo and Co. think tank . Drafting heavy on defense ( seems forever ) is okay if your offense is well above par and you have good depth all around. But the problem is, there only maybe 3 offensive players on the Bears who could start on other teams. Two of those players you didn't draft. In comes the big shake up and Tim Ruskell ( Director of player personnel ) who's the spi…

Nice to see the Bears website put up a little tribute video of Dave Duerson. http://www.chicagobears.com/multimedia/mul...lip=Y&rn=13

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/...rget-for-bears/ Cullen Jenkins looks like a target for Bears Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on April 6, 2011, 11:18 AM EDT Getty ImagesThe Bears don’t have a lot of key free agents to re-sign when free agency hits. Defensive tackle Anthony Adams looks like a priority according to John Mullin of CSNChicago.com, but that’s practically it. While we don’t expect another Julius Peppers-type splash in free agency, the Bears have more work to do on the defensive line. Mullin believes the team will target Packers versatile defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins. “The Bears have their targets identified for whenever free ag…

I've seen several mention the hope that the Bears do not reach on draft day. This is especially true with the first round pick. Made me think of the following question: Would any of these guys be a reach? Tyron Smith Anthony Castonzo Nate Solder Mike Pouncey Gabe Carmini Derek Sherrod If the answer is yes, then it's a bit of surprise to me. But that's player evaluation for you. People disagree. If the answer is no, then there is no reason one of those guys shouldn't be available when the Bears pick. And the guy who they have rated the highest should be selected.

Sorry. I know this is for the football forum but in case you were under a rock, thought I would pass along that today is a big day in Chicago "other" sports. The Bulls and Pacers meet up to close out their series (yes I said close out) then Blackhawks meet the Canucks to HOPEFULLY advance.
