Seems like the NFL players union this board has taken a dump. I know there is not anything to write about, But it seems like everytime I come here nobody is even browsing. Oh well, my 2 cents for the moment.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=Ag9c...o&type=lgns INDIANAPOLIS – Eyeing the free agent bloodbath on the horizon, Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo preached “sobriety in the marketplace” – the act of keeping your head, spending money wisely, and not corrupting prices in the NFL’s free agent period. “Because you have the money,” Angelo said, “doesn’t mean you have to spend all the money.” In a way, it sounded like a verbal white flag from the team most likely to get raided when free agency begins on Friday. Of all the years to allow talented free agents to get to the open market, Chicago gambled and stumbled upon the worst. A solid period …

In our last 4 games dating back to last year we are undefeated, 4-0. Are we getting spoiled? No turnovers for the Bears against Dallas was the key to victory.

According to Brad Biggs, Bears have signed Corbin Bryant--Northwestern--DT http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/playe...4/corbin-bryant Ricky Henry--Nebraska--OG http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/playe...0/richard-henry

Keith Randolph Jr., DT, Illinois Austin Reed, QB, Western Kentucky

When can they start accepting the offers from teams? Hopefully all will o and d line.....wouldn't surprise me if it's all cornerbacks

From Peter Kings Monday Morning QB - 10 things I think I think http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writ...3/Week12/4.html 9. I think we learned this about the Cardinals Sunday: They will never win a game at Giants Stadium in January if they have to play there. Come to think of it, what NFC team will challenge the Giants in the NFL Championship Game? I'll tell you the best team, and Cris Collinsworth agrees: Dallas. Number two for me: Chicago. Talk about respect from out of nowhere. I hope the team can live up to the "hype". *** Sorry about the triple post, my computer went a little nuts.

The 13 undrafted free agents who will participate in the minicamp are Northern Illinois running back Joel Bouagnon, Old Dominion defensive lineman Rashaad Coward, Minnesota linebacker Hendrick Ekpe, Wyoming receiver Tanner Gentry, Ball State tight end Franko House, San Jose State linebacker Isaiah Irving, Florida International offensive lineman Dieugot Joseph, James Madison offensive lineman Mitch Kirsch, Utah kicker Andy Phillips, Coastal Carolina linebacker Alex Scearce, Oklahoma State receiver Jhajuan Seales, Florida State fullback Freddie Stevenson and Florida State receiver Levonte Whitfield. Gentry,Stevenson, Seales and Whitfieldare my favorites to make the team.

How about we send Cutler to Cincinatti for Palmer and their first round pick (number 4 overall)? Then we draft AJ Green at #4. Palmer won't play for Cincinatti anymore--he said he'd retire before he played there again. He could be posturing, but who knows. Cincinatti is thought to be looking for a qb at #4. In my opinion, Cutler doesn't have the accuracy or decision-making needed to get our team a Lombardi. I don't know that Palmer does either, but I think Palmer's strengths (timing throws, accuracy, decision-making) mesh with Martz's system better than Cutler's strengths (cannon arm, mobility). I'd take my chances with Palmer, a new o-line and a Andre Jo…

Every year it amazes me how many rookies go unsigned into camp, and sometimes into the season. Looking at this year's list, there were a bunch of players that could've ended up on the Bears. Guys like Blackmon (if we traded up), Kendall Wright, DeCastro, and Poe from the first round come to mind. Some others like DeVier Posey and Trumaine Johnson from later rounds are also unsigned. What could you possibly be holding out for? You are basically slotted, and unless the team is under-cutting the slot, these should be easy deals. I love that fact that the Bears are great at getting rookie players to sign, sometimes the entire rookie class signs before some other…

1. Evan Rodriquez. Did a great job blocking. Didn't look like a rookie. Not sure if we'll miss Clutts if he keeps this up and continues to get better. 2. Kyle Adams. One grab. Big grab. Make the most of your opportunities! 3. Wootten. The Favre killer punched one loose from Luck. One of the lone bright spots in the pass rush. We need more of this Corey! 4. Podlesh. Good kicks. 5. Gould. Is it fair not to give him props when all he does is just make kicks? Robbie rocks. 6. JT Thomas. great special teams play! This guy wants it! Love watching him play! If these guys and others keep it up...their efforts will be a huge part of our overall …

WR Vincent Jackson - instantly becomes best threat in passing game, hurt alot and disappears Pierre Garcon - seems like a headcase.Isnt a #1 but certainly seems to think he is. Head and shoulders above our current scrubs Marques Colston - definitely available and becomes best threat in passing game, always hurt Stevie Johnson - I still think he wont sign or get tagged OL Levi Brown - 28, instant upgrade (not saying much tho) Ben Grubbs - 28, instantly best OG Carl Nicks - not interested for that cash (can anyone find the post where i kept saying just draft this guy cuz he was enormous) I think given the list above and…

Passing: Cutler needs 25 TD passes to pass Sid Luckman to have all the Bears all-time Passing records. During the Carolina game, Cutler (63rd) passed Bob Griese, Ken O'Brien, and Joe Theismann on the all-time yardage list. In the next few weeks he will pass Jeff Garcia, Jim Plunkett, and Jim Harbaugh. By the end of the season he will be close to 50th all-time in passing yards. Rodgers has 120 passing yards than Cutler. With 3 more passing TDs, Cutler will pass Kitna for 61st on the all-time list. He should break into the top 50 by the end of the year. With 38 more completions he will pass Ron Jaworksi for 54th on the list and will move into the top 50 in compl…

I think Baldwin and Harrison played good games. Toeaina and Graham also J.Williams. Its going to be tuff to left some of these players go. But who do you think that will get the cuts first when we go down to 75?

The ones that come to the top of my head are: Grossman Briggs Berrian Rueben Brown Mike Brown? Heres some guys Ive heard people discussing cutting, whether is feasible or not: Moose Walker Bradley Archuleta Miller Then Tommie is a F/A after next season obviously... Who do we keep and who do we let go? Who on the current roster would you like to see stay a Bear?

I was searching for the list of upcoming free agents and figured I would post some of the interesting ones I found: QBs: Garcia, Cassell, Orton, Grossman, Losman, Warner RBs: Jacobs, Arrington, Buckhalter, Sproles, R. Williams WRs: Evans (not sure is he still is), Houshmazoo, Engram, Gaffney, Henderson, Toomer OL: Birk, Columbo, Goff, Gross, Tauscher, Kendall, McKiney, Tra Thomas DL: Peppers (again, not sure), Haynesworth, Suggs, Tank LBs: Barton, Dansby, Ray Lewis, Mike Peterson, Bartt Scott, Vilma, Farrior DBs: Asomugha, Mike Brown, Dawkins, Gamble, Dawan Landry, Dunta Robinson, Sharper Link

If there was ever a time to get on a hot streak, it's now. With the news of Brees' injury, I would be shocked if he was back in 5 weeks for our game. They have a Week 9 Bye, so it would make sense to target his return no earlier than Week 10. That makes our next 7 games extremely favorable. Week 3 - at Washington (Win, Guice out, bad defense) Week 4 - vs Minnesota (Win, Cousins looks worse than Trubisky, outside of Cook, offense not doing too much) Week 5 - at Oakland (in London, Win, Mack will singlehandedly win this game for us) Week 6 - Bye Week 7 - vs New Orleans (w/o Brees, at home, Win) Week 8 - vs Los Angeles Chargers (LAC not a good road team, Win…
