OK, I wasn't impressed. But as I've given myself a little time to think about it, it wasn't all bad. The O Line did hold up pretty well and there weren't a lot of penalties called in the game. Of course, I'm not sure KC is a pass rushing juggernaut either... The running game looked pretty good. Obviously we have some horses there and this will only improve when Jones is ready to go. Now, it sure would've been great if Jerry didn't draft a guy with a pre-existing back condition. Damn it. Still, we'll have to watch this situation develop. If the line can produce through the first half of the season and the kid really returns in 12 weeks, it might not be so bad …

I am watching the game again (man I love DVR) and a few things. - McGowan and Briggs are really standing out is poor angles and tackling. I want to write it off as 1st preseason game, but as this was such an issue last year, and something we were supposedly working so hard on in camp, it does concern me. One area McGowan is looking good. He is making a few really good plays in the backfield. So when he is going downhill, he is looking good. If he is not attacking the LOS though, he simply seems late and is taking bad angles. - Cut back running is killing us. I believe this is a problem of old for us. We are aggressive up front, and collapse the ar…

Nice article on last yrs picks. I think Okwo might be gone especially considering how Roach has looked. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...-bsep09.article Peace

I agree that Williams should go on the IR. We need to move forward for this yr. Better safe than sorry. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...-bear09.article Peace

They better not think they are going to be able to keep on the PS. He will have to be on the 53 man roster and I would want him over Simms. Peace http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/cs-08...0,3768131.story

never mind

Why, when Hanie was leading the Bears down for what would be an eventual FG by Robbie "Good as" Gould, did the mega brain trust of "Stomach" Turner & Co. decide to run up the middle when Hanie was hitting the mark for that drive and looked poised to score? Heck, he might have even had run for a first! Granted it's pre-season, but these guys do not have much legs to stand on. Their history shows a complete disregard for logic. I swear a 10 year old with Madden skills could have called a better play. I fear this will be long season...just with coaching alone.

- 1st string defense was embarassing. You don't let a crappy team like KC drive the ball down your throat. - Forte looked good. I think we will be happy with him. - Both Orton and Grossman just looked ok. I hope someone stands out next week. - Special team penalties killed us. - Wolfe re-enforced my belief he can be a very good 3rd down back. - Hanie locked up the 3rd string QB role in my opinion. I really liked his poise. - The offensive line actually did ok. I pray they do not bring back Fred Miller. I would rather have St Clair at LT. - Bennett should not be returning kickoffs or punts. Toub must be on crack. I will hav…

He looked great to me, anyone else agree/disagree? BTW, maybe he can teach rex and orton what stepping up in the pocket means.

looks like we need a mulligan on this game...

http://www.profootballtalk.com/category/rumor-mill/ CHRIS WILLIAMS OUT FOR THE YEAR? Posted by Mike Florio on August 7, 2008, 8:12 p.m. We’re hearing rumblings from reliable sources that Bears rookie offensive tackle Chris Williams, the No. 14 overall pick in the 2008 draft, is expected to miss the entire season with a back injury. Multiple teams were concerned about Williams’ health prior to the draft. Some were sufficiently concerned to take him off the board. As we hear it, Williams has aggravated a prior back injury, and most likely will be shut down. This development, if indeed accurate, will throw a mediocre Bears offensive line into disarray, …

Have to keep reminding myself, 1st preseason game, do not take it too serious, look at individual performances, not team success, it is just live practice, not to worry, not to worry, repeat after me, not to worry, LOL

I hope it's just jitters,etc... Because Babich will endure my fury all season long if this is what we're looking forward to...

im hopin this webiste works.....

I know it's just a preseason game but with so many questions (who looked better- Rex or Kyle?, how did Forte look?, how did Bradley look?, etc), I thought it'd be a good idea.
