Hey Guys and gals, Happy Thanksgiving next week ! Sorry, I"ve been busy and I have had no time to chirp in and shoot some comments. I do have some questions on the playoffs regarding placement. If the playoffs started today who would we play and where ? Do we play the other wild card team or play a division leader ? And do we have a preference ?

IMHO we should look at the Bengals running backs DeDe Dorsey and Brian Leonard because they will be sweating out the final hours before the roster cutdown deadline, and either one of them is a good fit for the Bears. I like Leonard because he runs like a truck!!

One year deal

GB is 3-4 lol. This has been a great season for the Packers losing and looking like crap. Now a loss to Washington. I wonder if Rodgers will get any crap? He had 146 yds passing before the garage time prevent defense allowed 50 yds passing. His 2 TDs were to a RB, so technically going into the last drive he had 93 passing yds to WRs and TEs and ended with 141 yds passing to non-RBs. He had 4 more passing yards than Fields, but Fields had 88 rushing yards to his 0. Where is the media outrage? GB's last 5 games, 3 straight losses, a 3 pt win against NE, and a 2 pt win against TB.

Have no clue on him.

The Bears really got the shaft in terms of SoS this year. The NFC North in general got both East divisions which don't have a team with a losing record. So that is 8 games against winning teams, then the Bears have 2x MIN and played SF. So 11 games against winning teams, and 4 of the non-winning games are against GB and DET. That leaves ATL and HOU as the last two games. I still can't believe the Bears lost to ATL. After the next two weeks, the Bears will have played the top 4 teams in terms of DVOA, PHI, BUF, SF, and DAL. Talk about bad luck. At least the Bears get the NFC South next year. That is the only division without a team with a winning record. They al…

Brad Biggs is reporting via Twitter that Kevin Jones has officially been released.

So my brother scored some tix to the Bears/Vikings game in Nov. Now the question is...where the heck can we tailgate?? I see that there are passes on sale on Ebay but holy smokes they want a pretty penny for those lots now! isnt there a lot off of I-80 by McCormick place that you can pay as you get there??? Any other suggestions other than underground? thanks!

A lot of you hate doing this when the schedule is released because teams improved a lot through the draft and FA, so now that it's all over with, here I go.. FALCONS WIN ---I think this is a toss up, but hey, it's a home game and the Bears have a great D while Atlanta does not. @ Saints LOSS ---This is tough, but I think the Saints will come out on top. Better offense, period. PACKERS WIN ---Another tough won, but the Bears and Pack always play each other tough recently. I give the edge to the Bears because it's at home. PANTHERS WIN ---Whether it's Clausen or Newton, the Bears are the better team. @ Lions LOSS ---I firmly stand by my statement that…

Just a dumb mans opinion. Offense- D No where do I see anything that I can hang my hat on going forward. QB play has been at best below average. One good quarter and the rest below average. I don't care about stats or other such things. The eye test is just sad. Neither Mitch nor Daniels look like they can lead a team to the playoffs or a long run once they get there. Being a game manager is just not good enough today. Sometimes you have to put the game on the QB and expect him to win the game. I have no faith in either of them doing that. The off. line is just horrible. Nothing more to say about the run game or passing game it all starts with the OL pla…

Danny Trevathan has become my favorite players on the team, alongside Mack and Hicks of course. His silent leadership quality paired with his overall being a good man and player gives me confidence if anyone is going to will this team to do better it’s going to be because of someone like Trevathan. In my opinion, he should be a ‘Bear for life’. https://www.chicagobears.com/video/player-profile-danny-trevathan-x2579

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/...for-matt-forte/ MRI confirms knee sprain for Matt Forte Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on December 5, 2011, 11:15 AM EST AP An MRI confirmed Monday that Bears running back Matt Forte isn’t out for the season. He will be out at least a few weeks, and it’s worth wondering where the Bears will stand in the playoff race when Forte is able to play again. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Forte has a grade 2 MCL sprain. There was no damage to his ACL. He could be out anywhere from 2-6 weeks according to ESPN’s Trey Wingo. Forte has to be breathing a sigh of relief. We wouldn’t blame him one bit if he didn…

It looks like the Bears created enough cap space for operating during the season after restructuring Jaylon Johnson's contract (saved $8M on this year's cap). However, I don't think there is room to add any big ticket guys like Zadarius Smith. At most it will be a vet minimum guy that doesn't impact the cap.
