I view Kromer as a straightforward guy who won't spin things. It was nice to hear him discuss the talent level of the offense and the improvement from last year to this year. He's not discussing the starters rather the depth on the roster specifically the Oline depth and TE options we have on the roster. http://www.chicagobears.com/multimedia/vid...27-f4c0766bf86e

It seems each day we find more positive articles on the Bears' Dline. This one is about our so-called NASCAR package. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...ml#.U-OKRlY8icM I'm optimistic we'll be able to generate some pass rush this season. What's nice to hear are the compliments of Houston's abilities. Behind him we are hearing good things about how well Sutton is picking things up. Ratliff has made his presence known as well in drills and we know what Jared Allen brings to the table on each play. This article focused on the 3 DE's with Ratliff as the pass rush package but if Sutton continues to progress I'm not sure we also couldn't go with S…

What I saw on defense is my biggest concern and that was confusion. The secondary even the LB's looked confused. Is this constant flip flopping with the safeties and LB's really doing any good ? By the third preseason game, shouldn't you know who your starters are ? " jack of all trades and master of none " is what I'm seeing here. Other teams will see this and use the no huddle and to compound this problem. I know they didn't scheme because they wanted to see "mano e mano " to evaluate each player. Well ... they got it and it didn't look so good. Starting with the 1st stringers: defensive DT's had couple of good plays but mostly were either man h…

For those looking to get all the Bears games but don't care if you can't watch them live. I just got NFL Game Rewind (works on computers/tablets/phones) and it is awesome. I am actually impressed and it is much better than the NFL Sunday Ticket stream I had last year. Some pretty neat features (Condensed games, Coaches film, archived games, slow mo, etc). Archived games go all the way back to 2009 and you can watch SB games as well. I just watched the GB game from last year. That Boykin TD is still BS in my opinion, that should've been blown dead. For those interested: www.nfl.com/gamerewind Promo code: REP15 I did the $39.99 plan, and go…

According to the Chicago Tribune, Eben Britton was cut. Surprising that they would considering he played well last year.

In another post, I mentioned how I felt unsettled over the way last season ended and this began. I know why now. Our identity is offense while the defense retools. Problem is, the 2 people at the forefront of the offense are knuckleheads.(Trestman and Cutler) Both made bonehead decisions that compromised our ability to win. After that, we still had a chance to win in OT and our dynamic duo could not come through. This does not bode well for a the confidence of our defense. Blood is in the water boys and fins are present. This week is going to be huge. I don't expect to go in and win at SF, but we will need to be competitive to start building trust and confi…

I imagine if Defense gives up two scores Jeffery will exit

Two Oline from last week both WR's banged up Tillman Conte Ratiliff Anyone else im missing? I cant take another year like last. Please get these guys healthy!!!!

I noticed Christian Jones playing in the 2nd half but never saw any report on Bostic. I see now he injured his back. Hopefully this isn't a long term issue because he was starting to play well. http://voices.suntimes.com/sports/bears-li...ss-to-panthers/

I was looking something else up, and this came to mind. When was the last season the Bears had 10 or more losses, and how that compared to other teams? It has been 10 years since our last really bad losing season. Only the Patriots, Steelers, and Chargers have had a longer run. 1. Patriots - 2000 (3-2) - Brady 2. Steelers - 2003 (3-2) - Big Ben 2t. Chargers - 2003 (4-1) - Rivers/Brees 4. Bears - 2004 (2-3) - Cutler/Orton/Grossman/Griese 4t. Giants - 2004 (3-2) - Manning 6. Saints - 2005 (2-3) - Brees 7. Ravens - 2007 (3-2) - Flacco 8. Packers - 2008 (3-2) - Rodgers Besides the Chargers who essentially replaced a great QB with another, we are …
