Jay looked pretty good, amazing to see such a mobile QB able to move around the pocket or roll-out and give himself time to make plays downfield. To think how much better he will be once he learns the offense. I would not be surprised if Miami keeps Cutler and ditches Tannehill eventually. He had a couple of crazy throws but the defense had to respect the pass, allowing Ajayi to rack up yards on the ground.

Saints “making a push” for free agent Ben Grubbs Brandon Meriweather will visit Redskins on Wednesday visited the Denver Broncos on Tuesday night, but it appears he’ll be leaving the Mile High City without a deal in place. Brandon Lloyd en route to Bay Area for visit with 49ers Jaguars keep Jeremy Mincey in fold with four-year pact Mincey drew interest on Tuesday from the Chicago Bears, and the Cleveland Browns at one point were said to be making a run at him Chargers sign Meachem to four-year, $25.9 million contract

The 127 pick overall . . . I like Paea. I hope it's worth giving up a 4th to go up 8 spots. We must not like the 4th round very much. We seem determined to get out of it. Either that or we plan on trading down our 3rd to get back in it (that seems more likely) I can't believe we'd have taken Paea if the Chiefs had drafted Carimi. Weird. Weird, weird, weird.

This dude would fit right in kicking in Chicago in the winter. I don't think we can wait to draft him in the 7th or pick him up as a UDFA. We do not have a 6th rounder so is he a worthy 5th round pick (#162)?

Both CAR and PHI lost, which puts both of them at 6-7. So the only teams ahead of the Bears for WC2 are the Rams and Vikings. The Rams are beating the Cardinals early and the Vikings play in Seattle on MNF. If Seattle can beat Minnesota tomorrow night, we would essentially be 1 game back with 3 to play (before our head to head....which is a must win). All we need to do is beat the Vikings in Week 17 and come into the game no more than 1 game back. If Seattle wins, this scenario is definitely possible.

After both retired, Tunney asked Butkus about his zest for violence. " I always called him Richard. I asked him, ‘Richard, did you ever intentionally try to hurt somebody?’ “He said, ‘Nah, not unless it was in a game or something.’” From a story https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2019/12/12/21005035/fumble-pile-violence-nfl-stories Why I love watching football. Always viewed it as contact ballet. It's the grace of a WR or a running back. An OF line or DF player on one hand wanting to pile drive the other yet be so graceful as to just make them pound air. Such a violent yet graceful game. And then you add the chess like strategy.

As of today, it looks like there are only a couple of "starting" positions that need to be settled. Looking at the offense, RG seems like the only position where there is not someone locked in at least for now. The WR room still looks like it could use one more veteran to add to the competition with Jones, Newsome, and Moore. The RB room is a strength and the TE room has enough. So outside of RG, maybe LT if Borom struggles, and another WR. Is there anything else they can do to improve in post-draft FA?

Link Melton would take $8.450 to keep.

Finally made it through the weather. Interesting note at the end of the article - Pace not expected to dress. Who is the swing tackle then - the kid from BC they just promoted from the practice squad? http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,7758820.story Peace

The trading deadline is on October 29th and the Bears have some tough decisions to make. They are 3-3 and I think the outcome of the Chargers game will determine which way they go at the deadline. They obviously have some needs and I could actually see them as buyers and sellers even if they win. If they lose, you have to think fire sale and clean up the cap while recouping picks. Right now they have a few candidates to be cut in the offseason to save money for next year. Those guys include Amukamara, Davis, Gabriel, Patterson, and Shaheen. They also have others who would become FA's in the offseason: Daniel, Sowell, RRH, Trevathan, Kwiatkoski, Lynch, and HHCD. …

Not starting a rumor...just wondering if anyone here thinks the Bears could take interest. JJ is a young, good corner with ball hawk skills. Anyone out there think we could make a play?

This is from Aaron Leming who has broke several stories before the mainstream media. So his theories carry a little more weight than others. https://twitter.com/AaronLemingNFL/status/574363450983387137

That would be a great start to this year after already locking up Royal, Pernell, royal and Rolle!

Four time last to first. Home game, I don't care who we are playing. And I don't remember the last game we had. Well I kinda do and it really sucked. But I think this team can beat anyone when all cylinders are hitting. It's gonna be tough but we can beat any team any where it they are. DaBears!!!

Bears release DE Charles Grant Oct 19 10/19/2010 12:08:55 PM | More Vaughn McClure of the Chicago Tribune reports the Bears have released defensive lineman Charles Grant, according to a league source. Grant joined the team on a one-year deal after the Bears terminated the contract of defensive end Mark Anderson. Grant was expected to contribute as an edge rusher but was inactive for the two games he was on the Bears' roster. Now the Bears have a roster spot open, and it is unclear if they will made a trade before Tuesday's deadline -------------------------------------------- Bears unlikely to swing a deal for Logan Mankins Oct…

Totally jacked up right now...
