In his Monday Morning QB article which he runs every week, he gives his votes for the AP All Pro. He picks Cribbs over Hester for KR/PR. How the hell can he justify that??? 2. I think, as a sort of Fairness in Voting deal, I am going to list my ballot for the annual All-Pro Team that the Associated Press has 50 members do each year. The AP recommends we vote for a left and right tackle, strong and free safety, et cetera. My team, with comments where appropriate: Offense WR: Randy Moss, New England. T: Joe Thomas, Cleveland. Not that hard a pick. Played every snap, was better than Walter Jones, and was the biggest reason why a D-minus line in 2006 played li…

I just wanted to say that I am very impressed with the new site.

He got a little fired up when someone suggested the Bears bring another RB. Maybe this will light a fire under his arse. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...earnt01.article Peace

Ok, so I've been thinking about this for a while. Mark Anderson is obviously our best pure pass rusher, but Brown deserves more playing time as he is much better against the run, so I say, if Briggs leaves, we convert Anderson to a LB/DE hybrid, along the lines of Willie McGinest and Terrell Suggs. He's definitely got the speed and athleticism, and we all know he can tackle. I think the role would suit him well if he can learn to play some decent zone coverage and of course, he'd always be a threat when blitzing. Even if Briggs stays, we should think about this because it allows us to play our best players more in Brown at DE and then Anderson's threat to get to the…

I just found out the Shoopster is the OC for NC. Yeah, that would be the NC football team that went 4-8 this year. I know they aren't generally considered a football powerhouse or anything, I just wanted to let all the Shoop haters out there know bad things continue to happen to him.

Sorry if I'm late to the party on this one...but I just discovered if you make your reply to a topic ABOVE/BEFORE the "quote", your first snetence or so will be the "title" of your post! Again, if someone's already posted this, sorry. I'm just techinlogically slow and was away during the holidays. BTW - Happy new year everyone! May 2008 bring everyone health, weath and happiness!

Just wondering if we've seen the last of Lance Briggs?

Here's a list of things I got from '07 that need correction in '08. Please add your thoughts. I'm sure I missed quite a few. Ron Turner needs to be saying "Do you want fries with that?" at work rather than "Hand the ball to Benson". That being said, I'll take a change in philosophy first, from running team to passing team. If he proves he can't make sound game plans and calls...I'm making the slitting motion with my right hand, index finger pointed, against my throat... Bob Babich didn't put 5 of 11 starters on IR. He earned a pass from me for '07, but he needs to know the leash is as short as it is for the rest of the guys. There's no honeymoon here. Alex Brown has…

Question about Ced's contract. In the Suntimes today, it said the following: "The No. 4 pick in the 2005 draft, Benson lost out on a $1.73 million bonus -- considered part of the guaranteed money in his contract -- when he finished with 674 yards, 27 shy of the trigger. With 1,593 yards and 10 touchdowns in three seasons, he doesn't feel he needs to assert that he's the No. 1 back." Do we get that money back as credit to the salary cap (I would assume so since it was considered guarenteed)? What is his remaining contract (years and dollars)? Thanks Peace

From Rotoworld: Martz has always been a great offense guy. Would there be any shot at the Bears getting him? Would we want him? Did he and Lovie get along in STL?

I would have fired him too after being the only Team to lose to the Dolphins..

I think he is. No way, at his age, he should heal so fast from injuries and all of a sudden his career takes a big swing up. That stuff wouldn't naturally happen at his age IMO Oh, and I have absolutely no facts to back up my accusation.

In fact, Hawaii doesn't really belong on the same field as Georgia. Too bad to since I was really looking forward to this game.

I'm rather astounded there hasn't been more "love" for Adrian Peterson. AP is a complete back. He's a good receiver and he's a good blocker. He's also a "power runner" which is supposed to be ideal for Turner's system. He'd never be a pro-bowler, but he demonstrated that's he's easily the best running back on this team. While some are demanding that Orton should be the #1 QB next season, where's the love for AP? IMO AP should be named the #1 ASAP. The sad truth is, I don't see us bringing in anyone else. I'd love for us to dump Benson (today on the SCORE I heard him say that he wasn't going to do anything different this offseason . . . what a jack-ass.) There…

No change in coordinators in the offseason. Further, he said he sees Hester being a #1 receiver in the future. Peace

Raiders | Porter intends to void remainder of deal Mon, 31 Dec 2007 09:10:04 -0800 Steve Corkran, of the Bay Area News Group, reports Oakland Raiders WR Jerry Porter intends to void the remainder of his current deal and enter free agency. If this happends I would seriously consider offering him a big deal to land a top tier WR, who still has alot of good years left in him and can be a game changer.

With today's win, the Bears cannot draft higher than the 9th pick. Now the scary part is there are a ton of teams at 7-8. That means if the Bears beat NO next week, there is a chance they could plummet in the draft. Looking at Strength of Schedule which is the 2nd factor in draft position, the Bears could slide all the way to 17. Now realistically, some of the 7-8 teams will win, so the Bears will probably do no worse than 14 with a win next week. With a loss, the Bears will be guaranteed something in the range of 9-12. Kind of bittersweet, because you want your team to win, but also want a nice draft pick. Here are the current records and draft posit…
