For those of you who were concerned there wasn't going to be a competition. Webb was demoted after his poor performance in training camp and the preseason opener. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,2978879.story

Was watching the replay this morning and heard this too. Could've swore it sounded like Jay was expressing his displeasure. Or was it that little Harry Potter looking troll that is always following him around when the O is off the field? Either way I feel Martz' days are numbered in Chicago. http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/89782...day-night-video

Just curious. I feel it nearly serves as evidence in the boating case, proving a pattern of poor judgement, but I'm curious to see what others think. Has it changed your opinion?

I'll update this every week. My Bears mock: **Trade our 1st to whatever team for their 2nd and a 3rd** 2. Herman Johnson, OG, LSU 2. Cullen Harper, QB, Clemson 3. Larry English, DE, Northern Illinois 3. Derek Pegues, S, Mississippi State 3. (COMP FOR BERRIAN) Max Unger, OT/C, Oregon 4. BJ Raji, DT, Boston College 5. Derrick Williams, WR, Penn State 6. Steve Rehring, OG, Ohio State 7. Worrell Williams, LB, California

Not saying we do in fact sign a vet but if we did who would you want? I personally want Jones. Sure he's comming off an injury, but with the right structured contract he could be had for a bargain. I like alexander and jordan, but fear that Turner would use them like he used benson. In on mostly running plays and a very minimum passing plays. This is what makes us so darn predictable. K. Jones would keep the opposing defense guessing, cause he's more rounded and accomplished at the passing game than alexander and jordan. If healthy I view a K jones and M Forte 1-2 punch much more powerful than what we had with TJ and Bumsen. Remember: Jones did break our streak of…

during preseason? I loved the guy for 4 years but hes just going thru the motions anymore.. its a a shame.....

Just a joke (mostly), but in truth an all Florida State draft would address a lot of holes on this team and isn't too unrealistic, I don't think: *Trade down in first and 5th for extra 3 & 4 1) Timmy Jernigan, DT 2) Terrence Brooks, S 3) Lamarcus Joyner, CB 3) Christian Jones, LB 4) Devonte Freeman, RB 4) Telvin Smith, LB 6) Bryan Stork, C/G 6) Kenny Shaw, WR Any other "one college" drafts that would work?

referring to an 8-8 season, losing 5 out of 6 games to end the season and missing the playoffs 4 out of the last 5 YEARS!! yea, who wouldn't want to to keep as many players and coaches together after that exemplary record?

For all the fans that the sky is falling, get your thumb out of your mouth and be real. The fact is were not a good team or a bad team. I thought from the beginning of the season we would be 7-9 to 9-7 and looking bad against the Packers havent changed that . Injuries have already affected us. Brandon Marshall is the catalyst to this offense, and until he is healthy we will sputter. Two OL out, the others have filled in well. Two DL out which has caused a lack of pass rush which put our DBs in jeopardy. We have filled Peanuts role but where the problem now is the nickelback spot . Our offense will give us victories and defense will take some away. I…

With all the discussion lately around BPA vs. needs I'm curious to see what everyone views our top needs are heading into the draft. I tried to include all positions so this can be as objective as possible. In other words ILB is still listed even though we just spent $10mil to fix it. Even though I listed top 3 needs, if we get enough people to vote then from a statistics view point we should we will be able to identify and rank our top 5 needs. To do that I'll give every 1st place vote 10 points, every 2nd place vote 5 points, and every 3rd place 3 points.

http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/chicago-bears/cap-hit/ Kellen Davis - 3.5 - GONE Bush - 3.5 - GONE Spaeth - 2.0 - GONE ______________________________________ Tillman - 8.0 - Long term, cut in Half Peppers - 16 - No idea... Marshall - 9.0 - Extension/BONUS

Appear to be steals. Harrison was a beast all night. I think Dusty should be worried that he may end up losing serious playing time. You can't make the team from the tub. Davis is a freak. He has all the tools and could end up being our best TE in the future. Peace

going to the giants in all probability for those in this guys corner.

Pompei thinks Webb has the pole position at LT for next year. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...,2610849.column I agree.

#5 Utah vs #23 Cal I believe college Game day is in Utah, should be lots of media hype. Big stage, pressure packed game against the highest ranked Pac 12 team. Lets see if Goff can handle it. Utah is suppose to have a pretty good defense too. If he plays lights out the media buzz around him is only going to get bigger.

Forte now has over 8,000 rushing yards and 11,931 yards from scrimmage. The 8,071 rushing yards puts him in 48th all-time only 3 yards behind Freeman McNeil and 10 yards behind Larry Csonka. In the next few games he should also pass the likes of Maurice Jones-Drew, Priest Holmes, Gerald Riggs, Roger Craig, Herschel Walker, and Earnest Byner (some pretty good company already). Additionally, he is now in 59th for yards from scrimmage with 11,931 and nearing 12k. In this game he passed Don Maynard and Michael Irvin and is now only 10 yards behind Clinton Portis for 58th. Cutler is now 41st all-time in completions, passing Y.A. Tittle, Randall Cunningham, and Sonny Ju…

I have seen many areas called out, but to me, more than any other key, we are simply losing the battle of the trenches. Offense Atlanta is not a great run defense, but we made them look pretty dang good. Prior to playing us, Grant (GB) hit them for 83 yards, and Grant has sucked this year. Carolina tag teamed them w/ Williams and Stewart for about 110. Larry Johnson, who has looked old and tired, racked up 121, and even Jamal Charles got into the action for another 40. TB ran all over them too w/ Graham (116) and Dunn (50). Then we face them, and we watch Forte getting hit early and often in the backfield. He ended up getting 76 yards on 20 carries, but t…
