The other question is why they never realized he couldn't block or catch a pass before having to resign him.

They're not going to have him go into a season with a 1 year contract next year since he could get lucky, win, and then be a free agent coach that would take >$10 mil a year to replace. Either he's going to earn a contract extension or this is the time when he will be let go; because he's cheap to replace.

Don't the broncos run a 3-4 with Dumerville and Miller as 3-4 OLB's?

It all depends on where this season ends.

That was not an auspicious 25 first minutes.

Kevin Seifert and some scouts takes on Carimi.

(I just figured if Kreutz was there, he'd do the mauling of Allen himself, rendering Webb a spectator).

(Just not sure why he's the one getting that education)

Fined $21k.

A couple more wins and the Bears have a playoff spot.

Mr. Webb?

Trib also says he might be able to play through it.

Why do teams throw passes to fullbacks and defensive linemen who substitute in as eligible receivers in the red zone? Because the defense isn't expecting it. On a designed rollout (you mean those are legal? I'd never have guessed watching the Bears this season) you're running away from 1/2 of the pass rush so the need for a TE block is lessened, Marshall is in front of him to draw the coverage, so you've set yourself up with a clear line of sight throw to a single-covered TE in the end zone.

Is this the full season IR or the IR with an option to return?

Really, let's be honest...in the NFC, there isnt' going to be a team in the playoffs that isn't scary. The 5 teams that should be there are the Giants, Bears, 49ers, Falcons, and Packers, and then the Wild Card goes to whichever team gets hottest at the end. There's pretty much no easy road through this. If a team wants to make the Super Bowl from the NFC, they're going to have to go through 2 of those teams. Frankly, I'm just going to enjoy the show.

Well done.

I kept saying the same thing until the last game last year, where Allen absolutely destroyed Webb and had like 5 sacks or something.

This night game is going well for the Bears.

Is there a significant cap hit/savings if he's cut this offseason?

Link. Seahawks are @ Chicago next Sunday.

Marshall is first Bear receiver over 1000 yards since Booker, if I heard that correctly.

There shouldn't be a single play where only 1 player faces up with Allen. He ought to at least face a chip on every play, if not outright double team.

Percy Harvin didn't practice, not expected to play against Bears.

Shea has been fully cleared to play on Sunday.

It's no trick, he has one last batch of tests he must pass. So far, he's "looking good" according to Lovie and they're expecting him to be ready to pass the final test battery tomorrow.
