Ed Hochuli 3:16

That clinic netted them 7 points in the 2nd half. The first half was very impressive but like everything else, the NFL will figure this out.

Yeah, Jennings was awful. DL was a joke yesterday or is a joke? Because there are 25 teams who would likely trade their DL for this one. Just because they had a poor game doesn't make them a joke. To call out McClellin after a game where he had 4 tackles, 1 TFL and a sack makes you look foolish. If he does that every game, he ends the year with 64 tackles, 16 TFL and 16 sacks. Would that not be acceptable?

It was after Cutler's scramble in the 4th quarter, when Burfict hit him late and somehow didn't get a penalty.

I love Kyle Long. He had that push on the goal line that nearly got Forte in and was going crazy. He wanted to murder someone after Bennett's TD. And then this photo, which is after Cutler's scramble. BTW, he just tweeted it with some photoshop. Take a look.

Dude, reread my post. It starts with "amen." That means I agree with you.

FIRE 'EM ALL!

Amen. You guys are all so pathetic. This is evidence that Bears fans are the biggest meatheads in football. It makes me want to never come back to this site. Cutler throws a pick? He sucks. A timeout's wasted? Fire Trestman. Marshall gets targeted? What else is new. They're losing at half? They're going to have a top 5 pick. They just beat a good Cincinnati team and you would've thought they just lost to Jacksonville.

OMG TRADE CUTLER HE SUX!!!!!!1 THEY BURNED 2 TIMEOUTS TOO!!! FIRE TRESTMAN!!!!! You guys are unreal.

Have you ever seen Williams play? There's a reason he didn't get many calls in FA and signed for next to nothing.

The Ravens secondary is awful. Playing a Raiders bust instead of the very talented Matt Elam is a mistake. This is a rebuild on the fly; why not play a guy who has drawn comparisons to Ed Reed? Manning may be the greatest ever. If he gets another ring, I'd say that it assures it. I do disagree that the Ravens were lucky that year. Winning a ring takes luck, whether it's the Ravens last year or NYG sneaking in and somehow beating the 18-0 Patriots. The Colts were lucky to beat the Bears. Benson hurt himself, the D started missing tackles and the playcalling was horrendous.

Agree again. Wootton is the superior player but McClellin will get a lot of snaps. Personally, I believe in both.

Exactly. Maualuga is awful. Harrison's never played in a scheme like Cincinnati's. Burfict is a good player but his pass defense is nothing to write home about. Another guy that they can exploit is George Iloka. He's going to start at SS and was a 5th round pick in 2012. His inexperience can hurt the Bengals tomorrow.

The Bengals' pass rush is as good as it gets. Johnson, Dunlap, Atkins and Peko are a very good 4. I expect a lot of screens and quick slants. I expect Forte to touch the ball a lot. For Tucker's D, I expect a D that's better than last year. They looked FAST in preseason.

I'm not 100% sold on Emery quite yet. He talks a great game, and I mean that with respect. He really sounds like he has a clue. But, his draft last year is up in the year while this one seems like it could be a franchise changing draft, at least right now. -McClellin is shakey. -Jeffery looks decent. -Hardin stunk. -Rodriguez was awful and was cut by 2 teams already. -Frey looks OK. -McCoy was cut in August last year. Although, I do like what has done in FA. I was skeptical of the Bushrod move, not because I thought he stunk but because I thought Brees made him into what he is, but so far Bushrod has shown a bunch of talent. The Slauson move has gone under the radar as well. Also, I like how he's making no promises to no players and they all have to play their absolute best to get paid. It's a good problem to have. If Wootton, Cutler, Conte, Wright, Jennings, Slauson, and Melton are all studs this year, then that probably means you win a bunch of games and have a shot to win a ring. In the very least, this team will be HE AND TRESTMAN'S team next year. They will obviously have players left over from the Angelo/Lovie era, but a lot of them will be FA's that are brought back, meaning they liked them enough to be THEIR guys.

It saves the Bears $1m this year, per Brian McIntyre.

There are a bunch of guys who they'll need to keep. Conte, Wright, Jennings, Slauson, Wootton and more are players who could all have big seasons who may need to be retained.

This is leading up to Peppers being cut next year, and yes, someone getting paid.

Where was that when Russell Wilson was going up and down the field against his D last December?

Nope. I park relatively far from the stadium so it's a nice walk. I may get a hot dog or brat in the game.

FAAAAAART. Who cares? In 2006, 0/8 ESPN "experts" picked NO over the Bears.

Seattle? October?

Leave around 8:15, hangout around the stadium, go into game, watch a Bears win.

Webb wasn't liked by the team. Bushrod is. Webb stinks. Bushrod doesn't. Webb graded out the same as Bushrod did. It turns out that maybe Brees didn't make Bushrod. Bushrod has played well albeit in preseason games. Webb hasn't. The only reason Minnesota claimed Webb is to assist in preparing for week 2. Move on.

The Bengals are a damn good team. Green on O and Atkins on D is scary. Their LB corps isn't very good though. The Bears always play well week 1, it seems.

Marshall, Jeffery, M.Bennett and Forte is good enough. If E.Bennett is healthy, he's a bonus.
