I've been watching since the mid-70s and you know what? The Bears are just a bad organization. Has anyone ever gotten so much mileage out of one SB win as the Bears? What a complete joke the McCaskey family is. If they had any decency they'd sell the team to someone who actually gives a shit.

I hear the packers are planning to retire cutler's number in a ceremony. I hope he gets a chance to stick around for that.

Wish Virginia would just sell this team to someone who gives a shit.

Wish in one hand and shit in the other. See which one fills up first. Don't expect any miraculous turnarounds from Cutler or the offensive wizard who called 2 run plays to Matt Forte in the 1st half. Like the Trib said, he's losing this team.

I'm starting to understand why he never got a head coaching job in the NFL.

Ditto. Trestman didn't throw the pick, dickhead did.

POE or over emphasis?

New D looks a lot like the old D

Whitworth is out for bengals. Go Julius go...

I'm glad the Bears get the Bengals in week 1, should give us a good idea of where they stack up. The Dalton gang is going to provide a stiff test, and Vegas has it close across the board with Bears -3. My opinion can't be trusted since it's heavily colored by bias at this time of the season, when everything is possible, but I believe the Bears pull away in the 4th quarter and win by double digits. I think Bears special teams have been overlooked and I truly think Hester is going to return to form, forcing short-field situations and putting constant pressure on opposing defenses. I also think Jefferey is going to have a break-out season, which means Marshall should get some great looks as the season progresses. It's the ideal scenario for the Bears...if a D tries to take away one of those guys, the other is left in single coverage. Barring injury, Matt Forte becomes the X factor. Put 8 in the box and Marshall/Jeffrey will smoke you, if not, Matt will run behind the re-tooled line and eat up the clock. My only question is whether the Bears are buying into the talent they have. They have every reason to question themselves after last season's collapse, but I think they can compete with most teams in the league. SF and SEA are clearly in a different class to start the season. Let's get the party started.

I'll take any offensive linemen. Any. Just end this already, Emery.

As the season is unravelling, I believe what Mr. Urlacher is doing is known as "piling on." Always a plus when it comes from your team captain. If you think it's ugly now, Brian, just wait and see if your boys lay an egg in Phoenix and Detroit.

If the experts are to be believed, there's not much point in watching this game. Bears don't stand a chance. As far as I"m concerned, this game is all about Lovie Smith and his ability to lead a depleted to a must-win victory. The fact that he chose to do a walk-thru instead of have a full practice on Wednesday better pay dividends. I'm sick and tired of losing to the freakin packers, and this bears team should be too. Especially cutler.

screw McKenzie. Licht and Raye are both solid candidates.

Carimii is not a LT. Scouts projected him as a good run blocker and Tice has even said as much. Leave him at RT and hope that his knee, which many had red-flagged going into the draft, doesn't come back to haunt us.
