The only preseason game that means a damn is #3. It is the only one that they play the starters a significant amount of snaps and the only one they actually set up game plans for I believe. I am not even concerned if we win #3 as long as we are leading at the time our starters exit. I hope the NFL is successful in trimming the preseason games to 2 and extending the regular season from 16 to 18 games. That would kick ass. These guys do not need 4 preseason games, IMHO.

Holding out Forte & Olsen was smart, bad turf in Buffalo, take no chances. It definitely hurt our Offense. Holding out Harris and missing Bowman, Manning & Tillman was also smart and necessary but hurt our defense a lot. I am disappointed in last nights game like every Bears' Fan, but I personally am not worried at this point.

You know, I have read some comments left on articles at different sites and have come across a lot of very obnoxious Denver fans saying they were happy to get rid of the #### Cutler and felt the team would be better off with Orton. I do not feel bad for them at all.

It is because of dumb ass articles like this that I NEVER go to PFT.

That will be fine with me also.

Saturday Night, Anytime on Sundays or Mondays. Sun Aug 23rd I am tied up early until about 2PM. If I had to pick an ideal day for me it would be Sunday August 30th, anytime day or night.

Looks like we have 9 out of 10 signed up. Not sure who we are missing. Hard to tell, some names do not match up to usernames on the forum. Hope we get things set soon so we can finalize the rules. I want to have plenty of time to work on my rankings per the roster and scoring rules of the league.

Chicago Bear Devin Hester prepares for break-out season as receiver I had doubts as to what to expect from Hester this year. Logic told me he would improve with a QB like Cutler who could hit him on long routes. However, if you read this article you will possibly agree with me that we may indeed have a legitimate #1 WR in our midst. This is a telling passage from the article:

I have heard an aweful lot of good things about Knox since being drafted. The reports in OTAs said he was a much better route runner than expected coming out of a small school. They say he has excellent hands, can make the cuts on a dime, has the burst to gain separation, and has blazing speed. I think he may outshine Iglesias as a rookie.

I agree, I love 1 pt per reception but 2 would be overkill. I also do not care for roster change fees.

You haven't left yet, too late, LOL

Your right, I loved the article.

LOL, I just read the article on the Bears website on Pisa ans saw the link you just posted. Not too much ground breaking stuff but kinda fun to check out.

'95 & '09: Kramer vs. Cutler I have always liked Kramer, as a QB, and after his career in his work with the media. He has never been a "homer" and has shown excellent abilities to analyze a player and team. He isn't full of sh** like many who have written Cutler off as one who throws too many near INTs & other such crap. I like this article a lot. It admits our possible weakness at WR but also admits we might have a lot of good weapons for Cutler. It also gives excellent reviews of Cutlers strengths & weaknesses. Definitely worth reading.

Agreed, garbage. I never saw so many one sentence paragraphs. Knox may have trouble making the roster? Give me a break. Very weak, little substance, no direction, & no logic.

Thanks for the great photos!!

I am going to GUESS that he might have been even heavier in OTAs and was told to get down to ### pounds before reporting July 31st or he would be placed on the back burner until he met his weight requirement. I hope this guy wakes up, I was looking forward to his continued development this year under Marinelli.

I think they decided that he would not make the team with Pisa, Hilly, & J Williams all on board. This way he has a chance to sign on with another team. I like the fact they are giving him a chance to find a new home before it is too late to do so.

Yep, all he is trying to do is stir the pot and try and get us distracted. He should worry more about the distractions in the MIN camp after Farve re-re-re-retired and with their savior Harvin still not signed.

I find it hard to believe that anyone would believe Urlacher to be stupid enough to make such a statement to anyone, even a friend, especially a friend playing for the Vikings. It seems some would just prefer to trash Urlacher. If he says the allegation is untrue, I tend to believe him. The Score said they have a reliable source inside the Bears that totally discredited the rumor about him and Cutler going at it in OTAs. It seems someone from the outside just wants to screw the Bears by starting trouble with false rumors. On a side note, when I played defense our DC use to tell us all players on offense were p***ys. LOL

One of the greatest DCs of all time died of cancer. Jim Johnson in Philadelphia was an outstanding DC who will be missed by all who loved watching his agressive defensive style. Now that Kippen has retired in TBB and J Johnson has passed away, the NFL will be without 2 Defensive Coordinators who should both be in the HOF for their accomplishments. http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/NewsStory18048.html

I love this quote from footballguys.com

Things like this drives me nuts. If he was needing this surgery, did they not know until now? Couldn't this have been taken care of in January or February? I am not too worried, I like Bowman, Graham could be switched backj to CB, and DJ Moore looks promising. It is just that the timing drives me crazy.

DB, things at work have gone from slow, to slower, to crap-0-la. I need to scrap all FF league involvement this year as I may have to look for a part time job to supplement my income and I do not want to obligate myself to a FF team and then become an absentee owner. I will miss my involvement in FF this year as I dearly love it, but hopefully I will be back next year in full participation with all of you guys. In the same light, I may have to forgo my running of the Pick'ems this year and hope to be able to reopen it next year. I have not made a firm decision on this yet but the outlook is bleak.
