Watching NFL Total Access this AM Terrell Davis states in a very positive manner that the Bears will lose this Sunday and our season will end. Guess we should just rest our starters and mail this one in.
He was a good RB, but I think he is lacking as a analist.

I would add that this years garbage could turnout to be solid next year. Prior to the season, when you saw Atlanta, did you really think it was going to be a hard game? Year to year, there is simply too much change to assume a bad team one year will be bad the next, except Detroit
Yea, I was sad to see Millen get the axe.

It says on ESPN bottom line that CHildress expects them both to play this week.
They can play until there appeal is over.

Only some of the games are backwards compatible.

I think they are doing a great job with him. If anything, I would like to see Jones get some more carries. Last week was an aberation since we were blowing out Detroit. Jones should be getting approximately 10 carries a week.
Peace
Yea but you still need to get Forte 20 - 25 carries a week.

I started him in a league this week, more than pleased
good call flea

Raiders have a worse record over the past 5 years then the Lions.

QB Rating Calculator
A bit off topic but for those who like to crunch numbers like I do I found this QB Rating Calculator and thought I would share the link with you. I have seen others in the past but this one is pretty slick, IMO.
I took your numbers on Grossman's season predictions and figured 7yds per attempt, this is what I got:
Attempts: 414
Completions: 240
Passing Yards: 2900
Touchdowns: 25
Interceptions: 10
Comp.% Yards/Att. TD% Int.% NFL QB Rating
57.97/ 7.00/ 6.03/2.41/ 89.64

I would rather bring Phil Simms out of retirement.

Agreed DB.

This is disturbing news. I had hoped Beekman would emerge as a decent LG, since Metcalf was a total bum last year. Angelo is going to get a QB or two or three killed this year if he doesn't bring in a Vet at that position.
Oh wait.....
They don't have a third QB who will be game ready in '08!
.
If i remember correctly, at one point in time, wasnt M Booker the emergency backup QB.

The Bears will be good this year, not great.
At QB, I see a solid competition between the two QB's bringing out the best in one of them. I still think it'll be Grossman but I could be wrong. Frankly, the reason I'm leaning Grossman at this time is because I think he let his success in 2006 get to him a bit in 2007. He was constantly thinking, the Bears are "dissing me" by not signing me up long term for a new big money deal. Like the New Years Eve Game, he took his eye off the prize, didn't show the required amount of pride in being his best at all times, and regressed. This isn't a defense of Grossman, I think that type of behavior is completely unacceptable. I'm just guessing he's learned from those mistakes, perhaps matured a little, and we'll see a much more consistent QB out there.
At RB, we've got real competition again. I personally hope Forte blows the coaches away in training camp which will make Benson a role player. It isn't that I think Benson isn't capable of the same sort of revelation I'm hoping for in Grossman, I think he may be. But he's so turned me against him over the years, with his childish attitude toward the game, I find myself rooting against him. If he wins the starting job, I hope he stays healthy and puts up huge numbers. I'm a Bears fan and as long as he isn't pulling Pac Man Jones type stuff, he'll be my guy when the whistle blows. Regardless, we've got three or maybe even four guys at RB who I believe can get it done.
OL - My biggest screams last season, before the hitting started, were about this area of the field. We've addressed it some in the draft. A lot of the success this year will depend on how quickly this group comes together. I still think we need added depth here (at Center, for one) but I'm pretty sure we've got a few guys coming off of injury from last season who may help out. If this group improves modestly, we're good. If they really gel, we're a playoff team with potential.
WR - We'll see. I think QB play will improve if the OL gels. I think QB play will improve if our RB's are getting better than 3 yards a carry. If QB play improves, the numbers our WR's will have will also improve. This is my biggest worry on offense this season. Damn if I wouldn't love it if they could trade next year's #1 pick for Chad Johnson. I think that guy makes this team 10 times better, immediately. And, unlike a lot of other loud mouth WR's out there, I've always thought he was mild by comparison.
TE - while we don't make good use of them in Turner's offense, I still have hope that we can prove we've got the best set of TE's in the league. And damn if we didn't draft another guy who is supposed to be solid as well, as long as he can avoid trouble.
ST - We're going to have the best special teams in the league this season.
DL - Dusty needs to get in there and stay healthy. Is there news on him? I still love this group even without him but think it can be one of the best in the league with him back in there.
LB - #54 will be back. This group will again be special. We've got a bunch of guys who should be pushing Hunter this season for his spot. That's a good thing.
CB - No complaints here.
S - Does Brown still have something to offer? We were OK here last year without him and we've got some young talent coming on, probably. We'll see. Saying good bye to Archie appears to be addition by subtraction. If Steltz is the modern Doug Plank, as per Kiper, we're fine at this position for years to come.
So, to sum it up, I'm not drinking the koolaid yet but I do see this team as one capable of bouncing back this season.
Great post Cracker

on the old board the moderators played it pretty close to the vest when it came to hard obceneties and it worked well, at least for me. either deleting the immediate disputed word/s and letting the person know where and why it was edited with a warning and at least listening to the offenders side of the story, if there was one, via email or whatever.
if some want a place for adults to vent in that manner then a page off of the main with an adults warning label on it is a possibility. that may be amicable to all.
the truth of the matter is that smaller children or young adults either do, or want to, read information on such an informed bear site as this one with the great variety of posters. that their father or mother or friends frequent this site makes it harder to say they shouldn't be able to read what is posted on here because of hard core adult language. in fact some younger people may be great CONTRIBUTORS if given the chance and add to our depth.
one other item on the other board/s i have frequented... absolutely no racial, ethnic origin, religious, or physical threatening attacks or justifications were tolerated. not saying that any of this has ever happened on here or will, it's good policy to put it boldly in the rules as unacceptable to any passing through flamers ect.
i would also while i am at it say thanks to you and all who have provided this space for all of us. i think you have done pretty well so far. congratulations.
This is a Bears board, for young as well as older posters.

No offense, but is there really a need for 15 admins?
All of us are needed to keep you in line.

Seems to happen more and more since having kids. You always hear about how beer kills brain cells, but I contend kids do it far faster.
LOL. I know the feeling, my youngest graduates this year.
