From the Sun Times: NFL to release full schedule Tuesday The wait for the NFL schedule to be released will end Tuesday. A Bears spokesman said the league will use its television station as a platform to release the schedule at 1 p.m. The Bears know they open the season Sept. 7 against the Indianapolis Colts in the first regular-season game at Lucas Oil Stadium. This is about two weeks later than the schedule has been released in recent years. There was some talk at the owners meetings that the league wanted to ensure it had divisional games near the end of the schedule in an effort to eliminate as many inconsequential Week 16 and 17 matchups as possible. The delay could have involved tweaking the late-season lineup of games. The Bears have a history of playing NFC North foes to close out the slate. They had two divisional meetings in the final three weeks last season—at Minnesota in Week 15 and home vs. Green Bay in Week 16. They closed 2006 with games against Detroit and Green Bay and finished 2005 playing Minnesota and Green Bay. In 2004, the Bears finished with Detroit and Green Bay. The last time the Bears did not have a divisional game in the final three weeks was 2002. They played their final NFC North game in Week 13 that year. Peace

Wolfe had 1 KO return for 27 yds. I believe it was against Seattle and it was off a short kick. I agree the staff did not envision him as a full time RB. Further, I would think he would have to show a whole lot more before he is given that chance. Peace

Welcome back Grouchy!!!!!! Good to hear from you. Peace
-
Gonna disagree strongly on this one. AP led the team in special teams tackles 2 yrs ago. He embraced the role the coaching staff challenged him with. Lovie loves him. He is going nowhere. Peace
-
If we draft a RB in the 1st four rounds, we will keep 4 RBs. AP will be kept on the roster because he is the best ST player on the team. Last yr we kept 7 LBs because of Brendon. AP takes that roster spot. Wolfe will be kept for another yr to see if he can further develop. Peace
-
I agree with this scenario. We really need to address o-line. I would love to see: Rnd 1 - Brandon Alberts Rnd 2 - Matt Forte Rnd 3 - Chilo Rachal Rnd 3 - Jerome Simpson Peace

Absolutely the worst use of a draft pick ever. Had to be one of the worst drafts ever. Bob, the Beast, Sapp was drafted in the 3rd round and didn't even make it out of training camp. The only player who had an impact was Marcus Robinson and that wasn't until the 3rd or 4th yr. What a joke. Peace
-
I like Wolfe and want to see him get more touches next yr. He showed last yr he can have an impact in space and special teams coverage. I don't believe he could ever be a 20+ carry a game player but he doesn't need to be. Peace
-
Suprise, suprise, suprise. Peace
-
They will carry 4 RBs but Peterson will be your special teams ace. Brendon is gone and AP will take his role going forward. Lovie 'loves' him and I do not seeing him going anywhere. Peace

4TH - WOW !!!!! You will be extremely busy. My wife originally wanted 5. After 2, we agreed 1 more would be enough. Heard you on the clothes - they grow way, way too fast!!!! Peace

I think we all agree we cannot depend on Ced next yr. If he suprises us with drastic improvement, that would be a huge plus but we cannot count on it. Further, I think we all agree also that we need to improve our offensive line. It was putrid last yr. If the top 5 o-linemen (Long, Clady, Alberts, Williams, or Otah) are off the table by the time we draft, then I would not have a problem with RB in round 1 or trading down. If we take RB in round 1, we really need to go o-line in round 2 and 3. Peace

By your picture, I assume this is your 3rd (correct?). I have 3 as well. A whole lot of work but there is nothing better. Congrats. Peace

Url has made alot of money of the field as well (obviously not as much as Jordan because Michael was an international star). Between that and his salary he has more money than his great grandchildren's children will ever need. He was not underpaid at the time he signed his contract. I personally think this whole thing is ridiculous. Peace
-
He's is a very good player who is most likely a hall of famer but is no where near the player Jordan was. Jordan never, ever complained about the money. He never held out. He was always the first guy at practice and the last guy to leave. If Url is sitting out in protest of his contract, then there is absolutely no comparison. BTW - Jordan got huge contracts the last 2 yrs in the league (I believe 35+ million each yr). Peace
-
Exactly. Keep this crap behind the scenes. He has 4 friggin yrs left on his contract. He needs to understand he will get very limited sympathy from the fans. Peace
-
Oustanding draft. I would be extremely happy with the first two picks at the least. Unsure if I would go with Henne but, other than that, I really like this draft. Peace
-
Never realized you were so close. We will definately have to get together this fall for a game. BTW - when is next addition arriving? Peace
-
Ok. I will take Tennessee and San Diego. Peace
-
I propose if we do not have a chatroom up at that time, we should try to join Flea to discuss. As I have already noted, I will be unavailable for most of the time but will join when available. Flea - can you post a specific web address for this location? Peace
-
Do you also livetwo hours from Rockford??? Peace
-
Hey, I got to be able to give you shit now and then. Peace

I live in Harvard about 30 minutes away. Would love to get together but unfortunately I have plans for both days. However, let's try to get together this fall for a game. Last fall, I went to Rockford and watched the first Detroit game with Pix and Bowlingtwig. I would definately be up for that again and the more that can join the better. I think it would be mine turn to host the event. Peace

Doesn't look like Mendy will last to 14 now. I still believe we need to address O-line round 1 with RB in round 2. I would like to see: Albert or Williams in round 1 and Forte in round 2. Peace
