Offseason thoughts
Hanie is the #2. Draft a qb to develop. Knox will never be better than a good #2 receiver and Hester should be the #4 receiver. Bennett is your #3 so you must go get a #1 receiver. Upgrade both lines. Tommie can go (too much money). Get Menkins and Jackson if possible. Peace

Screw it, I'll say it
Look at the list of head coaches the Bears have had. Based on the POS they have had other than Ditka and Halas, of course he is in the top 3. I guess I'm saying thats not a very glamerous list of coaches (other that Ditka and Halas). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chica...rs_head_coaches Peace

Screw it, I'll say it
WE have a very good coaching staff. Lovie is not the best head coach in the league but he is in the top 10. Our entire coaching staff should be considered top 5. One of the things we have never given Lovie credit for is how well he connects with his players. They absolutely love playing for him and have bought in 100%. Peace

Decent read by Michael Wilbon
Nice article but I'm going to give Julius a big 'who you crappin' when he said they were in every game last year. He must not have watched the Arizona, Baltimore, or Cincy games where we were blown out. Peace

Soldier Field
Here is an article explaining it. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2690426 Peace

Soldier Field
Lambeau has the natural grass/turf blend. I interviewed an employee of Field Turf (I write for a local paper). Field Turf has aboud 70% of the sythetic surface market. He is their regional sales rep and said the Bears were very close last year to agreeing to make the change. Peace

Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears, 1/23/11
I love your passion, but Smith and Angelo will not be fired if they lose. NFL owners don't fire coaches/gms when their teams make the championship game. Peace

National Anthem
Here is an article I found on it. Dates back to 1985. You've been to several Bears games. Haven't you heard this before? I can remember the yelling and screaming at non-playoff games as well (national broadcast games) and what you are hearing is yelling and screaming - not singing. I usually clap and don't yell and scream. It doesn't bother me. I get pissed when someone doesn't remove their hat. Peace http://www.secondcityhockey.com/2009/3/17/...y-over-cheering

National Anthem
It's the same effect as when they sing the Anthem at the Blackhawks game (yesterday was the same singer as well - Jim Cornelios (sp)). I believe the tradition in Chicago dates back to the first Gulf War. There was a Blackhawks game the day after war was declared and the crowd went crazy. I actually think it is very cool and is a great show of pride in our country. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Peace

New Golden-Boy Rodgers disses cancer patient?
Team, I deleted 4 replies on this post as they had a political reference in them. I apologize for not responding last night when I saw the post but I honestly didn't think about it at the time. Peace

Aaron Rodgers doesn't stop for cancer patients
True. Peace

Aaron Rodgers doesn't stop for cancer patients
Agreed. Peace

Greatest Bears' highligh video of all time
These are the ones I have seen in person (in no particular order): 1 - Keith Traylor's interception return. 2 - Devin returning 2 TDs against the Broncos (one where he jumps Saurkraut) 3 - Tillman snatching the ball from Moss in the endzone to win the game (was Peanut's rookie year) 4 - Bryan Robinson blocking the field goal at Lambeau to win the game the same week Walter passed away 5 - Devin's touchdown return in the Superbowl 6 - Urlacher intercepting Favre and returning it 90 yards for a TD (Favre's last game at Soldier as a Packer) 7 - Thomas Jones running the ball 8 times in a row for a TD against the Saints right before half in the NFC Championship game 8 - Berrian's TD catch in the NFC championship game 9 - Gould's 49 yard game winning FG against the Seahawks in the playoffs Peace

Greatest Bears' highligh video of all time
Mad - Big Keith Traylor had a great rumblin, bumblin, stumblin run but he did not make it to the endzone. He was tackled around the 10 yard line. I was there. Definitely a play I would have in my top highlights!!! Peace

Mock Drafts
I would say we need to draft 2 o-linemen in the first 3 rounds. We cannot continue to ignore this position in the draft. Peace

R.Reilly and Cutler article
This. Peace

Required Favre news...
What does this have to do with anything? No more Favre news please. My hope is we don't have to hear about him anymore until he is inducted in the HOF. Peace

Ron Rivera has 2nd Interview with Panthers
Congrats to Chico!!!! Peace

Who would you rather face
I agree 100%. Rooting for the Pack tomorrow. Peace

Devin Hester
I would say based on the way the HOF voting goes, Devin will have a hard time getting into the hall even if he continues this trend for a few years. Ray Guy, the best punter of all time, is not in the HOF. Steve Tasker, considered by many the best ST player of all time, is not in the HOF. I would absolutely vote yes for Hester if his career were to end to day but I think he will have a problem with the rest of the voters. Peace

Poll - Define Success for this year
I'm happy they finished 11-5 and made the playoffs but I would like to see them win 1 playoff game. Peace

Quickly..
Bennett is our best receiver from a fundamentals stand-point. Knox had a horrid game. He has to improve to become a #1 receiver. Nice to see Rasheed step up today. Peace
