No comparison this week. Cutler destroyed McCown - hands down.

 

Peace

I think we can lay this to rest. Case closed

How bout that Bears bros! Our rookie with the pick and Cutler with 3 TDs

Holding to 3 is like a victory

Props to Jay, guy is tough SOB

Bull crap hit there. Hope he gets a $50g fine. Tired of flags every play too

If I didn't know any better, I'd think this was a pre-season game. These officials are terrible.

Two blown calls, WRs not making catches they should, nothing right coming out of this. At least the refs can not be so obvious on padding this game.

With Alshon, Marshall, and Morgan all iffy it's somethin they gotta do. Before those guys are cleared Holmes would be the only healthy WR on the roster. Same with Garza going down. If DLP gets hurt we don't have a center.

Just the luck the Bears have. Last year we had the injury bug on the D, this year its hitting the O. Hope it gets out of the fast.

Comcast SportsNet @CSNChicago · 49m Report: #Bears waive Fales, cut Fiammetta and Hayden

 

I'm guessing we see Boggs, Williams, and Bellamy called up from the practice squad. Perhaps just one of the WRs and Frey/Al Louis-Jean/Terrance Mitchell.

 

Hoping Fales makes it through waivers and gets put on the practice squad.

I am not liking the decision process this team is making lately. I understand the need to shift players due to injuries, but its not looking good seeing Hayden signed and released and then Fales being risked going to waivers. Might be some bigger movement coming.

Still would've liked to see Chris Williams get a better shot. I think all along they thought they could land Britton, and now since regular season has started Brittons contract is not guaranteed.

 

Well we end up with Chris Williams on the practice squad and release DeDe Lattimore. It's all working out in giving time.

 

 

 

 

 

Fixed and maybe.

 

Thanks for catching that, I actually meant NFC North though

 

 

No way man, Cutler is the 5th best QB in the NFL.

Still don't understand why he wasn't playing in the 4th pre-season game. Emery and Trestman make no sense with some of their decision making. It was pretty obvious that Spurlock wasn't any good.

Um... i watched Bucannon and Pryor

 

I wasn't comparing Them to Fuller, I'm saying all 4 S all starting day 1

 

Meant to say there snap counts haven't been tallied or released. I know they played, just pointing out our first round player played quite a bit too. Conte actually played decent against the pass. Now against the run...he hasn't.

He'd be the only one the team capable.

 

Fuller played in 35 out of 57 defensive plays

 

Ha Ha Clinton Dix played 40 out of 52 defensive plays

 

Bucannon and Pryor had no snap counts yet.

 

 

I think playing at Alabama helped his draft status, I do think Mosely LB will play up to his draft slot though. My guy this year is Ole Miss FS Cody Prewitt.

Last year at this about this time, Brandon Marshall took 4 personal days off. It was the week before opening season. It was later noted it was to seek medical attention on his hip, but when he was first excused it was only noted as "personal". I think Brandon and his young apprentice did fairly well and chemistry wasn't hurt from that missed time.

Our Defense is going to be horrific. By far and away the worst S tandem in the league and I can't imagine much worse at LB. There isn't one guy in the back 7 that can lead the team and call plays.

Lets hope the additions/improvements on the line help he guys in the back. I was one that preached how it all starts up front. Now that we have improved that, I expect more stops and hurries. Nothing spectacular but enough to give the offense the edge.

I don't see an issue with Briggs taking a day off, we just like to make a fuss about anything these days. At least the players are staying clear of real negative media. These guys have put together a good string of staying out of trouble since probably Meltons or Webbs arrest...or the guy nailed for driving on a suspended license. Knock on wood that Trestman keeps there heads on the right page and the luck continues.

I'm a bit surprised they went after Hayden over Britton. Seems to indicate Hurst made the roster moreso for special teams play than CB play.

 

I think it also says how confident they are in Ola at the swing OT and Mulligan as the blocking TE. I just hope Mills foot doesn't become an issue.

 

 

I agree - I think Hayden pretty much sucks. Would rather have Frey.

 

Peace

I'm not sure how fair it is to say he sucks since he played decent in 2012 as the Nickle, led the NFL in fumble recovers and had one INT. 2013 he tore his hamstring at family night and missed the season. The minimum, we know we have a solid NB, with Fuller, Jennings, and Tillman he makes a nice vet that can fill in at any spot. Since he had little recent game tape, we were able to waive him until Wilson was eligible for IR. I'd still like to find room for Britton but like the depth at CB.

I would bring in Cain. I thought he did fine last year when Mannelly went out.

I am kind of surprised at how unprepared the Bears have been in the ST department.

I thought Fales played fairly well given he has not had the practice time as a #1 or #2 QB gets. He also played with the Bears 2nd/3rd teamers in this exhibition and played against Clevelands 1st team. He has a long ways to go to develop the touch, but the Bears cutting Palmer and playing Fales shows they are not going to waive him. If that was the case, they would've kept Palmer to play in the Cleveland game and hid Fales from game tape.

 

Bingo! Figured they wouldn't waive him with the release of Palmer and his showcase game. Now Jimmy T, start whispering in bis ear!

Should be filled by Bellamy and Holmes. Bellamy has shown flashes of 'good' and was consistent in tonight's game. Although Holmes dropped his first two he came back with a nice TD and then a decent ( not awesome) PR. Since Holmes is a low cost low risk signing he more than qualifies for a spot especially with being able to do returns. The Bears should carry two QBs into week 1. I think Fales should be put on the practice squad or cut all together. His release is really ugly and obviously needs a lot of work. At least his accuracy was better than 'Lamezel'.

The Draft already. ...

Some of us see the forest, some see a tree. I have us slated to draft S, DT, CB, and LB. Going to be another D heavy draft.

Well Palmer won't be wearing Bears gear this year...He was signed by the Bills

Signing Palmer to get the all the secrets for week one.
