Is there any kind of time table given on McClellin's broken hand? The sad thing was he was progressing and did a really nice job against SF. I know a few don't care and just want him gone, but I'd like to see him do well.

Shucks, Shea McClellin will not play Monday night against the Jets. Hand injury is the reason. Just as he starts doing good, he gets hurt again. Hopefully a quick recovery bc I'd like to see him develop and we get a little redemption on the draft pick.

Last season, Trestman was an unknown, Jeffery was an unknown, Bennett was a chance after one decent year in NY, Cutler ran through how many systems, Oline was an unknown....

McCown came into this as an unknown and took the reins late in the season and he did good. He didn't win games for us though. If he came in and won 3 of 4, different story.

To compare them now isn't fair and pointless. To play woulda shoulda coulda is fantasy. To see the Bears lose and the topic comes up again, it is what it is.

It sure seemed once a cheap shot on Jay happened, the team bonded like big brothers and wanted revenge.

Your answer is yes....

 

Chicago Bears ‏@ChicagoBears 2h #Bears have signed TE Blake Annen, CB Jordan Sullen & WR Chris Williams to practice squad; still have 1 spot open on active roster.

 

Annen sounds like the next Fendi type project...

Can't find much worth noting on Sullen.

I wonder if this is the new NFL? Shuffling the bottom 5-10 players up and down to the practice squad. Has this been normal in the past?

 

Total Loss For words...

 

Amazing how the rookies and Free agents played. Kudos to Briggs too, crazy old bastard

Bear down! Hope has been restored with this game.

No way. Still 14 weeks to go and plenty of opportunities for Mr Hyde to appear.

We know it will happen. Cutler with 4 tds and a W is all that matters today. The season was revived behind him leading.

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.
