New Bears Coach
Tom Clements has said we have been given permission to interview him. I know it was basically a given but thought i should still mention it
-
Ray Lewis
I believe hes going to wait til new coach is hired and assess where we are then. Although i believe he will be back on either a 1 or 2 yr deal as i think we will stick with the 4-3 D at least for now as we don't have the personel to run a 3-4

Yes Virginia! There is a Santa Claus!!!!
Couldn't agree more. I bet the offensive guys are completely for this Change though they may never say it publicly

Bears are going to have Salary Cap room
I agree since no one really knows anything about him at this point. Can always put him back on IR if we need to. Better to plan that way. If we get him back great if we don't at least we have it covered

New Bears Coach
You can scratch Koetter off any wish list. According to Alex Marvez of fox sports he has signed a 2 yr extension to stay with ATL

Off season player acquistion
I agree with your overall assessment of needing OL, TE and MLB. I think FA will tell the tale. I've seen a few lists out there and both OL andWRs seem to be pretty deep overall. And in draft the OL position is a ton better than last yr and i believe we will see at least 2 new starters on the line plus a new starting TE. TE is a much bigger priority for me than a speed WR. Jay has to have that go to guy in middle of field

Lovie Smith FIRED as HC
I was thinking the same thing. He seemed to have complete power to make necessary changes and actually went into detailed plans of what he uses to help him identify guys. Giving a shout out to pff. Amazing stuff. I had me 1 yr ago when he went out and got marshall the drafted Jeffrey. Now i just want to see some improvement on oline to help cutler realize his vast potential. I came out of that thinking Bennett will be resihned and he will target gruden as coach. However i cant see gruden leaving espn yet

Did Cutler Get Lovie Canned?
Great point. Cutler is not all to blame. The defense also failed to get key stops in several games but for most part i give them a pass cuz they played out of their minds most of yr. Here's another thing not mentioned yet. How many players was lovie actually able to get them to get much better. We had a safety merry go round for all 9 yrs. We cant have that. Alot of this blame i put on Angelo still for failing to get players on offensive side. Dude thought hester was #1. Yup that worked out great. Emery did more in his 1 yr to help a qb succeed that Angelo did in hos 10 yrs. That's a joke

Bears are going to have Salary Cap room
Like i said. He's the wild card in all this. If he can return fully healthy. Him, marshall and Jeffrey could be a hell of a trio. Add in bennett if we resign him. Lots to look forward to. Unfortunately to this point no one has said much about him. So hard to predict on all this. I know one thing for sure. Its gonna be 1 busy off season lol. Maybe y'all can keep me sane or at least amused if i remember this board right lol

I'm a ND fan also. Old age crumpled my memory what can i say. I would love to get Te'o with that 20th pick but i don't see him dropping that far

Bears are going to have Salary Cap room
Does anyone know what contract status is of knox. I know hes 1 wild card in all this. Also 1 guy i want to look at in draft is the TE from Notre Dame. Name escapes me but i saw most of his games. Hes a solid blocker, is big 6'7 i believe and excels at high pointing the ball. I dont know where he projects to go just yet but i think cutler would love to have a dependable TE in middle of fields again

Lovie Smith FIRED as HC
I don't see O'Brien leaving PSU just yet. And I've heard from several sources that the redskins dont think either of there coordinators will leave for a HC job just yet

Did Cutler Get Lovie Canned?
I agree. Lovie is a good coach. No debating that but fail to get to playoffs 5 of 6 yrs since SB run. Lost 7 straight to to your rival here in Chicago gets you fired. Hes a good players coach. Players love him cuz hes laid back. Absolutely nothing wrong with that but in Chicago its not about just being competitive. It's about wins in playoffs and Super Bowls. I wish him the best of luck and although i hate seeing him leave i do think it was time

Jedd Fisch- OC?
He would be an interesting choice. How about norv turner. I know he failed as hc but he is a good oc and we have better talent for him to work with. Just tossing out another name
-
Lovie Smith FIRED as HC
Yeah man i could go for koetter as well. With McCoy i look at he made orton look pretty damn good 1 yr then was able to change schemes to fit tebow mid season and make playoffs albeit on luck. I agree anyone would look good with peyton at qb. Good to see u still here bud. Everything is good. Boys growing like weeds and im still driving but for a better company and with my dad so business is looking up. Actually looking to buy new trk maybe mid yr

Lovie Smith FIRED as HC
Ur right DBDB. I believe we have the most attractive job out there. We have the atar players to make it a quick turn around. Its Chicago so its a great market to be in. If anyone could lure chuky out of booth its us but i don't see it happening. Im hearing alot of Mike McCoy and i would be in favor of that Btw ppl im back after a couple yrs away. Hope nothing has changed. Where's my good friend pixote at

2011 Official TalkBears Fantasy Football Check-in
Hey Ary I just got done paying. It wouldnt allow me to pay the 20 that I owe so I paid the 25. However according to the site it says 4 people still haven't paid and that u were one of them. Is something wrong with the site.

Julius Peppers
This is awesome. If this team plays with unity they will be tough to beat especially considering some players are hungry cuz they are in final year of contract and want to stay/get paid

Chicago Bears @ New Orleans Saints, 9/18/11
One of the analysts is schlereth and I know he is such a broncos homer but I'm starting to think he will always have us losing no mattter what. I bet he was a fan of cutlers til we made the trade for him and now he hates on him all the team. He mentioned on mike and Mike that we have no shot even against a banged up team and we will lose by at least 14, I find it funny we do better than everyone predicts we upgraded during off season but yet we still suck. Let the hatets hate

Harbaugh whining over lack of highlights
Amen brother. One of my best friends and even my dad are huge Packer fans, at least with them and most Packer fans I know I can at least hold a good conversation with them. You just don't get this with alot of other fan bases. And some fan bases are so biased that they just think they are greatest team to ever step on this planet and that they can do absolutely no wrong. Just can't hold conversations with these guys without wanting to pull your hair out.

Bears Improvement Hinges On 3 Gurus Doing Their Thing
The good thing us we have new Orleans next and they don't have much of a pass rush. The problem will be the following week against green bay. That will be a very good test. We need to get things cleaned up before we get Detroit as that line is nasty and plays very dirty
