While a win is a win, I'm hoping that we can finish off the Queens early. The game starts late on TV here, at 10:00pm and I really want to go to sleep a bit early knowing we got this one in the bag.

Just as perceived earlier. See ConnorBear's post.

Why a bad dream? Marinelli was excellent with the Bucs, and he was someone that Lovie wanted from the get-go. Or should we stick with Babich?!

Yep, my bad.

Agree. Let Graham take over for Vasher.

And Davis is still hurting, so he is not going to be pounding away at the Williams' Wall.

Read that one yesterday. Have to say it made me feel a bit queezy. I can see JA signing another Moose wannabe and us being no better than before. Hopefully we can get the young WRs we already have into some action. How the hell else can we decide whether they should be taking up space on the roster/PS or just cut them and bring in another batch?

Brad Briggs at the SunTimes reports that Jason McKie left practice yesterday with and injured quad. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...-bsep29.article That causes problems since he was our only FB on the 53 man squad. Jason Davis may be promoted from the PS, but that means that someone else will be cut or Vasher will be placed on the IR. Hope Davis can block the hell out of the Williams' boys!

Ryan is pretty much a given for OROY. He's come in and played great for a team, and Leaugue, that needed soemone to draw the potlight off of the morally bankrupt Michael Vick. But, there is no dobt that Forte is a beast for us this year and is the most productive skill player on O that we have. I'd say that he comes in second or third for OROY.

I hope that they will continue that trend, but they got rid of Millen, so I'd expect something a little more practical. Heck, they probably need help everywhere!

Born in Southern Indiana long before the Colts were in Indy or the Bengals even existed. Was weened on Ditka and then Butkus and Sayers. So, Bear fan for life!

So which QB will they take with the no.1 pick?

Enjoy the day! And the football! We celebrated last Saturday--it is not a holiday here. So you guys enjoy and give some thanks up there!

That's a sad, but true, commentary Madlith. Vasher, former ProBowler now provides "some depth". Nagging injuries or has he hit the wall?

That's it! Way to expand on the thought! Unfortunately, it's probably true.

We know it, but is it so obvious that the coaches will have their heads out of their butts and use it? Or is it so obvious that they will not use it cause the Queens will think we're going to use it?

Preaching to the chior!

Last I checked we were ranked close to the bottom of the league in pass D. It just isn't good.

I like the cut of your jib! If we can't beat the Queens then what shot do we have in a playoff? Bring on who ever can play and have at it.

The way I understand it, from the last suspension, that if the week before a game has begun, then the suspended player plays that game and THEN completes the suspension. So they will be available this Sunday.

Agree. The Rams had lost Pace at LT and had some other injury problems on the OL as well. If we didn't get sacks here, then there'd be concern. But this game just says, IMdO, that they cna outplay a very bad Rams Oline.

Definite improvement at both positions. Forte has the desire and the ability, it seems, to potentially be another solid (great?) RB in the pantheon of Bear RBs. And Orton is showing that he has learmed some things and has the desire to be a solid NFL QB.

Agree on the OL, and always have. If we can't control the LS then the O is never going to hold its own. I'm still befuddled that Williams didn't get some time in this game.

Agreed. Why not? Rex is gone next season. Give the kid garbage time.

You and me both. Jones, obviously, is not going to get any kind of $ offer to stay next season, so he doesn't suit up. But the way our WRs play, why not see Bennett?
