Gotta love long drives that stall 10 yards away from a touchdown, resulting in field goals.
Sigh.
And ya gotta love those false start penalties. Lovie needs to get some discipline on the team.

You got that pretty much right on Mongo. I do think that we need to wait and see who's there when we draft, but we have to get some Ol guys in here that can play. FA will be critical, but it will also be costly. If I have to choose between resigning Briggs or getting a solid LT, no doubt in my mind I take the LT. OG is also going to be necessary and we need some youth that can play for the OL s well. It must be addressed in the offseason or we will be doomed next year.

i don't ever want toloose games i don't care if it worsens our draft position
Oh yea flea.
What kind of guys would we want on the field if they were thinking "let's go out and lose this one"? Our draft pick is going to be high enough as it is. And we're talking about playing the team with the best record (tied) in the conference and then a team with playoff hopes (maybe), so they'll be tough ones anyway. -
You really can't say many people would have said the things the Bears did were wrong. A year ago, hell at the beginning of the season, the Bears were still the talk of the NFC and for the most part were one of the most respected franchises in football. Things went south quickly and the Bears completely collapsed. Some due to injuries, some due to poor coaching, and a lot due to poor play.
Things definitely caught up with the team this year. An unholy convergence of injuries, overconfidence, coaching brain farts, missed assignments, bad performance, dirty uniforms, poor groundskeeping--you name it, it happened. After so much expectation at the start of the season, the fall, for me at least, has been hard. Crap, I hate going back to "let's see what next season brings."

Good to have ya here finally Chile! Nfo finally dragged himself over here...I think he had to wade through a ton of Cowboy homers to get here and that's why it took him so long.
BTW, who else is missing from the old group? Did Clenched Claw make the transition? I sure hope so, cause he always was a "special" poster, to quote JA.
-
He's a great 3rd receiver because he's a weapon. Asking anything more then that hurts his return ability.
You may be right Bradjock. Hester is not the second coming of Red Grange. He's probably the best return guy so far to play football. And perhaps I'm laying too much on him to expect that he can transfer what he does on returns to the rgular O. He has a long way to go to learn routes, positioning, blocking, etc., that goes into making a solid WR.
Realistically, then, writie him in as our no. 3 WR next season, try to sign Berrian, drop moose and draft or bring in a FA guy.
-
Hopefully some of the bench players will get another look/first look. Hass anyone?
I'd love to see them promote the guys from the pactice squad for next week's game with NO. But, as I think I said before, Lovie doesn't seem to thrilled about seeing what alot of these guys can do.
-
If it does happen, I hope it does not affect his return game.
He's a guy they have to get the ball to more. He's so damn explosive and knows what to do after he has the ball that he has to start. He is just raw right now and hopefully the next OC can bring his development along.
As far as returns, no one is going to kick to him anyway until we have an O that can make them pay.
-
Agreed. Kind of a combination of both. Have to evaluate talent and do the best they can to win.
Peace
Just another example of Lovie with his head in the ground. Why all the crap? No one believes what he's saying and we all know they're evaluating, so, yes, why not Beekman? And Hass?
-
Yeah, I hear ya. But I just think that Football is the top game and only got two more weeks to see Da Bears. And the hated Puckers are in town. I'd go!
-
No flaming is deserved at all!
Although I just don't see it. Briggs will want to test the market in my opinion.
But if it goes down...I take McFadden.
Yes Madlith, I'll get on the take McFadden bandwagon. But you know it ain't gonna happen cause we've got Ced the Stud.

1) I don't think Adrian Peterson had too much problem accellerating on the slow surface in Chicago. I've also noticed that Devin Hester seems to be pretty fast in Chicago. In other words, that logic is faulty. Sure, it's great to have that bruiser in the one or two games a year when Soldier field gets messy, if it even happens, but it's probably better to have a guy like Devin Hester who has the potential to change a game on every play. Aside from Jamal Lewis, Lendale White, and maybe one other, the top 15 RBs in the league, statistically by yardage, are all faster, quick-hitter-types.
2) In all honesty, I wouldn't mind a plodding, blasting, Earl Campbell franchise back. If the guy can keep the chains moving with constant four and five yarders, causing the safeties to creep up and allow the passing game holes, I'm all for it. But usually the guy who does that in college doesn't do that in the pros. That's why the quick-hitters are typically better pro RBs.
3) Like I said before, I agree with you. If a team thinks they have a franchise guy on the board, and he is a can't miss, sometimes you gotta go BPA. If you know Peyton Manning is going to turn into Peyton Manning, and you happen to have a Carson Palmer, you might just have to draft Manning and find a trade-partner for Palmer, despite the fact that he is great in his own right. I just didn't think Benson was that guy. And from what I remember about all the debates back then, most thought he was good, but not as special as the Bears' staff apparently thought. As you said, it appears that those of us who thought Benson was a wasted pick are right. With that said, I hope he proves me wrong next year.
It's just unfortunate that Benson is such a bust. And worse, we are going to be stuck with himas THE RB for next season.
-
Me too.
1) Briggs, Keep Briggs money and spend elsewhere.
2) Keep Dez and dump Gilmore.
3) Alex Brown should be part of the mix next season. He wanted more $, but came back and excelled. He's a team guy.
4) Miller has to go.
5) Kreutz is going to stay, he's been the rock too long. Maybe next season he gets his snaps right.
6) Definitely let Moose go. Take a long look at what it takes to sign Berrian and work on getting Hester ready for WR.
RB.... Benson WILL be back, but I still don't like him. And it's a waste of time even saying replace him next season. He'll be it and then gone when he can't carry the load again.
QB...What a friggin mess, as usual.Let's see what's available in the offseason and get some new arm (s) in camp.
Most important, though, DUMP RON TURNER!

I won't argue there, but to say you want Rex over McNabb because McNabb is injury prone is just flat out hilarious.
IMdO, we should resign Rex, along with someone else, either draft or FA. But I think Rex gets offered some big $ and moves on. McNabb is going to cost us too much in terms of draft picks and I don't want to give up the draft for him cause we need too much help in other areas. Fix the Oline first.

CHILE'S HERE
Now we're international all over the place!
Now, if I can just figure out the avitar and signature stuff!

What did you have as your old avatar? Was it the #42 Jersey with your username? Or was it a different one you are referring to? I have most of the graphics I created on Bearstalk on my PC and if it is one I have I can email it to you to use here.
That offer is for all of the gang from Bearstalk!! Just let me know what you are looking for.
Great to see that most of the gang has stumbled in. Glad to remain part of the mix. Now, where the heck is Nfo!

That sounds awesome. If I remember I'll get you set up with ftp access for the server so you can save stuff you want online and all that jazz. That flash gallery sounds super sweet.
Also, this goes out to you and everyone else, but remember, if there is some links you'd like on the site or anything else let me know and I'll get it done.
Looks like you're doing a great job of getting things going DBDB and others. I really appreciate being able to stay connected.

Yes, I liked the ball control and the pick up of 3rd downs, except for the final one. But I'll wait and see how the adjustments go down for the Puckers and Turner before I get excited about this one.
