Steelers @ Bears 9-20-09 3:15 CT
I tried to find you before the game, but in the middle of the game it was too crowded. I was in 350, Row 2 for the game against the Steelers. Ended up getting on CBS after the game giving my opinion on the Bears W!!!! Game was a ton of fun to be at. And to top it off, I proposed later on in the evening in downtown and am now engaged.

You've thrown a handful of decent guys together over a 10 year period. At no more than one or two seasons did the team have what would be considered a decent set of WR's. Having your #3 playing a #1 and a #4 playing a #2 is not a decent WR corps. Its a below average to very bad one.

Bears Pass on Brooks
Briggs has been by far the best player on the D for 3 years people.

May I Ask?
I don't think Davis was on the field for anything but special teams. DA was listed as doubtful but I believe he should be back any-week.

She's a playmate and Baskett's soon to be wife. They have a reality TV show on some channel that my girlfriend watches every once in a while.

When I referred to Wade, I was talking about the years prior to them picking up Berrian. Notice now a year into Berrian's days (along with the drafting of Percy Harvin) he's now out of a job. The Bears WR's have been bad, very bad. Are some serviceable #2-#4's sure, but having a guy thats a #3 most anywhere else be our #1 is the definition of a bad WR corps.
-
Hester
Those guys were #2-#4's everywhere else. The Bears looked at them to be #1's. That is the definition of crap. You didn't prove me wrong.

Sod replaced at Soldier
Desmond Clark summed it up perfectly.

Bears Pass on Brooks
Briggs has been the best player on our defense for 3 seasons and he'll take over as the leader. I'm very confident in my Briggsy.

Hester
Berrian's stats were very similar between Minny and Chicago so I'm not quite sure I understand what your saying? The Bears flat out developed Berrian and unfortunately let him walk (I was the one screaming to put the tag on him because of the lack of anything else at the WR position).
-
Hester
None of what you are selling me jumps off the page. Those guys are the definition of retreads. Eddie Kennison put up big numbers in a spread type of offense . Wade and Gage haven't been very good and Booker was not near as good outside of CHicago as he was inside. Bobby Engram was rock solid when he left and Terrell underused? Terrell went to plenty of places where WR's have excelled and never did anything near what he did in Chicago (which was pretty much butkus). That list you rolled off is the definition of below average WR's.

The Bears have not had decent WR's over the past 10 years. They had one star, Marcus Robinson, who got hurt immediately after becoming a star and two good WRs (Marty Booker and Bernard Berrian). Thats it. Other than that they've had nothing and over the past ten years have arguably had the worse WR corps in the NFL. Heck the 4th best WR in the past 10 years is probably Justin Gage (and he did nothing while in Chicago) (I'm not counting Engram because I don't believe he was on the Bears anytime during the past 10 years). Boddy Wade would be the 5th best and he's out of a job and was only getting the reps he was because he was on a Vikings team that had a very shitty WR corps.

Smith deserves majority of blame for loss
This is from Lovie Smith on the play

Hester
It is too bad Plax got all that jail time cause he really would have been the perfect fit.

Hester
Just from looking at the replays, it looked like Hester was open on a good number of plays and seemed to be doing a much better job running routes and trying to help his QB. Clearly though, Cutler has known Bennett for longer and will look at to him right now but I really hope we see Hester develop that rappore as well. And ultimately I'd still like to see the club bring in another very good WR as well and in the future we could have a corps of Bennett, Hester, Knox, another good WR and that would be a nice corp's in time, imo.
-
Hester
But did anyone notice how when Cutler needed to throw a ball, he rarely looked at Hester. I thought Hester played great, but the two need to do whatever it takes to ultimately get on the same page because Hester will be the WR most likely to get open as he is just so stinking fast. Bennett definitely grew during the game though. Boy would I love to have Isaac Bruce or someone like that though. You think we could make a deal with the Niners for a veteran like that who could really help our young WR's and give Cutler a crafty vet to look at.

Looking ahead to Pittsburgh
I'll be at the game and I'll be bringing home a Bears win.

Nfo...I'm glad your around today cause you've been spot-on all day long

"Franchise" apparently means "excuses"
He extended plays and up together a late drive to give the Bears a lead. I'm sick of Bear fans being idiots cause they are making the smart fans look bad and making the city of Chicago look bad. Its one freakin game, relax people.
-
The fake punt
I'm pretty sure it was the booth or someone that messed up. I completely agree with you though, if Lovie just threw the flag without consulting thats stupid cause that is a challenge you should never lose.

Well, we knew Cutler....
Ya right. Orton would have been sacked 5 or 6 times given the pressure Cutler saw. And I actually like Orton, he turned into a solid, but not great QB. I love Cutler and while he played the worse game of his career he still did a lot of good things, including a 4th quarter drive to put the Bears up.
