I'd say it is 50/50. We have the money but at the same time there are a lot of other guys we may sign. If we don't get Briggs I expect us to lock up a few of our guys like Tillman, Vasher, Berrian, & Grossman as well as going after a good looking offensive lineman.

So what, its like a 5 o clock shadow now Mine was legendary in October of 05...just ask my bears stalker....I think he goes by the name Steve

The media can say whatever they want, but I hope the next poll talks about the Bears players having won the Super Bowl. Alright who the heck is this. And you are right, Dilfer did in fact replace Tony Banks midway through the system so his stats are a bit skewed. That said I don't recall Dilfer being cut right after winning the super bowl. If he did in fact leave he left because he was a FA and got a better contract offer from someone else.

My myspace will continue blasting the Super Bowl Shuffle. However when I get home I'll make sure to check this out, sounds like it could be pretty cool.

Ya, we'll do our best to do so. It is obviously a bit tougher here as this is nowhere near the size (yet), but we hope with time and steady growth that in the future this place can develop into the premiere place for all things Chicago Bears.

That is because Rivera has the same flaw that Lovie has (in Jerry Jones mind). That flaw would be that both run a cover 2 defense and not the 3-4. I'd be stunned if they chose Rivera (and his combo of Jim Johnson's d and the cover 2) over someone like Wade Phillips (the architect of the 3-4).

Other message boards such as ESPN and the official Bear boards (to share the article). But yes, we have the homepage and can bring it back at any time but would like to do so knowing that it would be kept up to date.

That display was absolutely classless. I will give Reggie credit for apologizing after the game and I hope he never does such a stupid thing again. It is one thing to get excited, but its another to put down or taunt the other team (unless that team has already down a bunch of taunting during the game). Overall I just like it when a team plays with class because its a sign that they've been there before and they will be there again. I still love emotions in the game though, if you make a great play, celebrate, just don't slam the other team while doing it (unless its making fun of the Giants and all the stupid jumpshots they do, ROFL).

Haha, classic stuff. Right now I got the super bowl shuffle up on my myspace page (got to pimp out the Bears).

Haha...I'm hear to tell you welcome aboard. Judging by your post you are obviously enthusiastic about the Bears but I will say that you shouldn't quit your day job (whatever that may be). Great to have you on board and hopefully you'll be writing up a super bowl champion wrap in a couple weeks

I guarantee that Lovie Smith will remain as head coach of the Chicago Bears. First off, for him to go elsewhere this season, Jerry Jones would have to have a complete woodie over Smith. Personally I don't think that is the case, considering that Smith would change the Cowboys defensive scheme from the 3-4 (Jones wants to keep the 3-4). In addition, Jones would have to offer in the neighborhood of 7 million per year or so (over 5-6 years) to even get Lovie to consider pushing the Bears and before that were to happen the Bears would have to give permission to Dallas (and they won't be giving any permission during these next 2 weeks nor do I see Dallas sitting around and waiting for it). Basically put, Lovie will sign a 5yr 25 mill or so extension to stay with the Bears. Lovie likes the players, likes his assistants, likes the GM, likes the fans/city and has really became to embody what the Chicago Bears franchise is about and he's going to have the opportunity to represent this franchise for a long long time (as will Angelo as our GM). I think the Bears were going to sign Lovie to an extension either way. He's proven that last year was no fluke and now that he has a couple playoff wins (and hopefully one more 06-07 playoff win left) under his belt I am even more sure than ever that he'll get a nice fat contract (in fact he probably made a little bit more due to the teams performance). However, I tend to think that both of these guys contracts (Angelo/Smith's) are pretty much done, its just that the Bears are waiting to the end of the off-season to complete the minor details (as to not take away from what the team is doing).

Oh man and I thought 23 was the number I was supposed to be scared of. At least that is what Jim Carey is saying.

Welcome aboard. Great to have another Bear fan in the mix and lets hope all of us will be celebrating something real special in 13 days

As usual, I will refuse to watch the super bowl half time show. Halftime shows are the boringest things in the world. Call me old fashion, but I'd prefer to see the Bud Bowl or at least hear some talking head analyze/breakdown the first half.

Amazing...the Bears are playing in the freaking SUPERBOWL!!! YESSSSS

Fantastic news. Whether you like Tank or not and there is no denying he made a very serious mistake in his life, you can't not like the fact that he seems to be saying the right things since that whole fiasco. In addition he has played tremendous football and will be a key element of our game plan against the Colts because for the Bears to win the game they will need to be playing at the highest level (and for Tank that means not only blowing up the run, but also getting penetration on passing downs (which hopefully flusters and prevents Manning from being able to step up and finish off his passes).

Freaking sweet. I continue to have faith and cheer like hell for Rexy. Lets hope he can come out again on Sunday and play good football!!!!

BEARDOWN BABY...LETS DO THIS THING!!!!

I think Tillman is the better all around corner while Vasher is a bit better of a play-maker. Personally I think both will be Bears for a long time with us eventually developing Hester as the nickel back (but we have time as Manning will be here another couple years). I like our secondary, its just a matter of finding a legit safety since Mike Brown has proven to be too much of a health risk.

Lets do this. Smash mouth football, the ocassional play action and down field pass, and some defense and forced turnovers. It all starts with Seattle!!!!

Rexy is gonna be bringing back Sexy!!!!!

I really think thats why we've seen such a hot and cold Grossman. Turner's game calling has been either very good or absolutely god awful and there really has been no middle ground. Basically put if his initial plan works, brilliant, but if it doesn't we've had a hard time making adjustments and succeeding in the game (although in the Giants game we did stick with the game plan and things ended up working alright despite early struggles).

If the Bears can win, we will likely be in good shape and be favorites to actually retain our entire staff. I am surprised that Ron is getting head coaching calls considering the way our offense has collapsed the 2nd part of the season (than again so has our defense). Lets just hope these guys improve there coaching resume's these next few weekends by getting some playoff wins and by doing so Bears fans will be happy because the team is on its way to the big game and the front office will be happy because other teams will have probably made there decisions and went with head coaches (the only exceptoin being Al Davis, who may wait till preseason considering how slowly the Raiders look, but I can't see either of the Rons taking that pathetic job). Just think about how much of a bargain Smith was (lowest paid HC in the league). That will all change though and I think the two have already agreed to an extension and my guess is we are talking about 4yr 20-24 million.

Give Benson and Jones 32+ carries, Grossman has 2 turnovers or less, and I say its 24-14 Bears.

Welcome aboard. Great to have another Bear fan here. If all goes right this week, you very well could have a lot of talk with your buddies about a potential Bears/Saints matchup. Of course first we need to take care of business against the Hawks and all I care about is the Bears doing there thing and playing well. We do that and I am 100% confident in our squad. If we try to get cute and make mistakes, we are toast.
