San Diego over Dallas.

This thread is hilarious. King always has questionable comments, and from his past comments, he doesn't like Chicago. On the Cribbs / Hester debate. Hester is the playmaker, but he is all or none. Even with 2 TD return for kickoffs, Hester was not in the Top 30 for Kickoff Return Average. Cribbs averages over 30 yards a return, Hester is under 22. Hester was much better at punts, but even then, he still did not lead the league in punt return average (Parrish). Now if you take into effect all the other things that Hester influences, he is clearly the better Return man, even if the stats don't always show that. The Bears also led the league in average starting position (34.43).

He seems alot like Mendenhall.

Extend Harris and attempt to sign Briggs if the price is right. Let Berrian walk. Also look at extending Hester now. The Bears were about $10 million under the cap for 2007. They need to bring in at least one OL FA. At least the Bears have 4 picks in the first 3 rounds. They can get some quality in those picks.

He shouldn't cost as much as Berrian with only 1 reception in 2006.

Everyone knows how bad our offense was this year, but looking at the numbers, our defense fell off just as much from 2006. They were worse against the pass by 37 yds/g, worse against the run by 23 yds/g, had 2 less Defensive TDs, and were worse in every major defensive category other than sacks: > 06 - 07 INT 24 - 16 FF 23 - 20 PD 85 - 64 SK 40 - 41 Losing 11 Turnovers is huge for this team. Also, the passes defended drop-offed considerably (Vasher?). I hope the Bears can also defend better against the screen pass. We seemed to get burned all day by that play. Hopefully this was related to all the injuries on the defense.

What about Feagles?

#14 is sweet finishing with 2 wins. We tied Detroit for SoS, so the Divisional record was the tiebreaker. Now we need an early departure by SD to get a better 3rd round pick from them. So our picks are locked in for the first three rounds at: 1st Round - #14 2nd Round - #44 3rd Round - #75 3rd Round - (from SD somewhere around #90) Then we have the following picks (approximates based on # of supplemental picks): 4th Round - #109 5th Round #151 (from CAR) 6th Round #181 (Approximate due to supplemental picks) 7th Round #224 (Approximate due to supplemental picks)

Nice! Hopefully those scores hold up. Based on needs of teams, we can probably come up with a couple of likely scenarios for pick #15.

True, go Cards and Broncos!

Please god no, but you are right, he has a great shot.

I think we should keep Brown and sign him to an incentive laden deal. Something that involves # of snaps or games played.

Yes, but barely. If they win they would also be 7-9, making it 7 teams at that record. We would pick 15th in the first, and then pick 9th in the 7th. If they lost, we would pick 15th again in the 7th. So not much of an impact. An Arizona win actually helps more.

Our new inter division rivals. We play them again next year.

There was an article about this recently. Parrish from Buffalo just got extended, so you have to believe the Bears do it now. He is only going to continue to get more expensive. Now is the time to lock him up.

That is true, and to think teams kicked away from him, and he still broke his own record. He should own the All-Time return record sometime next year, in only his 3rd year. Amazing.

Based on a #15 First Round Pick, the Bears would have the following picks: #15 #44 #75 #90 (from SD) #106 #151 (from CAR) #182 (Approximate due to supplemental picks) #225 (Approximate due to supplemental picks)

Thank god. I thought you were looking at something completely different. I am looking at it and seeing everyone slide up one slot until the top, then dropping off - and you were saying the complete opposite. LOL.

Yeah, I would love to move down into the 20's and add a 2nd rounder. That would be sweet.

What? How would the Bears jump 7 spots in the 2nd round? This isn't fantasy football. All they move up is one position per round. So if they select 16th, they will have the 15th selection of the 2nd, 14th of the 3rd, etc.

11 Return TDs in 2 seasons. Silly. That doesn't even include his FG return last year. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3173810

I agree. I was saying in terms of actually performance compared to the rest of the team.

Head to Head is not even a discriminant. That is weird:

It says that after overall record, the next factor is SoS. The team with the easier schedule with the same record is actually the worse team. That is how it has been unless it has changed recently.

True, this will be something to watch. I assume they would do it right away.
