He is our most clutch defensive player. He's always making plays, almost had a couple sacks today as well.

We can't even blitz with 8 guys and get pressure. Where has Julius Peppers been all day? Did he even dress?

Just a joke. We had 6 plays to score 7 points inside the 10 and we come away with a FG opportunity. I can never get excited about this team its ridiculous.

I hate this offense so much. This should be a 30 point blowout by now with the way the defense has played today. Just disgusting to watch and now we are letting them back in this game. Unbelievable.

Cutler has been atrocious today as well. Two terrible decisions that have cost us good opportunities to score points. That is unacceptable.

The same one you are. 21 points is bad when you look at what kind of field position our defense has put us in with all their takeaways.

That was not a fumble, Lovie should win this challenge.

Our offense is so pathetic..

Is Hester going to field a punt today or..?

Even our running plays look like crap. Why does Forte get so damn close before Cutler is ready to hand that off? He does it all the time and I don't get it. Their timing is way off on the handoffs.

Can we cut Major Wrong yet? Sick of his ass always being injured.

That doesn't say alot for the Bears quarterback history, lol. If we get weapons around him, he'd routinely throw for over 4,000 yards a season. I can't wait to see what he does when and if that ever happens.

The next 4 games will decide whether or not the Bears will make the playoffs as a Wildcard winner. I actually think the next 3 games should be wins. Tampa Bay is pretty much an identical clone to us but worse, the Eagles can't defend the run and if you get after Vick he will throw a couple picks in your favor, Detroit isn't as good as there record says they are and we got them at home. The San Diego game will be the toughest matchup in these next 4 games IMO. 3-1 puts us at 6-4. If we go 1-3 or worse, you can count us out and we can start positioning ourselves for the best draft spot we can get. Even going 2-2 puts us in an up hill battle, especially when we will still have a game against Green Bay and Oakland, who looks to be a playoff team this season.

It'll be good to get both he and Carimi back after the bye. Lance has been doing a nice job as the RT in his absence.

I stopped reading at "He's no Leader."

If it wasn't obvious before it should be now after Cutler's press conference today.

I think its pretty pathetic that he writes a book like this, especially about a guy that's not here to defend himself.

Well i don't know, but he did in Denver and he was pretty good at catching passes from Cutler. I believe he was actually diagnosed with Bi Polar disorder if I'm not mistaken, so there is always a risk but I'll take the risk if you get the 100 catches and 1100+ yards from him every season. Personally, I would still like to get our WR through the draft because it's cheaper, but if the plan is not to go with a high round WR (Which would be beyond moronic) then there are alternatives, and Brandon Marshall would be one of them.

The most I'd offer for Marshall is either a 2nd rounder or two 3rds. Miami used two seconds to get him from Denver so a 2nd or two 3rds sounds reasonable if they are looking for extra picks to rebuild.

Forte just needs to shut up and play. The Bears tried to get a deal done before the season, they couldn't, so now they are waiting until after the season. What part of that doesn't he understand? I'm sick of this weekly Matt Forte talking about his contract stuff. STFU and play, because you aren't going anywhere. The Bears could just as easily Franchise tag him for the next two years if he doesn't accept what they are offering.

No you're right about that. For some reason I had it in my head that they would always get off to slow starts and then pick it up in the 2nd half but it was actually the other way around. My mistake.

If it happened, I'd imagine they'd cut Sam Hurd because he does nothing as a WR and really isn't even that good on special teams. Or maybe Roy Williams because of his underwhelming play in this offense.

The Bears quarterback coach, Shane Day, is the one that calls the plays in to Cutler and that was who he was talking to when he said it.

Oh I know. He did lead them in receptions but as I said before, that was also the year (2007) that Roy Williams missed 4 games with injuries. But regardless, McDonald had a great season thanks in large part to the addition of Calvin Johnson and having Roy Williams on the field. I don't think people were really saying in their meetings "Hey ya know we really need to stop Sean McDonald or were going to lose." They were keying in on Roy Williams and Calvin Johnson. What I'm saying is, the Bears don't have that luxury now. They don't have that one guy or two guys that you can throw out there and make teams really gameplan for. Also, McDonald had already been in Martz's system with the Rams for 4 or 5 seasons before he came to Detroit, so it wasn't like he came in learning a new offense. He was a guy that knew the system and that plays a part in it as well. What about Favre? Having great receivers play a part in making ordinary receivers better than they actually are (The quarterback also plays a large part in that as well.) Cutler made Eddie Royal into a borderline pro bowler in that Denver offense but I don't think that happens without Brandon Marshall. I really wouldn't put much stock into last nights game as a good example of anything. While Cutler had more time to make plays, there were still dropped passes by Sanzenbacher and Hester that should have been caught. Even Hester's touchdown pass looked bad. Did you see how he caught that thing like he was fielding a hand off? I don't know how he caught that ball. We saw this sort of play calling late last season when Martz went with more max protects and quicker reads to get the ball out of Cutler's hands. It worked for the most part but we still lacked explosiveness and we still struggled to score points on a consistent basis. Let's also not discount the fact that the Vikings are a dead dog team with a lackluster passing game that gets into huge deficits early in the game because of it. They play sort of the same Cover 2 scheme that we do on defense and that generally hasn't given our line as much problems as teams with a 3-4 defense or teams that run exotic blitz packages like the Saints and Packers. I want to see it against some of the best teams in the league and not the worst. Again, don't put much stock into a game against the Minnesota Vikings. Also, I don't think either of those guys would have been nearly as productive without Roy Williams or Calvin Johnson as security blankets. They certainly wouldn't have put up nearly as many points. Totally agree. I wouldn't mind spending a couple mid round picks on a tackle, a guard, or a center, or some combination between the 3. I personally feel like adding someone like Justin Blackmon, Alshon Jeffery, or Michael Floyd would impact this offense more so than another lineman. But I don't see any reason why we can't upgrade both in the same draft. Lets just spend our 1st round pick on a playmaker first and then build the line off of that.

Not really ESPN breaking news stuff. More speculation but thought it was worth bringing up. His only year that he was productive was with Cutler when he caught 91 passes for 980 yards. I don't see how it couldn't hurt to offer up a 7th round draft pick for the guy. I'd rather us go aggressively after Brandon Marshall but Eddie Royal would be an okay move imo. Thoughts?
