I'm fine with a franchise tag, but I think the Bears are in a situation where they almost have to keep him. He's one of maybe 3 or 4 players on this roster who is a young building block for our future. If you want to be like the Packers, the Packers keep their own guys.

Anybody catch the Antrell Rolle show on 670? He essentially called Kyle Fuller out on his work ethic, that he needs to study more film and be a professional. Really concerning stuff for a first round pick. Sounds like he just doesn't really care all that much. Either that, or he's just one of those guys that feels too sorry for himself that he's not playing well.

I've got Oakland as my surprise wildcard team this year, so I don't disagree. That said, it's probably the only winnable game they have on the schedule until after the bye. Fortunately, or not fortunately, I see them stockpiling a few wins at the end of the year when they play Washington, SF, and Tampa.

It's going to be chaos if they lose to Oakland.

Ouch

QB will forever and always be the most important, so when you have an opportunity to grab a potential franchise quarterback, you take it.

I would rather trade for RGIII.

Only way this is Cutler's last start as a Bear is if he's out for the season. The guy behind him is Jimmy freakin Clausen, not some young stud draft pick waiting for his opportunity. I'm also not completely convinced Cutler won't be the starter next year, even if they draft a QB with the first pick given the epidemic going on right now in college football with quarterbacks not even knowing what a cover 2 defense or a mike LB'er is.

The Bears are in NFL hell. One of the worst teams in the league with absolutely no young talent to be excited about. This is going to be a loooooooong rebuild. It's going to be a multiple year effort, and that's assuming the draft picks are good.

Idk.. If Cutler and Jeffery miss significant time, they very well could.

I'm gonna have to check out of this one. I can't take anymore of this. This team wouldn't win one game for as long as Cutler is out. That's how bad they are.

Looks like Cutler is out for the game..

What a freakin joke. Cardinals trying to give up free points and the Bears still can't make them pay.

Oh I don't think you would.

Less than 2 weeks into the season and in comes Jimmy Clausen. I don't care if they are bad this year, but please don't make me suffer through Jimmy Clausen..

This defense might not get another stop the rest of this game. Just unreal how bad they are at all positions.

I really love the play designs by Gase and this offense. Really refreshing to have coordinators that tailor gameplans based around their opponents.

This defense is just... so.. bad. I wish we had some real pass rushers. Everybody is so slow.

That may have been the slowest 108 yard kickoff return I've ever seen. Is that a TE running it back? Seriously??

According to Hub, Forte was ranked as the 38th best RB last week. Frankly, I think PFF grades are kind of garbage.

4-12, 5-11, here we come! Very good chance they start the year 0-3. Think we can officially label Alshon as injury prone now. Something is always bothering him..

I suppose it's possible he may have favored the other side of his body more, but he probably just isn't in game shape yet. He's been doing next to nothing for a month and then suddenly gets thrust into game action with only a few days of practice. Can't say I'm surprised this happened.

I've been advocating the Bears to draft a specialist ever since they got rid of Hester. They really need a game changer there.

The difference in the game was this: Bears: 1/3 in the redzone (33%) Packers: 4/5 in the redzone (80%) The Bears offense missed on some key opportunities that could have turned the game around, but our defense put up no resistance vs the Packer's offense. It was waaaaay too easy. The yardage stats don't tell the whole story. Yuu have to take time of possession into account, and the overall efficiency of GB. They had a lot of explosive plays and didn't need as many plays to score as Chicago did. For the eternal optimists, this is the gameplan the Cowboys ran with all of last season, and they got pants'd by SF in game 1 before winning 6 in a row. I highly doubt that will be the case here, but if the Bears can continue to run the ball like this, they are going to be in close games all year.

As far as one game goes-- Offense gets a thumbs up, defense gets a thumbs down. Pleasantly surprised with how well the Bears ran the ball despite seeing multiple 8 man fronts all game long. Really good scheming and execution by Adam Gase with the limited options he has. Defensively, the Bears got ZERO QB hits on Rodgers. Not a good first impression made by Fangio, but this team just doesn't have any talent. They need to win next week or they will be facing an 0-3 start right off the bat.
