Sutton has flashed a few times on D.

Cutler has been very good for the most part.

Can the Bears please catch an injury break this year? Guess not. What is that, 4 guys now?

Conte did something that wasn't bad!

Got to convert redzone opportunities into TD's. Forte needs to catch that pass.

Garza was terrible last year, but 2 penalties and multiple low snaps already in Game 1 is inexcusable. I see they already benched him for De La Puente

Ahh there's Briggs looking the other way on a misdirection and Conte with the whiff. #Bears

Now the offense isn't getting any explosive plays.

The offense basically has to be perfect for the Bears to win some of these games this year. Turnovers are going to be their death sentence, because the defense can't stop anybody.

Typical Bears..

I like Willie Young.

Mel Tucker freakin sucks.

I would fire Trestman in a millsecond to get Harbaugh. The guy can coach. 3 straight NFC Championship appearances. Don't know what the exact issue are with him in SF, but if he gets fired and the Bears struggle for another year under Trestman, I'd have no second thoughts about reaching out to him.

Welcome to the NFL, rookie. He almost had a nice interception. It wasn't all bad. His poor tackling was on full display though, as was mentioned in his college scouting report. He was always more of a pass defender than a run stuffer.

I'll start with the Bears.. I've gone back and forth on this one all Summer. At first, I was thinking there was no way they could be worse than a 10 win team with the additions they made on the defensive line and the fact that the offense is in its 2nd year under Trestman. However, over the last several weeks, it has become readily apparent that this team may have more questions than I can ever remember a Bears team having in recent memory. -Do they have A LB'er? -Do they have any reliable safeties? -Do they have a punt returner? -Do they have a kickoff returner? -Can Jared Allen stay healthy and productive? -Will any of the rookie defensive players make an impact? -Can Jay Cutler actually stay on the field? -Where is the depth at TE? -Will the special teams (coverage unit) suck as much as they did last year and the pre-season? My prediction: 8-8 The first two questions should be a joke leading into the season, but the fact that it's not raises serious concern. The Bears may find out that they do not have a single quality NFL starting safety on their roster, and after last year's debacle, it's hard to fathom how or why this position was neglected as much as it was. Like-wise with the LB'er position. Briggs and DJ Williams both look old, and we don't know if Bostic or McCllelin can even play in this league. That is a scary thought-- to think the Bears may not have any quality players at the safety or LB'er position this year. That is a recipe for disaster. As for everybody else.. Division winners-- NFC North: Packers (11-5) NFC East: Eagles (10-6) NFC South: Saints (13-3) NFC West: Seahawks (13-3) Wildcard-- Cardinals (10-6) Falcons (10-6) Division winners-- AFC North: Bengals (10-6) AFC East: Patriots (12-4) AFC South: Colts (13-3) AFC West: Broncos (13-3) Wildcard-- Chiefs (10-6) Ravens (9-7) Super Bowl prediction: Seahawks def Broncos 41-27

Agree, 100%. I thought the way the season went last year, Trestman's seat deserved to get a little warm after basically costing his team 2 victories because of his decision making. He appears to have absolutely zero clue on defense, as evidence to his answers to the media everytime they ask him a question about defense, and also just because he kept Mel Tucker at the end of last year's debacle. I think he could be the offensive version of Lovie Smith. The Bears need a coach that knows how to do both. As far as I'm concerned, he's got this year to prove it or I'd seriously consider finding somebody else who can. Phil also needs to be on the hot seat after this year if the team misses the playoffs. With the exception of a few picks, his drafts have largely sucked, especially on defense. Not one difference maker. Not one!

What is this organization's infatuation with Kelvin Hayden? He has been an awful Bear.

If there was a battle between Washington, Lane, and Bass this pre-season, I think Bass may have slightly edged out Washington. He may be the last DE kept. I noticed they played him at DT some in this game. Could be a good sign.

That is a bit unsettling.

Good news. I hope he does. He has a lot of talent, just hope he's able to show something this week.

Has Christian Jones been cut yet? He hasn't done anything in pre-season. Was looking forward to him showing his potential.

Probably true. Might be a safe bet to assume Palmer doesn't get picked up anywhere else.

First real surprise cut, IMO. Are the Bears only going with 2 QB's on their roster this season? I'm assuming they will try and put Fales on the practice squad. I've never liked the idea of having only 2 QB's. The Bears got lucky last year that McCown didn't get hurt.

Sounds like somebody is just looking for a reason to start an argument.

Our incompetent special teams coordinator :/ Supposedly, the Bears signed McCray because he had a history with DeCamillis in Dallas, and the coach loved him, but he was suppose to be a special teams guy, not a starting safety.
