October 4, 200916 yr comment_70270 Between Knox, Hester, and Manning we have some big time speed and throw in Bennet we have plenty of options at return Report
October 4, 200916 yr comment_70274 Finally! Just like I called for. Off-tackle, let Forte setup his blocks, and he's off to the races. If the Bears' inside running game is to be successful, then the outside running game must at least be utilized in order to thin out the DL. Report
October 4, 200916 yr comment_70275 That is amazing and hey if that gets him going and gets his confidence back then even better. Forte needed a few runs like that. And there's that Forte smile on the sidelines haven't seen that in a while Report
October 4, 200916 yr comment_70276 Knox is faster than Manning. But not by much. Yeah, 4.26 40. But for whatever reason when Manning runs he seems like he can outrun anybody in the league. It's like a powerful sprint haha. Report
October 4, 200916 yr comment_70278 that's the second time we got screwed on a bogus crack back block Report
October 4, 200916 yr comment_70279 Johnny Knox got hurt? When?! We can't afford to have both Hester and Knox out. Report
October 4, 200916 yr comment_70286 BTW - Both Wolfe runs were on plays in which it was unclear what the Bears would do. 2nd and 9 looks like a passing down most of the time. And 1st and goal is a crapshoot, especially considering the two TDs Cutler has today on play-action, roll-out plays. Report
October 4, 200916 yr comment_70288 Wolfe up the gut for the TD. Good call or not? I knew you would post that nonsense...which is why I already made the comment about down and distance. It's not the call, it's the situation and the call. Wolfe up the gut on 3rd and 1? Bad call because the D is expecting a run. Wolfe up the gut on 2nd and 9? Good call because the D doesn't know what to expect. The play doesn't exist in a vaccuum. Report

October 4, 200916 yr comment_70292 Bears WIN!!! we actually almost scored 50 points in a single game. I'm glad to see we didn't let them back in the game and held them to 3 points in the second half while scoring 27 second half points. The nice touch was two rushing TD's in the second half. Now wee see if Denver can beat a good team Report
October 4, 200916 yr comment_70294 lol sure bud. I'm sure they were expecting pass right there on 1st and goal with the game out of hand. Look at it this way genius... Did the Bears score? Yes. Therefore, the Lions have to expect that the Bears were planning on going for the TD, and not kneeling on the ball. Did the Bears have two similar situations earlier, in which Jay Cutler faked the run and rolled out for the easy pass to the TE? Yes. Therefore, the defense doesn't know what to expect, and has to respect the possibility of a play action roll out. Also, it was on first down. If Cutler were to roll out and nothing is there, he can throw it away. Therefore, it can be a run or a pass (with a safety net). If it's a third down and one, then the safety net is no longer there for the QB, and the likelihood of it being a run is much greater. Really, do you not understand this basic philosophy of offensive football? Report

I'm glad to see we didn't let them back in the game and held them to 3 points in the second half while scoring 27 second half points. The nice touch was two rushing TD's in the second half. Yessir. It was a good offensive game, set up by good special teams play, and some turnovers and sacks on defense. Report

October 4, 200916 yr comment_70298 Why are you so angry? Bears WIN No kidding, we win the game while scoring 48 pts and some people are still pissed. Hey we won, so lighten up. It doesn't matter who you beat or how you win just as long as you win. I said earlier that our defense plays better in the 2nd half and I was proven right once again. Report
October 4, 200916 yr comment_70299 Why are you so angry? Bears WIN I'm not angry, but I can't fathom why you don't seem to understand the difference between "that play is bad" and "that play is bad in that situation." I'm actually pretty psyched about the win...the Bears don't score like that normally. Cutler is really proving to be worth the deal. Report
