OK, I'm freakin' geeked Last ergular season gaem, playoffs on the line... GO BEARS!!!!!

I hope you're right Chile!

Maybe letting Brown go has a silver lining. I don't expect the team to re-sign him, so I tried thinking of how it could be of some benefit. 1. Payne moves to a better suited spot 2. W/O Brown masking our ineptitude and being the sole player with any guts and emotion it seems, maybe the house of cards comes crashing down faster. THis team is in sore need of a true leader w no Mike Brown. So someone will either have to step up, or we comes crashing down and find someone in the draft.

I think NY will beat Minny. Probably 28 to 14. I see Minny choking again. Unfortunately, I see us choking too. We played awful at home last game and there's really nothing that make me think it'll turn around agasint a decent Houston team. I think it'll be close though. HOU 27 CHI 24 We have it in us to kick butt...but we really haven't seen it all year. Will we see it now?

Only one thought... GET HIM!!!

Merry Christmas!

Glad to see the nice visual aids again Grouchy! We nned Housh...and an OL somewhere. I think the rest can be had in the draft.

Well said...

I know! Just roll with me trying to discredit him...

BigDaddy, Spot freakin' on!

Thanks again for running the pickems again Pix! Have a great holiday season! Go Bears!

Jacobs and any oher injured guy will be sat, but everyone should play and play hard. My buddy is a big NYG fan, and is convinced they will play hard and want to win to keep momentum. He is expecting victory and says they usually kick butt when they are the underdog... Go Giants!

Fair enough! I do and don't want Chico. Bears with me as a waffle a bit! Why I would want Ron... 1. He's a former Bear tied to extreme success. 2. He's had great success here already 3. While not a firecracker on the sidelines, it has been reported that he lights a fire under the team during the week of practice. 4. He has a great defensive mind, tutored under some of the best D minds...ever. Why I have my reservations... 1. He'd be our 3rd D coordinator hied to do the HC job...thus leaving a big question on O 2. Some bridges were burned when he was not re-upped, but maybe they can be repaired. 3. He has no HC experience 4. How did he not get sniffs as a HC when we let him go? Overall, I'd take Ron in a heartbeat. But after much reading, etc...I'm actually becoming more intruiged with Toub. I like the element that ST carries over too all sides of the game, and also fmiliarizes the coach with all players. Not saying I'd take Toub over Chico...but I'd sure as heck consider it. With Rivera's personality, while still reserved compared to Ditka...when compared to Smith. He is like an atom bomb compared to a pop rock.

Who is this Davis guy again? Is that the clown that keeps dropping passes for us?

Agreed. He hit the wall hard. I really thought he'd add some veteran savvy. Man was I wrong about that...

I don't think Smith's gotten the most out of his players, I don't think Jauron did either... 2 failed experiments with laid back guys I kind of think makes having one with a little more emotion a ittle more desirable to as least a large chunk of the fan base... Especially when our greatest success came from such temptaments (GSH and Ditka). Yes, we all know that firey and winning don't always correlate. But when you call heads every time and lose, you're bound to want to call tails next time...

Probably not, but if what he was saying was so greivous, I would bet some player would say that Hampton hasn't been in the locker room, etc...

Those 2 points pretty much speak volumes... Ineptness on O and on D.

RM may find himself in Tampa with Kiffen gone. I just don't see any changes on the horizon. Smith and company will ride the winning record (whether 10-6 or 9-7) as a sign that we'd be there if only better "execution" occurred. While there is truth to that, the record covers up some major coaching error and blunders from all involved. And if we can make the playoffs, there's no chance for any changes...

True enough, but I simply put more credence into one's opinion's who has direct knowledge. He's been there before, and he more than likely has some access or contacts within the organization. Otherwise you'd be hearing someone from the Bears team or management scream bloody murder that Hampton is dead wrong... The quiet on that front speaks volumes. ...and in all honesty, what comments invloving pro football aren't subjective other than a rattling off of pure stats?

Great points! ...and thanks for harassing Crosby!

Agreed. Which is why Ray Lewis is going to the Hall of Fame and Urlacher, to the hall of very good...

Nah. By virtue of what Atlanta and Miami have done, they had even lower expectations than the Bears. All your points are basically true, but don't exceed what's been done in MIA and ATL... However, by virtue that you mention all this, it basically helps prove my point that nothing will happen with this staff in the off-season..."We just needed to execute better. Trust me."

Sold!

If we make the playoffs, I don't think any changes are made...
