"I just pushed the dude, and I shouldn't have," McGowan said. "I just felt like hitting somebody." WHAT??? That is completely unacceptable and shows no disipline. Bench this most of the time out of position clown.

Therefore Lovie Smith as it is his OC choice.

I predict Kevin Jones has a big game.

"All I'm saying is you don't get as banged up as we are laying around in lawn chairs." They didn't possibly get banged up in those preseason games they played.

BUCS SEND BUENNING TO BEARS Posted by Mike Florio on September 2, 2008, 4:47 p.m. On the same day that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers brought back center/guard Sean Mahan via a trade with the Steelers, the Bucs sent guard Dan Buenning to the Chicago Bears. Buenning was a fourth-round draft pick of the Bucs in 2005, and he is signed through 2009. His salaries are $800,000 this year and $545,000 in 2009. In return, the Bucs received an undisclosed 2009 draft pick.

He is the Road Warrior Animal's son

Ya nevermind the fact he was the 24th ranked QB in the NFL. Rex didn't carry this team as some people seem to want to believe. With the field position the defense and Hester gave him all season he should have had an even better season with such a short field to work with. An NFL STARTER quality QB would have. We unfortunately have a team of Career backups or unknowns at the position due to managment blind supporting of players that handcuffed the team for the last 6 plus years. http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?arc...e&Submit=Go

Cya Thugerella don't let the laptop hit you upside your head on the way out of town or Denny's....

I know I just wanted to state the obvious for some in Rex's koolaid house of horrors

"At least he got us to the Super Bowl....." Funny I thought the Defense, and the running game got us there....

Running game showing signs of improvement By Bob LeGere | Daily Herald StaffContact writerPublished: 8/25/2008 12:03 AMSend To: The Bears' 109 rushing yards (on 22 carries) against the San Francisco 49ers wasn't spectacular, but it was a big improvement over the previous week's 51 yards on 20 carries. Most important, it stanched the pass rush that overwhelmed the Bears against Seattle. "I think it definitely helped," offensive coordinator Ron Turner said. "(Against the Seahawks) we came out and threw it a lot early. Even though we had a couple runs called, we audibled to a couple passes because of bad looks. But (against the 49ers) we came out and ran the ball, and you ask any offensive lineman anywhere, and that's what they want to do. They want to have a chance to come out and run the ball and get after people a little bit and get a feel for the flow of the game, and I thought they did." The Bears are averaging 4.7 yards per rush, compared to last preseason's 2.7, but they have been outgained on the ground 484-335, although they've had just 71 running plays to their opponents' 105. He's all that: Kyle Orton is usually considered an adept manager of games and a proficient high-percentage passer, but he showed more ability to stretch the field last week, completing passes of 55 yards to Mark Bradley, 23 and 21 yards to Rashied Davis and 18 yards to tight end Greg Olsen. "He manages the game very well, and that's not a negative; there's nothing wrong with that," offensive coordinator Ron Turner said. "But he's not just a game manager. His rookie year when he came in, obviously the package we had for him was limited, and with our defense and special teams we asked him basically to do that for the most part. But he is so much better of a quarterback than that. It's a positive that he does manage the game and has great presence and football intelligence, but he can do much more than that." Dog days: It sounded a bit odd when 25-year-old defensive tackle Tommie Harris referred to himself as old after the third preseason game, but he explained. "I am old," he said. "I play in the trenches, dude. That's (like) dog years." First cuts: Although NFL rosters don't have to be trimmed to 75 until Tuesday, the Bears got down to that number Sunday by waiving safety Josh Gattis, wide receivers Marcus Monk and Ryan Grice-Mullen and cornerback Leslie Majors. Gattis, a fifth-round draft pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2007, was cut by them in the preseason and signed by the Bears. He played on special teams in four games last season and spent three weeks on on the practice squad. Monk, a seventh-round pick this year out of Arkansas, had 1 catch for 14 yards in the preseason. Majors, a Thornwood High School graduate, was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Indiana. Grice-Mullen was originally signed by the Texans as an undrafted free agent but released in the off-season. He was signed by the Bears on the second day of

LB McGlover had a good game as well. He was all over the field.

This team reminds me so much of the pathetic Bucs teams when they were in the NFC and Angelo was part of them, they had good to great defenses but horrible offensive talent. This team has no offensive line depth and major question marks on the left side (blind side) of the line, abosulutely no proven top notch wide receivers, No proven quality QB's. The only thing we do have is an abundence of possible top notch RB's in Forte and Jones.

starting to get that same Wanny feeling myself...

Not to mention the fact that D Manning, our nickel back, NOT THE STARTING CORNER, returned kicks in college.

We are going to be lucky it's not career ending. back injuries like this often times don't ever heal 100% and he may have chronic back issues the rest of his life and may in fact have to retire if it is bad enough. This is bad news

But Grossman had the full playbook to work with and Orton only had the dummies guide to playbooks version. I just hope the light goes on for one of them and we actually have an NFL quality QB this year.

Grossman averages 1.34 turnovers per game played and Orton averages 1.11 turnovers per game in the NFL at this point.

Wouldn't that be the same arguement on the NFL level as well as Orton was given a dummied down offense to work with up until the end of last season, while Grossman was given the full playbook to work with?

The 60.7% completion percentage with 3090 yards. He must have skip passed those 31 tds to his receivers. Oh and he was so innaccurate he threw 5 whole ints. Where the mighty Rex Grossman's best college season he had a super accurate completion percentage of 54.6% with 3193 yards. His 23 Td's to 20 Int's shows his superior accuracy as well. However, the individual I was thinking of in regards to the injury was Drew Brees.

Oh you mean the high school qb that was a serious consideration for the Heisman before he got hurt against the Badgers?

Packers just placed him on the non football injury list

The only person I saw that had the same kind of fumbling issues in a Bears uniform was David Krieg, and isn't he the alltime fumble leader for qb's? Or if not pretty close. I'm not saying, I'm just saying....

Beekman may be their answer to Bustcalf
