ASHKUM BEAR

The Bears were only asking for help with roads. I dont know how the state cant accept those terms. Looks like Indiana is more than willing, they are also a smart state and you see manufacturing up and down the highways. Illinois is a graveyard compared.

The Bears will eventually fade like KC once Caleb gets paid. Unless they can hit on draft picks every time at the right rythem. When I suggest trading a beloved Bear star, it is because there are rising younger players at their position and while their value is still modestly good for our beloved, we could get more in return now. The Bears need 2 starting caliber DTs, one DE, one or two S, one or two LBs, and a CB. They have extra WRs and maybe a TE that can replaced with younger/cheaper. 3 or 4 defensive starters might be draft picks, but they will also need some veterans that fit. Not much in the bank unless they can find some teams to trade with. Its just my thought on how to logically do this. Kmet is one of my favorites, so I would love him to retire a Bear. But sometimes tough decisions need to be made.

I was at Favres last game, Dec 21 2010. The Dome collapsed and the game was moved to Golpher Stadium. Seats were first come first serve, I was 7 rows up, 15 yd line behind Bears bench. Corey Wooten sacked Favre and he never got up. I was also at Soldier Field Dec 29 2009 when the Bears beat the crap out of Favre as a Viking.

They will start dumping resources that way this offseason, and if they can shed a DJ or Kmet, don't be shocked. Sure having them is great and keeps continuity, but there are a lot of holes on that D that draft picks cant fill.

I hate it, but if they bid more than the cable networks, what can you do. It feels the market is forcing every one to streaming one way or another.

All you haters better believe now. Just kidding, we f@cking beat GB twice! Whatever happenes next week, I am happy we are knocking on doors.

Matt Ryan and Ryan Poles played at Boston College together. Ive heard the rumor of Atlanta trading for Poles and the Bears promote Ian.

I wonder how that really happened, coaching adjusting his form or off a performance enhancer? Little digging, college uses a different formation and the punter usually gets extra steps because they slide right or left.

Hightower just sitting in the corner with a grin... talk bears has shifted to someone else. I think the Bears brass know they didnt care about the D as much as putting all the resources around Caleb. If you dont develop him nothing else really matters. Caleb has shown he can be the franchise, so they can shift the focus on building a defense. With Sweat/Booker, I wouldn't be surprised if back to back DTs are taken early. A Safety and LB with speed have to be in the mix as well and of course a DE. DEs: Sweat, Dayo, Booker, Turner (in mix). Since we have 2 getting paid and 2 young, I can see a later round prospect taken if a guy not there round 1.

Burden, Odunze, Walker, Loveland, and Monongai are a good core to go forward with. Id keep Kmet and find the best way to move Moore with the least amount of dead cap hit. On D, wonder if Raiders would take Sweat as part of a Crosby trade. They need a different D next season.

I seen that shortly after. Well, 2nd seed has its perk if they can pull another miracle.

Dont think they play the pack.

Billings 2 false starts hurt, DBs with no speed to cover, and yes no one able to pressure. The defense needs an overhaul. I hope Poles is creative to get this phase done.

Defense needs to step it up once more. Sucks they bumbled that drive.

Right, why do they wait until the 4th to play. Damn
