I think we made a mistake by not resigning Hester. cutting Bennett and signing Hixon was good but we should have cut Weems and kept Hester. We could use him as the 5th WR to make the run plays that Jeffery does to limit Jeffery from getting hurt. .Think about Marshall...Jeffrey. ..Wilson...Hixon....Hester as the top five and Williams as the 6th WR/PR...you have hands...height and speed

Yes its true......damn!!!!!!!

First of all nice ass.....uuuummmm picture.....lol...but i would pass he stays hurt way too much

http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post...velopment-coach The Bears hired martial arts expert Joe Kim to be a skill development coach for the 2014 season Kim will work with all of the Bears' position groups on enhancing their use of hands when blocking or escaping blocks, per the source.

I really cant understand your point. Im a black man and a die hard bears fan born and raised in Chitown. I love the Cubs, Whitesox, Blackhawks,The bears, The Bulls and any teams that comes from the Chi. I am a retired military man so i have been through all kinds of opinions, different attitudes and viewpoints from many different races. I have posted on this board many times with the guys here making my views look silly with their counterpoints to what i post......Jason on this board really kills me but I enjoy him and his views and the views of others. At no time have I been made to feel unwanted. You must remember this is a board of free speech from whoever is here.....i think you just need to get thicker skin or maybe select your posts more carefully. These guys were sending me things when I was in the Iraq war so my love is with the family here of Bear fans.

IMHO if Tillman comes back it wont be as a safety, my thinking is with our D getting older and how bad they played last at safety ........RD1 or RD2 will be a pick at that position

News flash came across the screen....Tillman wants to test the market as a FA. Do you think this is another Urlacher move?

Below is a list of the top 25 free agents that might be on the market on March 11. Who do you think should be the best fit for our defense and maybe the offense too. My picks are in BOLD 1. Jimmy Graham, New Orleans Saints tight end 2. Greg Hardy, Carolina Panthers defensive end 3. Brian Orakpo, Washington Redskins linebacker 4. Jairus Byrd, Buffalo Bills safety 5. T.J. Ward, Cleveland Browns safety 6. Alterraun Verner, Tennessee Titans cornerback 7. Branden Albert, Kansas City Chiefs left tackle 8. Michael Johnson, Cincinnati Bengals defensive end 9. Lamarr Houston, Oakland Raiders defensive end 10. Brent Grimes, Miami Dolphins cornerback 11. Eugene Monroe, Baltimore Ravens left tackle 12. Vontae Davis, Indianapolis Colts cornerback 13. Linval Joseph, New York Giants defensive tackle 14. Jason Hatcher, Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle 15. Jared Veldheer, Oakland Raiders left tackle 16. Aqib Talib, New England Patriots cornerback 17. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Denver Broncos cornerback 18. Alex Mack, Cleveland Browns center 19. Eric Decker, Denver Broncos wide receiver 20. Michael Bennett, Seattle Seahawks defensive end 21. B.J. Raji, Green Bay Packers defensive tackle 22. Sam Shields, Green Bay Packers cornerback 23. Walter Thurmond, Seattle Seahawks cornerback 24. Donald Butler, San Diego Chargers linebacker 25. Randy Starks, Miami Dolphins defensive tackle

The New York Giants didn't go with the familiar name for their offensive coordinator position.The team announced Tuesday that Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Ben McAdoo is their new leader on offense. So does that weaken the Packers? Bears free agent defensive end Corey Wootton recently had arthroscopic hip surgery to correct a problem that had caused the four-year NFL veteran discomfort for the past two years, this according to a press release issued on Monday by Adventist Hinsdale Hospital, the location where Wootton underwent the procedure sometime last week. Does this make him a better player next year? The Detroit Lions hired Baltimore offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell to be their 26th head coach in team history on Tuesday. Detroit moved quickly on Caldwell after Ken Whisenhunt signed with the Titans. Does this make them better or worse since Whisenhunt signed elsewhere? Vikings still don't have a clue, Mike Zimmer remains the front-runner to fill the Vikings vacant head-coaching position. Mike Zimmer is meeting with the Vikings for the second time. Can he make that team better?

With better players you get better results. If we had a faster FS we could have made more tackles and passes broken up...how many times did you see Conte a step late on pass coverage. Hell in the last game against Green Bay he missed and INT that would have sealed the game and had a blown coverage that gave the game to the Packers. The bottom line is the players play the game...coaches just put them in the positions to win. If the coach tells a player over and over to go 10 steps and make a left...and the players goes 15 steps and makes a right....is that the fault of the coach or the player. They preach stay in your gaps to the D line......they preach fill your gaps and read your keys to the LB's and stay with your man to the secondary and stay deeped than the deepest man.....but does this happen every play....no they do what they feel is going to make a play. Down and distance is taught by the coaches...but how many times when its 3rd and three the DB is playing 7 yards off the ball thus allowing the inside slant for a first down?

It seems like our posters want to blame Tucker and our coaches for our bad defense this year....but slow down not so fast. There is a saying that coaches coach players play. Missed tackles.......blown coverages.....dropped balls........and poor angles.....and injuries are not on the coach. Having starters go down with rookies and players that are not very good as back ups will kill any defense.

http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...challenges-in-2 2014.html 2014 Bears OPPONENTS bold are the wins that i think we will have with a better defense this year HOME: Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins AWAY: Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots, New York Jets

At this point the ones in bold i would sign today....the rest are up for debate, The potential free agents include James Anderson, Zackary Bowman, Nate Collins, Roberto Garza, Devin Hester, Patrick Mannelly, Henry Melton, Josh McCown, Jeremiah Ratliff, Charles Tillman, D.J. Williams, Corey Wootton and Major Wright. The others are Taylor Boggs, Eben Britton, Landon Cohen, Blake Costanzo, Kelvin Hayden, Derrick Martin, Sherrick McManis, Jordan Palmer, Dante Rosario, Jonathan Scott, Craig Steltz and Anthony Walters.

So we signed Cutler,Gould,Jennings and Slauson and will sign more shortly....as for needs who do we get with the first pick? I think it will or should be a FS or SS. All our secondary are FA ( Waters, Tillman, Wright, Steltz, Bowman, Hayden) and Conte is just not cutting it

Yes we need to keep him until after the draft/FA to see if we can a good DE....if we cant or don't then offer him a restructured contract.

I really think we have a good chance next year if we upgrade the D in the off season. Buf, Mia, NYJ, TB are teams that don't scare me....NO and DAL cant play in the cold or outside....so SF and NE are the only real threats...the north still has the Pack to deal with....Lions and Vikes will have new coaches ans AT we can beatare one trick ponies that

I dont know why you want to fire Tucker....did he play in the game? Hell he can only do so much coaching......its the players that have the chore of being where you are supposed to be in coverage....fall on the dead ball like we preach in practice......run to the ball to limit extra yards. We dont really have starting safeties on this team we have two back ups at best which is why we lost

No im not taking Mel side but with the Jags he never had really great players to start with so his defense there was always bad. We started off with a 3-0 record and our d was getting it done....then we started to get the injury bug and we have some OLDER players and our rookies are not up to speed.... to me (Greene)was a wasted pick..Conte cant take a good angle to save his live....Wright is always out of position...Peppers is getting OLD. Shea looks lost every play, but we are going to win with the Fab Five... Cutler,Forte,Bennett (TE) Marshall & Jeffery

One down and a lot to go

No im back in the states right now.....but yes Jeffery and Marshall with Bennett are tearing it up. They should be used a little more in the red zone is the only problem i have

PLAYOFFS START SUNDAY!!!! Now we start our first payoff game at home with the Packers. I think we win this game for a few reasons. 1. We are at home 2. Its lose or go home 3. Cutler has a real reason to be motivated to win since the last NFC North Champ game we lost, also this is make or break for Cutler as far as contract goes. Hopefully he can pull a Flacco like last 4. Rodgers will be back.....but will be gun shy and rusty, Lacy is banged up, Matthews, Jolly are out and Briggs is back 5. Everyone is picking the Packers.....fueling the pissed off mentality the Bears should have to prove them wrong. One question....if we win and the Cowboys win do we get the #3 seed since we beat them?

So its almost that time...we have 27 free agents this year with a lot of one year contracts. So in the best interest for the team ...who do we resign and who do we let walk? Quarterback: Jay Cutler Jordan Palmer Josh McCown Running Backs Tony Fiammetta Wide Receivers: Devin Hester Tight Ends: Dante Rosario Offensive Tackles: Jonathan Scott Guards: Matt Slauson Eben Britton Centers: Roberto Garza Defensive Ends: Corey Wootton Defensive Tackles: Nate Collins Henry Melton Jay Radcliff Outside Linebackers James Anderson CHI Inside Linebackers DJ Williams Blake Costanzo Larry Grant Cornerbacks: Charles Tillman Tim Jennings Kelvin Hayden Zack Bowman Sherrick McManis Safeties: Major Wright Anthony Walters Craig Steltz Kickers: Robbie Gould

If we beat the Packers we are in the first round of the playoffs. Our first game will be at home against either four of the warm weather teams the 49ers,Panthers, Saints or the Cardinals depends on this last weeks games. I like us at home against any one of these teams in the cold.

hi If we beat he Packers we are in the playoff......with the first wildcard game at home......i'll take it

First i want to say you can blame coaches all you want....but they coach not play.......if a player doesn't do what the coaches preach then its not the fault of the coach. Outside of the injuries, poor angles , bad tackling, and gap discipline are all on the players.If we have sub par players and they are screwing up you bench them.....how who we have as back ups to those players is the problem we have....no starting talent as back ups on defense..we have rookies starting as LB'S D line has DE as DT secondary beat up with no talent other than Jennings and Tillman,,,with that you are asking for a sorry defense
