Hahaha, aren't you the witty one? There are lots of guys who drop balls much less frequently than Knox, and who damn near never drop....Bennett is much closer coincidentally to such a status.

UK Bears fans, help me out, I cannot figure out what is going on with tickets. I went to the Ticketmaster site and they are selling only expensive, £300 plus packages and then there is Thomson, also selling packages, but how much are the bloody tickets going to cost alone and when do they go on sale?

Welcome, let the curses flow, we need some excitement around here!!!!!!!

Amen, I am really looking forward to the season, I think we could be really strong this year. Last year was a great one and this year could be better!

I like Knox but I just don't see him as a starter. To me he drops too many balls and is not strong enough to get off CB's, go across the middle, etc.... I am glad he is around but at this point feel we need a guy who never drops balls to be the starter.

Agree completely, Bennett is the best of the rest from last year as he is the most rounded receiver. Maybe Hester will develop, he certainly has the talent. I would hope that Forte will resign, he is a quality back.

Personally, I am glad that he is going as he has been clearly slowing down the last few years....sad to see him go, but it is time. And the new guy seems solid, which is more than one can say for Olin at times.

Great pick, very happy with getting a quality O Linesman. Best area to focus on is the O Line, we need to give Cutler more time and less damage if he is going to fulfil his potential.

I will be there! Yahoo!!!!!!! A dream come true....

Thanks Mad, I will pass on the suggestions!

Sorry to say that I don't know her that well, so not sure on either count. I would guess she is ready to spend some money, she is going to follow Route 66 apparently. Thanks for the suggestions Brian, I will pass them on.

Hi All, I know a young woman from the UK who is going to be visiting Chicago next month, any suggestions? Thanks!

I don't think one realises just how easy it is to do without the NFL until a stoppage comes along; like Tom I am old enough to remember the last one and it was amazing how quickly I found other things to do on Sundays, and other things to think about generally rather than the Bears, and that was with replacement players. I reckon the smarter of the respective groups involved in the strike know this full well but the more ignorant might have no idea. To be honest, I love the Bears, but there are many things I won't miss if there is no football...that being said, I hope that there is football next year.

The players better remember the last time they walked out and replacement teams went in, people started to forget about the "regular" players and also the popularity of the sport declined significantly. People will find other things to focus on if football disappears and it may be hard to get some of those people back after they do...

Who on this board has not been posting lately?

Here's betting that he will....

If we lose him he will go on to be successful somewhere else IMO....I hope we keep him.

Not far off from my wish list, which would be OT, DT, WR, OG, and then best athlete type picks...maybe a LB as some of ours are a getting a bit old.

AMEN!!! One good year, mainly due to a forced assistant coaching regime change, and we have Lovie for longer? Should have at least given him another year to prove himself, I am sure that no teams were waiting to snatch him up....

Agreed except for the safety position unless Manning cannot be resigned...if he is signed I think we are fine there with Major Wright working into the mix and starters Harris and Manning....let's get one or two O linesman, a nice DT, and a big target WR. I still think we could really use a quality WR...maybe even in FA?

Absolutely agree, Manning is underrated, Harris is solid, Wright is up and coming. Our corners are also a very solid group....let's get some O line and a big D tackle, maybe a WR too!

RIP DD, you will be remembered.

AMEN! I cannot imagine a more worthy HOF member, he has really been overlooked the last few years. CONGRATS RICHARD!

Not all who have wondered whether Cutler "pussed out" have realized they were wrong, I can assure you. Most may have gone quiet on this board but that does not mean that many are waiting, like me, to see what the future holds, after an incident which calls into question the fortitude of our QB. Personally, I hope time will prove me wrong... I could go on and on with alternative views and reasons but all know what they are and can decide for themselves. Keep in mind many get bored with defending what are very reasonable positions with obvious idiots who seem to have unending time to post on this and other boards.... I think we need a stud O linesman or two more than Fitz, and we can't have both. But, if we had to give up a bunch to get him, I would not be saddened.

HAHAHAHA, you must be kidding. This post is a perfect illustration of the anti-post, the I will disagree regardless of reality post. Le Beau vs Buddy Ryan? Can you say Earnhardt vs Labonte?
