Freaking sweet. I continue to have faith and cheer like hell for Rexy. Lets hope he can come out again on Sunday and play good football!!!!

BEARDOWN BABY...LETS DO THIS THING!!!!

I think Tillman is the better all around corner while Vasher is a bit better of a play-maker. Personally I think both will be Bears for a long time with us eventually developing Hester as the nickel back (but we have time as Manning will be here another couple years). I like our secondary, its just a matter of finding a legit safety since Mike Brown has proven to be too much of a health risk.

Lets do this. Smash mouth football, the ocassional play action and down field pass, and some defense and forced turnovers. It all starts with Seattle!!!!

Rexy is gonna be bringing back Sexy!!!!!

I really think thats why we've seen such a hot and cold Grossman. Turner's game calling has been either very good or absolutely god awful and there really has been no middle ground. Basically put if his initial plan works, brilliant, but if it doesn't we've had a hard time making adjustments and succeeding in the game (although in the Giants game we did stick with the game plan and things ended up working alright despite early struggles).

If the Bears can win, we will likely be in good shape and be favorites to actually retain our entire staff. I am surprised that Ron is getting head coaching calls considering the way our offense has collapsed the 2nd part of the season (than again so has our defense). Lets just hope these guys improve there coaching resume's these next few weekends by getting some playoff wins and by doing so Bears fans will be happy because the team is on its way to the big game and the front office will be happy because other teams will have probably made there decisions and went with head coaches (the only exceptoin being Al Davis, who may wait till preseason considering how slowly the Raiders look, but I can't see either of the Rons taking that pathetic job). Just think about how much of a bargain Smith was (lowest paid HC in the league). That will all change though and I think the two have already agreed to an extension and my guess is we are talking about 4yr 20-24 million.

Give Benson and Jones 32+ carries, Grossman has 2 turnovers or less, and I say its 24-14 Bears.

Welcome aboard. Great to have another Bear fan here. If all goes right this week, you very well could have a lot of talk with your buddies about a potential Bears/Saints matchup. Of course first we need to take care of business against the Hawks and all I care about is the Bears doing there thing and playing well. We do that and I am 100% confident in our squad. If we try to get cute and make mistakes, we are toast.

I was probably one of the people who didn't hate Shoop. I'm not saying Shoop was a great coordinator but I liked his overall game plan and I think he did a decent job without any talent, however, the guy is not near ready to be a head coach. That said I would have had no problem with Shoop running things here because we would have seen 30-40 carries a game out of our backs, a lot of screen passes (to our backs), tons of play action and maybe a few deep balls (with Grossman's arm I can't see how we wouldn't have tried it). And quite frankly I consider that the perfect offensive game plan for our squad. Turner on the other hand relies on the pass to charge our offense and considering we have a young QB (prone to mistakes) and play in the cold, its just not a good combo. And I can't put any blame on Shoop for what happened in Oakland. That entire place is a total mess.

If they overlook a team in the playoffs two years in a row, these guys should all be axed. Note: I'm not saying we fire them just cause we lose, rather if we go in over-cocky and lose because of that (like we did to Carolina) than that would be inexcuseable.

Ditto and for the last half or so of the season we have done all we can to lose games.

My guess is Vasher would play today if we really needed him. He is listed as questionable and I'm assuming we'll sit him again this week and than give him a little bit of action on the last week of the season just as a prep towards the playoffs (where he'll get another week off during our bye week). Aside from Tommie and Brown, barring on major injuries (knock on wood) we'd have all of our other guys ready and able.

There was an interesting read talking about how Hester's mistakes pretty much lead to TD Galloway had. That because of it there was a guy out of the position which mean Manning had to cover and as a result Manning Jr was covering as well and it left us defenseless against that pass. Than on the second one, Manning missed his bump and it led directly to the last TD.

My question is where was Michael Vick. I could see people not giving it to Grossman based on a few awful games, but Vick has nearly 1000 rushing yards and 19 TD passes. How the heck does he not get the nod over Tony Romo and what would be 10 total starts (if he starts the next two games).

I'd be shocked if Tank ended up doing any jail time for this incident.

If there are a lot of injuries I don't know about fine, I completely understand. These guys shouldn't get hurt, that said I think it would have a minor impact on the game as the refs would likely be even more involved in the actual plays.

Hester got a lot of hype after a week but I have continued to say he still needs to become more mature in this league and one of the things he definately has to do is get better at protecting the football. Lets not forget this guy got benched during one game this year for fumblitis.

Have the Bears ever franchised a guy? If we did the only person I could even think of would be Spellman. I know they gave Raymont Harris the transitional tag a number of years ago, but overall the Bears pretty much stay completely away from using this "tags". That said we if we Franchise him and have the cap room this year to do it we can either lock him down, trade him, or just keep him for a year and than let him walk (either way it puts us better prepared). However, I still wonder how we are going to sign guys like Tillman (although he may still have a few more years left since he already has signed one extension...the guy is our best CB by far), Vasher, Tommie Harris (we'll have to find out how he recovers first, imo), and Rexy.

I closed this thread since a ruling has been made. I figure all future discussion can occur there.

Thats awesome. I wonder who will ultimately replace Harris. Ya, I think its a total joke that Romo made it into the pro bowl considering he wasn't even a starter until a good chunk into the season. I think since than Romo has been a probowl caliber QB (although he's had some rough games) but by no means do I think he's deserving of being in the probowl.

It is official, the Chicago Bears have announced they are suspending Tank Johnson for the Lions game for ignoring the message the Bears sent to him following the raid that ultimately led to the death of Johnson's best friend Posey. I originally thought I would be against such a move, but Johnson appears to have shown a lot of remorse and really was an adult of the situation. Angelo/Smith reported how Johnson came to them with a list of life choices that he needs to change and from the sounds of it, it was that type of admittion he made a mistake/remorse that led to the Bears keeping him as opposed to cutting him. In the past Lovie was involved in a choice like this with the Rams Leanord Little and Leanord has turned into one of the better guys in the league. We can only hope that Tank will respond positively to the 2nd chance he gets.

Clark kicked serious butt tonight and Rex did a great job finding him and getting him the ball.

Ya, it was so cool to hear the Moose chant when he'd make a big play and just all the Bears fans in general. Gosh this has been a fun year so far and I hope the the funnest part doesn't happen till Miami

Devin has done some amazing things and Anderson has been a tremendous pass rusher. But I don't think either has played enough to warrant being rookies of the year on either side of the ball. The fact of the matter is that Reggie Bush has been a very very key player. He's been huge in the city and on the football field. Colston would be my runner up, but I think the impact Bush brought to the team (his winning attitude and play-making ability) along with the Brees and Payton are the reason this team has really turned around.
