Don't they have Cassel? Who would want him? He is currently the lowest rated QB in the league this year, worse than Ponder, Geno Smith, and Weeden. Now that is bad.

Hold ball on kickoffs when it is too windy? To me, I just wonder why they waited so long. He has been pretty bad since Week 10 of last year with only one game with a QB Rating above 80.

Frey was all over vs PIT. You definitely noticed him. He could easily move into a starting CB job down the road if he keeps up his play.

I could see us as high as #3 and low as #5 behind NE and NO.

If you compare to how Fisher, Joke-l, Johnson, Fluker, and Pugh have fared so far, Long is a steal. Cooper is on IR, and the only other Rookie OL playing decent is Warmack. For the RoY, Bernard, Thompkins, and Vaccaro are in the mix.

Interesting that we have beat 2 teams that are 0-3, and GB's only win was against a 0-3 team. They also have their bye this week, which is really early. Minnesota gets 7 home games and 1 game in Europe this week (btw, great product we are sending to England, 2x 0-3 teams, lol). Skip Bayless called Cutler, Clutchler, lol.

What I like is that we are winning in different ways. Offense vs Offense, we are outscoring opponents 75-60 in 3 games. We have overcome some turnovers, and won without making any.

My observations: The Bears won The Bears are 3-0 Cutler's QBR is 78.1, 3rd best in NFL The Offensive Line passed another test playing against a 3-4 The Defense continues to produce, outscoring 6 teams this week The Bears won on the road in a hostile environment, in prime time We are undefeated and still have not played our best football

This is what I am tracking for next year: $18,183,333 - 2014 Salary $8,366,668 - Dead Money $9,816,665 - Savings So we would save almost $10 million by cutting him.

Sucks for us and him, as he was on the franchise tag. Collins has be playing really solid, so hopefully others will step up.

Only 5 NFC Teams with winning records after Week 3: SEA 3-0 NO 3-0 CHI 2-0 DAL 2-1 DET 2-1 and AFC has 10 teams, go figure (can have 11 if OAK wins): NE 3-0 KC 3-0 CIN 2-1 HOU 2-1 MIA 3-0 DEN 3-0 BAL 2-1 TEN 2-1 IND 2-1 BUF/NYJ 2-1 That Cincy win was huge, seeing how they played against GB.

I think we were 25 to 1.

I think it still has some leverage power since he was only drafted last year.

According to Sportscity, http://www.sportscity.com/nfl/salaries/chi...bears-salaries/ the Bears will have $86.3 committed in 2014/15 with Cutler, Melton, Tillman, Jennings, Hester, Gould, Garza, Wright, Wootton, Williams, Anderson, and Costanzo all coming off the books.

The Steelers have absolutely no running game, and their passing game is not that good either. I can't believe we are only favored by 2 or 2.5. When it is less than a FG, it is basically a pick'em. I say Bears 27-10.

Or keep TRich and still draft a QB with their original pick. The Colts are more than likely going to be a mid-20's pick. Though you can still get quality talent in that pick, there is no way that equals #3 from 2012. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but this trade seems fishy and would be contested in most Fantasy Football leagues as too lopsided.

Haven't they had that feeling for the last 20+ years? I thought with Weeden, TRich, Cameron, Gordon, they were starting to have a decent Offensive Corps to work from, and their defense was solid. To me, in Year 2, this doesn't make much sense. There is no way a late 2014 1st Rounder is going to equal the production of TRich over the same period. With rookie contracts under control, even from a financial perspective, this is confusing. It was reported that Cleveland initiated contact on the trade. Why not do this in the offseason, why now? I understand IND was in need of a RB, but there have to be a handful of teams that would've been willing to give up that type of pick to have TRich this soon after his rookie deal. Cleveland also had to pay the bulk of the bonuses, which makes the deal even better for Indy.

Even though it was in the same round, there is nothing similar about the Olsen trade and TRich trade. Olsen was not traded during the season, and was basically let go because of Martz. Carimi and Benson? Not even close. TRich had a great rookie year and was poised to have another solid year. He caught 51 balls last year as a rookie. He is crazy versatile and would fit in almost any offense. There is no way Cleveland is going to be better at any point in the next 5 years without TRich and with whoever they pick in the 20's with Indy's first round pick next year.

I don't think it is that complicated. It sounds to me that if the receiving team has a penalty on the play, the kicking team can either accept the penalty or decline which would invoke the first touching rule. The only time the kicking team would get the ball would be if the penalty resulted in a first down from the original line of scrimmage. That is why, even with a penalty, the kicking team would never get the ball at the point of the touching, subsequent recovery and fumble spot by receiving team, or have the ability to recover the ball after they touched if first.

Something just doesn't sound right.

So what are your general thoughts on the trade? I think Indy got a steal getting someone drafted that high for what is almost guaranteed to be a late 1st rounder. If Indy was looking for an RB, I am surprised a team like HOU (Foster/Tate) or BUF (Spiller/Jackson) were not in on this type of deal. Cleveland was already bad and just got a lot worse, so I don't know what their motivation was to pull the string on a deal like this now, especially if IND was the desperate team. Why not a 1st and a 3rd to compensate for the draft position? To me, the timing and value of the trade seem a little odd. I would be pissed if the Bears did something like this, especially if the return value is almost assuredly not going to be as much as what you lost.

Sounds good to me, looks like Defensive starters and Offensive depth is the plan. I guess we will have to see what Trestman's offense evolves into over the course of the year to determine if another TE is needed. I think we definitely need to address the Secondary with two of the first few picks (S and CB).

I don't think the call was necessarily bad except for the Maneri route, a throw to the center of the field that close has to go back to the edge of the end zone. You can't blame Cutler for getting the ball tipped since there was no room to put touch on the ball, however, he probably should've just thrown it away instead of risking a turnover.

Just shows how shell shocked he really was, and Long and Mills are looking more and more like a steals everyday.

Cutler's QB Rating thru 2 games - 95.4, 10th in the League, ahead of the likes of Romo, Schaub, RG3, Brees, Kaepernick, Flacco, E. Manning, Big Ben, and Brady. Cutler's QBR - 71.8, 6th in the league, only behind P. Manning, Rivers, Luck, Ryan, and Rodgers. Some pretty good company.
