Official Chicago Bears Thread

I'm glad they brought Hester with that extension, but he's going to have to be a better receiver in order to earn all of that money.

[BullsFan45]

ya i think they should have put more incentives and lower the overall salerie cus who knows he might be a crappy reciver and the where paying him 30mil to return kicks

[Mild Sauce]

Yeah, that's true, but he's still the MVP of that team. His kickoff returns are the only reason the Bears ever score really. However, remember when Hall was the best kick returner out there? Now I don't even know if he still returns kicks.

[Jason Rubin]

WOOHOO!!!!!  DA BEARS!!!

Cue the Superfans.

Forte looked pretty good out there.  The Colts o-line, not so much.  They miss Saturday.

*** YOU Greg Olsen you no talent wussy *** piece of *** ***. Can't even hold onto the *** ball, two *** fumbles in one game? You suck *** you waste of *** sperm. YOu should go join Cedric Benson in prison you *** ***.

I hope he reads that.

[BullsFan45]

4 real he lost us the game

[GMJames]

Carolina does have a good defense and the Bears set on their lead too long. Olsen didn't help. And neither did some of those play calls. Like not giving it to Forte on 4th down. Or the fact Orton can't hit the side of a barn beyond 15 yards. I sat there on draft night and was shocked the Bears didn't trade to draft Chad Henne from Michigan.  I watched Henne in the Miami game and just thought how Dumb the Bears were. The fact still remains, We need a QB that can make plays. Rex Grossman will start again this season and suck just like always. The Bears still have not addressed their biggest weakness. QB.

[A11 1N]

DAM IT, how the F#^K does he drop that pass? He was wide friggin open down the middle. Dam it, we should be 3-0.

[Mild Sauce]

I really blame the defense just as much as I blame the offense for this one.

[A11 1N]

I really blame the defense just as much as I blame the offense for this one.

Yeah that is true. They had the takeaways but they just did not get the key stops on that last drive. I understand you need to cover the sidelines and force passes up the middle but you cannot leave the middle WIDE open. They were picking up 20 yards per pass in the last minute of regulation.

[GMJames]

The Bears are Defense, They always have been and always will. Their Defense has to be stellar for them to be successful. And they need a QB that can make plays and run the offense which is based on alot of running the football.

[Mild Sauce]

I still can't believe that he threw the ball something like 67 times without being sacked once. I'm sorry, but from a team that depends on its defense, that's beyond unacceptable.

[GMJames]

After ever season I always look at where they are. I am not going to focus on the egg they laid in Houston.

Thou, Kyle Orton proved he is a better option at Quarterback then Rex Grossman, He is far from a play maker in the NFL. That needs to be addressed before next year. Signing him to another one year deal could work if they find a legit starter for the position. Wheather that is a free agent or a Rookie  or both they will have to decide. I would go with both drafting a QB in the third or forth round and signing a free agent. But no matter what Rex needs to have his R dropped and become ex-Bear.

Alot of press on how the defense's stats are down. I blame alot of that of the offense and the fact the defense is on the field 3/4 of the game. But there also needs to be improvements in the secondary and a decision on weather Mike Brown spends enough productive time on the field.

Matt Forte is a hopeful addition to the running game, but most teams now a days play two backs. So a second running back is a big need. Their recent super bowl team even had two backs which they gave up on for Benson. I am sure they are kicking thierselves still on that one. So Forte needs help.

Their offensive line is a rusty fence and using a first round pick on a guy that didn't even play this year was questionable. I guess we'll see what Chris Williams can do next year. But I would still use a 1st or 2nd to get another legit young lineman.

Benard Berrian made the playoffs, and the Bears trully missed him. I would like to see them go after a wide reciever in the 1st or 2nd round of the draft. And use Hester the same way New England uses Welker. As a possesion reciever with big play ability. And that's my final word. Draft is in April. Peace.

Tyrell Sutton 5'9" 203 Lbs. Running Back - Northwestern

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6uXJ1O1QpU

Good Kid, Nice late selection, Has ability to be good second back for Bears

OFF-Season to do list:
Get Rivera Back
Resign Orton to a one year deal
Lose Grossman
Chase free Agent QB's
Ungrade defensive secondary, Lose Peanut

[TradeMark]

Add sign TJ Houshmandzadeh to that to do list. He's the consistent productive veteran our passing game needs. Kyle has another year left on his deal, I wouldn't extend him yet. I like him a lot, but his performance post-ankle injury leaves questions to be answered. Was his early season success a fluke, or was he just that hurt? I'd love to see the Bears go recieves in the first round, especially he they can get Mike Crabtree. Rivera ain't coming back. I'm not even sure Babich will go, but if he does, Lovie will put another one of his guys in that spot, not bring back a guy that he couldn't get along with.
