I was late to seeing the broadcast because I got free tix to watch the Eagles circle the toilet, and when I walked into the bar to see 20-0 Bears and Earl standing in the huddle with the orange kicks I probably had blue and orange cartoon hearts circling my head.

Twice in the last week the Bears stepped up and put a beating on a team that ALL the analysts were jocking. They played through injuries, illness, dirty opponents, and criticism. I love Earl, Matt, Jay, Brian, DJ, Conte, the whole stupid oline... when's the last time you were this proud to be a Bear...

I remember the play. Davis was in 2pt stance out in the slot, and he cracked back on the play while Babin was already being moved by Louis... completely buried him. It was awesome and indicative of the attitude we brought to that game. The Philly sports radio has been saying "the Bears sent a m...

My assumption is that they will acquire a new receiver next year, and we will need to cut one to keep the number at 6. Hester and Bennett are here for sure. 3. Roy Williams - Inconsistent but improving. If he comes on, I think we sign him to a longer deal and trade Knox 4. Dane Sanzy - Too many drop...

If he needs the surgery to be ready for the opener next year, then yes. Otherwise we should let him practice very light, and keep him on the sideline for emergencies.

Frank Omiyale 2011 = Todd Collins 2010

If we play him, he could lose the game for us. I feel that strongly about his suckiness.

The idea that we don't need to draft or sign a starting quality OL next year is almost too good to be true. That gives us a chance to draft WR, LB, DB early and look at DE and S in free agency. This is on the back of a team that is looking VERY 11-5 right now.

(I'm totally drunk on the Kool-Aid)

The issue is not replacing Izzy with an impact DE, the issue is replacing Nick Reed and Mario Addison. Unfortunately that is a high-value position and not easy to draft. I'm hoping we can bring in some sort of journeyman free agent while we develop some size/speed prospect we draft late. If Paea or ...

They didn't show a good replay but the commentators said that Cutler his Spaeth's shoulder pad when his arm was going forward.

No matter how you shuffle our Tackles we still appear short a guard. I hope we give up on the experiment of converting tackles and just draft a damn guard in the mid-rounds.

In the meantime we have two experiments on the left side, and two pleasant surprises on the right (Spencer and Louis).

My guess is that he's as surprised as we are that Lance Louis got it done. The "we'll wait and see" is probably related to Louis falling on his face this week.

I'm here in Philly and I see fans who are on edge. People were ready to call for Andy Reid's head before that Dallas game and I hope we can stir up that mob again. I'm happier with Conte back there helping stop the big play, and I know that the Philly oline is an issue. Our front four will generally...

C'mon buddy this is practically trolling. The Packers drafted Donald Driver, and five years later they drafted Greg Jennings. Two pro-bowlers in the span of 10 years is basically the end of the argument.

I'm with wab here, I think Louis and Webb were the problem during the first quarter. I came into the season hating Louis at G so I mostly complained about him, and most everyone else (including DD I thought) were focused on hating Webb. As for moving Carimi to G, I am now skeptical. After watching C...

Agreed on Lance Louis being a revelation. As a bonus: Chris Williams is getting it done, and Frank Omiyale isn't on the field. I'm not sure if we want to give up on Webb at LT because clearly Tice saw something there. Maybe after this year we have a competition and the loser ends up as the swing tac...

Well at least Nelson can play some special teams according to a few websites.

We are paying Merriweather too much to sit on the bench in a Jerry Angelo regime. He's going to "get a chance" to live up to his contract. Meanwhile, Conte is starting opposite him and Jerry didn't even notice him at the combine. Bears Safety situation 2011 = Bears Tight End situation 2010...

In this article from chicagobears.com ... LM: Rookie safety Chris Conte played well in Sunday’s win, plucking a pass out of a receiver’s hands for his first NFL interception. What went into the decision to draft him in the third round? JA: “He was a corner up until his senior year at Cal, when he wa...

I think I liked Darcel McBath during the 2009 draft but he wasn't around when we got around to drafting our Rd3 washouts. He couldn't stick with the Broncos... and those guys suck. That doesn't say much about my scouting ability or the Bears ability to help themselves with personnel mid-season.

I think the awkwardness is due to his youth. The game is still a little fast for him but I see upside for sure.

I want to keep beating this drum until someone convinces me I'm wrong: if we aren't going waive him next year, we need to pay him THIS YEAR THIS CAP YEAR You want to pay him $8mil guaranteed in 2012 and 2013 (sounds good to me)? Why not pay him $10mil this year and $3mil for those other two years. T...

I think we have to pay him a little more than Frank Gore, and I think we can do it fairly painlessly THIS YEAR because we didn't spend much in the offseason. Lets see a frontloaded contract similar to the one Briggs should currently stfu about. If we were butting against the cap I would be in lockst...

Meanwhile Chris Conte had a nice game.

Probably that guy is faster than Steltz and we see in the picture Steltz is already taking a bad angle on the play.

I think I would give Jay a C for the game but you guys are being much harsher. Rather than bicker about how bad is bad, lets do this little exercise again as a sanity check: If you could trade Jay straight up, which QBs would you rather have on your team? Absolutely Aaron Rodgers Tom Brady Drew Bree...

This is starting to remind me of the lockout - rich vs rich... fans screwed. On one side you have players that are underpaid now, but will make good money in the future, and on the other side you have ownership with $19 million under the cap. Briggs needs to stfu so lets put him aside. Forte and pro...

Yeah....Wasn't it Roman Harper? Whoever it was I believe he was eventually fined right? I cannot find any link saying he was fined for his hit on Bennett ... he did get fined for his hit on Panther WR Steve Smith The Saints were basically a dirty team. I've semi-rooted for them in the past and I wa...

I have Earnest Graham (Bucs RB) on one of my fantasy teams so I was doing some research on this game, and I discovered that our rushing defense super sucks. We rank 24th in yards and 32nd (!!!) on yards per carry. That's insane, and doesn't bode well for us here... yes I'm starting Graham. Bucs 24 B...

I hope that guy is lying about being drunk, because its wildly stupid to put your hands on another man and not think he's going to punish you for it. We know Hester is a sweetie pie who gets choked-up talking about his punt return blockers, but to non-sports fans he just looks like a muscular 190lb ...

Now with less pedo implications.
