Fantastic. I hope we see a lot more Cutler-Olsen association.

[Butterscup1679666578]

they look like they are singing and crying together

[Magnetic Curses]

maybe they're rapping.

[biittner77]

maybe they're rapping.

 

I don't much care what they're doing as long as they make it home in one piece.

 

Someone mentioned earlier about switching a college D-lineman to OL. Didn't the Bears do that with Big Cat Williams?

I don't know if it was the Bears who did it, but he was a DLineman.

 

In fact, I don't think it even happened right out of college, but rather a few years into his NFL career that he made the switch.

 

Edit- I guess it was the Bears, thats the only team he played for. However, he did spend two years on the defensive line in Chicago.

Yeah, he was an UFA tackle who was low on the depth chart until Ditka moved him to tackle.

fred wakefield from illinois switched to play offensive line for arizona. but he was a bad de to begin with. xavier fulton, another illini, was moved from DE to LT and is going to go in the first 5 rounds.

damn, that is a weak schedule

 

Vikings at home at night in late december is nice.

[SpongeWorthy]

It seems the schedule makers are giving the Bears a lot of hype with 5 prime time games.

That's 10-6

 

I could see us winning most of the games though except @ Minnesota and @ Baltimore.

 

Sucks that we couldn't have gotten Minnesota in the first 4 games of the season so we might play them without the Williams Wall. (are those suspensions still an issue?)

I should get at least 7 games locally. The 5 national games, the Steelers game and the Browns game. I'd guess if both teams are good, I could get Vikings and Packers games.

I see us winning at home versus AZ, but losing @SF on three days rest while flying to the bloody west coast.

It's a night game, which should help get the adrenaline flowing. And SF is abysmal, which will help even more.

It's hard to look at the schedule and determine what the team's record will be. Everybody thought Atlanta would be a W last year, and look at what happened.

 

I do like having the Steelers early. But as I mentioned teams have been bad the last 3 years AFTER playing them. I like having Seattle after them, a team that should be weak. But that's a HUGE trap game after opening on a high at rival Green Bay and the first home game vs. the Superbowl Champions. Plus, it's travelling the other half of the country in a place that has historically been a tough place to play. Again, they have a tough travel from Chicago vs. the NFC Champs out to SF with a quick turnaround. That ARZ, SF, PHI, MIN stretch is going to be tough.

Singletary will have those boys ready to go vs. his old team. SF will have a tough game before hand vs. the Titans, but are at home for both games.

how can you not enjoy watching the sideline reporter and studio analysts while the game is going on?

[Wilson A2000]

Did the NFL add more national games to the Bears' schedule once they got Cutler or was it already pretty much set?

I think the Green Bay one was set.

 

But I can't imagine we had all those prime time games before Cutler.

i just ordered my "J.C. Saves" shirt. wooo blasphemy.
