2009 Chicago Bears Preseason Thread - A new era begins

Wow. That's exactly what I was hoping to see from the 1st teams. Defense needs to tackle better, but not going to see too many 270lb RBs.

Thank God.

@VicLombardi I'm told Cutler privately is very frustrated with his lack of talent at WR position...sorry Mr Hester

 

I have a hard time believing he's "very frustrated," and I'd be shocked if he actually told anyone that. Seems like the guy is just trying to start another controversy since they'll have to actually talk about Cutler being good this week.

Post was from two days ago actually, but yeah....sounds like more made up controversy.

I cannot believe that third down play worked

[Careless]

this thread made me realize something: this site is really fast when you don't have to load sig pictures. Many times faster than if you're seeing someone's photobucket or whatever sig.

I don't know what to think of a pre-season game proposal.

The Giants have a player last name "Whimper"

I'm more and more convinced that Rashied Davis doesn't make this team. Too much young potential.

 

 

Told you. :)

Especially since it's some douche from a Denver TV station.

Oh is it? I knew that he had written for NFL.com...didn't know the Denver connection.

That's what I got when I googled his name... http://cbs4denver.com/bios/Vic.Lombardi.sports.9.566927.html

 

 

Could be a different guy/coincidence though, I guess.

Orton and Broncos on NFLN now.

I'm sure he'll be just as impressive

6 for 8 for 68yards and a TD on the first drive.

 

Though he nearly threw a pick in the endzone.

[UMFan83]

10-13 for 99 yards and 1 TD (0 INTs). Much more like the Orton I expected to see. Go Kyle! As long as he doesn't put up better numbers than Cutler, I am rooting for him.

That O-line is gonna be nice for him.

[Banedon]

HA! Orton threw lefty and got picked in the endzone.

You expected him to perform close to that?

 

Wat?

 

Personally, I expect Denver to be hilariously bad this year... and I also think it's hilarious that they traded away their first rounder next year because it's going to be a top 2 or 3 pick.

Yeah that was..........interesting. But given that it was 4th down I suppose he just wanted to at least get the ball away and have a chance at converting rather than taking the sack and turning it over on downs that way.

[Magnetic Curses]

i remember jake plummer throwing on the run with his left hand when he played for the broncos, maybe it was an homage?

[Banedon]

RB Brandon Jacobs ran seven times for 27 yards

 

Boy....seems like he did a lot more damage than that.

[Banedon]

"I've got an awful lot of confidence right now, I really do," he said, knowing his next game is a reunion with Chicago and Jay Cutler, the quarterback Denver traded to get him. "This is the best offense I've ever played with. This is the best talent around me that I've ever had. I just feel that my game right now is as good as it has ever been."

He did play well last night aside from a couple really bad decisions. I thought the plays Denver called were right down Orton's alley.......a lot of short, dump off type passes. The only problem he will face down the road is teams will start creeping up and sitting on the short stuff and force him to beat them downfield to keep 'em honest.
