Re: Week 6 - Chicago Bears at Atlanta Falcons, 7:20 PM NBC

I think Adams will be just fine as a Bear, and this "bust" reputation hes gotten is really overblown.

Agreed. I hope he can see the field at some point this year.

 

You don't make a midseason trade giving up a 2nd rounder for a guy who won't even get on the field this season.

 

can't believe he's not playing in this hhuge game where we need to get pressure.

Has that been officially announced?

I was just looking for "officially" but couldnt find anything except an article in the Trib saying he passed his physical, but was expected to be inactive.

heard it on the radio.

That's lame. I doubt the systems he played in are that much different than Chicago. Isn't Anthony Adams supposed to be hurt? Seems like a no brainer to play him today.

 

 

BTW, just stumbled across a somewhat funny cartoon/video. A bit outdated but I chuckled. I hope this guy steps up big tonight.

fyi, I've opened a game thread on 312Sports.com as well.

 

GO BEARS!

[Keener98]

Aromashadu is active for the 1st time in his Bears career, Hillenmeyer is not active, Idonije is active.

[Butterscup1679666578]

geez do we have any active LBs left on this team

I think it's Briggs-Roach-Tinoisamoa with Jamar Williams being the only backup? Or am I missing someone?

McGlover?

I'm alright with Gaines Adams being inactive. Even if he knew the system, its hard to throw a guy in who hasn't even practiced. Now I think chemistry gets overblown in a lot of instances, but you need some time to practice with teammates. Hopefully he gets a good week in this week and is active next Sunday.

[UMFan83]

I have the same feeling of nervousness that I did before Week 1's game. I think we've shown a lot since the GB game, but this game will be a great barometer for how good this Bears team is. Critics could easy make the "missed FGs" excuse for the Steelers and Seahawks games, and the fact that awful Detroit held up with us in that win, but if we beat Atlanta, a place where they've lost only 1 game in the Matt Ryan era, we are legit. If we get run off the field, it doesn't mean we're awful, but we might want to lower the expectations a little bit until we can get the trouble areas shored up a bit. This team is a work in progress who already cannot hit their ceiling with the major injury to Urlacher, but at this moment I believe they still have a chance to be pretty damn good.

 

This is my last rational thought on this board for the next 3.5-4 hours.

[SpongeWorthy]

Gonzalez might destroy us tonight.

[Soul]

Well, toughest challenge of the year, IMO.

 

Let's see what happens

[Magnetic Curses]

i've been prepping my crazytalk all day. you're in for some crazy tonight, boys and girls.

[UMFan83]

Here comes the first 3rd and long of the day....

[Keener98]

Nice start D

[Butterscup1679666578]

wow great first series. way to get off the field D!

[UMFan83]

Nice job on the pressure....3 and out! Let's see what Cutler and Co. have in store...

[Butterscup1679666578]

way to tackle yourself hester

[UMFan83]

Just missed taking it back. I don't know if he tripped up on the turf of someone got a hand on him barely, but he was about to be in high gear.

[Careless]

Damn! ScAred the crap out of my daughter and gOt my wife out of the bath yelling on that one

[UMFan83]

3 passes to start the game, but I liked the pass on 3rd down.

[UMFan83]

Nice and easy...take what they give you. I like the gameplan so far (cause it's working mostly...)

Me too I just wish Forte would start running with his head up. Hes running right into his blockers when he has holes to run through

[UMFan83]

Offensive line has looked spectacular so far.
