Cutler said he offered a spot on the plane to Long and then put his headphones on. After a few minutes, he realized that Long had been talking to him the whole time. He said, in Jay-like fashion: "Hey Kyle, is this how it's going to go?"

Offseason will basically be re-signing Cutler and drafting at least one DT, CB, and LB. I bet we wind up with two DT's and two CB's.

Why so you say LB? Granted Anderson and Williams are one year deals, but we're deeper than we've been in years, including with youth. Definitely agree on DL and CB though.

 

You can always use LB bodies though. Special teams takes up a few and given the body type that Emery covets, big fast freaks, LB is easy to take. Also, Briggs is 33 this season. I wouldn't be surprised if he's not on the Bears next season, and would be surprised if he is on the Bears in 2015. They may be deep today, but that depth is easily eroded.

We'll it depends on what you feel about Greene and Bostic probably. I think you could probably pencil in Bostic to start next year and Greene by 2015. So you probably phaseout the vets slowly and if you drafted well you have at least 2/3 of your corps lined up for 2015, and maybe all 3 if Briggs is still playing at an acceptable level. It's impossible to keep depth with injuries and such, so I would never shy away from almost any position, but I don't look at LB and think, wow that's a position that has trouble in 2014, whereas I do see that with CB and DL. Part of that is position replacement value too. It's just easier to get by with replacement level FA at LB than at DL or DB. I'd even put a couple offensive positions ahead of LB like WR(we're basically using 3 right now) or interior line (notably C) . Looking at the LB depth it's a spot I'm reinforcing in later rounds and UDFA, not top 3, unless the talents just too good to pass up.

I see their needs being DE, CB, DT, speed WR, G/C but the draft is a long ways away.

 

As far as the game, this should be a very interesting one. If the Lions can keep from being stupid I fear they could match up well against the Bears outside of the fact that their corners are still subpar. All about the line play in this one.

Burleson's accident was because his pizza was sliding off the front seat and he tried to catch it, and steered into the median.

 

Why would you even admit to that? Why not just say a raccoon darted in front of you?

Thanks for the PFF stuff, Banedon.

 

That should shut up the Peppers talk for at least a week. Not that it wasn't warranted but it's good to see him step up. Also awesome to see Long leading the team. The rest of the line was awful just like it looked on TV except Bushrod.

I'd rather save my pizza than a raccoon.

Yeah. Of course it was against the awful Steelers' offensive line.

 

Sadly, Melton looked a lot better too.

How about because that would be an unnecessary lie?

 

Provided this is the truth, it's really not that bad an explanation. Stupid, but at least it's not him going out and getting wasted and then driving.

I was expecting to read "toxicology reports are pending" somewhere in that piece. Good on him for not drinking or texting and saving the pizza!

Team nutritionist might want to have some speaks with him later.

 

At least he had something good to eat while waiting for the cops to arrive.

mike wilbon is so miserable

 

What now?

 

Don't know. Must've been on TV. His latest article on ESPN is a fairly glowing opinion on how the Bears are handling the early part of the season.

Another fun stat:

 

Since 2011, the Bears have scored 23 miscellaneous touchdowns, a category that includes all return and defensive scores; the next closest team has 14. That nine-touchdown difference is more than the total number of miscellaneous touchdowns scored by 15 different franchises over the same time period. The Pittsburgh Steelers, for example, have scored just three miscellaneous touchdowns since 2011.
