    Peterson is more of a special teams contributor than Wolfe, and neither of those two is a better backup RB option than Jones. If one has to go, it's Wolfe who has done nothing in the NFL so far. I understand wanting to keep more WR in the hopes of having one develop with Cutler. I think Jay is going to turn one of these guys into a legit threat. I just don't see it with Jones. I know he used to have some legs but every time I've seen him run with the Bears, he manages to go where the holes aren't. I think he's safe...I don't think the Bears are going to take my suggestion...but I wouldn't shed a tear if Jones wasn't around. I'd be happy with Wolfe being gone, but I don't see that one happening unfortunately.

    I think Petersen makes it because of special teams.

    Because our WR's are pretty unproven to say the least. Really other than Hester and Bennett, we don't know what any of the rest of them can do. Keeping Rideau gives you another chance for one to actually be good. Honestly, for me it's more that I don't like Jones. I don't think he's that good. I'd rather seen Petersen in the backup role.

    I'm sitting here thinking about how we can keep Brandon Rideau on the roster. I think all of our WR's are tossups, so it doesn't hurt to carry more of them. And I think Rideau has played pretty well in the preseason. Kevin Jones on the other hand has had a pretty crappy preseason, and really has yet to look good in a Bears uniform. How about cutting Jones, making Peterson your backup RB...a role he's done well in over the years, and then use the extra roster spot for Rideau?

    http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AkTRBAKNCS7Mo3emY2Mo_2FDubYF?slug=ms-ownerrankingspartone09020&prov=yhoo&type=lgns As I understand it, the Bears are a top 10 franchise in terms of value of the team, and cash flow. How can you be ranked lower than the Lions when that is the case? That ranking seems like a joke to me. I don't think the McCaskeys are one of the best, mind you -- but worse than the Lions? Huh? I think they mean capitalizing on the popularity of the franchise. The belief in that article is that the Bears have such a following, and such a great sports city, and there's a lot more money and hype to be weilded around, and that isn't being done. I get the point, though I still disagree with the ranking.

    Interesting statement. At first glance, a statement saying a team has to be either top 5 in offense or defense to make the Super Bowl seems outlandish. However, when you look at the last 4...Steelers D vs. Cards O, Patriots O vs. Giants D, Colts O vs. Bears D, Steelers D vs. Seahawks O. Only the Giants finished outside of the top 5 in both offense and defense, and they were 7th in defense. Only 3 times this century has a team been in the Superbowl while not having a top 5 unit or being top 10 in both. The 2007 Giants, 2003 Panthers, and 2001 Patriots. I don't think the Bears are good enough to be top 5 in either. I think if all goes perfectly, the Bears could be top 10 in both. If you use DVOA.... 2008 Cards O = 15th 2007 Giants D = 14th Also, the Bears were 7th in Defensive DVOA last year. So if they can maintain the same defense as last year, and break into the top 10 in offense (23rd in Off DVOA last year) then they would meet your definition. (Although I know you weren't referring to DVOA. I just like it.)

    Beating the Vikings and the Pack in the SB? I'd take that... 3 NFC North teams in the playoffs would be wild.

    You and Soto should have plenty to smoke in October. That was for medicinal purposes, Geo had an eating disorder he was trying to clear up or was it acne, one or the other What in the world are you talking about?

    The way he was looking at his finger (and how nobody on the Denver bench seemed to care that their starting QB was staring at his bloody bent finger) suggested it was more than just a simple cut. He looked horrified. Yeah, and I couldn't figure how he'd bloodied his finger on Ogunleye's hand, without it being a compound fracture...I guess this explains it.

    There was something that came out at the time about Bowlen's memory. I must've forgotten.
  24. Banedon
    Yeah, I read that...I didn't post it because I'm not real sure what to make of it. It seems like that would've come out back when all this was going down. I'd like to see someone else confirm it or something....
