  1. The thing I like is the 1st week Bennet/Hester were the 2 main guys. This week it was Knox/Olsen/Davis. Next week who knows who it will be, and thats a good thing. We dont have to have a "#1" WR on this team. We can be successful with the group we have as long as they dont get the case of the drops. Cutler has shown he will spread the ball around, and for the most part will find the open guy. It cant be real fun being Seattle trying to prepare to play the Bears. Do you key on shutting Knox down? Or Hester? Or Olsen? This offense has weapons, regardless what other teams fans, and members of the media believe.
  2. Yea Im not saying we should be out there running the ball 30+ times. But Forte only having 2 rushing attempts yesterday in the 1st half is pretty crazy. I understand Pitt is good at stuffing the run, and we were using the short passing game to replace the run. However 2 carries isn't going to do much to set up the play action they were trying to run. Hell at least give Forte 10 carries each half, to keep the D honest. I know Cutler has a great arm and such, but setting up the play action will only help get Hester/Knox open down field. Like I said I just hope that the running game looks better these next 2 weeks against Seattle and Detroit. If it doesnt happen does it mean the Bears are screwed this season? Of course not, but if they can get the run game established it just makes this offense that much more dangerous.
  3. I really dont care who wins tonight, but Id appreciate it if Ronnie Brown could get me 9+ points please.
  4. Their run D is pathetic. So is the Bears run O. Why am I not surprised that you responded with that. 16 run attempts today, thats it. Our running game being non existent has been as much Turners fault as Fortes/Oline. Forte has 2 carries in the 1st half today. Pitt defends the rush well so it makes sense putting the ball in Cutlers hands, but against Seattle it should be all Forte. You're completely ignoring the Green Bay game where he had 25 carries for 55 yards. That exact same Green Bay defense playing at home again, allowed Ced Benson to go for 141 on 27 carries. Forte has 38 carries for 84 yards this year, a 2.2 ypc average. While Pittsburgh is very good against the run, the Titans at least went 23 carries for 85 yards. I can tell you think Turner is Satan but how can you say blame is equally his when Forte is having nowhere to run and getting stuffed so much? Especially in that Green Bay game when they gave him 25 carries. Seattle just got gashed yesterday on 2 huge runs for 159 yards. Steven Jax had a fairly average day against them last week. At any rate that was a really good win for the Bears yesterday. A 2-1 start would be fairly impressive. Look the run game has left alot to be desired. As for the Green Bay game, Forte had 4 carries in the 1st quarter, and 4 carries in the 2nd quarter, pretty hard to get a feel for the game, and get going with 8 damn carries the entire 1st half. There was no flow to that game against GB because of the play calling by Turner, who decided he wanted to come out throwing all over the field. Then come 2nd half Turner gives Forte 17 carries in the 2nd half, yea good job trying to get Forte established early on. Forte has 10 rushing attempts in the 1st half of games so far, thats absurd.
  5. If the White Sox could affor Peavys deal, they could afford Zambranos deal if Peavy was taken off the books.
  6. Well if you heard it on Chicago SportsTalk Radio, its definitely true. I mean those guys are always fair, never jump to conclusion, and always know what they are talking about......
  7. How bout dem Coyboys!
  8. They said on CSN, Brown says he will be playing next week

  10. Even if he does play we should beat Seattle, and it really shouldnt be that close. Their run D is pathetic.
  11. I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I am willing to guess that Aramis probably has a keener insight into Milton Bradley's behavior and relationship with the media than you do. Im not even sure what you are even trying to say in this post. Did I say anthing untrue?
  12. May as well, its not going to hurt anything if they do, and he can get a taste of the bigs.
  13. ARam says if he didnt want to talk to the media then he shouldnt have talked to them....Umm Aramis, he tried that, and our dumbass manager and worthless GM got on his ass for not talking to them, and pushed him towards talking to them. This organization is a mess, and really is a laughing stock of professional sports.
  14. Great win today, defense looked pretty good really. Cutler looked fantastic, and Knox did too. My 1 very big concern coming from this game is Forte, and Turner forgetting the run game. Next week they play a Seattle team who gave up over 200 yards rushing to Frank Gore. If Forte doesnt get 20-25 carries, and have 100-120 yards, Im going to start getting worried about our run game.
  15. By people, you mean you right? It looks like people went 85% for Pittsburgh on ESPN's pick em, and they were favored by 2.5 points I was referring to the "people saying the season was over if the Bears lost", not really the noone picked the Bears.
  16. I think Brown was ok he lookd ok on the bench to me.
  17. By people, you mean you right?
  18. BEARS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUCK IT PACKERS!
  19. Knowing Lovie he will challenge the spot
