I have a feeling people want Roach to replace Hunter.
Just a hunch.
Derreck Rose, you’ve gotta be flat-out kidding me. Double overtime! Triple overtime!- Chuck wack on crack
I didn't mind Hunter as a MLB
I didn’t. And Roach wasn’t that spectacular last year, so I’m waiting to see how the new Roach looks next week.
I'M A MAN! I'M 23!
well he wasn't perfect Sunday.
But neither was Hunter. So I’d like to see him also.

Oh, I agree
I want to see Nick Roach again, but I also don’t want to dismiss Hunter completely.
I'M A MAN! I'M 23!
I know, I think Hunter is a great backup.
I’m sure he’ll be back starting but there is that side of you that thinks damn I wish we had freaky athletic LB’s again causing havoc. Hunter is more steady. But I hope Roach can take the Job from him and use his athletic ability to give this defense a jolt.

battle is starting to sound like our old QB stuff… the back up would always be the savior until, he came in, and magically, sucked too.
HH is fine replacement, as no one will be Urlacher. Roach was fine too. but HH should stick if he can play

No, not at all.
I actually had a picture thought out for it, but I have no idea how to use photoshop. Was picturing Mcdaniels as John Cusack in “Say Anything”, in the boom-box/Peter Gabriel scene.

That's awesome. I can see it now.

You guys are good with that kind of stuff.
Feel free to run with it.

What does Devin Hester have to do in order to be considered a #1 wide receiver? He’s been playing very well and making big plays. His hand-eye coordination appears to be solid and he hasn’t really blown any routes that I have seen. How much longer will two-bit writers continue with the argument: “The Bears don’t have a legitimate #1 receiver?”

That argument is over-rated anyway!

Anyway
Couldn’t agree more with Rosenbloom (for a change). I think the Detroit game could almost, dare I say it, be a, ummmm bit of a trap? I really hope we don’t overlook Detroit and I know how bad that sounds but they do have a decent running game and they have looked like an improved team. We can’t afford to take them too lightly.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
We'll be fine
As long as the front 4 provides consistent preasure to Stafford, who is nowhere near as mobile as Wallace who we faced last Sunday.
Even though he has played well, he is still a rookie. I believe that if we get to Stafford early and often, he will have a rough day full of hurries, sacks, and intersceptions.

The coaches and veterans will have the team ready to go against the Lions
It’s an important game for the Bears to win before they have to go to Atlanta, which is probably going to be another hostile environment. Everyone remembers how they blew the game in the finals seconds last year.
It may actually be closer than I think but....
the Bears win this one without trouble. The Lions had their “win” win last week. They are still an NFL team, but they are not going on any winning streaks. They are putting it together slowly this year and I expect it will be about 3 years before they make a playoff run or fall apart again.
But honestly, the Bear’s O-line needs to get to the damn “gelling” or whatever other euphemism is apt for “getting the job done”! There isn’t a rookie on that group and no one is seriously injured, so Harry H and the other coaches need to get to the root of the problem soon. Maybe Marinelli can give ’em a little pep talk before the next game!
There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.
I really wanna watch Alf and Bowman and Roach.
I wanna see some interceptions. Whats up with DA?

Alf is a pretty good safety, been impressed so far.

DA had an injury
in which Johnny Knox was put in his place… Knox tore it up so we’re running with him for a while.
Forte is particularly important to this equation.
We have to keep in mind that while Hester and Knox are talented, they were also unheralded before the season. Forte, on the other hand, had to basically carry the offense all of last year, and ended up being the target of opposing defenses for it.
While this is an oversimplification of the issues with the running game, one has to wonder if the “make Cutler throw it” plan has played a factor into this.
If Cutler plays at his pace from the last five halves over the entire season, he’ll be in the neighborhood of 3800-4000 yards, 35 touchdowns, and 15 or so picks. While the turnovers are higher than one would want, given the cast around him, it would be an A+ job for any QB, let alone a Bears QB. Of course, defenses are going to key in on the pass, which will almost certainly lower these stats, but it will open up the box for Forte.
