The Bears Den: October 13, 2010

Omi has been just as good, if not better than Chris Williams was when he was in there, in my opinion.

CW has not demonstrated spectacular play in the games he’s started. If his injury leaves him at less than 100%, he will not be a better option than Frank. Even at 100% there are lingering questions as to his being better than Frank, his play has not proven that.

So far as Webb is concerned, I personally thought the right side played really well against Carolina, but it was Carolina after all. I think at this point in the season we should be much farther along cementing the starters in their respective roles (Captain Obvious here). I like the idea of having the beef on the line, coupled with the energy and enthusiasm of youth.

Give Webb and BOTH Williams boys the nod, let Frank spell the guys that need it. I think that is the line makeup of the future – plus some additional new talent.

“THIS IS NOT DETROIT, MAN!” Haha still cracks me up

Beautiful.

 He didn’t leave the game with a concussion, correct? So technically he doesn’t need to be cleared by independent doctors like Jay did.
There upcoming schedule is Miami, Minnesota, at NJ Jets, at Dallas, at Minnesota, at Atlanta. If Green Bay wants to make the playoffs then Rodgers must play.

Either the Cowboys or the Vikings are going to be 1-4 after this weekend.

I don’t know what some of those votes come from

LINKY

it’s nice to see us ahead of the Pack, they need to live up to the rankings though.

Pretty Clear that Dez Clark is in Martz dog house even though he is the best TE on team

I wonder why Dez isn’t trying to force a trade.

he has an ax to grind with the bears ever since they cut him loose.

Bernstein is a tool. Didn’t forte have 22 for 166?? take those 2 runs out and he still had over 80 yards on 20 carries. Same damn negativity out of hiim for years. Boers used to be a good guy to listen to until Bernstein infected him..

Still thinks that Collins is the more logical choice as #2 QB

 He would personally start Collins over Hanie again as Hanie has proven nothing

I used to not mind Hub, but he’s gotten worse over the years. The first statement shows me that his skills at being a human being and having eyes are lacking.

The second statement suggests to me that while Hanie hasn’t proven anything, Collins has, and what Collins proved is that he doesn’t have anything left. He made piss poor decisions and bad throws against what should have been an easy pickings Carolina defense. Remember Brian Griese? That Carolina team is the kind of team he would have absolutely eaten alive with his short game check down passing. Collins, on the other hand, couldn’t seem to hit the spot if we had enlarged it and angels had come down from heaven to guide the ball.

- Mediocre performance against one of the worse teams in the NFL

It’s mediocre cause Collins brought the entire teams performance down with him.

- Protection is still poor

Collins had a ton of time to throw his interceptions.

- He would personally start Collins over Hanie again as Hanie has proven nothing

What? Is he the only guy in the world that believes this drivel?

- packers have better options at QB than Bears. flynn has played in big games and won them in the SEC whereas Hanie did not win

What’s his beef with Hanie? He played very well for an awful CSU team, while Flynn had loads of talent to play with. What will he say when Flynn sucks it up on Sunday?

You know if he read WCG he might be a better broadcaster, just saying,

Or is Hub a walking bitter beer face?

Seriously, I haven’t heard that much sour grapes come out of one person before, and that’s even including Mariotti.

He’d start Collins again over Hanie? Great, we know one person to never allow to coach peewee football, let alone a legitimate team that has a great shot of making a playoff run.

I agree with a lot of what other people have said, you have known knowns, and unknown unknowns. We know Collins is terrible. We know Collins struggles at throwing the ball more than 15 yards, let alone accurately. We know Collins has absolutely zero future with the team as he will almost undoubtedly return to retirement after this season. We don’t know exactly what we have in Hanie. We don’t know if he can be the legitimate backup of the future. We don’t know if he can handle the in-game pressure. We don’t know if he’s been able to properly digest the offense.

Starting Collins literally does nothing for us, he’s not going to have a “good” game, and we learn nothing about the situation if he has a bad game that we didn’t already know. There is something to be said for making decisions that have possibly positive outcomes, instead of those that at best break even.

Pops like _.

I think we have seen Omiyales ceiling and it is average. We have a tough finish to the season and if he is going to be the guy (Webb) let’s get on with it.

Just said the same on the Score….Tice really likes Webb….Tice also wants youth on the Oline since they have upside and can improve from week to week….Whereas vets do not have that upside and you pretty much know what one can get from week to week…..Biggs does say that Omi might go to LG with Webb at RT and Williams LT….

Those mistakes are correctable, while Webb is still a 7th round rookie. I can’t believe people are harping on Frank. He’s been our best blocker!

Lions 1-4
Pack about to be 2-3
Vivking 1-3
Philly nearly lost to 0-5 SF
NE almost lost to Buffalo

Love the optimism though!!

over at DN.

Seattle—Win
Washington—Loss
Buffalo—Win
Minnesota—Loss
at Miami—Loss
Philadelphia—Loss
@Detroit—Loss
New England—Loss
@ Minnesota—Loss
New York—Loss
@ Green Bay—Loss

That’s 6-10.

Suck it NFL.

the Bears will lose 4 out of 6 home games? How high are you?

I’m the negative one… and I don’t completely disagree. Lots of could go either way games. And I really have no idea how good this team is.

I do think they’re going to win the close ones though, for the most part. They don’t take loads of dumb penalties and they have Toub.

You can’t predict a damn thing about the second half of the season going into week 6. Who would have assumed that half the Packers would be missing by this point in the season.

Additionally, playing in two domes on the road late in the season isn’t necessarily the worst thing in the world for this team. It’s predicated on speed and timing, and the passing game should be able to function better when the ball doesn’t feel like a frozen rock hitting receivers in the hands.

The Jets continue to look inconsistent in their ability to score points.

Depending on who plays the QB position for Philly, it can go either way. Washington is up and down as well, just depends what trend you catch them on.

Miami has a lot of potential, but they’re only showing it in flashes right now.

Why don’t we worry about the game against the Seahawks now, instead of predicting doom in uncontrollable situations that are 4-8 weeks away?

and you know why.

because I said we’d go 9-7… and we will. :]

1 – gives the bored something to do

2 -

Really? Sounds to me like he’s making excuses for Matt’s stinko performance.

that he was optimistic he’d play. He also mentioned that he might be able to practice today. We’ll have to see what Biggs says later this afternoon.

I guess the talk of CW being a Guard may have come true.

that Garza was on the way out….Dont know how many times I seen Garza (and sometimes Kreutz) fall so far back that they are on the QBs lap……

All I know is that Hub (and a good chunk of Bear fans) is / are going into rip into the CWilliams pick even more…..

Maybe he won’t look as bad inside as he did outside. I thought we wanted to get more physical inside though…everything I’ve heard is that Williams is a finesse player rather than a mauler…

I don’t know how I feel about that. CW doesn’t really use brute force. I hope Tice knows what he’s doing.
