PrintSome people think football is a matter of life and death.I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.-Bill Shankly
Bears tab Collins to start Sunday's game - This is a very divisive issue. Many seem to think that this is the worst think to happen since New Coke. We'll find out on Sunday.
Bears expecting run defense to be tested - If the offense can move the ball even just a little bit, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Lovie: Hopefully Cutler will play vs. Seahawks - That'd be nice. Triumphant return at home and all.
Peppers return to Panthers territory has been subdued - Jensen looks into how the people of Carolina are feeling. The people he got to are pretty subdued. The guys at Cat Scratch Reader have slightly stronger feelings about it. Go over and check them out. (They're totally nice dudes and chicks, so if you do, be good.)
Follow WCG on Twitter. If you don't, it would be like building a huge, planet-destroying space station. However, that space station can be easily destroyed if you let a whiny kid from a dirt-poor planet fly a spaceship across the surface, and then shoot into a small exhaust port. (Basically, it means you're doomed from the start.)
Bears tackle Williams remains unable to practice - I'm not 100% sure how that's news, but, hey, y'know, whatever.
Running game real shame - Our man @skjensen is back, and he reminds us that the running game is not, as they say, very strong.
Emergency plan? Bears have 3rd QB ready - The secret that nobody knows is that at halftime, Martz suits up and plays quarterback.
Pass on passing, get running back - The Trib also backs the idea of "run til it works."
Which of 4 winless NFL teams will be last to win? - What do you say. Kev picks the Bills.
Can Bears bounce back? - Nope. No chance. It's the Bears.
Ditka: Bears still can win without Cutler - Oh, wait, the coach is a voice of reason.
Michael Jordan Does Letterman Circa 1986 - This is just fun. He looks so young!

Forte was successful
when they ran so much, they softened up the defensive line. I haven’t seen anything to indicate that our OL can provide nough to punch to play that style of offense.
I think the Bears have to mix it up, or they’ll be looking at 7-8 man fronts all day.
Don't worry Boys, we'll weather this storm of approval, and come out as hated as ever.
Disagree with run til it works...
Keep the passing offense and deal with the results. The only thing I really know is that our O-Line is awful, and it’s harder to run effectively with a bad line than it is to pass. Short drops and out passes all day. Shoop ball baby!
PS – START HANIE

Collins knows the scheme! Who cares if he’s bad, he knows the scheme!

Well what do you want to do, seal the exhaust port
and smother your stormtroopers in exhaust before they all get shot anyway?

How about some bars, or at the very least a grate...
Or a force field?

OSS
I think it’s obvious the next OSS should be a Bears/Star Wars image.

It had ray shields
It wasn’t 100% defenseless…they just knew the proper way to exploit the ray sheilds with photon torpedos.

It was obviously the contractors fault.
No space architect would be that stupid.

Nerd moment of my day...
If you read the novel “Death Star”, that is actually addressed…And it was kind of the contractors fault.

Low bid purchases. It was probably also some contractor from Mos Eisley that did shoddy work.
"There is no tomorrow for you, and that makes you very dangerous people."--Jimmy McGinty (Gene Hackman) The Replacements
Time is an illusion--lunch time doubly so.
the Death Star design was adequate
…where they failed was in not having enough TIE fighters to defend it properly, or enough TIE pilots who were into the dark side of the force.

I'd be willing to bet
they skimped on pilot training pretty heavily, too.

Little known fact...
the 3rd QB is Kev H

Lovie was “kidding” about that gameplan thing. That Lovie sure is a modern day Rodney Dangerfield.
I'd be dope as the 3rd QB.
I’m spectacularly good at holding a clipboard.

Oh, no.
I’d Romo the hell out of that.

You'd fumble the hold,
run upfield and almost get in the endzone before being tackled by your shoelaces?
Let me guess, you’d score.

No, I'd be pissed
because the midget kicker refused to throw down a block of any kind.

or the Pit Boss
"I am a sinner who does not expect forgiveness. But I am not a government official." - Francis Wolcott
Who else has brains and can throw on this team?
Start Urlacher at QB.
I am not looking forward to Jimmy Clausen’s name being associated with even a hint of success.
Let's just have the defense play both ways.
Urlacher as QB. Briggs as a pass-catching TE. Pep as the big freakin RB that bulldozes people to the ground. Manning is already a KR, let’s toss him as WR as well. Maybe our collection of crap DLs performs better as OLs.
It’d be interesting, to say the least…
Start Peppers
He can do everything!

From Dickerson:
The Bears’ Corey Graham is quietly having a Pro Bowl-caliber season.
Already with 10 special teams tackles in only four games, Graham is on pace to break Tim Shaw’s franchise record (30) set just last year.
Graham was murdering punt coverage last week.
He should start getting a fumble or strip soon if he keeps it up.

I thought he should have had two last week...lol...(never satisfied)

I have noticed Graham

Graham's the 3rd QB?? I'm soooo confused...
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.
Ditka: Bears can still win without Cutler
Yeah, I like Da Coach and all. I’m a Bears fan. But I do remember him advocating back in the mid-90s that the Bears should pick up this QB who would really turn the team around. The QB? Rick effing Mirer. Good call there Coach.
I'm not so mean. I wouldn't ever go out to hurt anybody deliberately - unless it was, you know, important, like a league game or something. - Dick Butkus

How the hell is a 24 year old "athlete" unable to practice???
WTF??? This really pisses me off. Hamstring? Really?? I thought CW was suppose to be the second coming…. an athlete??
When I was 24, I had better be dead – before calling in to work.
I think maybe he’s making this guy look tight…
If you don't ask, you don't get. So get on with it already.

Some juiceboxes?

now that would be a scoop worthy of Jensen!

to paraphrase tommy waddle
i don’t care if cade mcnown crawls out from god-knows-where to get behind kreutz, the bears are going to beat the panthers this sunday.
if nothing else, i hope #29 gets some real carries for the first time this year. 24 carries in 4 games is rather pathetic for a back as good as he is.
running game
Yes, C. Taylor would upgrade the run game if he got enough carries, otherwise why spend the money….I think he’s averaging about 5.0 ypc in his limited time so far.
