I have my doubts as to whether our defense could keep Bones McCoy under 100 QB rating.....

He’s a doctor, not a quarterback.

exactly....
and he’d probably cut through our secondary with surgical precision

He was more of a "wave this thing over you and heal your broken bone" doctor.

He's done all he can Jim
Time will tell if this defense can be revived.

The starters aren't playing, and I could not care less.
It’s not like playing in one, maybe two series tonight was the key to unlocking any mystical secret of goodness that they have. They’re going to play the same defense they played last week, and they’re going to run the same 5 basic routes and 4 run plays that they’ve ran all preseason.

But then they don't get to practice
the super-ultra devastating play?
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.
Sshhh.
That play must remain a well-hidden secret until Week 1. Even the mere existence of it must not be hinted at!
Are the Bears bringing in outside help?

Mullins article
points out how Martz will at least be unpredictable in his play-calling this year. It’s one of the few positives I took from last Saturday’s game. He kept the Cards back on their heels for the most part, but the players couldn’t convert consistently enough to put up some points.
Like Kev said, I’m warming up to the starters not playing much; most likely it would be vanilla stuff anyways. No injuries and no good tape for the Lions!

plus, the Browns are probably not going to playing their starters much so how much of a yardstick would it be...
might as well keep them healthy at this point. I think the game that will come back to haunt us, if any of them do, will be the first pre-season game where many of the main guys only played 8 snaps. That should have been where we played our starters at least through the 1st quarter to get some live plays in the new offense, in my opinion.
Yeah, I was surprised by that too.
Why not adapt to what the Bolts were doing by running a bunch of draws and screens?

Adapt.
You’re funny!

Right
Ron Turner’s ghost (living) is still ever present!

That Gosselein article is very flattering
Is he watching the same games the rest of us are??
This article appeared here in the Dallas Morning News….. he had some nice things to say about Cutler and Martz and the team composition in general.
If I didn’t know better, I’d say he’s been drinking the kool aid. This may of course be a fluff piece to make the Cowboys fans feel not too bad if the Bears actually beat them in their home opener in 3 weeks.
Nice to actually read something that doesn’t viscerate our team.

Lol...
Rick is one of the most respected sports journalists out there, and he isn’t really known for drinking too much kool aid. Hopefully, we do indeed embarrass the Cowboys in their home opener.
I'd buy a ticket
But the fans here in the Big D really are proud of the new stadium…. $2500 for two level 200 seats. Good thing I’m not prone to nose bleeds.

If anyone gets a chance
Fanhouse.com did a a great article/interview with Mike Singletary. I highly recomend it.
I Think this is the game Bell passes Wolfe
and makes the roster over him. Everyone talks about Special Teams but come how much longer can the Wolfe experiment go on? Bell is a more solid running back and he can get better at special teams.
