The only thing we can get out of this one is a sense if Josh McCadeNabbNown can be a backup QB next year. A win in this one would drop us back 6 or 7 spots in the draft, but it would be worth it if we find out we don't need to blow a draft pick on another QB.

I want to draft another QB regardless in the late rounds. Give Enderle some competition for the #3.

As far as the #2 QB goes, it sounds like Orton may be given a chance to start for KC so I'm sure that will be more attractive to him as a FA over being a definite backup in Chi.

I also want to see more of Kahlil Bell. Man did he look good last week. He's averaged 8.5, 4.4, 4.3, and 5.3 YPC over the last 4 weeks and has shown he can catch the ball as well.

Someone give me a reason to watch without using the words "back-up" in your sentence. Because I probably won't be watching a second of it.

It's the Bears. You're a fan.

You know you can't resist taking your eyes of a car wreck like this.

I think you'd be surprised how easy it'll be.

Forgive the absence of game info fellas. I'm at my mom's house for the holidays and she doesn't believe in the Internet "thing" people are always going on about. And I just haven't been able to bring myself to do it via phone.

Rolling with the AOL dial-up connection?

There's our $18 million receiver!

I can't help but notice how #75 Toeaina is getting absolutely owned on the line.

Please explain how Hester calls a fair catch when there is one cover guy and 3 blockers on him?

And this dial up connection blows when it comes to streaming live video.

Hester hasn't been the same since that (ankle?) injury to be sure.

Guess what Kahlil has to work on in the offseason ??

Now there's a QB looking for a job

Post #15 » by **emperorjones** » Sun Jan 1, 2012 6:44 pm

Can't remember last time Hest caught a ball

K Bell should be our 2nd back next year. I really like him as Forte's backup and Barb as a short yardage power option. Yes, Bell need to work on getting rid of that Rashan Salaam imitation he does so well.

Jared Allen needs to learn that it might mean more to gesture for more fan noise if he didn't ask for it on every single down.

Post #18 » by **emperorjones** » Sun Jan 1, 2012 6:47 pm

Bell is one hell of a hard runner

I like his wheels too, but he needs to protect that ball. There's 7 points on the board with his name on it today and fumbled at the goal line last week. Part of his strength works against him - he doesn't go down easily but while he's stood up like that churning away, that ball is just begging to be ripped out.

Nice for Tillman!
