Is Sims actually the starting TE?Always did like Dion Sims before the Dolphins turned him into an inline guy.

Should be Miller. Sims will play a decent amount too though. Then they still have Shaheen, Braunecker and I believe Brown.Is Sims actually the starting TE?
Not sure why it's a debate? You serious, Clark? Don't even think it's a debate now. It's year 3 of a "rebuild." Still not good enough to start the better qb? Some of you are living in another world. It's definitely a debate, regardless of which side you're on. If you're using the schedule or the team around him in deciding which qb to start, you're doing it wrong and need to rethink things. You start the better qb, regardless of situation.You let Glennon eat the majority of this season. Especially with Meredith out. Maybe Mitch starts the last couple games?
That's why they gave Mike the contract. "Here's a guaranteed $15M, go take a beating."
Then surround Trubisky with weapons next year.
Im not even sure why it's a debate? I realize it's optimism season, but this team isn't going anywhere.
Depends on the writers. If you read from the Bears point of view, our Defense played really well. If you read from a Titans writer it puts a lot of blame on the Titans offense and Mariotta for off target throws. (maybe they started him too soon)They just kicked the #### out of the Titans offense. If that doesn't show you this team is going somewhere, I don't know what will. This team is about to turn the corner.
John Fox is still the head coach. Either Mike Glennon or a rookie are the starting QB options. There isn't much at WR or RB behind Howard. If it were a different era you might be able to get by with and rely on the defense, but in today's NFL you can't win without a QB.They just kicked the #### out of the Titans offense.

I would argue that the Bears have one of the best backfields in the NFL. Howard, Langford, Cunningham and now Cohen is a pretty stout backfield in my opinion.John Fox is still the head coach.

Well, you're certainly right about their WRs. I don't think anyone's going to argue that one.Maybe I was short sighted with the backs.
Tough sell to put Trubisky into that situation.Well, you're certainly right about their WRs. I don't think anyone's going to argue that one.
Why is the situation so bad? Solid OL and great running game. Pretty good group of TEs. Solid defense. How perfect of a situation are you waiting for? It doesn't exist.Tough sell to put Trubisky into that situation.

We know. We know."Mike Glennon, deja vu. He's comin partner!"

The key at the end there is Mitch is playing real loosey goosey with no pressure, but if is starting week one pressure will be thru the roof. At that point we will really see what we have."Mike Glennon, deja vu. He's comin partner!"

Mitch doesn't feel much pressure. Glennon felt pressure the minute he took the field in preseason.The key at the end there is Mitch is playing real loosey goosey with no pressure, but if is starting week one pressure will be thru the roof. At that point we will really see what we have.
Seriously, the Bears are straight up ponderous. WTF is the point of this game?So start Trubisky in the 4th preseason game and run every down he's in there. You're a a damn idiot, Fox. Just collecting a paycheck. Don't worry. You'll get your wish and get fired after the season.
I really think they're going to be pretty good this year. As long as the DL can get some pressure that secondary will be able to make some plays too.The front 7 on defense is looking good though - like what what they are showing....
Trubisky gets hit and breaks his shoulder and all the same voices would be #####ing about throwing him out there with a bunch of soon to be used car salesmen protecting him in an utterly meaningless game.Seriously, the Bears are straight up ponderous. WTF is the point of this game?
Do the Beats have so little confidence in the O-line that they feel pass pro is out the door?
Let the kid throw the damn ball!!!
Seriously? You missed the point. You keep the kid out of the game, then. Putting him out there to hand the ball off a few consecutive series is pointless. Was no reason to put him out in the field for that. RidiculousTrubisky gets hit and breaks his shoulder and all the same voices would be #####ing about throwing him out there with a bunch of soon to be used car salesmen protecting him in an utterly meaningless game.
Then they shouldn't have put him on the field. Ridiculous set of events put in motion by Fox tonight. Why in the holy hell did they have Houston out there that late in the game with his injury history?!?,? HhgfffIt's the 4th preseason game. It's pretty obvious they value Trubisky closer to a starter where they don't want to risk having him out there too long. Good idea. With the final cut happening this weekend this game is more about getting more players on film for them to have a chance with other teams.
What happened to Houston? There are too many games on for me to watch the Bears game to night.Now they're even thinner at OLB than they already were. Houston out for probably the season now FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Doubt we see McPhee back until mid season, if that. They may have to trade for an OLB now. Horrific decision making tonight. What I come to expect from a team run by John Fox.
If Gentry doesn't make the 53, it'll be a travesty. He's earned his spot. Bone headed decision if they think they can stash him on the PS.Thompson seems to be targeted a fair amount - could work his way into a regular role in the rotation with White, Wright, and Wheaton (assumed)?
Hurt his knee again. Playing late into the 3rd for God knows what. Already torn both ACLs. Didn't look good. Numb skull, Fox.What happened to Houston? There are too many games on for me to watch the Bears game to night.
Top 15 defense?Now they're even thinner at OLB than they already were. Houston out for probably the season now FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Doubt we see McPhee back until mid season, if that.

You and Victor tight?#Bears WR Victor Cruz (knee) told me he is getting an MRI tomorrow.
Then why are you complaining about Houston being hurt. At least he won't be able to have a false start from the sideline.No starters played on defense tonight.
Bears said they wanted him to prepare for the game as though he were the starter. Makes sense to me.Seriously? You missed the point. You keep the kid out of the game, then. Putting him out there to hand the ball off a few consecutive series is pointless. Was no reason to put him out in the field for that. Ridiculous
Ok, thats indefensible. The decision, not the screen pass, that was very defensible.End of the 4th preseason game and you dial up a freaking screen pass with your rookie with a bunch of tomato CANS and he gets hit?! WHY YOU MORONS!? WHY?!?
HaaaahaaaBears said they wanted him to prepare for the game as though he were the starter. Makes sense to me.
