Yes it was....but I mean come on....we swept them last year....and if you don't count the last game of the season last year when we had homefield wrapped up...Lovie has been 6-1 vs the Packers.

You're right Benson. Lovie has had some good success against them. But us Bears fans will take any good news we can get right now. Ya know what I mean?
benson_will_lead_the_way
Footballguy
Oh I know.....I said it was(in the first part of my post).I guess I am in a different frame of mind than others about the Bears offensive issues.Ok, lets start with Benson b/c most will critize me thier. I do not think Benson is the best RB in the league or even that he was the most athletic from his draft class. However, he fits the Bears run scheme perfectly....therefore he will lead the way. The problem with the running game is three fold. 1) The offensive line was horrible last season. I quite frankly would love to have 3 new starters on the line(with Garza as the primary interior backup). They need young blood and if they draft 3 Olineman in the first three rounds I would be happy. 2) Benson didn't fulfill expectations. He always hits the hole hard but his vision that I saw earlier in his career wasn't there. 3) The passing game...it just isn't developing but they all fall into each other. The run game help out the passing game and the Oline dictates both. Therefore, if the Bears fix or address the Oline it should help out both aspects.I am not at all concerned about the WR situation. I saw enough from Devin Hester at the end of the season to feel confident that he can at least compete for a starting spot. He ran streaks, curls, and digs successfully. Mark Bradley, I have been on his bandwagon for awhile and feel that he could be a very good Wr in this league. The Bears lost Moose....who was only holding Bradley back in my opinion and Berrian. Yes Berrian will be missed and I think was more of a solid WR in chicago than many are giving him credit for....see the game winning TD vs Denver and what about that catch vs the Saints in the NFC Championship game? However....Hester could be more electric than him and Berrian never went over 1000 yards. With a deep second tier of WR's in the draft look for the Bears to snag one in the fourth or later rounds and sign a couple vets to help develop these youngsters.Saftey is a need for this team but it also isn't. If Mike Brown is healthy this is an entirely different defense and they would've made the playoffs last year. However, without him they were lost. Daniel Manning came from a D-II school and is only entering his 3rd season....so he could develop. Archuleta showed glimpses both good and bad last season(more bad than good), McGowen is a coach favorite and Payne was lost for the season early. As much as I would like to grab a saftey in the draft...they have many that could fill the void.My draft for the Bears.Trade down in the draft to the mid 20's and pick up a second.With the first round pick they select Brandon Albert and he is the starting LG.With the two second round picks they select Sam Baker and Chad Henne.With the two third round picks(thanks to SD) they select Tony Hills and Matt Forte(Adrian Peterson can stay at Special Teams).Fourth Round - Adarius Bowman...I'll take a guy that was potentially round one but has slipped since the season.Sign a vet or two on the Oline....one DT....and Marty Booker.

Seeing as the Bears have no WR's left, are they going to line up 8 in the box and just try and run over people this year?

I think that this really means that Clark and Olsen are the main benefactors here. I see a lot of 2 TE, 2 WR formations. High % passes and a ball controlled offense. Won't matter a lick though if they can't get some lineman to protect the QB and run block.

Last year I was wishing they'd run more 2 TE sets, so with the departure of the #1 & #2 WRs, they better do so this year.

This is hardly a solution. Just a band-aid. I liked Booker too, but he's basically the same receiver that Moose was at this point in his career. He's a WR3 on most other teams who is now going to possibly be the WR1 in Chicago?Why aren't they pursuing DJ Hackett? He's going to be only 27 years old, and probably a bargain price at this point in free agency, and I for one think he was the best FA WR available besides Moss, and that includes Berrian.

While Booker isn't a 'sexy' name, he's BETTER than Muhammad, much cheaper than him, younger than him, faster than him, has better hands than him, is less greedy than him - and he's a good practice player - and the Bears are familiar with his work habits.
I like the signing - but they've still got to get an OT and/or Guard - Maurice Williams is still out there from Jacksonville.
I also want them to go after DJ Hackett, as the Bears WRs suck - and then they STILL need to draft a WR within the first three rounds of the draft.
I really think the McCaskeys are 'not that liquid' and can't afford these large up front signing bonuses.... just an observation.

didn't you read the front page on the Bears website a couple days ago. FA signings are really necessary to succeed in the NFL. It's all about resigning your own players every year drafting superstar offensive players.

From the Bears thread, just curious if you Bear fans agree with this guy:
Marty Booker is a Sick Pickup
And by sick, I mean that in a good way. The guy was amazing on a terrible bears offenses when he was here. When we had any semblence of a QB (ala Jim Miller), Booker had great years posting 100 catches and making the probowl.
Booker is a good receiver who comes cheap. Contary to what people think, Booker is a #1 reciever. Look at his numbers last year with friggen JOHN BECK at QB. Are you serious? That guy shouldn't be holding a clipboard much less throwing the football in an NFL game.
Furthermore, Grossman always had a good rep with Booker stemming from his rookie year. Anyone remember Rex's bomb to Book against Washington? Those guys are gonna tear it up next year.
And he's not old. Comeon - we put up with Moose's shananagans for a while, and Moose is older than Marty. Booker is a very solid, durable reciever and still has at least 2 good years ahead of him. Finally, Booker has always been a Chicago Bear. He was drafted by us, and was upset about being traded. Here's to his career revival next year.

First of all, Booker and Beck only had 4 games in common last year, so it's not like Booker played the entire season with him at the helm. Booker didn't exactly light up the field when Beck or anyone else was playing QB last year. 50 catches, 550 yds, 1 TD in 15 games last year. Muhammad by the way posted nearly identical numbers, with 570 yds and 3 TDs.All the Bear fans reliving the "glory years" of Marty Booker need to remember that his best season, when he had 97 catches and over 1100 yds was 2002. Six years ago. He was 26 at the time. He'll be 32 this season, not exactly young for a receiver.
Since that 2002 season he has averaged 49 catches, 668 yds, and 3 TDs per season. I'd call that consistently average for a starting receiver. Don't get me wrong, he's a decent possession receiver still, and he will help in the locker room, etc., and I think it's a decent signing for the cost, but he is not a #1 receiver.

Ok, let's review so far for the Bears.
They made a priority out of keeping Orton and Grossman. Traded Griese.
Benson is still the 'starter' with expected RBBC throwing in decent doses of Peterson and Wolfe.
Let Berrian go and cut Moose. Sign Booker.
The OL is still old and declining.
No safety help or that second DT.
It is still early in the FA period and the draft is to come but... seriously, are the Bears looking to win or have a season that matches last year in being horrible?

Not that hes some kind of stud, but they declined to match a miniscule offer sheet on Jimmy Kennedy from the Jags. Dvorachek cant stay healthy, Walker is gone. WTF??? We need bodies and Kennedy was decent in those last couple of games. You think they know they have only 3 starters on the o-line as of now?
3nOut
Footballguy
So what do you disagree with here?
The only option I wanted here was to sign Turner. But even that was a risk and a high price to pay for an uncertainty. It will be easier to draft a young RB for less and with a possibly brighter future. Again, they must draft a RB to compete with Benson. Tht said, if the OL is addressed, I still think Benson can be a serviceable RB.
Berrian was not worth the price he was asking. Are you really going to miss his five TDs? And Booker is better and younger than Moose. Many people forget that Booker was a pro bowler at one time. He's an upgrade over Moose. I'd still like to see them sign Bryant Johnson.
Agreed, this is a top priority and should be addressed in the first round of the draft this year.
So what do you recommend?
Again, be constructive and let us know what you think they should do/should have done.

3nOut glad you asked....there has been a lot of pissin an moanin in this thread lately, most of it warrented, but we need to move on. Personally I can't stand Angelo, he is the main reason we are in this mess. I do however think he has a plan. Granted his plan probably doesn't involve making the playoffs this season. We ALL know that if the Bears were going to be legit contenders this season Berrian would have been Franchised.
Moving on...As it stand we need A LOT of help on Offense. Currently there are two holes on the Offensive line. Not to mention Tait is 33 and Kruetz will be 31 soon. We have an Old unit and minimal talent to replace it. I think the Bears will sign one solid OL in FA. I think a guy Like Maurice Willaims is the perfect fit. He can play OT or G, 29 years old, and shouldn't be too expensive. The best part of this signing is that we get a bit more wiggle room going into the draft.
WR-Booker was a decent signing. He is not a real solution. I Personally hope the Bears look into another band-aid type guy in FA. I only say this because I don't see Chicago taking another WR in the draft until the 4th round or later....There isn't much out there but a Doug Gabrial or Malcom Floyd signing would be solid IMO.
QB- I don't know what to say about this spot. I hope the Bears look to draft a QB in rd2. I don't want to draft another QB labeled a Project.
RB- Again I think the best move is to bring in a vet. I personally like Musa Smith. A big back that can handle a 8-12 carry load a game. I don't think JA is ready to give up on Benson yet. I don't think we spend a 1st on a RB just because of the $$$ already tied up at the position. Give Ced one more season to show if he can be a legit back...if not, we move on.
As for DT and S...There isn't a whole lot the Bears can do address these issues. FA market is weak and the draft isn't very promising. The DT spot is full of average options next to Harris. I hate saying this AGAIN, but the Bears will see how Dusty D shakes out.
I think the Bears will be in a nice spot to trade down come draft day. I have heard two rumors that make sense. Although not from a solid source.
1) trade down with SF (14 for 29 & 39) SF wants to add another WR and thinks the best option is local guy DeShawn Jackson from CAL. He might be the small quick WR that fits the new SF system. unlike the taller first round guys Sweed, Hardy, & Kelly.
2) Trade down with TB (14 plus a 3rd or 4th for 20 and 52) Assuming Mendenhall and/or Stewart are still left, Det/ARI/HOU all pick in the next 4 picks could be looking for backs. TB moves up to grab a true 25 carry back.
Again all just rumors...but hey we need something to talk about.

To this point the Bears have done a nice job of doing two things:
1) Getting rid of old/bad players that weren't getting th job done (two old O-lineman and Moose)
2) Freeing up cap space so they could re-sign Briggs and land......?????
I also like the signing of Booker - as many have noted his better than Moose in virtually every category and is younger as well. They actually got a little better at that slot (not WR overall, just Moose's position).
As a Bear fan I have hope for the following reason:
Launching old O-lineman shows that the Bears seem to see the same weaknesses we do. Same can be said for not overpaying for Berrian and basically swapping out Moose for a cheaper, better, younger (although not "young") WR. The question is who are they going to bring in to fill the holes they've created (2 O-line, 1 WR) and the one's they already had (Safety and RB).
If they address at least some of those needs with the remaining free agents, or move up in the draft and use the cleared cap space, then I think things are moving in the right direction. If they sit on their hands for the rest of FA and draft from where their slotted now...well, let's just say 7-9 may have been better.

I think they should've definitely overpaid Berrian - for 1 year. And then, like with Briggs, who knows what happens after that... but at least they'd have Berrian/Booker instead of Booker/miscellaneous starting.
Now I think you're looking a situation where if they don't draft Malcolm Kelly, it's a guarantee that neither Grossman nor Orton is expected to stick around. Because no one is likely to "prove" much with such feeble pass-catching options around him.

Booker was a decent pickup. We got him cheap and that is all that matters to head office...As for the fan who called Booker "Sick"...all I can say is that every fanbase has its fair share of delusional fans... On the Offical site there are a couple guys who think 12+ wins is a lock
The depressing part is that with every Bears receiver on the roster the best the true believers can say is 'remember that one time'. That time Bradley scored a long TD, that time Booker did. Well, do it 10 times a season and maybe this offense will show a pulse. But that aint happenin.

I can be very pessimistic. obviously, but I don't see anything that indicates this will happend. I really hope I'm wrong here. :shrugs:

Will try to keep it short and sweet.
I hate/have hated Moose for the past couple years. While not exciting, Booker's an upgrade. I think he can be a solid #3 guy. (Whether the Bears have the luxury of using him as such is to be seen).
I'm a big Bradley fan. And until the day he's off the roster, I will believe he can be a solid NFL receiver. (Should he have played more to end 2007? Probably. Why he didn't, I'm not sure. Practice habits/health? Don't know). Do I think he can replace Berrian? Yes. Berrian wasn't worth the $$ he got, so I'm disappointed with him moving on, but it was the right move to let him go (if not franchising him).
The wildcard is obviously Hester. I think the Bears do want him to become their Steve Smith. However, I don't believe he plays with anything remotely close to Smith's "MY ball" attitude. Smith is a rare breed for his size at WR.
I will admit I don't see the point of keeping Grossman and letting Berrian go. Needless to say, Grossman's probably the best QB we've seen on the Bears in quite some time. I just pray we don't draft Flacco. I'm telling you now, the guy is Andrew Walter II.
I look for Olsen and Bradley to make big impacts in 2008. As far as the RB situation, who knows. We've got holes to fill just as much on the O-line. IMO Those holes are much harder to fill than a RB.
I have a feeling Mendenhall's the first pick if available. Not opposed to the pick, but I believe the O-line should be address in Round 1 if the BPA is a lineman. I'd like to get Henne or Brohm (unlikely to be available) in here personally in Round 2.

Brandon Lloyd played for O.C. Ron Turner at Illinois - so Turner's trying to resurrect his fading career.
Sound familiar?
Adam Archuleta played for Lovie Smith at St. Louis - so Lovie's trying to resurrect his fading career.
Meet the new boss same as the old boss.
It's a cheap one year deal.. whatever.
This is what is NOT being reported here - Rex IS the starter already - it's predetermined:
Lloyd stirs up QB controversy right away
Brandon Lloyd ran the wrong route.
In a teleconference Friday afternoon after he signed a one-year contract with the Bears, Lloyd was asked how the quarterback situation was explained to him.
``Rex Grossman is the starter. Coach Ron Turner and coach Lovie [smith] think very highly of him, and Kyle Orton, they think very highly of him also. I think that as a receiver, it’s really our jobs to make those guys look good and it’s their job to make us look good too. It’s just going to be a hand-in-hand relationship maybe I could say for all of us to get better because I think that’s really what it comes down to. We are really at a pivotal point in our careers where we really need to lean on each other and help each other out to really become what we want to become in this league.”
Oops. So much for the Great QB Battle of 2008. And we thought Grossman and Orton received nearly identical contract extensions last month with identical bonus money for a reason.

Restricted free agent WR Rashied Davis has reportedly drawn interest from the Seahawks and Chiefs.
The Chicago Tribune adds that the Bills "jumped into the mix Monday afternoon." Like they need another sub-6'0 receiver. Davis received the low tender from the Bears, so they won't be compensated if he leaves with an offer sheet.

Has JA spoken at all about the team's situation? I mean has he given us any insight to what he's thinking?

Extra points
The Bears were one of about 15 teams attending the pro-day workout of Delaware quarterback Joe Flacco on Thursday, according to agent Joe Linta. If they have any interest in Kentucky quarterback Andre Woodson, they're doing a good job of disguising it. Twenty-five teams were represented at Woodson's workout Wednesday in Lexington, and a coach on hand confirmed a report in the Louisville Courier-Journal that the Bears were one of the seven absent.
Seeing Mocks with Da Bears drafting Woodsen in the 2nd or 3rd make me gag
