But they only went to the big dance once since the 85 season.
So being down on a player for showing confidence in probably the
best team the city has had in a long time this season just
doesn't make sense to me I guess.
With bad coaching hires (Jauron, Wanstedt), QB issues, and
injuries during that span set the team back in so many ways. I
see things looking up for the Bears this season.

The reason for the lack of news of course is the labor dispute.
We can only hope for the best. I suggest you start getting into
baseball for now until then. So complaining about Urly and
Briggs being confident about this upcoming season should make
you feel good instead of complaining.

The Tice Line...I dont know what the fuuck is going on there...
but if Tice can build that O-Line he's obviously building...
this could lead to some serious shiiit.
Protection for Cutler {at last}...
blocking lanes for RB's?
Waaaaait a mintute here...
what do you mean DAA BEARRSSE can be a team that takes it all?
Lets just back up a minute and feel sorry for ourselves...OR...
LETS KICK SOME GODDAMMMN MOTHER FUUUUUCKING ASSS!!!
WE owe G.B.,...why?
Not because they won over us when it counted...
because they punked our QB.
You get one chance to do that...now its our turn to do that to
them.
Or they are better then we are.
Thats never going to happen in the history of DAA BEARRSSE.
It's not.
This isnt business...it's personal.

Nice to see that article on Fantuz yesterday, and here's some
good news on Cutler as well:

Re Paea... he's smallish, but bull strong. With him and
Toeiana paired up we've at least got a pair of DTs that we know
will give 110% every down -- which hasn't been the case on the
interior DL for quite awhile.

Define "bad word" Stelz you irrepressible zany you!
Bad words are a state of mind...not reality.
Words are words.
I still say that TICE is building an OFFENSIVE LINE with what
could be termed "losers"
by any other teams standards.
Except...these guys havent played for Tice...yet.
Anybody remember Cedric Bensen? Bust = Chicago ... Hero =
Cinncy.

Source: Andy Fantuz impressing Bears
Jeff Dickerson/ESPNChicago.com
CHICAGO -- With so much attention given to which veteran wide
receiver the Chicago Bears should target once the NFL lockout
ends and free agency begins, one new receiver already under
contract is working to establish a rapport with his new
teammates.
Former CFL standout Andy Fantuz, who signed a reserve/futures
contract with the Bears on Feb. 4, 2011, participated last week
in the Bears unofficial offseason workouts led by quarterback
Jay Cutler, according to an NFL source.
Fantuz, who caught 276 passes for 4,136 yards and 23 touchdowns
the last five seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, drew
considerable praise from a few players in attendance at the
workouts. Granted, Cutler and fellow quarterback Caleb Hanie are
throwing passes without any defenders present, but Fantuz was
said to display impressive athletic ability and good hands while
running routes.
The 6-foot-4, 220-pound Fantuz hauled in 87 passes for 1,380
yards and six touchdowns in 2010.
With the departure of Devin Aromashodu, who failed to receive a
restricted free agent tender from the Bears, and the
unrestricted free agent status of veteran Rashied Davis, the
team will likely have an opening for at least one new wideout to
challenge for playing time in 2011. While the Bears certainly
won't rule out using free agency to further address that need,
Fantuz should be given a legitimate opportunity to win a roster
spot when/if training camp opens next month.

Could Santana Moss Be a Good Fit?
When the lockout ends, the Bears will have to squeeze months
worth of free agency work into weeks, as they have to sign 26
players just to get up to training camp numbers. According to
the Chicago Tribune's Brad Biggs, a deal between the owners and
players in the coming weeks could mean an insane July for Bears
staff:
Consider right now the Bears have only two-thirds of the players
they will take to training camp on their 80-man roster. Yes,
that includes the draft picks from April that are not under
contract. It also includes the players like wide receiver Andy
Fantuz and punter Richmond McGee, who signed reserve/futures
contracts that are binding but do not take effect until the
first day of the new league year.
Wide receiver is the position that the Bears are expected to
address in free agency. Plaxico Burress, Mike Sims-Walker,
Terrell Owens and even Randy Moss have been discussed as
possible Bears, but there is a free agent receiver who would
logically fit in with the Bears and Mike Martz's offensive
scheme: veteran Redskin wideout Santana Moss.
As Washington's top receiver, Moss had 1,115 yards over 93
catches in 2010. He's 12th among active receivers in yardage,
and his height and speed fit in well with Martz's favorite types
of receiver. In his career playing for the Jets and Redskins,
he's had four different head coaches, meaning four different
schemes. Learning Martz's won't be as difficult for him as it
would be for a young, untested wideout. He has even contributed
on kick and punt returns, and if the Bears don't re-sign Danieal
Manning, Devin Hester could use the help.
But it's not all rosy, as Moss doesn't want to leave Washington.
That means he'll command a high price, and last season, the
Bears have committed a boatload of cash to Julius Peppers and
(sigh) Chester Taylor.
When free agency does start, the Bears will have to move
quickly, but it makes sense for the team to spend the shortened
off-season going after Moss.
