So he will probably play, but wont be 100%? May make for some Drama. Hope he can make it thru the game and if they win the next one. If not wont be very exciting with flyn or tolzien or whoever there backup is.
there is no question he's playing.
just how mobile is he won't know until the game plays out.
the only time I see Flynn better be when we're taking a knee at the end of the game.

Bears hired there GM, pace from New Orleans. Sounds like todd bowles is leading candidate for head coach. If he is there guy he better not leave chicago today.

yea good week all around..fox, the sf defensive guy..then the oc from denver..not bad..dont think anybody better could have been hired..now what to do with the clowns on this team..hello mr pace?
Yes the new Bears GM & Coach + staff is very impressive....Looks like Da Bears learned their lesson hired the best possible. Might be back up the truck time these coaches are not going to waste time if the talent does not perform they will get someone else. Will be interesting to see their first player moves.

Couldnt have asked for a better staff all the way around. Honeslty the bears had one of the least attractive jobs with san fran, atlanta, denver, having openings. But they somehow managed to land some darn good coordinators and HC. Vic fangio has pretty much shut down rodgers in san fran, lets hope he can bring that to da bears. See if pace can make some moves and hit on the draft and the bears will be back in business.
Denver did the Da Bears a big favor & Pace no one's fool he reeled Fox in quickly & wham bang the rest of the staff came with Fox. Elway is a good GM so not sure what he was thinking when he let Fox go. Currently you can see the Bears coaching depth if Fox wants to retire they will transition to current staff head coach a very good situation. It will be fun to see Bears 1st player moves & anything is possible ....just have to see.

yes it will be nice having a true leader in fox. He knows what he is doing. Not sure what elway is looking for. But im sure he and peyton have had discussions and something else they wanted in kubiak. i think he is a better fit for what we need. he wont be here forever and i bet at most 3 or 4 years before he retires. maybe gase is the heir to the throne, we will have to see how they use cutler this year. I can assure the days of 50 attempt games like the last 2 seasons are LONG GONE.
Marshall must have pissed off the team in the locker room last year & his decreased production & bye bye. Cutler must have his car running in the lot now & it will cost the Bears millions to keep him much longer. Clausen was signed today..... Bye Bye Jay I won't miss ya.lol Jets give Bears 5th round choice for Marshall pretty good deal for Jets & they don't have a QB either.LOL

Interesting perspective in USA Today about that trade.
"... The Bears get worse and are just getting started
With the trade of wide receiver Brandon Marshall, it’s official: The Chicago Bears are in the early stages of a massive rebuild.
The Bears sent Marshall to the Jets for only a fifth-round pick and $3.9 million in cap savings for 2015. It’s an underwhelming package for a top-10 receiver and signals a shift in direction for the organization.
Chicago will have about $36 million in cap space after the trade is made official, according to Spotrac, but do not expect the Bears to be big spenders when free agency gets under way. There’s no point of spending big money and wasting a year of a player’s prime when it’s in the team’s best interest to be as bad as possible.
The 2015 season will be seen as a lost one before Fox and his coaching staff can start molding the roster to its liking. The Bears have 17 players headed for free agency this offseason, none of which are high priority re-signings.
Expect yet another mass exodus next offseason. Matt Forte will be 31 and without a contract. Alshon Jeffery will be a hot free agent. And free agency bust Jared Allen will likely end up a cap casualty.
The player the front office may be most anxious to purge will stick around.
Chicago is likely stuck with high-priced QB Jay Cutler for at least two more seasons, unless it can find a trade partner willing to take on a $15.5 million cap number this season. If the Bears can’t unload Cutler by March 12, $10 million of his 2016 base salary becomes fully guaranteed, per Spotrac.
But with all of the cap room the Bears will have next offseason — they have only $85.1 million committed to the 2016 roster — they could be willing to eat that $10 million in order to save nearly $6 million in cap space and officially get the rebuild underway.
The Bears will be a terrible football team for at least the next two seasons. But with the No. 7 pick in the 2015, what should be another high pick next season and a ton of cap space, Chicago will not be down for long if new general manager Ryan Pace makes the right moves..."

Da Bears have to be rebulit & are not a good football team now so to me you have to make the moves to purge the old & bring in new good young talent. To me I would purge Cutler & get on with finding a good young gun with legs. Fox likes Clauson knows him well & a bargin compared to Cutler for his price & production. Cutler would be a good #2 for a contender that needs help next season just have to see if the Bears want to keep him that long for trade bait. Never know Cutler might restructure some how but I don't think the Bears are interested seen enough & ready to move on.
yup da bears are getting their full rebuild on.
cutler will be the next causualty one way or the other.
don't see the new regime carrying him into next season.
one way or another if they have to eat all his contract, some of it, work out a buy out plan he' won't be on the roster come fall.
the pack on the other hand signing cobb are all in for SB run.
just need to get Buluga signed for about 7 mill per year.
Rodgers, cobb, lacy, nelson and our young O line is a real nice nucleus to have for the next four years.
114 mill for SUH???
are they crazy??
I'm so glad my team don't make ridiculous FA signings like this.
He's a good player but 114 mill good????
No way!!
If Suhs worth 114 mill I sure would love to be JJ Watt's agent come his free agency period.

Will be interesting this week up to the 12th with Da Bears & Cutler. If they can move him they will TN best bet for a trade but they also know the $$ pressure on the Bears. The Bears can still move Cutler later this year just will cost them more & Bears want draft picks so after the draft Cutler is a bigger slug than he is now.lol

Sounds like cutler will be back. Was hoping we could make a deal with san fran as sounds like they were trying to move keapernick. Bears are in trouble next year barring pace hitting multiple home runs in the draft. I would trade forte while he still holds value.
Packers r clearly the team to beat in nfc north.
While i don't think suh was worth 20 mil a year, he is a great player that makes everyone on the D better. While his stats arent great he commands a double team and a ton of focus.
