They need to sit Mariani from here on out.  We do not want him getting hurt playing receiver in a meaningless game.  We need him as a returner when the games count.

Yeah he won't make us forget Hester (who could ?) but he's decent in the return game...

I really like our special teams.  Much improved from last year as is the back half of our roster.

Love #60 Terry Williams.  We are going to need him until Ratliff gets back.

Sad to see Dwayne Bowe playing for his career in the 2nd of of the 4th preseason game (not really too sad- he made some good $ but he was a talent at one time)...

David "Fails" Fales performing the anti-Fail since a bad 1st quarter. Good to see...

Seeing Cutler engaged in the 4th preseason game is good to see.....

It wasn't a great football game but it was enjoyable. I think there were players who made a case for a roster spot even if it doesn't happen in Chicago

24-0 Bears!

I will take it.

I wish our starters could play with the same fire as our backups.

I liked Timu, Anderson and Mitchell and Williams and even Corny Washington. I thought even Fabubuluje  (or however its spelled) looked like a practice squad player. A lot of players got some development time tonight

I wonder if Jimmy My Head Hurts Clausen is worried after Fales performance last night.  I like the way he was making passes on the run.

I didn't see the game...yet, but encouraged by the comments on Terry Williams.  He's had a trouble past and is maybe too short and too wide to get drafted, but for a guy of his stature he's shown that he knows how to rush the passer.  With Ratliff suspended another roster spots opens up for 4 games.  It would be great for the Bears if that roster spot went to Williams.

I really didn't see much of Timu in the 2 games I watched but I don't see how he makes the roster given our depth - PS sounds like an option.

I've been keeping my eye on Washington for his first 2 years.  He's a demon on STs but for someone with his athletic talents he just hasn't shown that he's got it at 4-3 DE.  Right now it looks like he's in a battle with Brandon Dunne for the last DE spot and Dunne has the edge.

As for Mitchell, he's going to make the team - I would bet he'll be starting at sometime this season.
