  The Bears need to build a team around this quarterback. Jay is one of the better quarterbacks in the league, but when you add the fact that there is no running game with a poor wide receiver corps it will make any quarterback look awful. Peyton Manning would look bad if he played with this years Chicago Bear team. Then add the fact that this teams offensive line is one of the worse

Washington should be ashamed of themselves. for many years season ticket holders have supported a team and franchise with the most racist nickname in the history of sport. The current ownership lives in the fifties where these derogatory names were often used by athletic departments and the average person on the street. Many schools saw no problem using offensive names to serve as mascots of their team. This was in an era before political correctness became popular in many of the nations universities. many have adopted name changes due to pressure from activist groups that were rightfully disgusted with nicknames as "Indians" and "Redman" representing their schools. The name of the pro football team in Washington is a disgrace. The commissioner needs to take a stand and put more pressure on the organization in Washington to change the name of the franchise. I can't believe there has not been more political pressure on the team to change its name. It seems like nothing has been even talked about the disgusting nickname for the Washington football team for years. American Indians activists have been visibly silent since their super bowl protests when the Redskins played the Kansas City Chiefs. Both team names are offensive, but the redskin stands out particularly as racist. It is just plain wrong to still have this nickname in 2009. The owners in Washington could care less who their team hurts or what that term use to mean in American history. If the arrogant owner Daniel Snydor of the Washington Redskins did what was right he would of changed the name of the team immediately. He can change the name of the team to the Washington Pigskins in honor of the fans and the game of football. Fans love to dress up as hogs in Washington and a football was at once time called pigskin. They then can retain some of the tradition of the name. Whatever they do the name "Redskin" needs to go along with their logo as many a college teams have done so.

Saints best in NFL so far

It seems by now Matt Forte is never going to regain the flash he showed last year. Is it time now the Chicago bears get a little desperate and try something else. Maybe Throw Devon hester in the back field and see what he can do. They could use him like the Steelersused Kordell Stewert some years ago. Devon Hester can show Chicago bear fans the unique Multi functional talent that got his that huge contract. the fact is both Hester and Forte are showing nothing in offensive flash. Not having a running attack is putting pressure on Jay Cutler and hurting the team. It was a mistake to get rid of both Thomas Jones and Cedric Bensonand rely on somebody who was unproven and only had one good year. What is Curtis Enis doing these days. this next game and some other ones against very beatable opponents are crucial. They cannot afford to have many losses as the Chcago Bearsseem uncapable of beating the good teams. To have any chance of even a nice 9-7 team like last year, the Bears have to win out right against the scrub teams like the Cleveland Browns this weekend. Wear your orange and support and cheer for them to destroy the brown wearing their best Sunday's orange jerseys. If the Bears don't win huge like the packers last week this will be a disappointment.

The Cincinatti Bengals made a wise decision in giving Cedric Bensonanother shot. Teams sometimes don't give players a second shot after their first NFL teams experience doesn't work out. Cedric was harassed by fans,media, and teammates in Chicago from day one when he reported to camp after a holdout his rookie year. The Chicago bears were filled with drama in cedric Benson's few years with the running back controversy between him and the veteran Thomas Jones. Cedric Benson was drafted to be the future running back in Chicago Jones and some of his friends on the team had a problem with that. Cedric was given a second chance with the Bengals and now it is paying dividends now this year as he is running his way to a pro bowl appearance. That attitude of certain Chicago bear fans to Benson on blogs and talk radio clearly show a dislike for the man to this day. It was great to see him stick it to his Chicago detractors who have bashed him for years in the media. Kudos to the Bengals in getting this man to show the NFL the true football talent he had that Chicago held back for his first three years. Cedric Benson has come to a less pressure environment and an organization that treats their players well.

 The Chicago Bears offense seems to have problems developing players over the years.  Kyle Orton left the team and now he is having an All Pro year for the Denver Broncos leading them to their best start in years. He languished in a Bear offense that didn't develop his ability to be a leader.  It is no accident he is outplaying Jay Cutler so far this year. I expect to see Cutler regress as a quarterback now he is with the Chicago Bears. The Chicago Bears offensive coaches do a horrible job in getting players to perform to their draft ability. Greg Olsen is having a bad year and Matt Forte is having a disastrous one.

   Cedric Benson is another football player that got screwed by the Bears coaching staff and organization. He has gone so far as to say the Bears blacklisted him to other teams. Luckily for the Cincinnati Bengals they did not listen to what the Bears said about him. He has gained more than two hundred yards than Matt Forte thus far in the season. I am glad to see Cedric become the player people expected him to be once he got free from the Chicago Bears organization. This guy had tremendous talent that the Bears were never able to get out in three seasons.  Iremember reading that players who liked Thomas Jones hazed poor Cedric and threw him in a tub of freezing ice water filled tub. The Bears will see what they missed out on this weekend as Cedric will run all over his former mates. I shudder to think what would happen if Walter Payton came out to this current coaching staff and regime. The Bears don't develope many players because rookies get hazed by the veterans and are treated like Michael Jordon was treated by fellow veteran All Stars at his first All Star game. The Chicago Bears need to clamp down on the  personal drama and hazing of rookies. It ruined Cedric Benson's short career and who knows how many countless other players.

The Chicago bears failed to make the playoffs last season despite a winning record. They would of finished 10-6 last year had they not blown a late fourth quarter lead against the Atlanta falcons. The Bears get to travel to Atlanta again to play this team almost a year to the date of the meltdown game. They were embarrassed last year by a rookie burning them in the late seconds of an important early season game. I really expect and hope the Chicago bears to avenge that disastrous game against the Falcons. The Chicago Bears defense needs to dramatically make up for that game by bringing the heat to Matt Ryan. He needs to pay for what he did to the bears last season. The secondary really needs to step it up as they made this Matt Ryan look like John Elway. I don't know where the coverage was late in the game last year, but I do know it better be there this Sunday night. Matt Ryan is no longer a naive rookie and if the Chicago bears are not careful they will be lite up like the San Francisco 49 ers were last week. The Atlanta Falcons look like they are going to be another tough opponent. The game last year ruined the playoff possibilities for the Chicago Bears. The Bears will have got off to a great start this season with a victory and I am sure they will not take Atlanta lightly this time. in fact, they have all the incentives for a big game. This is a victory they need for the city,the fans, and their coach. I am sure all week Lovie Smith has not got anyone on the team to forget about that debacle last year in Atlanta. Now they just have to go out there and destroy Matt Ryan and the Falcons. That is lot easier to say than to do.
