I'm trying to be optimistic, but I can't talk myself out of the notion that the Bears are an injury or two away from once again having the nfl's worst run defense.

It's Clausen's to lose.

I agree with that. I wonder if Palmer got any more points in consideration after the win though.

Game 1 I think Clausen was a lot better. Yesterday, I think Palmer was. I did not catch the whole game though, so my opinion may not be exactly accurate.
Watched the first half then caught the last bit of the game

Would Palmer even get an NFL job if not with the Bears? I think he's a guy we have a chance to sign to our practice squad if they want to keep him around.

#Bears will waive/injured Zach Miller with his foot injury.

Too bad, he was playing well.

I hope some good WR's or at least capable WR's get cut in coming weeks

Weems is terrible and rest of group doesn't seem to be anything more then #5's (Morgan has been alright but nothing special)

Yeah, the WRs are brutal and Weems has got to go. I'm hoping we scoop up some of the cuts from other teams. We need a return man too.

#Bears say Zach Miller is going straight to Injured Reserve with his bad foot.

Bears set to sign Santonio Holmes!!!!

Report: Bears set to sign Santonio Holmes
by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(10:53 am ET) The Bears are on the verge of signing veteran wide receiver Santonio Holmes, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
The 30-year-old Holmes, who had been released by the Jets, will battle for a roster spot behind Bears standouts Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall. He struggled with injuries and production the last three seasons with the Jets.


from what I have seen from the other guys...I LOVE IT!!!

I hate Holmes, but why not at this point???

He isn't the player he once was but he should be productive enough behind Marshall/Jeffery and when Wilson comes back the Bears will have a pretty good 1-4 WR group

I doubt Holmes will be a diva because he knows how close he is to being out of NFL with lack of interest in him this offseason

Bears WR Marquess Wilson (broken right collarbone) is expected to be sidelined until "at least" midseason.
According to a source with "knowledge of the injury," Wilson broke his collarbone in three separate places. The specific timeline is 12-14 weeks.
It means he'll almost certainly begin the year on injured reserve/designated to return, and leaves the door open for Santonio Holmes to run away with No. 3 duties. I.R./return would make Wilson ineligible to return before Week 10, as the Bears are on bye in Week 9. Week 10 would be a best-case scenario, and isn't terribly likely. Wilson no longer has re-draft upside for the 2014 season, but remains a hold in Dynasty leagues. Aug 18 - 2:30 PM

First, ouch. Second, didn't know this but he can't go on PUP since he practiced in camp.
