    I could see the Panthers trying to move one of those guys for a pick or picks. They are clearly in rebuild and playing a rookie QB. they need picks if for nothing more than to build an O-line around him.

    What I don't know and didn't click to see if it talked about it, but what are the possible future salary cap considerations a trade w/ the Panthers would bring?

      I wouldn't put a trade past TT. If he really thinks were superbowl bound, what GM wouldn't get the missing cog even at a premium?

      He wouldn't overpay for anything. (Well, at least that's what I've read here for the last 5 years anyhow, and today, I believe it.)

      Again - In this case, we should run with what we have. I actually agree with him doing nothing.

        Wow, what a dynamic backfield we'll have with Lynch already as good as signed. I bet by next week we'll also have Peterson and Gore lined up.

          Im trying to find the quote but Jennings said something to the effect that without a running game the Bears cover 2 zone shut himself and Donald down for the night. I think he tweeted it.

            Good for him. Maybe he should check the stats - Driver had nine catches. Jennings would have had 50 more yards receiving had he caught the bomb Rodgers placed in his hands. Maybe he should tweet that he stunk up the joint on Monday Night.

              ok, but you have to admit we do need to run the ball some. 50-80 yards a game. with these guys or another guy.

                I doubt that on several levels. I doubt that he said that, and I doubt that the Bears don't try to take away the deeper stuff that is Jennings's bread and butter no matter who we have running the ball. Driver had 9 catches, so he hardly got shut down.

                The twitter acct, "Greg85Jennings" is of dubious veracity and there is nothing regarding the lack of running game on it anyhow.

                Besides, if he really did say that, maybe he should have hung onto that bomb near then end of the first half!

                  And to me that is perfectly fine. If the Tampa 2 shut down Jennings and Driver down you will have Finley one on one against Urlacher down the middle every play. I'll take Finley against ANYONE 1-on-1 down the seem with the safeties taking away the WRs.

                  I thought our quick passes to BJack were effectively runs on Monday night.
                  But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

                    Didn't anyone see that there was no where for any running back to run? Tauscher kept getting pushed back on the run blocking and Clifton couldn't block on the backside. Doesn't matter who your running back is.

                      I saw it. The bears DL whipped our OL in both aspects....just not quite as bad in the passing game.

                        the only thing that kept the packers from winning that game was the penalties. take those away and they kill the bears.


                        .......well penalties and points!

                          According to the NESN article here.... http://www.nesn.com/2010/09/should-p...awn-lynch.html

                          it is speculated that the Bills want a 4th rounder. Am I missing something???????

                          Now I read something that the Bills would want a player and a draft pick. So at this point is the hangup really Hawk????

                            I wouldn't believe the rumors. Earlier, it was speculated that the Bills wanted a second round pick. Marshawn Lynch is better than Laurence Maroney, and the Pats got a fourth round pick for Maroney.

                              First off .... the Buffalo Bills will not trade Lynch to the Patriots. They may deal him but not to an AFC East team.

                              Second .... when Hawk has played he has been all over the field. He led the team in tackles last week and was 2nd in tackles against the Bears behind Tramon.

                              The hangup with Hawk is his contract and the more than $10,000,000+ he is supposed to make next year. Who wants to trade for a player that you know will only play 12 games or less for your team? Hell, even if he was a Pro Bowler for the Pack this year we would restructure or cut Hawk at that salary level.

                                Right now the Packers are averaging 95.8 ypg rushing.

                                The Bears are leading the league in rushing defense by a wide margin, at 39.7 ypg allowed. The Packers got 63. Some of that was Rodgers, but it helps to keep things in perspective. The other two teams that played the Bears got 20 and 36 yards rushing.

                                John Kuhn is tied with Marion Barber for most rushing yards gained against the Bears. Kuhn got 31 in 6 carries, Barber needed 11 to get the same yardage.

                                Our running game is OK. Not great, not horrible. OK.
