" At palace hall is -- save Menendez says are Bears report on the score highs back hello guys is there anyone who doesn't remember what happened last year in Atlanta. We are the players I remember then. The Bears lost the Falcons 22 to 20 -- the word revenge was brought up today by reporters asking questions but Lovie Smith is apparently erase the memory card from last year's collapse in Atlanta. Revelations. Were whereas this year we're -- good 2000 and Milan attain and that's about -- we -- don't believe -- equally as wanna shuffle Bears today who admitted -- change is indeed on his mind if you ask this question as heroes and no. The way he was there. You know playing with the and you can understand why because they failed to finish the things that the Bears have -- in the fourth quarter of most of the games this year. They failed to do. Many different games where. -- including the Atlanta game which to me was the snapshot of what went wrong last year there was a lot of the a lot of opportunities last year for the Bears to close out games and all they needed was from. One of those games to be closed out in order to make the playoffs they failed to do so so far this year they've done a nice job of being able finish but again. -- you will hear the Bears to sweet talk about starting faster because there's a belief that if you go out and perform the way you did against the Lions in that first half if you do that against Atlanta. Sunday night he could get ugly and you might not be able rallied back -- went well."

" I think -- really the only other thing here is a deal while all this is nice about -- and other revenge and we all know what happened last year with a missed assignment where they'll -- is supposed to be. Hingis that I'd I don't know if you watched him yesterday you -- dislike of all time. You know. But then if you -- who would before I believe they've played the Patriots in new England and I didn't see much I mean I didn't -- pretty much got stifled -- again -- one of those teams like you know what he really believed to you know I mean -- ready really that good. To go to the post just beat Mike's well Mike Singletary not happy. I'm quite low and saw all claiming it people employee in game pep talks -- Oregon. From the bid for the amount twelve -- Popular field and you look like little that we look at you -- oh my god the Bears are in for a beat dawn of a lifetime but I don't necessarily think that's going to happen good. But I eyewitnesses they saw one is gonna be bad -- doesn't both good but he gets harder you you're never gonna give this Bears team a beat then you might beat them. Do you feel like I I just think they're there to resilient offensively."

" I think this actually might be the exact opposite of the game that we saw last year remember it was an. All ugly team on off in what we're both teams really until that fourth quarter where the Bears made that big play Kyle Orton with his first game winning none winning drive with the Bears game winning. -- I was just close to a game winning drive if she's ever had I was until there's a fourth quarter lead taking driving woolly hat. Have the fourth quarter lead taking drive and it was going to be his signature moment as a bear. And then bam they gave it up and eleven seconds where the Falcons have three big plays that took advantage of the bad sweep kick by -- medical. -- earned the right move. Yeah so so they get to their own 44 then six seconds to go Matt Bryant hit some Michael Jenkins the Bears and by the way you'll hear a lot of people say that the Bears were in the base cover two defense. During that moment no they were playing comfort three but the bottom line is. -- still not supposed to have that happen and they they let a guy go out of bounds 12 to go and then in the game winning field goal by Jason human to win it it was. Perfect execution by the Falcons taking advantage of numerous their mistakes late but even in the fourth quarter but the Bears that. Gotta drive with a -- scored a touchdown Pawlenty was punch -- in from the one they couldn't score with their small offensive line and the remember Tommie Harris at one point. It got to take away and then took the ball and spun it around like -- tweedle trials. Yet I. I knew that there were a lot of different things that happen the next game that contributed to the loss but -- the bottom line is we noticed. The Falcons can score I think the Falcons have a good offense we don't know what they're like defensively because they've been up and down all season and that's why. If -- kind of scratching your head instead trying to figure out what kind of Falcons team you have. Offensively they're balanced they can run that they can throw an able big play receiver and a big play receiver -- give the Bears a lot of trouble last time out against Detroit."

" I just don't like with the Bears have had to do to generate pressure they've stacking up against this. In what they've been doing to send to pretty much everybody a lot of the timing and trust your cover two Shell behind it trust your zones. And say if they can if we if we don't get him. He knows where he can throw the ball there's going to be a guy and this guy is big and mobile and smart and strong armed. -- Matty ice and he people finex act well yeah I'm I'm if it's gotta finish asked to be. If pressure is generated by the front four. The Bears have a chance right there. And when you say the front for what you mean is without any help we you don't have to blitz where you get that pressure off them what I don't mean I mean I while tight ends up with a sack because they sent everybody and he got the sack I mean. That they don't need -- don't need to take guys out of coverage to generate a pass right."

" Frank and I think that the way to take advantage please take it to do that the same kinds of things you where you get that -- now look where the Bears are gonna blitzed but. Have to do with every single time but the key to making that happen guys -- for Tommie Harris to generate pressure in the middle. And whoever's playing next to Tommie Harris whether it's Anthony Adams or Marcus Harrison who's been invisible for most of the season -- Got to step up and have a big game too."

" you know it so interesting to how much the story line has changed in the years since -- game because. Let's just storyline inability Louisville we don't want this this kid quarterback maybe he's gonna be okay but what what's what's frightened everybody was Michael Turner. Yes he -- the crap out of everybody the Bears is ever -- I don't remember much I Elena Merling got here but I mean he he guided the Bears did a pretty good job -- I -- started -- like they're killing people. In an oh my god uses -- I don't know doesn't things don't work. In as it turned out. Matty ice was a guy that gives him you know -- we we don't have quite you exactly -- We were doing now is that what can't this good a veteran bears' defense confused -- quarterback in the answer was no numb nuts is a matter of fact they really can't. Right now Michael Turner you're right had only 54 yards in that game against the Bears two point two yards per carry but unfortunately. For the Bears seemed like every defensive back they had got hurt Mets came down -- you know Susan. Zack Bowman game last year -- wind -- Minnesota Minnesota because he has to be better. -- if we can not see what we just saw from Zack Bowman absolutely because this is got to -- got a proven all of the imaginary interceptions and he had during OTAs all the talking all that he's actually healthy is that her yet played a game better. You have to do this game at."

" Absolutely I think he was star struck in having to face Calvin Johnson all we believe in innocent and I think he's got to adjust to with and I. And I don't know fees are strike you'd punch the amount to a dreaded jammed -- back to but I. You looked like he was he looked like he was playing a guy who was on a completely different level they want this and that. That's gonna happen and Roddy White has now Roddy White Sox not as good as Calvin Johnson but he's in big time playmaker. Point when he gets the ball and remember that game by Matt Ryan was the first time in his career he has thrown for 300 yards in the and Roddy White had a huge and had nine receptions for a 112 yards I guess. Not a huge game if you look at what you do in the first half yesterday to get a 185. Yards receiving and did little else and at first yeah. Finished with -- But remember Harry Douglass had a big game. He was the other guy had five receptions for 96 yards so the passing attack. Who would cut. They they took it kind of like what the Bears have done in terms of taking an engine teams trying to overcompensate. To stop the run at Matt. Matt Ryan was able to do that's the Bears last year but he did it against a bunch of third and fourth stringers in that secondary and you wonder if you're gonna see an improvement from Zack Bowman. I was gonna say this for my nugget but he was out on the practice field today working with Charles -- after practice spent a good twenty minutes after practice working with the assistant defensive backs coach -- bird and and Charles Tillman in terms of his technique and making sure that what you saw that first half against Detroit doesn't happen in Atlanta. What were."

" He Falcons it turned out RBI all numbers in terms of rushing the passer because of the if you're gonna get anything done you only have one chance to -- I don't know if he's good enough to beat them down there. Vibes I mean color I don't know -- won those games you table maybe he'd come nor rescue again. Just gives us -- sooner or later that big deal with the orders just gonna be a little bit too tall even free throw."

" But I also think you're gonna find out if the running game that you saw against Detroit is truly bad. Or if that was just -- playing the Lions and you were able -- Paula I think that's something that we're gonna find out in this game and that's why when you look at that these teams are around the NFC the Bears are at at second tier level -- You can't pull them up there with teams like the Vikings in the Giants because. You know and you don't know what the identity of this the only. Only thing we've learned about the Bears so far in 2009 is the shakeup there are some clutch quarterback and they had a special teams unit that can make plays and they're never out of it that's it you're not -- as the quarterback debate the Bears will be in every game that. Absolutely because of the because of right. And because for the first time -- in I I really think that you can say that for the first time since McMahon you have a quarterback and they you win beat. 'cause I'm -- about what -- is exactly now the question is is Matt Forte at running back if you win because of or running back if you win week in between and and that's that's kind of an issue that the Bears -- dealing with at this point yeah. Because when the offensive line is in great so far there's still meshing they're still -- it's gonna take a little bit of time. That's where the running game has come."

" you know when you look at those those teams you mentioned that I mean did you just don't wise and you'll go from one to -- way of really having a roster that's that's that's you're you're not you know something's gonna beat to death with a 5353. I mean you -- Bears just don't go quite like the Giants that's quite like the Vikings a readers of this very good players of the -- heard about but not that many hits and went quite enough yet. What the pierce had not been on offense they've not been consistent from start to finish on defense they've not been consistent from start to finish until that happens you can't. Compare them to the giant Mel won't -- as -- another way of saying they're not as good guys and -- an -- coaches use the word but we've done these things. Well we just haven't done them consistently that means your mediocre. Pissed because if you didn't consistently you do good guys till the Bears in the -- I don't have -- my don't have -- Bob Bob and I certainly don't -- more going to be -- did -- all of a sudden somebody's you know you have an order -- good season as fans I mean that's not what bothered about feet but did you feel so that was being and other people's parents unfortunately that's something that you can and you know what's so that -- actually that you get paid for. I just see if there's just done enough of enough there even despite being you know the emergence of showing no accident -- I there's just not. You know when you look at -- they have an opportunity to route to taking a few -- this week they're big they're -- they have an opportunity to prove that -- a lot better than I think they are."

" Our bread and they're still again knew exactly right we talked about this last week -- there are there are aspects of this football team and they pick you got a glimpse of in training camp that you. Haven't really seen on a full time basis for the regular season and it doesn't exist yet locked -- but -- We don't know that it's okay. Hit it just got. I think we all believe that Greg Olsen is a better player than what we've seen -- shirt no I'm not I'm not sure I am actually starting to think the other way a little bit. I think there's more there how much more he. It is the question I think series more it in terms of the nose tackle position I think there's more Marcus Harrison that we've seen I wanna see what kind of an impact pieces to -- we Samoa has at strong side linebacker -- goes home to. What -- is true I honestly do think is your commitment we can't just assume it that we have with -- we have to. Revise our standards upwards -- what I would like possible to do that eventually the conclusion is what you see is what you get very -- very well may be the case but I would like to think we if it did improve quarterback play then you will see Greg Olsen played better than you did a year -- and so I are Seattle yes and match that level."

" W I'm not I'm not I don't know you know -- everytime you have personal everytime he gets the ball somebody -- the -- is just gives him a beating that you roll call. How many times he would take a beating guys that I take questions I shouldn't have to wait until game five no which is here are reminiscent of buddy he's he's not a rookie. Did anybody -- he's healthy. --"

" I think they just have to play better right -- to run before particularly but I think he can't it's not as though I'm okay we're taking the leap and saying can this guy play better than what he's been doing many better this point did you better be able to -- in the prefer don't I don't. It's fair to expect it to make -- okay well and based on what I've seen it. You guys have seen in practice what we saw last year you have to think that eventually that's gonna happen if it doesn't it doesn't but. I would like to think there's more there than what we've seen. To date and by the way thanks you -- question good I hate even getting a lot of this -- Morton's stuff a lot of calls about Kyle Orton though we haven't taken one you -- right could we be happy Cuba but they're a lot of people out there could have been listening all day and wipers on -- you have to -- is there anyone that can truly say that the Bears would be a better team today. With Kyle Orton and Jay Cutler not a fear that if you're -- television and heavy on the television and another target and that's not to knock anything to Kyle Orton is done but I don't think Kyle Orton leads you back three different times over the last three games the way Jay Cutler."

" They also look they look can't run the offense the -- runs because they can't protect like that right it exactly into that you can't throw a six yard dig do Brandon Marshall haven't herded into fifteenth if these. They're using Kyle -- exactly the way they should they're not asking him do anything he can't examine. And he's throwing short digs crosses screens and making the most of his family Howard why don't."

" On Friday as always -- and why exactly congratulations to him but I. I think what Jerry Angelo said at the end of last season still holds true with Kyle -- here I don't think you could say that the quarterback position would be stabilized I think -- is now because -- kickoff. Provides that we -- we brawls on -- merger this damn game already."

" The play and what today after the league."
