Preseason #1: at Cincinnati

We outgain them on the ground and in the air, but in the second half last year's QB Hardy Holleran comes in, takes 3 sacks and fumbles all 3 times. Oh, it's going to be a pleasure to cut his a$$.

Defensively, rookie SB Dan Pretko (that's SB for our hybrid "safetybacker" position) leads the team with 6 tackles, while 2nd year DE Doug Conley does a nice job harrassing the QB.

Still, can't make up for Holleran tossing this one down the drain. Chicago loses 21-13.

ROSTER NOTE:
After his abysmal performance in the first preseason game and last year's record of untimely turnovers, QB Hardy Holleran has been released from the Chicago Bears. Nine-year vet Wade Chandler (24/35) was signed to take his roster spot.

Preseason #2: vs. JAX


2nd year QB Fernando Windsor continues to outshine his more veteran peers, putting up a 99.3 passing rating in this game to go with his 87.8 last week. But ineffectiveness in the endzone hurt us.

On defense SB Dan Pretko again led all tacklers, while both team's pass rush was ferocious. Doug Conley led the Bears with 1 sack, 1 block, 1 hurry and 5 knockdowns.

But in the end, it was K Rusty Schafluetzel who came through in the clutch, booting 4/4 including one from 52 yards out to give us the win, 19-14.
