Week 13: Bears vs. Minnesota - Sunday, Dec 3, 12 pm CST

[cubweiser03]

Running the Thomas Jones way:

 

1) if you see the back of one of your linemen, run into it

2) if there is a small hole opened up by the o-line, dance and shuffle your feet in the backfield, a bigger hole might open up

3) always try to get the corner, even if cutting it inside might get you at least 4 or 5 good yards; don’t settle for anything less

4) if a defender is coming, get out of bounds; no need to take unnecessary contact

5) if you are in the open field, dive for that extra yardage...always; that would-be tackler 5 yards off the ball would have gotten you anyway

 

:D

[jjgman21]

that was late Hunter.

[Banedon]

Fumble! Bears win!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

FUMBLE! Hunter!

[jaydee]

viqueens are sore losers...nothing new there.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Not bad for the defense:

 

Got the starting QB benched.

Got the backup QB injured.

Got the starting RB injured.

[treebird]

vikings should've kicked the field goal as soon as they got inside the 30.

excellent summarty. now on his pass blocking and receiving abilities...

That's easy:

 

Pass blocking: Blindly hurl your body at the nearest pass rusher, it will disrupt his rhythm.

 

Receiving: Catch it and fall down. Making a move after the catch is for sissies.

DIVISION CHAMPS!!!

How do you win a game with 34 passing yards, 3 INT, and only 6 first downs?

[Brian]

BACK TO BACK NFC NORTH CHAMPIONS

[CaliforniaRaisin]

NFC NORTH CHAMPS!

[RynoRules]

Nice sportsmanship, Rex.

[ConstableRabbit]

Nice sportsmanship, Rex.

 

What happened?

[RynoRules]

Nice sportsmanship, Rex.

 

What happened?

 

He took a knee and ran off the field into the tunnel like he has a plane to catch. I guess he could be going to relieve himself, but I sincerely doubt it.

Playing the Viqueens definitely helps.

Zoom: Time for Griese

 

Dent: Time for Griese

 

Jiggets: Defense can't be relied on for that many turnovers every time, some decision at QB must be made, maybe some adjustments....something.

 

 

 

Jiggets: That lack of offense at some point is going to burn you, and burn you badly.

 

 

 

Damn straight. It's time to just try Griese. Can't be worse than Rex.

[ToupeeOnFire]

We clinch the division, and it feels 'eh'.

 

I hate to be a Negative Nancy, but...

 

a) Rex played like crap

b) the defense gave up nearly 200 yards rushing

c) Tommie Harris hurt

d) Nathan Vasher hurt

 

Oh well, a win is a win, and back-to-back NFC North Division championships is nice; but I feel worse about this team than I did before the opening kick-off.

Seriously, this is beyond me not liking Rex anymore. Try Griese. If he doesn't work out, then go back to Rex. You no longer have anything to lose. A 0.0 rating is BEYOND pathetic. HFA isn't going to matter if Rex keeps playing like he has been.

[Jon]

Grossman was bad, Jones was bad, the receivers were bad, and the playcalling was bad.

 

There is no reason to make a switch at QB. And there's even less of a urgency to make a switch.

[Omar]

Yeah. It woudnt hurt to try Griese.

Go right back to Rex? So you sit Grossman for two or three weeks, go back to Rex right before the playoffs start, and expect him to play better than he did today?

 

They're not facing good competition the rest of the way. Let the offense come back together again over the last four weeks.

 

They're not going to be making any switches, so it doesn't really matter.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

What Jon said.

[Jon]

Tommie Harris re-injured that knee, apparently, that put him on the injury report this week.

The Vikings were junk too. I doubt this offense suddenly "comes together" when it was terrible against the worst pass D in the league.

 

You're probably right no changes will be made.
