Divisional Round: Bears vs. Seahawks - Sun Jan 14, 12 pm CST

[Jon]

According to the Bear Report (WSCR), Tank Johnson will be playing the 3 technique tackle on Sunday. Not a HUGE surprise, but good news nonetheless.

.

 

Smart move. He is a natural UT, not NT.

 

they have an nt... his name is ian scott, and scott needs to have a monster game this week.

I'm predicting a Scott pass deflection for a pick on Sunday.

They just released more tickets online. I just bought a pair of $95 seats to the game! Crappy seats (behind the North endzone) but I could care less!

 

Don't knock those end zone seats. I had a pair to the Buffalo game, and every TD except one was scored in my end zone. They wound up being the best seats in the house, bar none.

 

Have fun at the game!

Same with me, although I was in the north endzone in the 100 level. Awesome seats, especially since they were only $65. The only thing that was going to complete that game for me was a TD in the north endzone and that happened after the kickoff fumble recovery.

 

Then they lost the shutout :(

 

That was also Cedric Benson's first TD as a pro, I do believe.

Gale Sayers on ESPN News saying the Bears can't win the Super Bowl with Grossman (or Griese).

 

He also stated that Rex "didn't think about his teamates" when he publicly admitted to being under-prepared against Green Bay. Claims he should have said that to his teamates and left it at that.

 

Also LT can't be considered "the best" because there are too many domes in the NFL now? Also because of the hash marks being in closer.

 

Whatever.

 

Sayers grates on my nerves sometimes. I tend to tune him out.

 

I know he's a legend, but I just don't like his commentary. At all. Hampton's either.

Gale Sayers is a just a bitter, jealous old man. And I've thought that since long before he ever uttered Rex Grossman's name.

 

He has always seemed to resent the great players that came after him, Walter in particular. That LT comment is just another example.

He's got a little Joe Morgan thing going on.

[David]

I could be wrong, but I think he was pretty critical of Devin Hester coming in, when people were asking Sayers about all the punt return records and such.

Agreed. Sayers sucks. He has also "hated" on Payton in the past.

I could be wrong, but I think he was pretty critical of Devin Hester coming in, when people were asking Sayers about all the punt return records and such.

 

Have we come to the point where anything but a kick/punt return touchdown or a long return is underperforming for Hester? I remember in 2004 Ichiro Suzuki hit .372 and the next year he hit .303.. and that was considered a bad year for him.

Honestly, lately, I'm just happy when he doesn't fumble it or somehow screw up the actual receiving of the kick/punt (i.e. running after a fair catch signal, not knowing the fair catch signal).

 

He is hella exciting when he does secure the ball, though.

Everyone... please console me.... I HAD A CHANCE TO GET TICKETS. Thanks to everyone here, I decided to give ticketmaster a chance like a lot of you did. I ended up getting seats. I quick called my friend in Chicago because I needed his credit card due to the stupid rule of not selling tickets to people living in different states. He is also a die hard bears fan. So I call him and say "hey...got bears tickets...need your credit card." He replies "hey, oh my god, awesome!!... ok.... wait.... I have to call (his girlfriend) and see if she will let me go." I was not thinking because I was too excited. He didnt call me till ten minutes later. We lost the tickets.. ](*,)

He had to get permission from his gf to go to a Bears playoff game? Weak.

Ouch. Keep trying tonight and tomorrow, though.

I found at least one pair out there right now, not including some $375 seats.

I'm sick to my stomach regarding this game now.

 

I can't take another playoff loss, I just can't. I seriously might enter depression for a few months. I know, I know, its just a game, but Chicago Bear football is part of my life. Please bring home a victory boys.

 

Bear Down.

That's funny considering LT has played 5 of his 97 career games in a dome. And I don't even understand the hash marks comment. Gale Sayers= Joe Morgan.
