And they should

[USSoccer]

Anyone catch Lovie's postgame comments?

[TruffleShuffle]

I blame the refs. Considering the conditions, there was NO reason not to cancel the game upon conclusion of the opening play. It waas so dangerous and they put all the players in harm's way.

 

the saints want a do-over from last week, too :wink:

[BeerHere]

This game sucked. Plain and simple. It's not enough that I have to hear it from my in-laws (live in Indy and are Colts/Cards fans) year after year about being a Cubs fan, not I'll have to relive this [expletive] superbowl every indy 500, thanksgiving and xmas for the rest of my life.

 

Peyton Manning is a prick, threw his team under the bus after they lost last year, now he'll get all the credit in the world for the Bears losing this game. Give me a [expletive] break.

Peytom Manning is probably a jerk to his teamates.

Marshall Faulk was the smartest player they'll ever have and he knew to get the hell outta that crap hole.

YES!!!!

 

This is probably a good thing, but as an Eagles fan who has watched his team stay good for an extended period, I think the Bears (or any team) have to suffer some painful losses in free agency to maintain success. I remember back when the Eagles dumped Troy Vincent and Bobby Taylor, everyone was furious - until Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown played Pro Bowl-calibre football. They let Jeremiah Trotter go in his prime, and they released Corey Simon.

 

They identified their leader on defense (Dawkins) and let a lot of other guys walk. The Bears don't have the high-priced quarterback like the Eagles do, but they're still going to have to draft well so that they can replace talented players who they can't afford to keep.

Maybe, but he's damn good during the game, and that's all I'd really care about.

Like they did w/ Briggs when Rosie Colvin went to NE?

[Chris]

Awesome game and good for Peyton. I couldn't be any more thrilled for him. In addition, Joseph Addai is a stud.

[cubs121]

along with Briggs, im more worried about the coach problems... esp. if Rivera leaves..... someone help a bears fan..... im gonna be hurting for some time..... i just wanna see how this offseason goes....

[rocket]

sorry my bear fan friends.

He wasn't to me. I walked up to him randomly during the Final Four a couple years ago, and he was one of the nicest people I have ever met. He talked to me for 10-15 minutes in a hallway, and never seemed upset or irritated at all that I was using up his time-a real down to earth type of guy.

[BeerHere]

Meh

 

I'm pissed off, drunk and being a jerk so I'm outta here.

 

2 weeks till spring training. Then I get to hear the bs, condescending "Oh this is their year!" crap from the in-laws for the next 8 months.

 

Life sucks.

Chico and Turner can walk for all I care.

Dude's an [expletive] whiner. After every play. Wah wah wah.

 

Great football player. Huge whiner.

 

It was pretty funny when they showed some of his home movies with Eli playing football. He was whining back then too. lmao.

If Rivera leaves, I hope Singletary comes back as a D-Coordinator/Assistant Coach.

help me and tell me why.... :shock:

[TruffleShuffle]

Exactly. Obviously the Bears' defensive leader is Urlacher and they can't let him go anywhere. You've got guys like Tommie Harris and Nathan Vasher, both of whom are good young players who you don't want to get away. If they both get paid, then you're probably talking close to $30M/year on just four defensive players. If I were the Bears, I'd start by releasing Mike Brown and drafting a safety pretty early.
