while it definitely is the boner prize of boner prizes, Buck and Aikman have called about the best game I have ever heard them call today.

 

Yea Ive had no problems with them today. havent really noticed them which to me means they have done a good job.

 

really an amazing turn around considering they were the one's that lead the 'Grossman controversy' charge last year. today, Aikman even admits that even with his less than stellar stats, Rex had a pretty good day, all things considered. they very easily could have hung this on Rex.

I dont think Soul would have said anything had he just said the unbolded, but the bolded part to me sounds like rubbing it in our faces.

 

I can see, when taken out of context, how that can be seen as rubbing it in your faces. But it's certainly not. Someone made a comment about how LDT shouldnt have posed because he had a crappy day. I stated that he was essentially the entire offense today. Plus it was a big TD and he is generally known as not being a showoff; I don't think it was fair for people to criticize him for posing at the end of that play.

 

 

One would think that I've earned enough credit here as a good poster not to have to walk on eggshells here to avoid being called a troll.

 

Gates was essentially the offense except for one trick pass from LDT and a few small catches. I know LDT is your guy, but no need to give him more credit than he deserves.

 

Yea and LT called out the Pats for posing after a playoff game TD, kinda hypocritical eh?

I apologize for the threat, but yeah that's what was annoying to me.

 

Let's all be friends. We have about 20 days of Cub pain to get through together :x

Fair enough. Gates was on fire. But LDT had a hand in both of the scores; hence my statement.

 

He was a non-factor outside of those two plays...not what I expect out of the reigning-MVP and the best offensive player in the NFL.

well, i only saw the second half, but i dont think the chargers are all that better than the bears. i think if they played this game again, the bears could win. oh well. not unexpected. lets take it out on kansas city next weekend.

SD the better team today, fewer mistakes and a very stout defense, especially against the run.

 

What irks me the most are the injuries. I hope they aren't serious but I would be suprised if MB doesn't miss significant time, becaue he *ALWAYS* misses significant time.

wrong, he called them out for imitating the Merriman dance and celebrating at midfield on the chargers logo. Unless the Tomlinson was imitating a Bear or stomping on their grounds, it's not hypocritical. He never said he had a problem with celebrating a touchdown.

Danielle better be ready to take the step up that I think he is. AA is as billed so far - awful in coverage, great tackler.

 

Dusty better be ok because he looks great in there. I liked having two Sooners in the middle.

LT is better than Benson/Peterson. that was the difference

They mocked that clown sack dance of Merriman rather than posing.

 

Something I never really got about that. Merriman is also not being "classy" in the first place on LT terms then.

Noway anybody could say the Chargers are that much better than the Bears. When 2 teams are close, it usually comes down to turnovers, and coaching. Well the Bears had the most turnovers, and their offenseive coaching sucked.

At holding on to the ball...that's really the difference.

Hell Merriman wouldnt even shake hands before the coin toss when the captains took the field

Merriman is a jackass, he's just a jackass that's a teammate.

He's defending his teammate. Merriman is definitely not classy, but he's a teammate.

considering he's consistently been one of the best RBs in football during the last 5 years, and is on his way to Canton, I think he's allowed to have one down game against a very stout defense.
