That was a pretty cool Willis/Singletary commercial

It was cool but thought they should have mixed in some plays from Singletary.

Figured Dew as well as others would find these two "Goal Posts" points from 49ers.com interesting.

 

-As a Hall of Fame linebacker, Singletary has played against some of the best running backs in Pro Football history. After seeing Tennessee’s Chris Johnson up close and in person, the 49ers head coach was thoroughly impressed. “What you saw there was real speed. I don’t think there’s ever been a running back as fast as him.”

 

-Singletary added that his defense did a “pretty decent job” overall against Johnson, but struggled to contain the perimeter at times as well as get off blocks. “When you see the guy turn the corner and Patrick Willis is running after him – you don’t see that too often. Pat is going to catch the guy, and he did a few times, which is a credit to him. But the guy [Johnson] made some good plays. They locked on to us and we didn’t do a great job of getting off blocks yesterday.”

Baaaaad INT for Kyle, Pitt capitalizes.

[Careless]

I cannot fathom how the Bears beat them

Thanks. Good to hear stuff like that about CJ from a guy like Singletary.

Want a reason why Jevan Snead isn't as good this year....there's a BIG, BIG reason right there. Mike Wallace.

Wow, perfect jump

[Careless]

That's going to hurt his brain

Looks like Kyle Orton's pixie dust has ran out.

No Polamalu.

 

He's one of the best players in the league.

[Careless]

Sorry, no. No single player could make that sort of difference, and the difference in the Bears game certainly wasn't in the secondary.

I'd agree with you but look at how much better they are when he's healthy. It can't fully be a coincidence, can it?

Without Polamalu they went 2-2. Their 2 losses were both on the road and by 3 points each.

 

I don't think it's as huge a difference as you think.

They haven't lost since Mendenhall had his 165 yard game and became their starting RB. To me this has more to do with their success than Polamalu does. If the Steelers played the Bears again I'm sure it would be at least a 20-point Steelers victory. A safety cannot have that much effect on a game, even if he is one of the best, if not the best in the league.

Good article for the Packers and Bears fans on here: http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Lovie-McCarthy-are-at-a-crossroads.html

That's a pretty good article from a former player with some insight into what might be happening with the Bears & Packers.

 

Thanks for posting it.

Good article. I don't know about the other Bears fans, or Packers fans, but right now the Bears season feels like the Cubs season in September.

I just read that and was going to post it here. Obviously I'm not a Bear or Packer fan, but it was still quite interesting.
