Week 10: Bears @ 49ers (Thurs, 7:20 PM NFLN, WPWR)

[Soul]

I hate my freaking football life. Where did it all go wrong?

[rawaction]

I thought Briggs was OK in the Cincy game. He made the only plays the Bears did make on defense. He was bad on Sunday making almost all his plays well away from the line of scrimmage. But I think that was his only "bad" game. Problem is, he hasn't really had any "great" games since early on.

 

But he is far from the problem. I think Roach has disappeared. The DL might as well not even be there. And Bowman and Tillman have had bad games here and there (Peanut 1, Bowman all but 1).

That is essentially my complaint about Lance. He wanted to be the guy, he's being paid to be an impact guy, and although he hasn't been horrible, he hasn't made a positive impact either.

That's OK. Next time a big payday comes along, the Bears just need to rightfully point out that he didn't lift the team in '09 when they really needed him to. Same goes for any of these other guys who might be sticking around.

The Bears-Vikings game Nov. 29 has been moved to a later time slot.

 

The NFL said Wednesday the game in Minnesota will now start at 4:15 p.m. EST instead of 1 p.m

see the 9-1 Vikings throttle the 4-6 Bears....yay?

 

Dammit, we're not even good and we're only gonna have like 4 12 PM starts.

LOL @ your signature. Why does the defense even bother showing up?

Buh? So a greater percentage of the nation can get an early start on their Sunday chores?

It's not as strong of competition as usual for that particular slot that week because of the three Thanksgiving games in addition to the Sunday night/Monday night games.

 

It's Fox's doubleheader week, and their choices to move to 4:15 were this:

 

Bears/Vikings

Panthers/Jets

TB/Atlanta

Seattle/St. Louis

Arizona/Tennessee

Washington at Philadelphia

 

Arizona/Tennessee is probably the only choice that gave them pause but Bears/Vikings almost certainly gives them better ratings.

For a couple minutes, 'til it's over.

What game will the NFL network switch to when this game becomes a blowout late in the first quarter?

Archival footage of Bears/Zona in '06 probably. You know, the last time the Bears were actually good.

I have no problem starting Frank Gore tonight. I'm expecting at least 4 TDs between him and Vernon Davis.

[E.J.]

Is it wrong that I'd rather watch BJ Daniels and South Florida play tonight instead of the shitty Bears?

[Roast]

Frank Gore is on my fantasy team. I have a feeling he will singlehandedly outscore the entire opposing team this week.

[SpongeWorthy]

Wale and Davis jawing at each other during warm ups. Afalava out for the Bears, Bruce out for the Niners.

Funny because Wale is the only one that Davis complimented. Good for Wale for standing up for his team, though.

 

That said, Davis is right.

I'm looking at Kevin Seifert's breakdown of the Bears defensive decline: http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth/post/_/id/5893/tracing-the-bears-defensive-decline

 

What's the deal with Gilbert, Melton, and Moore? Are they ever gonna see the field? The list of defensive players we've drafted since 2005 is pretty shocking(ly bad).

[RedFlash]

I much rather the UFL game right then the Bears. (Mainly because I can get Versus, and not the NFL Network.)

[Roast]

So how many people are actually watching the game, here?

I bet you won't score as much as him this week.

[OleMissCub]

OMFG!!!!! [expletive] CABLE! I just realized I don't have NFL NETWORK anymore! NO!! What a crock of [expletive].

[OleMissCub]

nevermind, I just found it. whew

Phew, I used the 49ers Defense as a bye week D last week and I almost forgot to drop them. It was 7:19 as I was frantically trying to open the page screaming at Comcast to have faster internet.

 

Thankfully, I dropped it in time. Now watch the 49ers score a couple of defensive TDs
