My investment in player safety is the fact that I want the Bears to have the best chance they can at winning 3-4 playoff games.

 

How you can keep insisting that a field that wasn't designed to be played on in December and has no heating system whatsoever was fine in some of the worst weather conditions possible is kind of nuts.

You're being ridiculously biased right now.

 

maybe. but we won, we won big, and it wasn't like people were dropping dead all over because of the field.

 

Favre got slammed to the turf. his injury could have happened in just about any stadium in America.

 

that DB for Vikings got kneed int he head. The field had nothing to do his injury.

Like it or not, player safety is going to be a big concern for a long time, especially head-related injuries.

 

I'm sure the NFL will heed your concerns.

 

It's not just me: The player's union, the media, fans. Have you not been paying attention?

pretty satisfying game, really got nervous at the beginning there but the defense came to play for the first time in almost 3 weeks and locked it down. (i'll consider the lions game an 'eh')

 

will be interesting to see how people judge cutler's play on the radio tomorrow. he had pretty much the quintessential 'cutler' game, he threw some amazing laser throws, had awful footwork, and had one absolutely mindbogglingly bad throw, but overall had a very solid game. running game also looked strong...with forte. chester either can't buy a block when he's in, or doesn't really have the burst to bust open a long run when he does get some blocking. some up and down play by the pass blocking and the receivers, such is life.

 

congrats to devin hester. he is at his rightful place, as the king of all kick returners. he'll likely add to this record, and he's had quite a year for himself. well done dude, i'm happy for you.

 

happy for the defense to have a nice bounce back fun game. they got at em, hit em, got some turnovers, and played solid. wished they coulda bottled up gerhart better at the beginning but they locked it down and took care of business. there was an atrocious PI penalty that should have been offensive PI if anything, but what can you do, that gifted them some points, and the broken contain on the play.

 

its gonna be a nice relaxing few weeks, now that we don't have the world on our shoulders. we still have a lot to gain if we can lock up a bye, but at least i wont be biting through my nails in each and every game because its not life or death. i still get the feeling this is a bit of a 2001 type season, that our magic might be spent after this year if we dont do something special with it, so i'm gonna enjoy it while i can.

 

i predicted an 8-8 season and possible 10-6 wild card hopes if everything broke the right way, we've definitely outplayed that. good job guys.

knox still has some issues, he had a couple plays he probably doesn't strictly have to make but if he wants to at least imitate a number one receiver, he should.

 

a lot of cutler's problems aren't just oline related, but receiver related, and this is getting ignored by the punditry

it's a cross between 2001 and 2006, with the exception being we now have a franchise qb to pin our hopes on.

i was watching a rex grossman highlight tape (such a thing exists, i know right!) and the biggest thing that stood out for me was the protection he got at the beginning of 2006 was phenomenal. we got john tait at the zenith of his career, we squeezed one last good year out of fred miller, olin was still more than serviceable, garza was a battler, we had a pretty nitty gritty oline that could block well. in fact it was pretty easy to see grossman crumble to pieces as the oline sorta fall apart a bit as the year progressed. that and most of the highlight reel was grossman bombs to berrian.

 

what i would do to just have an oline of that quality again.

He's gonna blindly ignore all the damning evidence that's out there all so he doesn't have to admit he was completely wrong.

 

I think a family member must have designed that stadium or something so he takes it really personally.

Being a Packers fan is beyond White Sox-ish. Just sayin'.

 

no its not.

 

Oh, but it is. A Cubs/Packers fan is in danger of tearing the dimensional plane apart.

 

well now your just being silly.

 

Silly...or concerned for the fate of the universe?!?

 

Though really, it would be like someone rooting for the Eagles and the Mets. Madness.

I have a customer that lives in CT that is a Giants fan in football and a Red Sox fan in baseball.

 

Madness defined.

I know several Packers/Cubs fans.

 

Lots of them in the UP of Michigan, where the Packers are the NFL team (not the Lions), and the Cubs built up a fan base through WGN.

 

It's definitely madness. They're comfortable with being insane though :)

Time to give Lovie props? I've been as critical as anyone of Coach Smith, but he now has led the team to 3 NFC north titles in the last 6 years. Obviously, that is better than either Minnesota or Green Bay over the same span. Two of the 3 came when the Bears were nowhere near favorites to do so. And now the 3 non-playoff seasons in between don't look so bad with no seasons below 7-9.
