It would be awesome to see a long completion to Hester or Knox on the first play of the game. Of course, the DLine will probably be salivating enough to create puddles on the field before that first snap. Probably not the best of ideas. But, I'd love it if it happened. I like Hanie as the back up and hope he is given an opportunity to throw the ball today by his OLine.

I'm way more nervous than I would normally be for any game with Cutler at the helm. It's going to be one of those "hold your breath on every pass" type of deals. It's been nice not having to feel like that the past couple seasons.

Having the Lions tank on Thursday eases my worries a ton. That being said, I really want to keep winning.

Agreed, and if the Vikings can SOMEHOW beat Atlanta that would take even more pressure off, but without AP that won't happen.

 

I just have to keep telling myself that next to the GB game, this will be the hardest game remaining. It's not nearly the end of the world if we lose, but you can bet the media will treat it like that.

Front page picture on ESPN.com: Brady, Tebow, Rivers....and Hanie

[bukie]

So you're saying Hanie might just be the second best QB on ESPN's front page?

[Theo]

Interesting that Jay has flown himself, is there a rule with inactive players traveling with the Team?

[rawaction]

Jacoby Ford and Denarius Moore are out for the Raiders. Heyward-Bey is active, out of necessity. For the Bears, no DJ Moore. And McCown also inactive, meaning Enderle's the #2. Let's hope he doesn't see the field.

This is going to be a very interesting game.

[UMFan83]

Hanie's first possession....3 and out.

[mul21]

[UMFan83]

Wide open

[Magnetic Curses]

palmer's going to pick us apart, isn't he?

[UMFan83]

Wide open again...into FG range for the Raiders already

[kujay]

Nice coverage.

[UMFan83]

Wow should have been a TD. Thanks for showing up today Bears secondary. geez

[UMFan83]

Thanks girly arm Palmer. 3-0 Raiders.

[Soul]

OK, settle down now. Let's get a couple first downs.

[UMFan83]

Didn't like the Bears playcalls the first 3 and out possession. A run up the middle is the most predicable thing ever when you are starting an unproven backup QB for the first time.

[Magnetic Curses]

hanie is just going to need to hit his first intermediate pass and then he'll be fine. hopefully he hits one.

No, but maybe throwing out the predictable series right away can open up some better strategy the next drive.

 

I'm reaching, but whatever. It's all I've got left

Man they rush 8 and Hanie isnt allowed to check out of the run up the middle. 4 yard loss

[Derwood]

I hate the fact the "Goose" can just pipe in whenever he feels like it. Imagine if one of the female sideline reporters did that

[Magnetic Curses]

another 3 and out.

[UMFan83]

Another 3 and out. Hanie has to step up in the pocket and use his legs there.
