Game 11 - Minnesota Vikings @ BEARS - 12 PM

Marshall shoulda been flagged for that one. Didn't push off, but this ain't basketball. HOLY SHIFT WHAT WAD THAT!

Auto correct sucks

Yeah, the body language after it said it all; Marshall looked like he thought one of the flags was against him.

[Smack]

Lets get it back and score again.

Was that on purpose? That makes absolutely no sense. If you had a trick 2 point conversion play, wouldnt you use it in a place that made more sense? 14 points to 15 points doesnt make a huge difference.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing... only use it on a fake field goal for a TD or something. Except Lovie would probably never go for something like that.

Special Teamsssssss

[rawaction]

Do we only have 3 active receivers right now? What do we do for 4 or 5 sets? Fill em in with running backs?

 

This could be a problem

Um 15 point lead. We'll be alright

[ctcf]

Tillman is back in.

Turning this into a laugher would be nice

It's possible Podlesh could have done it on his own/audibled to it if the FG defense gave him a certain look.

ETA: There you go, overloaded defense so Podlesh took it in on the light side of the D.

Why not use it in a completely unexpected place? That's probably why it worked. Now 2 TDs and 1 pt conversions won't tie it up. Puts more pressure on 'em.

[BigSlick]

Ponder hasn't shown the ability to throw down the field at all so I'd lock down on these short yardage drags and check downs

[Sammy Sofa]

Conte in beast mode.

[Guest]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[Soul]

CHUH - CHINGG baby!!

[UMFan83]

Yay, I like when we don't face top 3 teams in the NFL

[ctcf]

YESSSSSSS

 

Time for another touchdown and send this on it's way to being a rout.

[BigSlick]

Christian Ponder is terrible

[SpongeWorthy]

woooooooooo

Right on cue...

You use it when it is open. They obviously were waiting for Minnesota to line up that way.

Scared him into that pick. Pass rush getting home!

Ponder is hot garbage.

[Guest]

Haha, on the replay of the pick, you can clearly see #75 holding Peppers.

[UMFan83]

If we can blow them out it will really help Bears fans regain some confidence for the rest of the year. The talk this week was 'will the Bears collapse and be in danger of missing the playoffs?"

 

If the game continues like this, most people will at least regain confidence that we can beat average to bad teams, putting games like next week vs. Seattle and at Arizona back on the table. We win those 2 games, and we're probably in (assuming we finish this one)
