  1. I'm so ready for this one! Enjoy the game guys!
  2. Yeah, about those tickets..... I'm at work. :evil: Ouch. Did you already buy them? No. I have a 6th sense for this crap by now.

  4. Would have to be more than 5. Depends on how long I've been at the bar.
  5. This is how Ginn Jr. got injured in the National Championship game: http://www.dispatch.com/2007/01/10/injury-300.jpg
  6. This will be my 7th Bears game this year. 6 @ home and the Giants game. My Record is 6-0 and the Bears have won the games I've attended by a combined score of 224-81 and an average score of 37-14. I think we got this one in the bag. 8-)
  7. or drink enough before the game so you can't feel the cold I'm going to try both, just to be sure.
  8. OMG I got 2. YES YES YES YES YES! Jon, I too want to have your babies.
  9. That's funny considering LT has played 5 of his 97 career games in a dome. And I don't even understand the hash marks comment. Gale Sayers= Joe Morgan. Honestly, Gale Sayers is a horrible commentator. I am going to be trying to ticketmaster thing all day. So far, all I have found is the $350ish tickets. A little too rich for my blood, unfortunantly.
  10. If I were him, I'd go. He certainly has the talent to play in the NFL right now, and if he stays to prove he can stay healthy, he'd likely be a top 5 pick. If he goes to the NFL now, he'll be a top 15 pick. Meanwhile, if he were to suffer another season-ending injury (another broken collarbone, a la Charles Rogers) he'd certainly fall out of the first round. I say, take the millions while you can. The life span of a RB is especially short, and if you're gonna take a pounding carrying the ball 200 or 300 times, get paid for it if you can. Great posting. Why give up a prime earning year?
  11. I think Sidney Rice will be better than Samardzija too. I don't think there is any "will be" to it. I think he's already better. I think the receivers are ordered this way in terms of talent... 1. Johnson 2. Jarrett 3. (tie) Rice 3. (tie) Meachem 5. Samardzija 6. Ginn (the spaces are intentional) I think this is a pretty good list. I'd rather have Ginn than Samardzija, though.
  12. Hardly http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/features/writers/expert/picks What is encouraging is that accuscore.com ran the simualation of this game 10,000 times and the Bears won an outstounding 78% of the time. That's talking about the spread. I'm talking about everybody picking the winner, and they all seem to be picking the Bears. Why does this concern you? I doubt the Bears are getting full of themselves over it considering the tremendous amount of criticism they have endured lately. Urlacher today was talking about how they were the "Worst 13-3 team ever."
  13. Not really. Edit: Not really a bad article, but it's nothing you don't know already by being a fan of the team.
  14. Some guys take longer to develop than others. Being that Danieal is swiching positions and coming from a smaller school, I think he's probably one of those guys. Goony doesn't think so and no one really knows. I guess we'll see.
  15. I don't care if it was a small school, he was their first pick and he's been bad. I think Tillman and Harris played better in their first years coming out of small schools. Harris was worse last year and Tillman was the exception and not the rule. I don't think it's an exception for draft picks taken around that area to be decent in their rookie years. Mike Brown was. And I think Manning has made far more mistakes than Harris, although it's purely subjective. Regardless, Harris isn't even thought that very highly of now. And there's nothing about Manning's game to suggest he's capable of being a very good starting safety next season. Mike Brown is the only one of the radar who can. Harris is obviously thought as very inferior by the staff as: He started at FS last year and FS was the Bears first selection in the draft, he was benched as soon as possible, and he's buried on the depth chart behind Todd Johnson. Harris is a crappy FS and Manning is better than Harris has ever been, imo. I think Manning's speed gives him the ability to take a step forward in his game next year. I think that dissmissing him, as you are here, is very premature.
  16. I don't care if it was a small school, he was their first pick and he's been bad. I think Tillman and Harris played better in their first years coming out of small schools. Harris was worse last year and Tillman was the exception and not the rule.
  17. While Manning's play hasn't beet great, I think it's about what people should have expected from a rookie hailing from a small school. I haven't been totally dissapointed and I don't think he's a lost cause.
  18. You can have some pretty severe muscle pulls.
  19. Why? Aside from his salary, sooner or later his annual season-ending leg injury is going to take it's toll on his on the field performance. This year's foot injury was bad luck. Breaking your achilles one year, pulling your calf the next, and tearing a foot ligimant getting rolled up in a pile, are not realted in any way. He's not any more likely to get hurt next year because he was hurt in previous years. In any event, I agree with your conern that his injuries will start taking a toll on his on the field play. Still, I'd rather have him back next year assuming he's healthy as we're unlikely to find anyone better than him in FA or the draft. I'm saying they are related, I'm saying that they keep happening, and sooner or later he's going to lose a step. Say what you want, but medically speaking, they aren't related. Did you see how he got injured this year? How can that possibly be linked to a calf pull? I mistyped and edited my post. I don't think they are related. I gotcha, and I very much agree. It will be interesting to see how he'll play when he comes back this year.
  20. I think Rex has more to do with the underestimation of the Bears than anything though. ESPN's poll says the Bears are the most likely favorite to lose. It's interesting considering they are playing the worst underdog in the playoffs. I saw that too and had a hearty laugh. Funny how no one mentions that Rex is more likely to have a great game than a terrible game. The only options people will consider are a terrible game or a middle of the road game (which he has had very few of).

  23. My favorite FJM ever. I still can't beleive that article is real.
