    That's Bill Barnwell. He is technically right that the Bears were fortunate to recover all 5 of the fumbles in the game and as a result force the Falcons offense to become one-dimensional. You mean like the way the Falcons were fortunate that Cutler's batted ball went directly into the hands of the Falcons defense, creating their one and only touchdown of the day? The defense created the fumbles in the first place. It's not surprising that the group who creates the fumble ends up recovering said fumble. I'll bet the recovery rate isn't a blanket 50/50 chance. The Bears defense played outstanding and set the stage for a victory. Excuses for why they won aren't necessary. Forcing fumbles isn't random, recovering them is. The chance for recovering each individual fumble isn't 50/50, but the chance of recovering any one fumble is pretty close to that. And the Bears aren't particularly adept at recovering fumbles (actually, they were way below 50% recovery last year).

    If the front four gets as much pressure as they did yesterday, the pass defense should be awesome. If anything, the run D was a little concerning yesterday, but fortunately Atlanta had to basically abandon the run by the middle of the 3rd quarter.

    The biggest thing that gives me cause for concern from yesterday's game is that basically every fumble bounce went the Bears way, recovering all 5 fumbles in the game. If the turnover margin was a little more even, the game was likely a lot more even (although the D did shore up a lot after the first quarter).

    So...that escalated in a hurry.

    It's a United Center thing, mostly. The fans do that at all the Blackhawks games.

    I've never actually seen Bryan LaHair, so I'm just assuming it's a Pujols stage name and he's seeing how things will work out next year.

    Weirdest stat of the day: With his stellar passing day, Kerry Collins passed Johnny Unitas and Joe Montana for 10th on the career passing yards list.

    So, this week there were only two divisions without any intra-divisional games. The NFC North may go 4-0, and the NFC South may go 0-4 (though Carolina leads at Arizona).

    I can't believe Illinois didn't even get any votes after that historic (for them) shellacking. (not really)

    Well, it wasn't 31-10, but hey, good enough.

    The O-line has been about as bad as the D-line has been good.
  13. bukie
    That counts as a turnover.

    At this point, going with nobody there may be an improvement. At least then Jay knows the DE will be in his face right away and it won't be a holding penalty.

    Bears D, today's leading fantasy scorer.
  16. bukie
    The D has given up all of 2 FGs so far. They've outscored Atlanta's offense on their own.

    The biggest thing that concerns me about Roy Williams is his penchant for drops. Nothing else really matters much in the grand scheme.

    I don't want to say I called it, but...

    The Vikings haven't started in San Diego yet...

    I went with Jordy Nelson, and regret nothing.

    So, I guess the NFC North is playing the NFC South today?
  22. bukie
    Yeah, Cutler's job was to throw it so that there was no way anybody was picking it off. Kellen Davis just kind of stood and watched it.

    May want to cover the guy in the blue shirt in the middle of the field, Notre Dame.

    May want to cover that guy in the white shirt in the middle of the field there, Michigan.

    Floyd was in the end zone if the DB doesn't grab his jersey there.
