  1. If you are not a die hard Bears fan, you would think Tommie had a solid season. 5 sacks for a DT is pretty good. Yet we all know better. Who is the first alternate for TE and C, my only legit beef with what is presented above.
  2. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/playoffscenario its fun
  3. 1995 was the first year I was actually old enough to follow the team like I do now. Stupid Bobby Hebert comming in for the rescue for the Falcons. That team was so much fun to watch.
  4. So let me recap my night: I was excited to watch the game online only to have my internet crap out in the first quarter. I get it starting up again, found out Forte lost a toe, and I realize that nfl.com only shows like one series and its 5 minutes later. So I drive to a rat hole bar in Brown Deer, WI and sit with 20 drunk guy wearing hunters jackets even though deer hunting season ended two weeks ago. they smoke like a chimney and I have two different arguments with these guys who say farve would take Packers to the playoffs this year because of his leadership and moxie. arrrrgh...... anyway, Orton was god awful, the defense played really good, and I sadly agree with Collinsworth that Hester was the difference in those last two drives. Go Bears and Cardinals!!!!!!!
  5. I got Joniak rocking now.. I am so mad!!! NFL.com feed is garbage.
  6. Are you near Chicago? If so it will be on Local TV... Nope Im in Galesburg(near Peoria) and I bowl on Thursday nights at a bowling alley that doesnt get NFL network. Guess Ill be following on my phone gahh Watch it online!!!! nfl.com has a simulcast, and its a good feed too. Especially if its anything like NBC's simulcast. Uhhh did you miss the part of me bowling on Thursday nights lol. I dont think the bowling alley wants me to carry my pc in there while I bowl :D My bad Keensy

  8. Relax. The Cubs have the leverage here and it looks like they're using it as they should. Jesus. Thank you! I was beginning to think I was the only one who thought Hendry is actually playing it smart. These are the kind of deals that lets Hendry keep his job, squeezing needy teams for their established players. I trust Hendry is doing the right thing here by holding his ground.
  9. Honestly. If get Peavy that is great, amazing actually, but he wont have nearly as much of an impact on the success of this team as who they choose to be the next RF. I am not going to cry into my pillow if it doesn't happen.
  10. Can someone name me some defensive players that should be invited if the Heisman truly was an award for best college player?
  11. The NFLPA filed an injunction in federal court in Minnesota, and the Judge granted a temporary injunction until he can rule on the suit. It precludes the NFL from carrying out the suspensions. So they are in.
  12. They should award it to him to make up for last year. Give one to Peyton while you're at it, too. :D And Rex. Seriously though, can I just pick none of the above for this years crop of "Best Players"
  13. I'll add a Saints fans stamp of approval onto this post. Saints are pretty much fried toast in games in those elements. Only consolation is that Reggie looks to be back from the DL playing very well and Pierre Thomas has never played as good as he has recently. Bears win. The Saints are going to stomp the Bears. Cold weather, unless accompanied by snow or rain, doesn't mean a thing. It is much harder to run a vertical passing game in the cold. Need to wear gloves or lose feeling in your hands, the football is hard, tougher to stay loose for the receivers. Not saying it is impossible, just that it would be crazy to think the Saints wouldn't much rather be playing in their dome than outdoors in Chicago. Fine but its irrational to think that the Bears passing defensive ranking jumps 20 spots if the temp at game time is 20 degrees or cooler. No more irrational than dismissing the Saints being 1-5 on the road. The outdoor cold night clearly plays in the Bears advantage in a game againt the dome-homed Saints. Yes, actually, its much more irrational. The Saints 6 road games were played against teams not named the Chicago Bears, who now currently have the 28th ranked passing defense. The cold might be an advantage, but not like the advantage of having the number one ranked passing offense versus the 28th ranked passing defense.

  16. Who sees him suddenly turning his career around on another team next year? :wave:
  17. Well fellas. It was horrifying. See you all next week for another exciting rendition of bad team-mediocre team.
  18. St. Clair finally plays to his abilities
  19. lots of blame in this one. poor blocking, dropped passes, bad throws, bad tackling, breakdowns in coverage. they even beat us in special teams. i think Forte is the only player that had a good game overall. Totally agree. But if you want to blame one guy.. 3 ints=14 points and counting.
  20. You want to blame one guy... blame Orton. What a garbage pass.
  21. you mean running the ball three times from the one yard line, and expecting to get it in... what was Turner thinking? Well I don't know. There's running the ball and theres handing it to the FB for his first NFL carry on a play that has worked 0 out of the 10 times we've used it this year. There's a HB draw on 3rd and 2, and theres a HB draw on 4th and 1 inch. it wasnt a draw, don't be ridiculous. if you cant gain one yard on 3 tries then you should probably forfeit, which would have been a good idea in hind sight. They lost because they all played like crap especially Orton. that is true but that goal line stand completely changed the game. they would have been up by 11 and at the very worst they'd still be in the game right now. going for it is a completely different story. but they ran the ball twice with the NFL's fifth leading rusher, blaming the play calling on that series on losing the game is absolute idiocy.
