    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). I need more than a flat percentage before I buy into all that. What's the forced fumble recovery rate? Unforced? What's the rate on a muffed punt/kickoff? I just not buying that all fumbles are created equal. Also, the percentage can be made up for in sheer opportunities. The Bears had the 2nd most number of "Opponent fumbles" last year. http://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-fumbles-per-game

    I wonder if Kreutz gives the Saints an advantage this week, as far as scouting reports and inside info go?

None of the fumbles the Bears made were ones where the other team really had a chance to get them though. It wasn't like it was a scramble where the Bears were lucky to come up with it. I love how the sportsbook is part of his argument. Cuz they're always right, eh?

    That's a pretty crazy opening line. That's a lotta points.

    He's pretty cool. I like that the cheering during the anthem has caught on when he sings for other Chicago sports teams besides the Blackhawks. The fact that people from other cities don't like it and think its disrespectful only makes me like it more. I'm not sure how cheering with excitement while your national anthem is sung could be considered disrespectful but whatever. Cheering for the national anthem is great, as long as its not being sung for a solemn event. Like cheering for it yesterday at ground zero or at the pentagon, would be weird. At a sporting event, even marking the 10 year anniversary of 9/11- totally cool. My problem was with the USA! chant afterwards. Unless its at an Olympic sporting event, its lame and tacky. Some of the USA chanting was in response to things going on on the field during commercials from what I gathered. There was a lot of military people there being highlighted.

    dehydrated, i think. I was working/watching so i might be wrong. We have absolutely no depth at wr (SHOULD HAVE KEPT SAM HURD NOT REALLY) so they just threw his dead body out there Dallas clearly missed Roy Williams!

    Should've gone with Cutler over Shaub...

    Haha...Tony Romo sacked himself on 2nd down. He dove at the feet of his own lineman....wtf.

    well cutler tried to throw it to his man but another man got the ball and ran the whole way down the other direction Reporter: "Can you tell us about the interception?" Urlacher: "Oh man, it was crazy.....He threw it, and I caught it."

    What's the prognosis for Nate Kaeding? Anybody hear anything?
  13. Banedon
    He did for a good part of the 2nd half. Meriweather was out there quite a bit, actually.

    Looked like a TD to me. Didn't step out until a yard deep in the endzone.

    I think they look better than last year. This is only Carimi's first game in the NFL. It'll improve.
  17. Banedon
    Yeah...he's a beast. He might make that Olsen trade look like a good plan.
  18. Banedon
    Great start for the Bears in this game.
  19. Banedon
    That was so [expletive] cool.

    What channel is NFL Redzone on Directv?
  21. Banedon
    Somewhere Jerry Angelo is choking on his lunch.
  22. Banedon
    Corey Wooten and Sam Hurd are questionable for Sunday. Briggs, Steltz, Conte, Bell, K. Davis, Mannelly, A Adams are all probable. And Lovie announced officially that Barber is out.
  23. Banedon
    Marques Colston has a broken collarbone. Out for 4 weeks.

    Bears might bring back Tinoisamoa if his knee gets better. Might be a couple weeks. http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post/_/id/4671808/tinoisamoa-back-to-the-bears
