    Atlanta's won 7 in a row and their only 2 losses this season have come to division leaders on the road. No Dolphin or Redskin losses in there.

    At home, by 3. Basically a toss-up game, and Green Bay looked better than Atlanta last week. Well I would hope so...GB played a 4-8 team, while Atlanta had to contend with a team that is trying to get a wild card spot in the playoffs. I don't think that's comparing apples to apples. It's never comparing apples to apples. That is why it's a subjective process. I think Green Bay is better on a neutral field. EDIT: As far as real justification: the Packers have just 3 wins by 7 or fewer points, and have not lost a game by more than 3. The Falcons have just 3 wins by more than 7 points (and 2 against the NFC West...that hardly counts), and lost to Philly by 14. All four of our losses have come on the opponent's final play of the game. So you guys know how to pull defeats from the jaws of victory, eh? :) Seriously though, losing close still counts as a loss. I don't think you get bonus points for losing close. "Finishing" a game is an important part of being a good team, imo. Most games in the NFL are close. (Last nights example notwithstanding.) I'm not saying GB is a bad team by any stretch of the imagination...in fact I think that last game of the year is gonna be a doozy for the division title...but personally, right now, I'd put the Falcons above the Pack.

    So you put GB above the Falcons? The Falcons just beat them a week and a half ago.

    Hyping a CBS game by boosting the Bears maybe?

    Same. I was like "7 years for Derrek? Wha???"

    Albert Haynesworth suspended without pay for the final 4 games for conduct detrimental to the team.

    I'm just rooting for a snow game cuz I think they're fun to watch.

    Considering the Pats destroyed the Titans 59-0 last year in the midst of a blizzard, I'm going to go with them. Oh and they also won the tuck rule game in heavy snow, but that was awhile ago. When's the last time the Bears played in a snowstorm? It was snowing toward the end of the NFCCG against New Orleans, but that was hardly a storm. since we aren't really a cold weather team, i hope not. i remember the steelers pushing us around like we were on sleds in 2005, though. That's not really all that meaningful for this year's team. Yeah...that was mostly Bettis doing the pushing...the Pats don't have anybody like that.

    As much as I'll hate hearing it, I hope the media overhypes the crap out of the Pats all week long. Get them wayyyy overconfident going into this game.

    Word filter fixed, you little shits.

    Tinoisamoa had his knee scoped. His status for Sunday is uncertain. Roach's hip injury was supposedly minor, and he should be good for Sunday.

    Not on a national stage, I don't think. I thought of the same thing when I heard Collinsworth and Michaels calling hiim "Ben" time and time again last night. For some reason I can picture Gruden and Jaws saying "Jay" constantly. Actually, Gruden would be saying, "This guy, Jay Cutler". I'm thinking bhat Deion and Michael Irvin both call him "Jay". Marshall Faulk might too.

    He ran in the first three games until he got a concussion. Hmmm...true enough. It must just be the high number of sacks that makes it seems like he was more stationary.
  16. Banedon
    I think .6 ypc is fairly significant in terms of the success of those runs. From last year to this one...fine. But in terms of his career best, it's .2ypc. And there's still 4 games left, against some strong football teams. My point is only that it's not like Cutler morphed from a stand still QB into a mobile one. If anything, the first half of this year, where he was more stationary, was the outlier.
  17. Banedon
    I hear Cutler referred to as "Jay" a lot as well.
  18. Banedon
    Cutler's best yards per carry average was in 2007, his first full year of starting, and he had 44 carries for 205 yards, for a 4.7 average. He had 40 for 173 last year in his first year with the Bears for a 4.3 average. He has 41 for 200 so far this year, for a 4.9 average...so he's having his best average per carry this year, but it's not by leaps and bounds or anything.

    That isn't the first time that Lovie has supposedly blown up at the defense. Maybe so. I just meant that I just have a hard time visualizing it. I don't know what "angry, yelling Lovie" looks like. I've seen him snippy with the media, but not much more than that.
  20. Banedon
    The Peppers sack did indeed come when he chased Peppers out of bounds. If the QB runs OOB for a loss as a result of pressure, it counts as a sack. Peppers had a pretty weak first half though. I know he got blown up on the Stanton TD run. And Urlacher played pretty strong in the 2nd half...he ended up with 17 tackles for the game. I just think the D overall came in too confident in the first half. Apparently Lovie actually yelled at the D at the half...which I have a hard time picturing. But apparently it worked.

    If you're referring to Boise State, they at least had gone undefeated and earned an at large BCS bowl bid to play OU. They had made some noise before winning that game, though there's no question, that was a big game for the program.

    ouch. that sucks for Temple, but finishing with losses to Ohio and Miami (OH) to go 5-3 in the MAC isn't the way to endear yourself to bowls. And UCONN beat WVU, Pitt, Syracuse and South Florida at the end of the year. Sucks when a team you beat goes to a bowl and you don't, but it seems pretty clear that UCONN had the better season. You mean MAC Champions Miami (OH)? You mean NFC West Champion St. Louis Rams?? Wait which team is the Rams? Miami (OH) or UConn?

    Seems like the new way for the experts to dismiss the Bears is by saying that they have a good team, but the schedule is just too hard down the stretch. Winning this game should go a long ways toward tamping that argument down.
