    Strange pick, as long as Jeter doesn't win it, I'm somewhat happy. Mauer and Santana deserved it more and they are on HIS team too.

    This is a respect game. I sorta expect us to drop this, but whatev. If we can beat them and complete an East Coast sweep, it would be beautiful. Probably wouldn't propel them into a number 1 ranking in BS power polls, but it would mean a lot to me. I look forward to this game.

    agreed by nearly anyone who watched the game objectively.

    Agreed, as well as the team that always calls Bears- Packers games...they are just outright Packer fans. It annoys the piss out of me. I wish Ron Turner would just get his head out of his ass. He clearly has the stuff of a good Offensive Coordinator, but fails to show up every week. He's done a good job turning a 32nd offense into something that isn't complete crap, and he did what he had to do with Kyle Orton last year. I really would like to see him play to Grossman's strengths, and get less streaky with the runs and passes. Mix them up. There are 2 different ways to get to a 50-50 run/pass ratio. One is to run run run run run, pass pass pass pass pass pass. The other way is to use them both effectively.

    And Gage will be cut.

    Berrian flat out dropped the biggest opportunity he had all day :-\ Ridiculous holding call also negated a big pass play, i dont remember if that was Berrian or Moose though.

    I really don't think Ron Turner fits the gameplan to Grossman's strengths. At the beginning Ron was calling a lot of quick rhythm pass plays, west coast-y stuff that Grossman has never been good at. Grossman is best when he can sit in the pocket and sling those intermediate-long 15-30 yard passes. Once he gets in that rhythm he's unstoppable. He's not great with those 8 yard ins and outs and curls, etc. Just not his game. Oh well. A win is a win, but I don't see Turner's playcalling improving, other than running the ball more, which is great.

    I never thought I would have somone tell me a 40/40 guy is not very good. Priceless. He's alright, but as a guy who's a supposed "lead off" guy, he doesn't have a great OBP. If he gives us 40/40 this year and out then for sure he's worth it. Its a mite big, but its better than not having anyone. Hopefully he's not a disaster in Center Field. He turned out to be an above average defender in left field, IIRC. We'll have a lineup consisting of Lee, Ramirez, Barrett, Soriano, decent Right Fielder....etc. It'll be a decent offense. Now lets lock up some pitching.

    I predict the Bears win by more than 2 scores. Lets not have a repeat of the Miami game, boys. Thanks. Why isn't this a noon game? Lame.

    I now hope Notre Dame makes the NC so Ohio State just beats the merciless crap out of them.

Illinois did not get blown out by Ohio State....and Ohio State is going to the National Championship game. Oh, and the Bears are doing well. Sweet.

    I think Leftwich got a raw deal in Jacksonville, and I think if he does end up not playing another game in a Jaguars uniform, he'll have the opportunity to start elsewhere. He's no Joey Harrington, come on. You know, some people I was watching the Giants game with started complaining about Grossman...all I could think about was how much more confident I feel with Grossman at the helm than a Kyle Orton, Chad Hutchinson, Jonathon Quinn, etc. Some [expletive] media type person said something like: "Kyle Orton did what he was supposed to do, not lose games. Grossman can lose you games" God, I wish there was some emoticon to express my reaction to that.
  13. BigSlick
    Well, Bears fans on this board are still spending a lot more time talking about the Giants game than this one. The media is focused more on the theory that they locked up the #1 seed, and that the Patriots game is on the horizon. And the Jets have been an afterthought all season. Yes, they are 5-4. Yes, it's inexcusable to not take them seriously. But such things happen all the time. The Bears seem as proud of themselves for beating the Giants as they were for coming back against Arizona. The only thing that could make this more of a candidate for a letdown game was if the Jets had a worse record. But I'm still not convinced football people think of the Jets as a 5-4 team. People should be banging themselves in the head for NOT seeing this as a 5-4 team in the preseason. They have a healthy Chad Pennington, who is not a half bad QB. (Kinda like our relationship with Grossman, eh?) They have a quality defense. The Bills and the Dolphins are pretty bad, they can rack up some victories right there.

    You do realize that in order for the Packers to win this division (keep in mind that both teams have played 7 games) not only do the Bears have to lose 5 games but the Packers have to win every single one of theirs. Yea. Thats how down you guys are.

    Broken nose, headed back to CHicago for a mask. Darn. How long will he have to wear that thing? I hope he doesnt turn into Rick Hamilton and wear it the rest of his life. Kinda suprised he broke his nose. There wasn't much blood so I thought he didn't. Regardless, he played great and has a promising future. One more time, THANK YOU ISAIAH! I'm pretty sure if you break a nose, it doesn't bleed. I think he's probably going to have to wear it for 2-4 weeks. Nothing big though. He should really only miss tomorrow's game because he's getting the mask fitted. Here's hoping he'll be ready to go for the home opener. Coming from someone who has broken his nose twice....uh no. When you break your nose, THERE IS A LOT OF BLOOD. Well, I guess it matters.
  16. BigSlick
    Fixed.

    Argh, I'm pissed off that Brandon "Sub-.300 OBP" Inge is leading the AL voting. Poor Kevin Youkilis. :oops:
  18. BigSlick
    I'd feel bad for them more considering all they had to do was win 84 games and this potential St. Louis World Series team wouldn't have made the playoffs. chokers.
  19. BigSlick
    This upsets me, I'd much rather have Chris Harris out there than Todd " i get blocked 40 yards downfield on a screen pass" Johnson. This Mike Brown injury, compounded with possible suspension and injury of Ricky Manning Jr. could put a lot of pressure on our already weakened secondary. Bad News Bears. I say give Cedric Benson 15 carries this game and see what he does with them. He does well? Keep give him 15 carries. Thomas Jones' act is starting to get old with me.

    I watched with basically my whole dorm in our lounge. 4 times I screamed my head off (The 2 fumbles for Td's, the Hester punt and the kick wide left) When Hester returned the kick, I ripped my shirt off and ran out of the building into the rain. It was an experience.
  21. BigSlick
    Hey, that chick Orton is with......is she really a "chick" you think? I'd say its 50/50...IMO. Neckbeard sho likes his Jack and Coke. Don't spoil his party, he's having a good time! And don't tell me I wasn't the only one rooting for him to come in the 4th quarter instead of Griese.
  22. BigSlick
    There'll be a god if this is a 1985-esque season. I'll cry if we win the Super Bowl. I'll probabl cry if we don't make the super bowl.... :cry:
  23. BigSlick
    And I love him for it.
  24. BigSlick
    Its like the Sox collapse of last year, except this time it actually happened.
  25. BigSlick
    The entire NSBB community. I mean, we wont have a beautiful figurehead to bash all the time for our failure. It'll make complaining a little more difficult.
