    Could they be that desperate to convince the fans they are in it for the longhaul? That seems so dumb.

    Bigger baseball fans hate the American thing and require jumbotrons? Do you just mean great big fat people or people who are fans of baseball? Because if it's the latter I don't think you could be more wrong.

    I don't know how Johnson got off without a suspension. I think an unprovoked sucker punch getting just a fine one week before pretty much sealed the deal for Johnson, since that was actually a provoked fight.

    Won by 14 last year despite being a bad team. Won by 27 the previous year despite being mediocre. 4-2 in Detroit during the Lovie era, with the only losses occuring during 5-11 and 7-9 seasons. The 2007 loss really stands out because it was when many of us still thought the Bears were good despite losing Briggs in the Cowboys game and having everything go downhill. Plus it was a terrible come from ahead loss. But I'm not really worried about playing there, per se.

    Philly or Seattle in survivor.

    Yup. I never said I thought he shouldn't be in the top 10. I was saying that knowing how the media in general thinks I don't think cutler is gonna get much respect until he sheds the "all talent no brains"/"loser since high school"/"inconsistent" labels he has. Jeff George

    Yup...just waiting for that first idiot to somehow still have the Bucs (0-4 vs. +500) ahead of the Bears in their power rankings. But realistically no one will. Enjoy being the "team with good record that has beaten no one" Tampa! Don't forget KC. Or the Jets.... Didn't realize how weak that has been. But they did beat NE and MIA

    Quite a few Packers fans seeing that scenario play out too, except with us instead of the Bears. I'm not buying it. I think both the Packers and Bears are better teams than the Giants and Bucs. We'll see if that's proven over the next month. Being better doesn't matter as much if they can't win 11. Bears need to be Redskin fans with 2 games against NYG and one vs Tampa.

    I still think some of their troubles are due to having played more than any team. As the season progresses, they should climb that ladder, unless injuries creep up. And supposedly Hossa got hurt in practice. But they shouldn't be 4th.

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81c82290/article/divisionleading-bears-chiefs-could-miss-out-on-playoffs?module=HP_cp2 Kirwan has the Bears finishing 10-6 and missing the playoffs. I definitely fear this is a possibility.

    Lebron's may have been quicker, but Favre's has been more pronounced. I believe there are still an awful lot of Lebron worshippers out there right now. Nobody likes Favre, not even fans of the team he is on.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    And that MNF game comes off 10 days of rest following their Thursday game last week.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    Lebron was always looked at in such a positive light, always said the right things, did the right things, etc. Then came The Decision and he hasn't said or done anything right since then. I think that quite a bit of what Dan Gilbert said at the time of his departure must have had some merit to it. No one seems to be protecting him at this point and it's been "foot squarely into mouth" ever since he left there. His rep has changed more than any player in any sport I can remember, in such a short period of time, without doing anything criminal anyway. Favre?

    Urlacher is no longer defensive player of the year material, but he's an elite linebacker. His issue has been staying healthy and playing. When he's healthy, which he is, he's terrific.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    Does it have anything to do with the fact that the game was seen in something like 85% of the country? That's awesome either way. well, considering it's including all monday and sunday night games, yes, it is impressive. I remember being surprised reading what the Sunday games get in ratings. Something like 16-17, which is incredible for daytime TV when all those sitcoms struggle for 5-6.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    That article annoys me because they imply that Lance Briggs (and Urlacher) is not an elite LB. That's kind of dumb. They are a little older, but not old. And it's essentially the same personel that accounted for what was easily the most talented defense in the league in 2006, plus Peppers. The defense has plenty of talent to work with. Briggs, Urlacher and Peppers match up favorably with most top threes in the league.

    I was wondering about that, and I don't get it. CBS doesn't have an attractive early game other than Pats @ Bears. They already have Miami @ Jets at 4:15, and KC @ SD isn't terrible either. There also isn't a huge Fox early game, unless you count NYG @ MIN. It's a CBS doubleheader. They won't have national competition from Fox for the 4:15 game. They'll be able to get a huge audience with the Chicago and NE markets with no Fox. Sure, but they already have Miami @ Jets and KC @ SD. Plus Fox does have 2 late games that will take away in certain markets. They could dominate 1 and 4, but now their 1 games won't compete with FOX's games. It seems like they are putting all their eggs in the 4pm basket instead of taking both.

    This is true. Heck, I'd almost rather have the 5th seed then win the division with the 3rd seed. Either way you are playing on the first weekend and either way, you are playing on the road in the next round and likely the next 2 rounds. I'd trade a home game against the Saints for a road game against the Rams or Seahawks anyday, and I don't care if both teams have good home records. Eh, I'm not so sure I'd hate to face New Orleans in Chicago in January.

    Brees, Big Ben, and Rivers all are similar to Vick in the aspect that they would rather throw the ball down the field. Rodgers does too, but not as much, and he will also take off and run. Brees and Brady are the only QBs that I think can have long-term success doing that (of the guys you named). That's my big fear too. It's what we saw in the Superbowl vs. the Colts. Colts took what the Bears gave them and were great in the redzone, so bend but don't break didn't work vs. them. Those guys do work down the field, but Vick's huge success has been about the deep ball. Brees this year is completing 68.6% of passes and only throwing 7.3 yards per attempt.

    Dallas? Oakland is only 2-2 against that crappy division. They have been grossly overrated ever since beating KC in overtime. I think of the 8 western teams, San Diego is probably the best but the seven remaining teams are all sub standard. And while Detroit may be better than their record, they aren't good.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Do you mean bad NFC? Bad NFL doesn't make sense. But bad NFC isn't accurate either. There is a bad NFC West (and a bad AFC West) but the division has several quality teams. Atlanta, New Orleans, Chicago, Green Bay, Philly and NY stand up against the best six the AFC offers up. Jets, Pats, Ravens, Steelers, who and who? San Diego? Definitely San Diego. Going into last night's game, they were #1 on both sides of the ball in yardage. The special teams play is why they lost so many games early on. It appears that they have made the necessary adjustments to their special teams to actually get their names mentioned among the best in the AFC. They won pretty impressively last night at Indy. Yeah, over a fairly weak Indy team. I can understand putting them up there, but it's hard to forgive losing to Oakland, St. Louis, KC and Seattle. The western divisions suck and they've lost four games to western teams. They also haven't beaten a team that is better than 6-5. They've loaded up on mediocrity, lost to bad teams, and lost to the only good team they've played. They do have cake schedule the rest of the way though. Either way, that resume of quality teams isn't any better than the NFC's.

    Anyway, back to this game. The offense clearly won this game. The defense was stout when it mattered most, but their strengths matched up perfectly with Philly. Forcing Vick into dink and dunk mode and taking away the deep ball is what you have to do to beat him and it is pretty much what the Bears do every game. The problem will be when you face a QB who is better at that style, like Brady, Rodgers or maybe even a guy like Ryan or Brees in a potential playoff matchup. And god willing, Roethlisberger or Rivers.
