    I'm starting to feel a little better about the Bears chances at home against GB next week, but I'd still prefer avoiding that scenario, especially since Atlanta is very beatable as Flames just said.

    Also, I don't know what's going on in Seattle but I'm officially annoyed. As UM said, I don't recall ever hearing so many obnoxious things from one fanbase/media outlet before a game in my entire life. Just absolutely zero respect whatsoever. I get the feeling they're still bitter about Super Bowl XL, or something. Considering all that's been said, I wouldn't mind if Lovie ran up the score once he has the lead.

    How much of this is because they feel the Packers will win and how much of it is because everyone at ESPN is praying for the epic Bears-Packers matchup so they can spend the entire following week spewing garbage about the rivalry? In contrast, 4 of the 5 "experts" on CBSSports picked the Falcons over Packers. All 5 picked the Bears over Seahawks.
  4. JonJayCutler
    Yes, but why?

    Of course the media is going to hate a guy who prefers keeping to himself and out of the spotlight. I don't blame him one damn bit though. It's not easy being a celebrity and he obviously has his own way of handling it. Why are people so obsessed with eye contact anyway? Just because he looks elsewhere during a conversation doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't give a damn. Some people are simply weirded out by eye contact, especially by people they don't know.

    If this is true, that's just insane. A regular season NBA game over an NFL playoff game? I don't care what team is coming to town... I agree though, most Bears fans are predicting a blowout and probably don't see a point in forking out the money for that. Personally, I'd have a lot of fun watching a Bears blowout in person.

    If they don't, we better be getting some of the best posts from you to date. It will take a lot to top week 3.

    Lol this board is going to be awesome if Jerry doesn't draft OL in the 1st round. Personally I'd put DT at the #3 need behind OL and WR.

    Being a Cleveland sports fan has to be absolute hell.

    The basics are this: home teams have gone 234-110 in the playoffs since the AFL merger. That's a rock-solid .680 winning percentage. Dome teams, meanwhile, are 27-15 (.642), including last week's indoor wins by the Cardinals and Cowboys. But that number is very misleading: the prolific statistical oddity that is Kurt Warner is 7-0 at home in his domes in St. Louis and Arizona. The rest of the indoor quarterbacks and indoor teams of the world have gone just 20-15 (.571) in their very own home arenas. This was written a year ago yesterday. Of course, since then, the Saints went 2-0 at home in a dome, the Vikings went 1-0, the Colts went 2-1 (loss this weekend included), so its 32-16 now (.667 winning percentage). Still, road teams actually fare better in domes. Of course the one time I don't bother to look up stats it comes back to haunt me. I basically made that statement with the recent playoff success of the Saints, Colts, Cardinals, and Rams (a little further back) in mind.

    No disrespect to the Packers, but after thinking about it, I think Atlanta wins their game somewhat easily. The Packers have no losses by more than 3 points, but I think that ends here. Hear me out on this one: 1. HFA in a dome. Playing a playoff game, especially in a dome, is completely different than a regular season game at the same location. Atmosphere, crowd noise, whatever. I don't even have to look it up to tell you that road teams don't fare well in domes during the playoffs. 2. Rest. There is a reason one of the bye teams usually make the Super Bowl. One less game and thus a lot more rested. Besides, this is the 4th "win or else" game in a row for the Packers. One has to think they could break down at any moment. 3. Disrespect by media. It's quite likely that the Falcons will have a chip on their shoulders due to all the disrespect they're getting this week. Just one point favorites coming off a bye while playing against the 6th seed? I know the Packers aren't just any 6th seed, but c'mon. I expect the Packers to prove me wrong again though, as they always do. Super Bowl bound.

    Zambrano > Dempster. And that's not even taking into account what he adds at the plate.
  13. JonJayCutler
    The Tyler Colvin hate has reached an absurd level around here.
  14. JonJayCutler
    its that cold now, well, 30 degrees anyway. wont the colder temp help the field surface? will it be harder, and thus less slippery / muddy / loose sod, or will it just be an ice rink a la TCF? Probably, which is good news for the Bears. Get the surface to be as dome-like as possible.
  15. JonJayCutler
    Also let's not forget the vast difference of weather from the first game to Sunday's game. I'm almost positive the week 6 game was played on an unseasonably warm day with temps in the high 60s. Right now they're calling for a high of 20 for Sunday's game. You'd have to think cold weather favors the Bears here. It does get cold in Seattle, but usually not that cold.
  16. JonJayCutler
    Counting last year, a 1 or a 2 seed from the NFC has lost in the divisional round three of the last five years. In 2008, neither the 1 or 2 seed made it to the NFC Championship Game. Congrats on your inevitable trip to the Super Bowl.
  17. JonJayCutler
    But you just said Hasselbeck is a smart QB. He's been pretty bad since the back/knee injury in 08. I have never feared facing Hasselbeck but I especially don't now.
  18. JonJayCutler
    As I've said before, I definitely prefer Atlanta in Atlanta for the NFC CG, but to be honest I don't see it happening. This whole playoff setup just reeks of a Bears-Packers NFC CG. That game thread would have a strong potential to be the best of all-time here at NSBB.

    This is all kinds of dumb. Not only that, but it's kind of odd that a FG kicker is the one saying it considering his job doesn't really get any easier or harder depending on what team he plays. Did he not have faith in his team to beat the Eagles? pretty sure he wants the NFC Championship at SF or just wants NFC North bragging rights Those are fine reasons, but I'm pretty sure that's not how the Seahawks will see it.

    Lol McCarthy.
  22. JonJayCutler
    Well I gave rooting for the Packers the old college try, but it just can't happen. With Jackson hurt we might be better off playing the Eagles anyway.
  23. JonJayCutler
    I want absolutely no part of that. As crazy as it sounds, give me Atlanta in Atlanta any day over GB in Chicago.
  24. JonJayCutler
    My god I don't remember Julius Jones being this bad.
  25. JonJayCutler
    Pretty solid stats for Rosscup to this point, and you'd have to think that the depth of TB's farm is part of the reason he hasn't been named a top prospect. I'm eager to see what he can do. Hendry must have gotten good reports on the health of Perez. I heard he brings A+ defense. I still don't like the trade very much, but I'm willing to give it a chance.
