Must be nice if you are the Texans and automatically know the Bears are going to run on every 1st down.

Good field position...yet again.

I think we have to accept that Cutler will never have an acceptable QB rating with us.

Sadly, just about every single one has gone against us so far. Maybe things will even up.

Yes

I hate Mike Tice's playcalling. How many [expletive] 1 yard passes are you going to throw when the Texans arent allowing any YAC

Devin Hester, the field position giver and taketh awayer

Punting from the 36 when Robbie hit one from 2 yards closer earlier with room to spare

Should we be worried about cutlers lifetime concussion total. He had a couple in Vandy and one in Denver too right?

What a completely disastrous night so far.

Oh. It's one of those games for Cutler then.

Between this and the Jennings down by contact play, we are getting the short end of the stick. At worst you can say both of those plays could have gone either way and they both went against us and both those plays would have completely changed the game.

Urlacher looks absolutely terrible out there. I've counted 5 plays tonight where he's looked bad.

Urlacher is blah tonight

Why is Urlacher coming up to Manning an shaking his hand after he intercepts a pass against his team?

Was that not down by contact immediately following the INT.

So now they can push our guys over 3 seconds after the play and it not a penalty?

Holding?

quick, everyone have a quality discussion until kyle sees this thread and pounces on it.

So..uhhh..go bears

Agreed, my brother in law is a Lions fan and he's gotten a little too smug about them the last couple of years Smug? Bizarre....they are now 21-20 over the last 3 years, 0-1 in the playoffs, 0 division titles, 5-10 against the division over the last 3 years (1-4 vs. CHI, 3-3 vs. MIN, 1-3 vs. GB). Oh and the team consists of a bunch of morons that are constantly getting arrested and/or penalized for cheap/late hits. You've gotta be pretty stupid if you can get smug over that. Edit: Yes this is a "sneakypower come bitch at me" bat signal.

Obviously he has some appeal to his writing since he's one of the most popular sportswriters in America. Doesn't matter if he's a good writer if the stuff he writes is entertaining.

Compared to who? Their perception where they've occupied 5 spots in the top 10 all season and already have a bye to the Championship? I was going to make a comment about this earlier. Take a team like South Carolina. They are #8 despite being blown out by 33 points to florida, losing to LSU as well. They did blowout Georgia, which was impressive, but outside of that win, they havent beaten anyone. Look at the rest of their wins.. Vandy (5-4), ECU (6-4), UAB (3-7), Missouri (5-5), Kentucky (1-9), Tennessee (4-6), Arkansas (4-6). You'd think that a team playing in the SEC with all these top 5 teams would have at least 2-3 wins over ranked teams if they are #8 in the country. Georgia is similar to South Carolina. They beat a good team (Florida) and got blown out by 28 points for their only loss to South Carolina. Other than that, their wins are over Buffalo (3-7), Missouri (5-5), Florida Atlantic (3-7), Vandy (5-4), Tennessee (4-6), Kentucky (1-9), Mississippi (5-4) and are on their way to beating Auburn (2-8). Their last 2 games are somehow against Georgia Southern (1-AA) and Georgia Tech (5-5) then the SEC title game most likely. How do you get through the supposedly impossible SEC with 1 win over a ranked team until the championship game? Yet LSU and South Carolina are 2 loss teams in the top 10. Immediately after them are an undefeated team (going into the week) and 3 one loss teams from BCS conferences (Florida State, Oregon State and Clemson). I don't necessarily think the SEC is vastly overrated, but I'm starting to think it is overrated to some degree.

Seems like every time I give up on a UM game they pull it out. What a fantastic finish. NW last lost some real heartbreakers this year. GO PSU! I'm guessing we will have a really good idea who is playing Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game in about 3 hours. Edit: I guess I should say I guess we'll have a good idea if Nebraska will be playing Wisconsin for the Big Ten title game. This is the last game I could see them losing, but even if they lose Michigan still of course has Ohio State (and Iowa who is crappy but usually annoying against UM)

Wow I didnt expect that to happen. Now many seconds did we have left against ND last year when we went for the end zone after that long play? 8 seconds? I'm surprised Michigan didn't go for the end zone with 1 play, but I guess that might not trust Gardner to not throw an INT or get sacked.
