    So Chris Spencer broke his hand today. He was able to come back and finish the game today, but I can't see him playing for a couple of weeks. We have major issues with the line (more than we usually do even) if Carimi cannot play next week. Suh is going to eat us alive.

    Despite the 200+ rushing yards would you consider this another disappointing offensive performance? Looking at the totals they produced 20 points, and of them 7 came on a drive that started at around the Panthers 35 yard line after Hesters return and 7 came from the drive at the end of the game that started at the Panthers 40 and most of those yards came on the Forte run to the 2. Other than that there was the opening drive FG and a FG drive midway through the 4th. What's missing were long sustained TD drives.

    I gotta say none of these games this weekend have been all that enjoyable. The best one was probably the phils game yesterday. I want to see some close games.

    Yeah but they still have Philly (who knows if they get their [expletive] together by then), San Diego, Oakland (now tough because we cant stop the run), and 1 more against Detroit and Green Bay. The schedule is pretty tough this year. Philly is in Philly, but the Bears are coming off of a bye week. Eagles coming off of a game vs. Dallas. San Diego is in Chicago in late November, should be a factor Oakland will be tough, but you never know what you're going to get out of them (or the Bears really). They could come out and play well or lay an egg. 2nd Detroit game is also at home. Tampa is in a neutral site that should be a more pro-Bears crowd. The Bears should win Minnesota x 2, KC, Seattle, and Denver. Like to think they can take 1/2 of the other 6 (including MNF at Detroit). Despite how bad Minnesota has been, I have a hard time chalking up a gimme victory in the Metrodome when the Bears have won there once in the last 10 seasons, including seasons where the Vikings were bad.

    I'm pretty sure I openly cried watching the Cowboys/Bears debacle on Thanksgiving in 2004. That was the worst QB'd game by both sides that I've ever seen. Here's a youtube video I found of that game highlighting just how awful the QBs on both sides were in that game: Craig Krenzel, Jonathan Quinn, Drew Henson, Vinny Testaverde

    Ha yeah. Pretty incredible to go from Favre to Rodgers. Packer fans have been spoiled to say the least. I dont think you guys even know what it is like to not have a good QB. Even those years where Favre was bad, he was no where near as bad as the QBs the Bears have started over the years.

    I wonder who your next superstar QB is going to be after Rodgers retires in 15 years.

    I don't know what to think of Auburn. They almost lose to an awful Utah State team at home to start the year, then beat Mississippi State, lose on the road to Clemson before they were considered good by most, then go on the road and beat a highly ranked SC team.
  10. UMFan83
    hah

    Great performance by Max Scherzer so far. 1 hitter through 6. The series immediately shifts into Detroit's favor if they win this, with Verlander starting game 3 in Detroit.
  12. UMFan83
    Rumor is that Francona, Epstein, and Gonzalez are all tied at the hip. Gonzalez? Is this the punch line to some weird joke that I don't get or am I completely overlooking some obvious Gonzalez? Im guessing he means Adrian Gonzalez, but that doesn't make sense.

    I dont think ive ever seen the AP and Coaches polls so much in disagreement. Oklahoma AP: 3 Coaches: 1 LSU AP: 1 Coaches: 3 Stanford AP: 7 Coaches: 4 South Carolina AP: 18 Coaches: 14 Michigan State AP: NR Coaches: 20 Auburn AP: 15 Coaches: 23

    Why waste a surprise onside kick against the Broncos?
  15. UMFan83
    So does anyone feel any better about the Bears after this one? Defense gives up 550 yards, the running game was awesome but the Panthers suck against the run and the Bears had similar domination against them last season, the passing game was incomplete mostly but Cutler made some [expletive] throws and in general didnt have a ton of time to throw. The Panthers are somewhat decent but this kind of performance will not cut it against most of the teams on the schedule.

    This must feel the exact opposite of the 0-16 season for Lions fans. I cant even strike up a healthy hate for him because if anyone deserves to win its these guys.
  17. UMFan83
    What throw another pick 6?
  18. UMFan83
    I have to agree and might still agree after he gets 250 yards and 3 TD against the Bears next week
  19. UMFan83
    Eagles about to lose at home to San Francisco to fall to 1-3 despite almost 500 total yards for Vick.
  20. UMFan83
    I kind of want the Lions to win so they come into MNF 4-0 so it looks better if we beat them..
  21. UMFan83
    I just saw Cardinals 3 Giants 0 flash across the screen was my thought was "WTF did Berkman hit another one?"
  22. UMFan83
    ok this games over go to the Eagles-49ers or Cowboys-Lions game both of which are closer than this
  23. UMFan83
    Wow Bengals just beat the Bills lol
  24. UMFan83
    Wow 543 yards of offense against the Bears D. 29 points, including a blocked FG and another missed FG by about 2 feet. Oh well at least we win. Gonna be taking on the probably 4-0 Lions next week on MNF...
  25. UMFan83
    We get it Merriweather, you can hit people hard
