    good point. I'd still rather Philly win the division and have NYG fight for the WC. We don't have the tiebreaker with them but the Giants and Eagles still play as well as the Giants and Packers. The Packers game is a game where we'll be able to gain ground on one of those teams. I'm cheering for Philly because if Philly beats the Giants, the Packers/Giants game (in GB) gives the Giants a good chance to lose 2 games. At worst they would lose that Philly game and then beat the Packers and help us in the division. The Bears magic number for the division is 4 I think. In the WC race, it's probably also 4.

    I think it's both. Throwing off your back foot is generally considered bad and has ruined many a qb (rex grossman). However some have made their careers having success throwing off their back foot. Cutler is one. He makes his share of bad throws from that position but he's also made many more awesome throws

    He's obviously not going to get that much, but yeah, pass. Why? That takes him to age 36. He is a premier offensive and defensive player. Passing on contracts like this every time means you never get them, because someone will pay it. I doubt the Cubs are signing anyone to 8 years deals anymore after the Soriano signing. Hendry didn't even want to go 8 years to Soriano, McDonough made him.

    I agree we benefit from having the Giants play 2 teams we're battling with. If they go 1-1 and we go 1-1 we're still up a game with 2 other games to go. If the Bears go 2-2, those 2 better be over Minnesota and Green Bay. If the Bears go 2-2 and the 1 of the wins is against GB, we clinch a playoff spot.

    Am I crazy for wanting to face the Giants again? A little bit if you watched our offensive line's performance today and remember the Giants D line.

    That was awful. It's gonna take at least 11 wins to secure a playoff spot in the NFC. Bears need to go 2-2 over the last 4 which means a guaranteed win over the 9-2 Pats, 9-2 Jets or 8-4 Packers in Lambeau.
  8. UMFan83
    If and when the Saints win this, I am going to say that now it's gonna require 11 wins to feel safe about a playoff spot in the NFC.

    WOW....the Bengals really bungled that up. It was pretty obvious they were trying to draw someone offsides, and the Bengals did. Wow
  10. UMFan83
    If that lack of a challenge costs us a playoff spot, it should still cost Lovie his job, even if we go 11-5 and don't make it.

    Up to the minute standings: With a Saints loss: East: Eagles 8-4 Giants 8-4 North: Bears 9-3 Packers 8-4 South: Falcons 9-2 (vs. TB at 3:15 PM) Saints 8-4 Buccaneers 7-4 (vs. ATL at 3:15 PM) West: Who cares? I think the Rams are still leading because only the 49ers have played so far 1. Falcons 9-2 2. Bears 9-3 3. Eagles 8-4 4. Rams 5-6 5. Giants 8-4 6. Saints 8-4 ---------------- 7. Packers 8-4 8. Buccaneers 7-4 I'm gonna cheer for the Falcons in the late game. I don't think the Bucs are good enough to win a playoff spot but I'd rather them not linger around. That way it will be 6 teams playing for 5 spots and only 1 be left out.

    Yay lol

    you mean weak link? if he hadn't missed on those 5 passes the Bears would surely have won by 21 points He fumbled inside the 10, the Bears would have won a little more comfortably. Then again, if Jay Cutler wasn't [expletive] awesome the Bears would have lost easily.

    I hate how all my fantasy players are on NFC playoff contenders. Brees Vick Ivory Bradshaw Roddy White Tony Gonzalez I always find myself cheering for NFC contenders and then having to stop myself.
  15. UMFan83
    Sweet bonus coverage of Saints/Bengals.
  16. UMFan83
    Lions move to 2-10, and 0-6 on guarantees for the year.
  17. UMFan83
    Game over. Bears win. 9-3. Tough, frustrating game but I'll take it.
  18. UMFan83
    You guys want to see what Nathan Vasher looks like in a Lions uniform? http://media.mlive.com/ottoman-empire/photo/9029249-large.jpg
  19. UMFan83
    If we keep it on the ground, we are one 1st down from clinching the game.
  20. UMFan83
    Really? lol
  21. UMFan83
    Finally he's not acting like the weak link. Now he's only slightly holding the rest of the offense back.
  22. UMFan83
    3rd down conversion after 3rd down conversion. They have to be at least over 50% in 3rd down conversions today.
  23. UMFan83
    I think Jay was clearly down.
  24. UMFan83
    Their returner is really good. Leading the league in kickoff returns and he's looked really good today.
  25. UMFan83
    lol...can't stay happy for too long
