    That's a misleading stat obviously 3 of those were in one game. False, one was in the Seahawks game.
  2. UMFan83
    That pass was 7 yards from the goal line too. What's the point of making that throw? Horrible decision making...the only thing seperating Cutler from being great are these lapses.
  3. UMFan83
    The thing I was scared of...Cutler throwing taking points off the board. SON OF A BITCH. I was saying before every play "NO INTS" That's the 4th Cutler INT in FG range this year. 12 points he's taken off the board by forcing it. Momentum shift to Atlanta, let's get a stop..
  4. UMFan83
    The announcers just said they thought Cutler checked into a running play. But I thought Cutler was a selfish me first guy that only checks away from running plays?
  5. UMFan83
    Radical play call to go for QB sneak on 3rd and 1.
  6. UMFan83
    Offensive line has looked spectacular so far.
  7. UMFan83
    Nice and easy...take what they give you. I like the gameplan so far (cause it's working mostly...)
  8. UMFan83
    3 passes to start the game, but I liked the pass on 3rd down.
  9. UMFan83
    Just missed taking it back. I don't know if he tripped up on the turf of someone got a hand on him barely, but he was about to be in high gear.
  10. UMFan83
    Nice job on the pressure....3 and out! Let's see what Cutler and Co. have in store...
  11. UMFan83
    Here comes the first 3rd and long of the day....

    I have the same feeling of nervousness that I did before Week 1's game. I think we've shown a lot since the GB game, but this game will be a great barometer for how good this Bears team is. Critics could easy make the "missed FGs" excuse for the Steelers and Seahawks games, and the fact that awful Detroit held up with us in that win, but if we beat Atlanta, a place where they've lost only 1 game in the Matt Ryan era, we are legit. If we get run off the field, it doesn't mean we're awful, but we might want to lower the expectations a little bit until we can get the trouble areas shored up a bit. This team is a work in progress who already cannot hit their ceiling with the major injury to Urlacher, but at this moment I believe they still have a chance to be pretty damn good. This is my last rational thought on this board for the next 3.5-4 hours.

    Hahaha Dumb comment but it doesn't mean he's never going to be a star. He held his own the first few games so the Jets let him open it up a little and it failed miserably. Rein him in and see if a more conservative gameplan will lead to more victories. Just because Matt Ryan did it last year doesn't mean that rookie QBs should be expected to be polished right off the bat. In fact its unbelievably rare that this occurs.

    I used to always root for ties, but after last year's tie, the standings looked so dumb like the Eagles went 9-6-1. How do you even feel after a tie? I think it feels more like a loss than a win. I think if the Eagles had lost that game instead of tying it, either the Bucs, Cowboys or Bears (can't remember which) would have made the playoffs instead of them, so I guess a tie has some merit.

    Has a 3:00 game ever still been going on when the Sunday Night game starts?
  16. UMFan83
    I think it's Briggs-Roach-Tinoisamoa with Jamar Williams being the only backup? Or am I missing someone?
  17. UMFan83
    That's lame. I doubt the systems he played in are that much different than Chicago. Isn't Anthony Adams supposed to be hurt? Seems like a no brainer to play him today. BTW, just stumbled across a somewhat funny cartoon/video. A bit outdated but I chuckled. I hope this guy steps up big tonight. http://www.bangcartoon.com/2009/special_delivery.htm

    Did anyone else see that the Metrodome is now called "Mall of America Field"? Just another reason to hate the Vikings.

    I definitely hate primetime games becauseyou have to wait all day and it makes me like my team is less connected to the rest of the league (I know that probably sounds weird). On the flip side, it is awesome to have something to look forward to at the very end of your weekend, or during a long Monday.

    looks like I got out of New Englad just in time because at 11:30 this morning there wasn't a drop of snow on the ground.
  22. UMFan83
    Why not wait until the offseason? Maybe a player of Gaines' potential and upside isn't available in the offseason.
  23. UMFan83
    I'm assuming Adams can't play DT? I don't see why we traded for a DE when Brown and Ogun are both holding their own. DT is the much better problem. Now we don't have a first and second round picks next year. On the positive side, we are getting a good young player. He's expensive, but short term I think we're under the cap anyways and plus everyone is saying next year will be uncapped anyways. This is the least scientific way to rate a player and it's not very exact or sometimes accurate, but for the purposes of judging relative talent, Madden's ratings have Adams as a 79 OVR, Ogunleye is 83 and Brown is 78.

    Just for fun, every ESPN.com and CBSsports.com person picks the Falcons to beat the Bears. Peter King is the only one I think I've seen in the media to pick the Bears.

    I can't believe no one is complaining about forgetting Chris Stynes. I watched opening day 2002 and I have never heard of him.
