    Attn: Bears fans Re: Good defense Message Body: Harder without us huh? Signed, Tommie Harris, Mike Brown, Nathan Vasher, Todd Johnson

    Also 4 of the last 5 games have been on the road against the best competition of the year. That said, I know as a Bears fan, I am going to be hanging on for dear life when the playoffs start

    I don't get why the Bears haven't run more plays to utilize the teams speed and agility. I mean they have to an extent, but what seems to work best to maximize the ability of these speed guys are slant routes and screens. I mean I'm not suggesting going back to the John Shoop days (seriously...I'm not), but giving the Bears more room to run has never been a bad thing now that we got the right personnel.

    Why does it seem like we play the Bucs every year since they left the NFC Central?
  5. UMFan83
    BTW, what happened to Good as Gould??
  6. UMFan83
    So your saying that I shouldnt get too excited about a 15 point win over the 8 worst Pacers? :)

    Not to kill the joy here, but it was against the Rams bad D. But screw it I am not going to downplay his performance tonight on National TV with all that damn pressure on him from local and national media...the kid stepped up and played a smart game and got a win. Good job Rexy....now do it for 3 more weeks and get ready for some playoff wins!

    The Bulls are going to win at least 45 games this year. I was watching the Bears game and didn't have audio for the Bulls (but it was on TV) were Harrington, Jackson, Daniels and someone else all out??

    Lovie mentioned that just now on NFL Network. He mentioned that they were going to try and do that? He said something like "man we gotta try him on offense too, get him in there whenever we can" What a steal of a pick, I cant believe I criticized that pick
  10. UMFan83
    Lovie is very entertaining today. Nothing better then sitting at a bar with the Bears on my left and the Bulls on my right and both winning blowouts
  11. UMFan83
    I'd be getting back into the Hawks right now if they played home games on TV. Unfortunately because they don't it will take me and a lot of other Chicagoans a long time before they get back into things.

    Haha, if you did that last week for the vikings game, you would have had 1/2 shot of alcohol over a 3 hour period.
  13. UMFan83
    As much as I wouldn't want to goto the Superdome for the NFC Championship game, I would worry about getting a bye and a home playoff game much more then HFA. To do that we only need to win one more game.

    Wow Ersted, Willians and Finley. Wow, this totally increases my optimism for the upcoming season. Hey how about we just KEEP JACQUE JONES GEEZ
  15. UMFan83
    Just refreshing my prediction
  16. UMFan83
    Nah, I don't think even if he threw for 11 TDs tonight that it would be back to "Rex is Awesome" . It would be more like "Rex is awesome sometimes but ridiculously inconsistent, Bears still can't count on him to win in playoffs" He won't get rid of that stigma until he wins in the playoffs.
  17. UMFan83
    Deadline is Thursday, but they are saying that they need him to sign by Tuesday so they can conduct a physical and finalize the contract before its official.
  18. UMFan83
    Maybe the bad ones count because 5 of the 6 good games have come in the first 7 weeks and 3 of the 4 bad ones have come in the last 5 weeks. He started getting bad when teams learned to put pressure on Grossman and force him into making bad decisions (thanks to Denny Green and Arizona). When the pressure came, so did the turnovers. Then recently, its been a confidence problem as Turner has made the offense more conservative and Grossman has been shakey. He's not the same QB he was in the first 5 weeks of the season, you Grossman defenders need to realize that the gameplan to stop Rex is out there and works almost every time.

    If that happens, I'm guessing we'll have a very angry and unhappy Lance Briggs on our hands. He already seemed to be unhappy in the offseason and in training camp. Giving Briggs the franchise tag would not suit well with him, at least I wouldn't think so. Why would it not? Wouldn't he be paid among to top 4 Linebackers in football?
  20. UMFan83
    With the Cowboys about to lose, a Bears victory will clinch a first round bye for the playoffs. So we are a win away from getting back to where we were a year ago. That's all you can ask for.
  21. UMFan83
    So you'd rather the Cubs spend a bunch of money on a mediocre FA crop and tying the team down financially for the next 3 years while not improving nearly enough to compete for a WS title?
  22. UMFan83
    I think that might even be a little conservative, but I'd love that kind of production in CF. Maybe conservative, but all 3 of those numbers are higher then his career averages. But of course sample size and the fact that hes young play into that big time
  23. UMFan83
    Maybe not impressive but I think they are a lot better as a whole then this years. Buerhle/Schilling/Smoltz/Westbrook (4 random pitchers) >> Zito, Schmidt, Meche, Lilly
  24. UMFan83
    a) I said that there was a chance that a lot of these players would be locked up before they ever hit FA b) I never endorsed either side of the question...I just wanted to throw out a hypothetical situation and see what people thought c) The starting crop next year looks a HELL of a lot better then this years "led" by Zito (grossly overrated), Schmidt (injuries, lost velocity, old), and Meche (still don't completely understand why he was valued so high)
