  1. There is a thread on it in Social. It was just shown for the first time on Tuesday and is being replayed fairly frequently. It will be on On Demand starting Oct.2.
  2. Tillman was downright average last year even before the playoff game. Vasher was opportunistic which got him a pro bowl bid. Maybe your right, but if the secondary was so good last year, why did the Bears use the draft and FA to add to the secondary and not other areas of need.
  3. So she is going to live but most likely will be blind in both eyes? That's a bit of a relief, but still disheartening to hear that the vision loss is likely to stay. On the selfish side, its a bit of a relief to know that he won't likely be retiring or anything crazy.
  4. I am a bit worried that the secondary is going to be exposed. The CBs I think are very overrated. Vasher and Tillman have done absolutely nothing this year (except tackle players after they've burned them on routes). Brown is still Brown and Manning is fast for a safety, but overall, if there was a game for the secondary to prove themselves, this is it.
  5. Thank you! Thank you! I am pretty good at these things. Going out on a limb and taking Howard and Morneau was key for me.
  6. I like our current broadcasters much better. I do too except for the fact that their voices remind me of losing
  7. Meh, park west of Ashland and walk for free...its like 10 minute walk and the spots are all free with no passes needed.
  8. I thought I read somewhere that it was being put on hold for the time being....
  9. A player injured during or shortly after his career with the Cubs! NO!
  10. Congrats Fire! They are now the only 3 time winners from the MLS right?
  11. Shave heads properly if I remember correctly.
  12. Is his contract due to him next year if he retires? What if he misses the season "recovering" and then retires?
  13. Definitely LOLed at that comment.
  14. I just want to see a White Sox and Cardinals free playoffs for my own sanity
  15. Just wanted to use this thread to point out that Gary Bennett is 2-19 since his huge series against the Cubs, including 0 for his last 16
  16. It worked for the White Sox.... It's ridiculous to know how easy it would have been to win the division this year.
  17. Hay guys, what's going on in this thread?
  18. Look on Craigslist, you can get good tickets for this last homestand for as low as $5
  19. I got to watch parts of about 50 minutes of the game. Pretty good match overall.
  20. Don't fret about the losing guys. I suspect a long period of not losing is coming up real soon.
  21. Don't stop believing. Well now that its offical, we can reunite for Bears and Bulls season.
  22. How fast do hot cakes usually fly past you? On average, I would say 12-15mph, though I vaguely remember a time as a child walking to school when the wind was blowing in my direction. Those hot cakes had to of been soaring at a speed of at least 45mph. I say vaguely because I was knocked out cold by one with a severe concussion and welts the size of grapefruits :cry: It wasn't safe living near the Aunt Jemima factory when they left their windows open.. Still slower then the average fly ball :lol:
  23. Well Bears Seahawks pictures are few and far between. Here is the only picture I can find on Google images that doesn't make the Bears look bad http://www.kgw.com/sharedcontent/east/nfl/7/slideshow/636/images/4.jpg Some photos from the Seahawks website: http://www.seahawks.com/GalleryPics/Gall287/Flags2Q1019.jpg Oh yeah! Chandler with the 2 point conversion! (the only picture that wasn't biased for the seahawks http://www.seahawks.com/GalleryPics/Gall289/Chandler4Q1019.jpg
  24. Seahawks fans are pretty dim. They seem to think that we have no offense. Do they realize that teams aren't the same from year to year. First of all, I am not saying that Rex Grossman is the next coming of Brett Favre. But by watching the first 3 games of the season, IT IS PLAINLY OBVIOUS that with Grossman at QB, the Bears offense is better. YES, there are still problems in the red zone. YES, he makes mistakes still when pressured. But the fact of the matter is, in games Grossman plays, the Bears offense consistantly puts itself in a position to score. The offense is completely changed from last season. I guess I shouldn't be too upset because the Seahawks don't intently watch Bears games like we do. If they did they would see how conservative the offense was with Orton at the helm. When Grossman threw a bomb to I think Moose in the GB game last year, it was the first 40+ yard pass completion of the year. How many do we have this year? Certainly more then 1. The game has opened up and we can now play for the deep pass instead of simply hoping to get a few good runs and a FG while hoping for the D to hold ground. We can now actually get in shootouts, as evidenced by the playoff game. Seahawks fans seem to think we got shut out in that game. I agree, the game was worse then the score indicated, but we spent most of the second half within a 1 score distance. Our defense failed, but our offense looked pretty decent in that game and has only improved since. I don't mind Seattle thinking that they can win, because they should think that. But to dismiss the Bears as an inferior opponent and then saying its because we have no offense is idiotic.
  25. The game isn't for another 6 days, and this game thread already has as many pages as the last 2 Cubs game threads combined.
