    I like looking at it that way 8) Also heartwarming: Stl just got punked by Arizona in their own building.

    You may be right, but if the a good opportunity came up to acquire Tejada or ARod, I think you would see Hendry fall out of love with him very quickly. Probably. Maybe Hendry is thinking Lugo in CF until Pie is ready, then deal Izzy? Maybe get lucky and Izzy does semi-decent which turns in to some trade value? I'm trying to think this through on Jim's behalf, but I'm having difficulty with the apparent infatuation with putting Lugo in CF...

    Cowboys remaining schedule is junk. I'm saying it right here: they win out and finish 12-4. Which means the Bears can't lose more than 2 of their remaining 4 games to maintain HFA. Bears remaining games at StL Tampa at Detroit GB Dallas remaining games NO at Atl Philly Det now I am not really disagreeing that HFA isnt' a lock, but are you watching the same NFL I am? I would think the Bears have an easier time of it from here on out. who has the tie breaker anyway? Bears haven't lost to an NFC team yet, so I would think they do, so the Bears can lose two game with Dallas winning out and still have HFA yes, that's what I said. You think NO, Atl, Philly, Det isn't easy? Who among those clubs will deliver a loss to Dallas? I guess I still think NO are pretenders----I'm thinking Dallas exposes them handily.

    OK. Who in the NFC is better than the Boys right now? I'll still say the Bears. Maybe Seattle, but I don't know if I really believe in them again yet. That D looks really leaky. Grossman absolutely ripped them to shreds----they're suspect. Not N.O. Not Carolina.
  5. Soul
    God I wish he would shut up. But I also wish Grossman would shut him the hell up, and he hasn't. So it just sucks all around. Freaking Buck. Just knowing that even if the Cubs make the playoffs he's there waiting for us is enough to send me into a clinical depression.

    If it's a tear, he's done until next October. is this official or speculation? Answering the question "will he be back in time for the playoffs?". If it's a tear, he might be back in time for the 2007 playoffs. Even if it's really a sprain I don't see him being ready in 6 weeks. I missed the "If" in your prior post for some reason. it it's a tear, I agree with your assessment. done for the year. if a sprain, it all depends on the degree of sprain. He might miss that first playoff game regardless of anything else. This really sucks, but you know what? The way Tommie has been playing lately-----he himself even said he's had trouble being motivated for games. I think he needs a rest. He's only 295lbs and gets double teamed by 340 pounders every week.

    :?: :?: Kenny Lofton has made the playoffs 8 times, and the team has been eliminated every time. Some bad times include 2003 Cubs and 2004 Yankees. Oh so *THAT'S* what it was #-o Excuse me while apologize to the goat.

    Wow. Tuna's move pays off.
  10. Soul
    Comes down to Gramatica! The desperation Tuna move last week to get some kicking help! Oh, the drama! :lol:

    Were they not amazingly bad? They came close to 3-11, ringing it up to 3-9. We'll see if it was just the road trip. They'll need to beat quality opponents to improve on the one-and-done of the past couple years. I hope they can, but they didn't inspire much hope by going 0-fer against those quality road opponents on the trip.
  12. Soul
    This might come down to.......oh yes you guessed it!......the leg of Martin Grammatica
  13. Soul
    Yeah well we all KNOW this, but what's the sense in sitting here saying the BCS sucks? It does and everyone knows it does, but we're stuck with it, so we might as well debate the garbage they've given us. I won't participate. I won't be a slave to the BCS and their ridiculous, incessant, pointless "who got dissed" arguments every year. You shouldn't either. Right now they're laughing at us.
  14. Soul
    There's no way to say until the rehab starts.
  15. Soul
    Yes. They're terrible. How Coughlin is any better than Fassel was is a mystery to me. Still looks like the same junky, poor fundamentals ballclub to me.
  16. Soul
    The problem is the BCS. It's just the BCS. There's always going to be that argument. BCS promised to end the incessant arguments. It hasn't. It has failed. It needs to be removed in favor of a playoff. I'm sick of shouting to a brick wall every year on this. So is everyone else. Let's kidnap the bowl presidents, vote in a playoff system, then release them. The presidents need to be told to shut up. BCS needs to die. Playoff needs to be instituted. End of story.

    I've never seen a team with a QB posting a 1.3 QB rating win handily. That speaks to the Bears D turnover munchiness. And the Vikings' overall junkiness.
  18. Soul
    Nope. That would be too late. You need to find out NOW if Griese will be better, otherwise you go into the playoffs with a cold QB. No good. Has to happen now or never.
  19. Soul
    Geez :( Yeap. Lovie says it's a sprained knee. I'm thinking there's a good chance we just lost Tommie for the year. :cry: :cry:

    Am I the only one who totally disagreed with the announcers in that it was a bad decision to go to Berrian there? He was one on one and getting separation. The throw was bad, the wind didn't help, and Berrian not contesting the pick more didn't either, but I didn't think it was a bad decision as they kept trying to say. no. I and others agree with you 100%. Not a bad decision. Just didn't get thrown quickly enough to be within Rex's range.
  21. Soul
    Yeah well........I've got no problem with those USC honeys doing a cheer at any time 8)
  22. Soul
    Why not grab both? 8)

    I figured that's what would happen. Once again the BCS fails. Not because Michigan didn't make it. But because the system offers no sure way of making a positive determination between teams such as Michigan and Florida. Hopefully this will force some changes. Probably not though.

    Lovie: "Difficult to win the division 2 years in a row. That's big." "We made a lot of great plays. RMJ's interception was big. All of them were big." "Hester is a special player. Every time he touched the ball I felt like he could score." "Offensively we didn't get much done. The turnovers, we have to correct. Pleased with how we ran the football. Benson really came on strong." "Harris sprained knee. Vasher hamstring." "We have a lot to do yet. Good to get the first goal accomplished. Now we are going to see if we can get home field advantage." "I'm definitely concerned about the injuries, hopefully they will be O.K." "Rex is our Quarterback." "Difference between perception and reality. We're 10-2 with Rex at QB. That's the reality. We aren't changing. We're 10-2 with Rex." "Pretty hard for me to tell you all the things we would need to change. At 10-2, there's not alot that needs to be changed. We're in the playoffs now. We are going to cherish that right now. We know we have work to do, and we will do it." "We're in the playoffs. It's big. Other people think it's easy to do. I've never been associated with a team that went back-to-back division champs. We're definitely celebrating in the locker room."
  25. Soul
    Grossman: "I know I can play, it's just a matter of doing it on the field." "Gloves didn't have an effect." "Never got into a rhythm against them." "Proud of the team and what we have accomplished." "I'm thinking too much. I'm trying to analyze things too much. I just need to play and not worry about these little things. It's easily corrected." "I just need to worry about fixing these errors. Nothing else."
