  1. Maybe that's why
  2. I love passing but there apparently aren't any running plays in the playbook
  3. Seemed like all our injuries last year were on D. No chance the O gets through without needing backups to step up
  4. Hope they do. Losing faith by the minute over here
  5. You know people are overreacting irrationally when I bother to mention something about it. But at least we have Kyle here to be inciteful and Sponge to not get it. Irrational sports fans? How dare they! Everyone stop feeling things! I'll go get you another bale of hay for that strawman. Start your own thread of Bear fans who don't feel anything when they watch games. I promise to stay out of it
  6. Umm... 10 points off turnovers and you're pissed at Tucker? Gutless interior, then no real coverage outside near the goal line. It's like a guaranteed score after turnover. They never play for turnovers anymore either. Project this out to the 49ers and Packers. This Bills offense is complete junk, everyone knows it. Why do I have to respond to this? You already know it Cali
  7. If we are lucky 1-3 start
  8. First time in a NSBB game thread? :) Remember, this is exactly why many people don't go into the game threads, because people are insufferable idiots. Everyone is here
  9. Other than the breakdown on that run I think the D played decently It's the Bills
  10. Told you all about Tucker. Screamed it from the mountain top. Bears are so dumb
  11. Shut up Moose
  12. I'm sure they signed Kyle Orton to a 2 year $11million deal because they were so confident in Manuel. They were so confident, they didn't make him a team captain. Manuel is bad, and it's not just a "perception on this board". He had a crummy preseason (yes, I know...preseason), and most people seem to think it's a matter of time before Orton is handed the job. Really? I'm not questioning you but I'm surprised Buffalo wouldn't give Manuel this entire season to sort things out. The moment they put Orton in, Buffalo accepts being losers for a good long time.
  13. I think that might look as creepy as it does with the mouth eyes. Does something to my psyche every time I see it. Can't seem to take my eyes off it. Hypnotic in a bad way.
  14. The play where he rolled right and threw back left to the endzone...and it was nearly picked off. Collinsworth gushed about his arm strength...I know that NOLA doesn't like to hear it, but man...if that'd been Cutler... I just think you guys are so hypersensitive about him, much the way I would be about a Saint probably. Any QB who isn't named Peyton, Rodgers, Brady or Brees would have been called out for a dumb decision on that play. In fact, I hear national announcers calling out Drew for some boneheaded things he's done in the past during broadcasts. It's just gotten to the point where when any QB in the league uses questionable judgement, some guys go there immediately. Hell, Cutler is a pretty good QB but Romo and Eli with his 2 rings get at least as much grief as Jay. If anyone gets off too easy by the media, it's not Rodgers but Matty Ice in Atlanta. As a Bears fan, I must say this post is 100% true. Brees had a pretty [expletive] year a few years ago (led league in INTs) and made repeated bad decisions. Oh god, if Cutler made that throw, or the other one that looked like a throwaway it was so bad... ...well, you know what would have happened. Good RexJay/Bad Rex/Jay Or something similarly stupid.
  15. The play where he rolled right and threw back left to the endzone...and it was nearly picked off. Collinsworth gushed about his arm strength...I know that NOLA doesn't like to hear it, but man...if that'd been Cutler... I've long ago given up on expecting these guys to just call a game. They target certain players and deliver a preconceived message every week. Only an egregious series of mistakes will take them off it. With Collinsworth I've always expected more because I think he does have the ability to, but over the years he just hasn't delivered. As it is, I find his commentary to be so ridiculous at times as to be nauseating.
  16. I felt like they were desperately trying to pump up Peppers in the commentary, but he just wasn't showing up other than a few plays. The PFF grades seem to support that. I though Ha Ha was fairly good -- you have to consider it was his first time out. It was Rodgers who really surprised me - poor decision making. There were two times when he clearly had first downs with his feet, but elected to throw instead costing drives. Lacey also looked poor, although that was likely because the Packers' line wasn't getting it done very often. Starks had a much better average though, admittedly on far fewer attempts but he looked much better to me. Seattle won't lose at home very often, as usual. The Packers probably won't face that kind of defense for the rest of the year, so it's difficult to draw any conclusions.
  17. Everybody would like to have the #1 offense, #1 defense, and #1 ST...but that's not real realistic. Every team is going to have weaknesses, and while we're working on improving the defense, I'd much rather my team weakness be on that side of the ball. Wait a minute. Did you even read my post? I never said anything even close to this.
  18. I choose to believe that last night was the dawning of a new era of Packers and Rodgers suckage. ...until next week
  19. Thank you. And the rest of you are a bunch of killjoys
  20. So is Rodgers. On that drive he's jaw boning with the refs on a holding call he never saw because he was running the other way. He's nearly on Rivers' level and never ever gets called on it.
  21. Never say this.
  22. Just trust me, it's not that great
  23. Packers D looks putrid at the moment. TD run there wasn't a single Packer who won his matchup
  24. I don't see that last sentence as necessarily a bad thing. What does Sean Payton know about defense? But he has a ring and a perennial contender. Yep. Pat Mannelly didn't view it as a bad thing either. Basically said that Lovie's problem was that he couldn't seem to get good offensive coaches in there. I guess if you really don't like Tucker, you could draw a parallel there, but honestly...I'd rather be strong offense and weak defense than vice versa in this league right now. It's not either/or. All I ever wanted was good offense. I can see taking a hit on D to get it, but total unmitigated collapse is a different story. We're talking in circles with this thing though. I'm going to kick a dog if Tucker doesn't do something this year.
