    Aren't they only a game behind? Cleveland at 23-15 Chicago at 23-17
  2. David
    I don't know... if we held them to those numbers, which they are averaging on grass, I'd say we did our job as far as the run is concerned.

    The anticipation is killing me worse than for last week's game. I just want to see what's going to happen in this game. I'm both optimistic and pessimistic at the same time about this game...is that even possible??

    On grass: Deuce is averaging 17 carries, 62 yards, and 3.7ypc Bush is averaging 12 carries, 44 yards, and 3.6ypc In Dome: Deuce is averaging 16 carries, 76 yards, and 4.75ypc Bush is averaging 7 carries, 30 yards, and 3.8ypc In other words... Good in dome...bad on grass.

    Another valid point.

    I love how OMC keeps using yards and points with far more sophisticated and better metrics available. At the very least, try looking at those yards and points within the context of what actually was going on with the team. It's akin to saying that Kerry Wood sucks because he never won 15 games.

    QFT (or not)

    There is a difference in a throwaway game and another game. I didn't factor our throwaway game (where our starters played ONE series) just like I didn't factor your throwaway game into the stats (which in my opinion was hardly played like a throwaway game, given that Jones and Benson had over 20 combined carries and Hester returned 6 times) What do either of those things have to do with the defense? You really don't know much of anything about the Bears. That much is quite clear. I'm liking how much people are overlooking them and focusing on the supposed really hot Saints. They lost to the Redskins late in the season when the playoff seedings were up in the air. They lost many games during the season. Yet, for some reason, it's the Bears that have to prove something here. It's amusing. Didn't you realize that Rex Grossman starts at quarterback for the Bears, and that he throws 5 interceptions everytime he takes a snap?

    Definitely not overall. The Bears D is a beast. But the second half of the season y'all played poor offensive teams and gave up a ton of points. I showed you stats that showed that during OUR second half we played good offensive teams and gave up few points. Right now I think the Saints D is better. The stats prove that easily. no they don't. but your belief that they do prove you don't know much about football. Cut him some slack. His bias is obvoiusly getting in the way.
  10. David
    Another good point.
  11. David
    That's a ridiculous excuse. You think Urlacher or Hillenmeyer were like "well, we're already gonna be in the playoffs, so I'm only gonna play 80% today." These guys are professional athletes who love competition. If they are in the game, they are gonna be trying their best. And yet, you refer to the Saints last game as a throwaway... By the way, DEVIN HESTER WAS IN THE SECONDARY FOR THE LAST 4 GAMES.

    http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamdef.php DVOA has the Saints as the #19 defense in the league. I'll take the in-depth statistical analysis over the yardage and points totals every time. EDIT - For those who don't know what DVOA is (although I'm sure most on here do) but want to know, here's a rundown. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/methods.php

    http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6379136 Hope the quotes aren't too big...
  14. David
    Or with the actual predictions of the outcome.
  15. David
    I'm with you. This sucks. I knew it to be true already, but I have kept hoping that against all odds they'll change their minds at the last second. Nameless owns.
  16. David
    Some of the prettiest passes I've seen Rex throw have been up the seam to Davis. Anyone remember a similar throw he made in the Lions game? Right in his hands, right in stride. I think it was a couple plays after he threw the interception that was called back on the penalty. Also, obviously, that throw to Rashied in the first Vikings game.

    I'm sure it's been asked here numerous times, but does anyone around here know of/post at any good Bears message boards? I recognize a few of the posters here from over at the chicagobears.com board, but, and I'm sure those of you who have posted there will agree, that message board is pretty much trash. Very poorly moderated and lots of idiots. Much like the Cubs.com boards...

    I liked when they busted out the white on whites... One of the few things from the Jauron era that I missed.
  19. David
    Looks pretty sick. No way they'll be wearing those this weekend, though.
  20. David
    Yea, it'll be navy on white... though I'd love to see them come out in navy on navy and win, just to shut up the people who think those uniforms are somehow jinxed or that they had anything to do with the Bears losses to the Packers.
  21. David
    You're a good man (I'd recommend hating their basketball team too). I hate all things Gators, but my hatred for Urban Meyer trumps all else Gators. All things except Alex Brown, Rex Grossman, Ian Scott, and Todd Johnson, right? :)
  22. David
    Not to open another can of worms, but DVOA has the Saints defense as #19 in the league, FWIW. I didn't pull my assessment out of nowhere. EDIT - In terms of weighted defense, which weighs the most recent part of the schedule a little more heavily, the Saints are ranked 17th.
  23. David
    This is all I was trying to say and for whatever reason you decided to argue. Can't we all just get along? :)

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/statistics?stat=team&sort=pts&pos=off&league=nfl&season=2&year=2006 Chicago - 427 New Orleans - 413 Not a huge difference, but it's still a difference. Yes, but as I said, the Bears scored a lot of points on defense and special teams. Not really the offense's doing.
  25. David
    Our offense probably wasn't better in points (too lazy to look up the actual offensive points scored totals), guys. The Bears score a LOT on ST and defense. Doesn't matter, though. They all count.
