    You'd think the Bears just lost the Super Bowl or something. The uncalled for sarcasm aside, being a fan doesn't give you the right to flat out make ridiculous excuses and badmouth the other team. The AFC has been dominant all season and I don't know why many of you are so surprised. Nothing happened in this game that hasn't happened all year long, for either team. Edit: What is your deal anyway TT? I can count on one hand the seconds it takes you to reply with condescension to whatever it is I may post. Is this all about sabrmetrics? *hug* It happens when your team has just lost the championship - a game they certainly could have won.
  2. CaliforniaRaisin
    Not too surprising though.

    Just wondering, the only place I've heard about it is here, why all the sudden talk of Lovie leaving? I know he wants a new contract, but he's still got a year left, right? There were rumors the Cowboys were interested. He does have one year left.

    I feel much worse for Mike Brown.

    I was 3 at the Super Bowl, so I'm not as lucky as you. At least I'll always have MJ and the Bulls...hopefully I'll see another team I root for win. But now that I've seen 3 of my teams come close and lose, I guess it's not going to be too likely. I was only 9, but my dad purchased a tape of the highlights of that year and I appreciate them more now than I did back then. I was 8-10 and 13-15 during the repeat three peats, thank goodness for the DVDs and videos because I really didn't appreciate the first three as much as I should have.

    Ok. I laughed..

    You think the Cubs are going to help your sorrows? I was excited for baseball up until tonight, now I don't even care. Exactly.

    I'd be satisfied with Benson as the full time RB. Having both is nice, but losing Jones would hardly be devastating. There are bigger fish to fry. As long as there's a solid #2 option to get some carries or a third down back (and Benson is ok - I hope he didn't have a lasting injury today). I really think AP could be that guy. Him and Benson are too similar, IMO. They seem to like the concept of a change of pace back, they'll just switch from finesse to power to power to finesse. I like AP a lot but this is the reason why you need a different guy.

Jones will be paid as a feature back for some other team's offense, I assume. I would go with Irons in the 2nd rd. if he's there. I'd love Irons too - not big enough/durable enough to be an everydown player and he should be there in the 2nd. Of couse they have bigger fish to fry with a second round pick.

    And UCLA last April. Dammit, I hate sports.

    They should put the franchise tag on Briggs, but I dont see that happening. I believe Ed Reed is going to be a FA at safety. The Bears need a safety, IMO. They're going to have to draft a line backer, a HB, possibly even a tight end, and a OL in the draft. Adding Ed Reed would make the defense filthy. I didn't think Reed was an FA. Asante Samuel is though, I wouldn't mind adding him and shifting Tillman. I don't see Asante keeping up his play going forward, I'd rather keep Tillman at corner.

    Turner, Rivera, Benson's injury, the offensive line, Grossman, the whole bloody defense. I find it hard to fault the defense too much considering they spent the whole game on the field. The defensive play calling was too soft, but they were doing a good job of keeping Manning & Co. in check (outside of Harris' brain fart) until they just go tired. That trend can be traced back into the regular season as well. I agree, but the frount four and the safeties (not shocking about the safeties) didn't play that great. I'll assume the missed tackles were due to the poor field conditions/tired defense, but still, it wasn't pretty.

    Most of the media and Bears fans are morons, so I doubt they'll look at it objectively. He had a bad game, he's had several of them and several great games, enough glimpses of great games to merit seeing what he can do with more experience. He played terribly in the Super Bowl after whining about being criticized. Believe this like you believe in life itself: Rex is about to be crucified to all hell. He stood up and took the criticism all freaking year, I don't think too many people in the world could go as long he did without snapping.

    Oh, they'll crucify him and run him out of town.

    Where was the holding call the half dozen other times they did it?
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    D. Manning needs to do a hell of a lot this offseason to become passable at safety.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    C'mon Clark.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Out of bounds, TJ. Out of bounds.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Suddenly they involve the TE.
