  1. lol, yeah, hiding behind optimism, sure. yeah, it sucks, but let's not get carried away. and i never said he couldn't be bad, where in the hell did i say that? you're making [expletive] up now, i'm just not saying "um well, he could be good he could be bad he could be in the middle, eh, i don't know". i'm saying that i think he will be good, don't confuse my non-milquetoast stance with a complete and absurd optimism. Dude you are calling my points stupid because I'm arguing that the Packers game doesnt really tell us much. What other evidence do you have that he is unlikely to be bad? no, i was calling your points stupid because you'd make one and then make a disclaimer statement. yeah, we get it, hanie could be bad or he could be good. no need to say any more.

  3. and i love Jay, but he's not irreplaceable.
  4. hanie did fine in the packer game. settle down. sample size it was a pretty huge game, though. just relax, he could come out and tom brady it for all we know. plus he knows the offense and he has the same escapability as cutler. his arm is fine. Again, Hanie was the 3rd string QB going into the game and had almost no chance to enter the game. I guarantee you none of the Packers had any clue what to expect from Hanie. i thought i made my point by ignoring your insipid remark, my bad. the fact that hanie has anything that could surprise a team like the packers last year proves that he has ability. they scouted the bears offense, they scouted cutler, hanie's foot speed is about the same and his arm is weaker, yet he managed to do damage against the packers. any vanilla, generic defense that the packers threw at hanie with the amazing defensive players they had at the tops of their game should have been enough to shut him down if he wasn't able. that didn't happen. he showed poise in the pocket and he showed an arm against a bunch of incredibly fast and intelligent defensive players with nick collins directing things in the defensive backfield. he's got enough for me to give him a chance. your other points are stupid since you've strangely chosen to undermine them yourself.
  5. They will likely split with the giants, but the time they play the eagles again they will be eliminated from the playoffs, and the game will be in Dallas. Tampa Bay is decent but is one week removed from getting humiliated by the Texans at home. Miami is solid but the game is in Dallas and Dallas is still more talented. Buffalo [expletive] sucks and should not be used as a measuring stick. I see 4-2 there, which leaves us in the mercy of the tiebreaker gods, assuming we finish 3-3. tampa bay got humliated by the texans with matt schaub and arian foster? the dolphins beat the redskins worse than dallas has this year, and they'll be playing hard, as will the eagles. you think they'll just lay down because they're out of the playoffs? you think they'll just give up? dallas is a rival and the eagles are still very talented and a matchup nightmare for the cowboys. the giants are a goocd team, by no means are either of those games going to be easy.
  6. But we still have yet to see what Hanie can do when the defense isn't playing a prevent style on him. The only way the Bears could get Orton is if Denver released him right? dude, just shut up. hanie will be fine, trust me. he's going to come out, throw for 200 yards and no interceptions next week while displaying exceptional feet and a nice arm and we'll all be optimistic.
  7. hanie did fine in the packer game. settle down. sample size it was a pretty huge game, though. just relax, he could come out and tom brady it for all we know. plus he knows the offense and he has the same escapability as cutler. his arm is fine. he could also come out and be moses moreno, which is probably more likely than him being tom brady. except he's exhibited actual ability.
  8. They know modzilla is a Bears fan. not all of them
  9. your mom sucks, now get out of here you piece of [expletive]
  10. hanie did fine in the packer game. settle down. sample size it was a pretty huge game, though. just relax, he could come out and tom brady it for all we know. plus he knows the offense and he has the same escapability as cutler. his arm is fine.
  11. they play the giants twice, the eagles, who they lost badly to already, tampa bay, that played well today against the packers and could give them real trouble, miami, who has won their last 3 games and destroyed buffalo today, i mean destroyed. the only easy matchup for them is arizona. the bears have a much easier schedule
  12. no, orton would be dead in this offense.
  13. hanie did fine in the packer game. settle down.
  14. david garrard or mayne jon kitna?
  15. Sweet, he can be ready for the playoff game we don't play in. Have you seen Dallas's schedule the rest of the year? Well, Theo insists the next 3 games are actually byes so the Bears are fine. we may essentially be the tebows without the tebows.
  16. not funny, fantastic. we could get some picks picks out of him. that would be amazing.
  17. well, he did almost beat the packers in the playoffs. the guy has been under pressure before. he's mobile, he's got a decent arm and he knows the playbook. give him a shot.
  18. i just did in the other thread. although i have doubts about his ability to pick up a million page playbook in 6 days.
  19. i hate thinking about it, but is favre still in decent shape?
  20. we absolutely have to sacrifice everything for the next 6 weeks. have to. Hanie gets a one week audition. if he can't do it, get someone who can. we are past the point of no return, we can't forfeit games now.
  21. of course it can't be rodgers getting hurt, of course it can't be the luckiest team in nfl history going down, it has to be cutler. [expletive] everything
  22. how can you have surgery and not be out for the year? it's all over.
  23. the thing is, Caleb Hanie probably isn't that bad by now.
