This message was edited by johnniewalker on 11-11-06 @ 5:34 PM There have been calls for anyone but Grossman from a relatively small but VERY vocal segment of Bears fans ever since he missed his first full season due to injury.  I think he's very talented, but it's unfortunate he's gotta still get his sea legs when the team can potentially roll into the big game.  The guy's only thrown something like 15-16 games at this point and this is his first full season thus far, so I think he'll get over the major mistakes eventually.  Problem is, they need to try and win big this year, so if he absolutely tanks it in NY this game, I can definitely see them putting Griese in there the next week.  But I think Rex needs to bomb like he did in Arizona for that to happen.Worst thing is that I have a meeting for work tomorrow night at 9 PM, so I'm royally pissed about that.

The trade is already huge for the Bolts but could you imagine if they had Usi?  Holy Fuck!  Then again, then SD may not have drafted the likes of Merriman or Castillo on D if they did get him to help the D.  It's all speculation but a great move to go after him at that time and an even better move to hold onto him.

Meh.  Tough 3 week roadtrip where they went 2 for 3 in NY and then only lost 13-17 to a damn good team at their home field with a 3-time Super Bowl QB.  I've seen a LOT worse.  Both teams made some big mistakes and the Pats fought for it harder.  Good for them.  And don't act like there weren't horribly made/missed calls for both teams.

Fucking Bears are amazing at creating turnovers. Every play me and my friends would yell at the Pats if the player with the ball made a second effort. "GO DOWN!!!".

Any way you cut it they are still 9-2 and lost in NE to a good team.  They are in a shit division, have easy schedule, and have more leeway than any other team in the NFC.   I still have faith in Rex to pull it all together.  Bear down chicago bears!

My favorite part of the game. Watching Tom Brady faking out
Brian Urlacher. That's got to be really hard ot live down for any
linebacker. Espeiclaly since Brady is no Vick when it comes to
running.

That's the play that pissed me off the most.  If Urlacher just did his job halfway right there it would have forced the Pats to kick with around 4-5 minutes left in the game.  And I wasn't surprised to see Brady all pumped up after that play...you will not see something like that happen too often with a guy like Urlacher.  Brady basically ducked at just the right time in front of a firing squad using massive yet oddly fast bullets.

Houshmandzadeh is making up for his 4th quarter meltdown from the last Ravens game. He is having a MONSTER game. He is catching EVERYTHING thrown at him, including a fleaflicker for a TD. Why is it called a fleaflicker? I think I used to know. Now I have to look it up...

DJEvelEd

11-30-2006, 06:25 PM

FYI: John Heisman invented the fleaflicker.His fleaflicker is single handedly responsible for getting Joe Theisman in the broadcast booth. (well... LT and a bunch of cocaine contributed too) Maybe we should rethink if the flea flicker should have ever been invented. Have you ever heard Joe Theisman announce? YEESH! Coach Heisman told a player once "You can't play today because you haven't got your grades up to par." The player looked up at him and said, 'Coach, don't you know that the sportswriters call this toe on my right foot the million-dollar toe?' Coach Heisman snapped back right quick and said, "What good is it if you only have a fifteen-cent head?" Another favorite Heisman story was the speech he used to make before a season began. Heisman would face his recruits holding a football. "What is it?" he would sharply ask. Then he would tell his players, "a football was a prolate spheroid, an elongated sphere-in which the outer leather casing is drawn up tightly over a somewhat smaller rubber tubing." Then after a long pause he would say, "better to have died as a small boy than to fumble this football."

The Bengals are 7-5, and here are our 4 remaining games -  OAKLANDat Indianapolis (Monday Night)at DenverPITTSBURGH  I think we've got to win our two home games (Oakland and Pittsburgh) and the game at Denver to get a wild card.  We already beat Kansas City this year so that would help with the tie breakers.

I think it's time for the Bears to bench Grossman. I know they are winning, but it is definitely in spite of him, rather than because of him. Brian Griese cannot play any worse than Grossman has for the last few weeks.Mojopin, your thoughts?

Believe it or not I respected it since Payton took a knee when they obviously could have scored again on four straight downs to turn the ball over after a 1st and goal.  I'm sure there are other feelings on this, but I believe it was the right move and the two of them are friends.  Believe it or not, Tuna didn't burn this bridge as Payton just left pretty much running the Cowboy offense last year.  They don't have an O cord in big D, but he was pretty much it.  So when they got the ball they did the same and ended the game that way.  They have a great chance meeting again in the playoffs too.

I'm very glad that they won and that I was wrong in my negativity.  I'm still wary about the playoffs, but that's mostly due to their quick exits in 2001 and last year.  As with tonight, I'd love to be proved wrong.Rex looked a LOT better...mixed it up much more, as he needed to.  Didn't panic, stayed in control and zeroed in on who he needed to hit.  That 2nd TD pass couldn't have been more perfect.I hope that the Bears can work something out with Briggs for next year...I had been assuming he would be gone, but if the franchise thing works out, awesome.Devin Hester...wow.  That kid is incredible.  It's electric every time he gets the ball.  Even when he doesn't score he's grabbing some serious yards.Defense was a little too porous tonight at time...allowed some huge drives for the Rams.  I think a lot of that was the loss of Tommie Harris, and hopefully they can adjust with the easy schedule they have the rest of the season.  The lack of turnovers generated by the Bears was a little unusual.Clinched the playoff bye week...GO BEARS!

That's such a crap argument.  I'm not gonna pretend that they've had the toughest schedule, but it is also football...you don't just "accidentally" end up being 11-2.  As I've shown, I'm the first to point out that this team has some serious flaws that could keep them from the Super Bowl, but they're pretty far from being a bad or even average team.  They're at least a very good team, period.  Getting as many wins as they have is tough in football, no matter what your schedule is.  You have to go on the road, deal with injuries, deal with imploding players a la Grossman...nothing is easy in this sport.Don't gripe because they showed up on a tough roadtrip and won at the Meadowlands 2 weeks in a row with an unsure quarterback.  They're the 1st team to do that in almost 10 years.  That alone right there is damn impressive.  The Seahawks are still a damn good team without Alexander, so it's not like that game was a breeze, and they came out and dominated them.  They beat the Giants on the road with an unsteady quarterback and some serious injuries...apparently the Giants can use things like that as an excuse when they lose but the Bears get zero credit when they win despite those factors.  Yeah, the game against the Jets was low-scoring, but they still won 10-0...a shutout!  On the road!  At the Meadowlands for the 2nd week in a row with the same troubled QB!  Then they barely lose by 4 to the Patriots at the tail end of that same tough roadtrip.  Do they get ANY credit from guys like you?  Or is there an excuse for every victory they've had this season?  How about last year?  How many years in a row would they need to having winning season like this before they're a "legit" team in your eyes?  Football is played game by game...anything can happen with each game.  That's one of the things that makes people have such passion over it.  Look at the dramatic upsets we just had this past weekend.  ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.  Winning 11 games out of 13 is tough to do and the mark of a good team, no matter how you try to spin it.You can't seriously think this is a bad team.  Like I've said, I myself am very worried that the Grossman situation and/or the defensive injuries might lead to a exit in the playoffs, so they're pretty fucking far from perfect, but to say that they're a bad team is absurd.

The point brought up by cj is valid in my book and it's not like the "experts" on radio and tv alike haven't brought it up over the last two seasons.  I guess most people just won't respect a team as a huge SP threat until they win some big games and or show ability in the playoffs.  Which is the reason this year is wide open in my mind with Chicago being a top team in the NFC with no recent history of big wins or playoff ability.  The Chargers, a favorite in the AFC, have Marty as a coach and we all know his playoff history.  He sits and leads and losses close but hardly ever wins in games his teams could have dominated.  I'm really concerned "Martyball" will return in full force in the playoffs.  Does anyone really fear Baltimore or the wild-card teams in the NFC?  Can NE win with this team?  Will NO be able to keep it up and win in the playoffs where they have no history and a rookie coach?  And with the run d that Indy and Cincy have, can they really make it through multiple road games (if Indy doesn't get the bye or home-field)?  Overall, it really is wide open as the league has been for the last few years now.  Personally I love it and can't wait.  My dream matchup would be SD vs. NO but of course that's a little myopic.  The only thing I know for sure is that it'll be great to watch.

His points are vaild and I've been saying them for a while now...the Bears have some issues they need to overcome before they can make it to the big game.  I'm very nervous due to their recent playoff appearances and I hope they go into it feeling they have something they need to prove.  I just didn't like the tone of the initial post as that it's reflective of how a lot of people are dismissing the Bears.  Again, no, it's not the toughest schedule...but they had the tough roadtrip and looked pretty damn good on it.  A bunch of the teams they've beaten they didn't just beat; they completely destroyed them.  Hell, even the Arizona game is something impressive...to come back from that much of a deficit and win it is something special.  To win games like they were when their quarterback in the toilet, again, shows something unique about this team.  Yes, they need to step it up in the playoffs and they could tank it yet again...but like I said, that's football.  Anything can happen in each game.<a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=NSN6LUIh3Ws" target="_blank">Now, let's just bask in the glory of how amazing Devin Hester is.</a>

If I can take over a little bit here.... The only real thing you motherfuckers have against the Bears right now is last year's playoff game, and there isn't anything we can do about it except play the schedule that is in front of us, and erase the memory of Steve Smith. There isn't anything ANYBODY can do about anything for the next 4 weeks. As the biggest Bear fan in Sunnyside, I'm glad that Rex had a great game, I'm glad that our next 3 games are against pussys, and I'm going to be really happy when I start reading about how the Bear defense remembers how it was blown out last year. It's not going to happenn again, and until the playoffs start I'm just going to watch Rex settle down, Benson get better, and wait until we've enjoyed our bye, and kick some serious ass at home in the playoffs. It's gonna happen, and all the talk from all the talking heads isn't going to change it.

CJ is a smart man. On a sadder note Lamar Hunt passed today. It seemed like everyone had a good thing to say about him, and the chiefs have been my favorite team since i was a baby. God bless.  <hr width="100%" size="2" /> DALLAS (AP) -- Lamar Hunt, the pro sports visionary who owned the <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/kan/">Kansas City Chiefs</a> and came up with the term "Super Bowl," died Wednesday night. He was 74. Hunt, the son of a famous and wealthy Texas family, died at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas of complications from prostate cancer, Chiefs spokesman Bob Moore said. <table border="0" cellpadding="1" align="left"> <tbody><tr> <td> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> Hunt battled cancer for several years and was hospitalized the day before Thanksgiving with a partially collapsed lung. Doctors discovered that the cancer had spread, and Hunt had been under heavy sedation since last week. "He was a founder. He was the energy, really, that put together half of the league, and then he was the key person in merging the two leagues together," said Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Hunt's neighbor. "You'd be hard-pressed to find anybody that's made a bigger contribution (to the NFL) than Lamar Hunt." The son of Texas oilman H.L. Hunt, Lamar Hunt grew up in Dallas and attended a private boys' prep school in Pennsylvania, serving as captain of the football team in his senior year. His love of sports led to his nickname, "Games." Hunt played football at SMU, but never rose above third string. His modest achievements on the field were dwarfed by his accomplishments as an owner and promoter of teams in professional football, basketball, baseball, tennis, soccer and bowling.

Hmmmm...2nd week in a row that the Bears' defense has not been itself.  I guess the common factor is both games have been following the departure of players and having to adjust.  I suppose they'll have to take Tank off of team suspension because today was not pretty.And Hester...silly Hester.  I wonder now that he's getting national press this is also when it gets pointed out as to why exactly he's on special teams and not more of a regular offensive role.  Well, today is why.  Both in the NFL and in college, the guy would randomly have games where he couldn't catch a goddamn thing or hold onto the ball.Rex looked awesome.  That's nice.I'm simply not going to be not worried about the playoffs.  They're gonna have to fight the whole way.

Even thought the punt was blocked, it went past the line of scrimmage. Once it does, it is no different than an unblocked punt.Essentially, that KC player who touched the ball fumbled it and it was recovered by SD.A really bizzare play. I've never seen it before.

OK, random Bears post for the day...As it's been discussed here, and I've agreed on, the Bears are pretty far from a perfect team.  They have real flaws that could sink them early in the playoffs.  That said, however, how come they get picked apart more than the other "good" teams?  Most of this criticism is directed at retarded ESPN...how come I'm not hearing any doom and gloom over the pretty good Saints getting beaten by the Redskins?  Are they really that OMG WTF awesome?  And what about when the Patriots were completely shut out by the Dolphins?  Why is it so serious when the Bears lose to Miami, or "almost" lose to the Cardinals or Rams?  Yet when the other good teams loose, with the exception of the Colts, it's just shrugged off?  Shit, I keep hearing "experts" on that godforsaken network talking like the Giants have a real shot at the Super Bowl.  What the hell?  Again, I'm not saying the Bears are some scary awesome team, but the broken record I keep hearing about how they're cruising or "barely beating" certain teams and it's showing off how average they really are is getting really tedious when teams like the Saints or the Patriots or the Cowboys lose to shitty teams and it's no big deal.

I never tagged the Saints the big team in the NFC either.  In fact, it's wide open by my account.  Yet with the NE loss to Miami can be chalked up to a division game and those almost always play close.  Especially due to the fact that some teams just have another's number.  Like the division teams vs. the Colts.  Still, I'd love to see NO make it to the Super Bowl in the NFC but it's not as big a concern to me as SD in the AFC of course.  Right now I just hold my breath every time LDT gets tackled or one of the Shawns on D go diving head first to level someone.  Here's to hoping the Bolts get to the playoffs with the team fully healthy and ready to go for their first title.  Rivers definitely looked a little off on Sunday, but he did rebound and showed a fierce competitive spirit I love and respect.

Now the good news:Chargers and Bears lead Pro Bowl squads<a href="http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6289188">http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6289188</a>9 Bolts (4 on O, 2 on D and 2 on Special Teams)  Very nice!  All sides of the ball represented for my boys and a few could have been added on D as well (Castillo, Florence and Phillips).Not bad for the Bears too Mojo.  I think getting the nod is most important, as the game is useless.  In fact, they shouldn't even play it.  Instead, it should be used as a fan forum for the league and possible skills comps with little likelyhood for injuries.

This might be the first time I've ever said that. It seems like there are a few teams they focus on and the rest can fuck themselves: the Patriots, the Giants, the Jets (to a much much lesser degree), the Cowboys, the Eagles and the Dolphins. Plus whatever team TO happens to be playing for. For some reason, they've been building up the Dolphins, until last week as a legitimate playoff contender. I couldn't believe they were serious. Now it seems like they're focusing on Jacksonville. I can't believe they're serious about that either. I know they're 8-6. But they're just not good. My team, the Bills get no attention, despite the fact that they were expected to be terrible and turned out to be as mediocre as the rest of the league is. It's a nice story for me, but they don't care. I've gotten used to it.As has been alluded to, if you don't live  in those markets, the only thing you can do to help yourself is to be successful. But there are other good quarterbacks besides Payton fucking Manning. People looking to market shit are just not that creative.

BTW...Parcells deserved to lose that game. You kick the FG there. You don't go for it on 4th and 2 against a tough division rival. Great INT by Dawkins. I fuckin hate Philly anyway. Garcia sounds like a fag. Did he come out of the closet yet?

The St. Louis Rams hold the TV TITLE if you follow the trail of the trophy through the season. Indy held it for a while as well as the Saints and even the Redskins had it for a week. The Vikings can win the championship if they beat the Rams this week.Ron & Fez used to do a bit like this and I always thought it was pretty cool treating it like a wrestling trophy. [Edited for content]

So....if....Atlanta won in 2000, does the TV Title carry over to the next year if they don't make the Playoffs or......The TV Title Team is named for a year and then a team can own 2 Titles at the same time ie. Atlanta Falcons2000Title/2001TitleWhat are the house rules?...and it's not 1994 and not 2000. Do you even know the answer?

Wow, did anyone other than Romo play in that Dallas/Detroit game?  How the hell do you lose to the Lions if you're the mighty Cowboys?  And if you are resting enough player to lose to the Lions, what the hell is your QB still doing in the game in the 4th quarter?  Wow.

Dallas looked like shit the whole game. Lions scored at will. I watched most of it. It was one of the few "meaningful" games on.

It would be just my luck to have Denver lose this game, meaning that the Bengals could've made the playoffs if they had beaten Pittsburgh today.  I've said it before and I'll say it again - I root for the most heartless, gutless team in the NFL.

But if Denver wins, the Jets are the sixth seed and play and Indy anyway.Unless Indy loses and they play at New England.Get it?
