Da Bears

[Tiduwho]

Oh man, I was at the game tonight and MAN was it awesome! My first game at the New Soldier Field, and I was RIGHT on the field. 4th row, right there, wow it was great.

Urlacher embarrasses Rivers, and wow. I'm just loving it.



Seriously guys, just stop listening to the media trying to sell you papers. Just watch Rex play. I'm TELLING you, he's something we haven't had in a decade. He can actually advance the ball, he can throw 20+ yard passes over the middle regularly, almost everything I see from him I like potential wise, but he's still raw. And that's the problem, the media just grills him as if the Bears will LOSE games because of him. And that's just crap. The offense he could finally bring will override a pick here and there. That's just my opinion I guess.

[HudmeisterDMB]

an old classic:

[Tiduwho]

So how about Sexy Rexy eh? What did I tell ya?


16 to 0 at halftime. And the Pack is VERY lucky it's that close. Lol @ sending out a kicker that's never made a field goal in his life for a 53 yarder. Way to keep the shutout in order.

[AFurth]

bear down... chicago bears :)

[Ascf33]

I feel bad for Favre

[TwoStep2888]

As a Packer fan, I'm in physical pain right now.

[Tiduwho]

Bears 26
Packers 0

Lmao.


First shutout of Favre's career. First shutout for the Packers since 1991. Beautiful. Way to start the year off right with those 2 picks Brett. Even though the Bears dropped two other ones. It's something to build on.

[saygdbye4134]

hot damn.


looked damn good.

[dmbinchicago]

As a Packer fan, I'm in physical pain right now.
This post makes me smile.
:)

[Hcdevildmb]

I couldn't believe that was the bears offense out there. An actual passing game? I don't know how to handle this.

[TwoStep2888]

This post makes me smile.
:)

:lol Man, that game hurt me. Chicago's defense is still so beautiful this year.

Lovie's a great coach (Did I spell "Lovie" right?). We're stuck with that bloated idiot McCarthy.

[saygdbye4134]

i thought the same thing.

[UCFish]

Looked good on gamecast.

[triplethreat112]

I cant even remember the last time i saw such a complete game. im talking about the offense doing just about everything right, to go along with a defense that is almost impossible to break. and it seems that the d gets even tougher inside the 20. man oh man if they can do this game in and game out, they might not lose a game all year. now, i dont see them going undefeated but there schedule this year is very very weak, and if this will be indication of what they are bringing to the table, i dont think its out of the question. Got damn i cant wait till next sunday!

and i dont care who you are...nobody could have predicted how well grossman was going to play. rexy just gained a point with me.

[bothedmbfan]

This perfromance backs up me picking Da Bears to win it all.

[Hcdevildmb]

Now that the post-game euphoria has slightly diminished, I'm beginning to realize that we will not see this week in and week out. This was a very weak Packers team, we should destroy them like this. Although I fully expect the bears to make the playoffs with a first round bye, the rest of the games will not be this one-sided....although I'm not about to complain if they are.

[BigE]

Da Bears beat GB today. Regardless of how poor GB is, the euphoria should not wear off until Tuesday. :D

[RexGrossman]

Wow, I was really feeling it today. Trust me, it will continue throughout the season. Rex Grossman has arrived.

[bothedmbfan]

Whatever you say Rex Glassman.

[RexGrossman]

This look like glass to you? (pats rocket arm).

[bothedmbfan]

No, but you always getting hurt does ;)

I hope Sexy Rexy does well this year(it sounds SO wierd having called a guy "sexy")

[Tiduwho]

No, but you always getting hurt does ;)

If it's okay for Tony Kornheiser, it's okay for me.

[bothedmbfan]

If it's okay for Tony Kornheiser, it's okay for me.

B ecause Tony K. is God.

[dmbinchicago]

If he gets us a Super Bowl in Chicago, I'll call him sexy.

[Tiduwho]

Sexy Rexy strikes again! What a bomb to Berrian. 2 TD's already. Seriously, Seattle must REALLY be feeling the effects of no Hutch, because these look like the same ole Lie-downs to me.


Bears 17
Lions 0

[bothedmbfan]

What does Seattle have to do with anything?

Anyways, what Chitown is doing to the Lions is CRIMINAL.......and I'm loving it.

[Tiduwho]

Just keep doubting Rex.


11/15 174 yds 3 TDs, and it's still the 1st half. Too bad they will pull the reins in soon, and just hand the ball to Benson.


Bears 24
Lions 0

So much for that "defensive trench game".



About Seattle, I meant how the heck could they not score more on these bums? It's the Lions of old. Nothing new here. We're in the Matt Millen era still.

[saygdbye4134]

hot damn, what a game today.


finally, we have a football team on both sides of the ball.


i love it.

[dmbinchicago]

This is awesome. First time I've been legitimately excited about a Bears season-- inlcuding postseason prospects-- in a LONG time.

:thumbsup

[TheOtherside]

Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
Make every play clear the way to victory!
Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
Put up a fight with a might so fearlessly!

We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation,
With your T formation.

Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
And let them know why you're wearing the crown.

You're the pride and joy,
of all Illinois.

Chicago Bears, Bear Down!


fucking right!

maybe cause the bears play seatle in 2 weeks after the vikings.

anybody think the bears can go into week 4 only allowing 7 points? Man what a game. How can you pay any attention to someone guarenteeing a victory in week 2. i thought it was the dumbest thing ive heard. maybe if you really had something to play for, then maybe. but not in week 2. i almost feel bad for the lions. All i know is that this train isnt stopping anytime soon!

Beaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarssssssssss sssssssssssssssss

He made it sound like Hutch went to Detroit, as opposed to the Vikings.

[Tiduwho]

He made it sound like Hutch went to Detroit, as opposed to the Vikings.

I said that Seattle must really be feeling the effects of losing Hutch. Because their line was dominated all game in week 1. Nothing to do with where Hutch went.

[bothedmbfan]

Ok, it just confused me that you kinda just randomly threw Hutch into your post.

[saygdbye4134]

damn what a game.


3-0 bitches.

[Tiduwho]

Just give me a heart attack why don't you Rex?!!


Jesus. Way to regain composure and put the game on his shoulders. Beautiful call to Rashied Davis. Man, wow. What a game.


Especially after the first 3 quarters were hardly watchable with all the damn penalties.

[UNC41]

Nice win for the Bears. Grossman suprised me with that poise at the end of the game, but the biggest suprise was the aggressivness of the Minnesota defense. The Vikings could challenge the Bears pretty close. Chicago's defense is just sick though.

[youneverno41]

yay bears!!!

[UCFish]

Good to get out with the win.

Agreed. My roommate (collinsat) is the biggest Vikes fan so as you can imagine we had some beers riding on the game. I was really impressed by the Vikes defensive line. How can a guy as Fat as Pat Williams be so quick? Not to mention that Smoot dropped INT...Eeek.


We'll see how everything goes down. But the Bears will definitely have the advantage next go around in Chicago instead of that Dome.

[saygdbye4134]

looking forward to sunday night........


damn that's gonna be a good game.

[cbotnyse]

looking forward to sunday night........


damn that's gonna be a good game.a beautiful game so far....Bears 20-3. Dominanting defense and the offense looks great as well. Super Bowl bound! :bounce :multi :bounce

[cbotnyse]

will you Chicago fans get in here....this is great.

[dmbmuskie]

Devin Hester will cost you a game before the year. He's from the Ricardo Couclough school of fielding punts.

Devin Hester will cost you a game before the year. He's from the Ricardo Couclough school of fielding punts.eh....if he's our biggest issue, I'm happy. Our defense is unstoppable and we have a real offense for the first time in years.

I'm officially jumping ship on the Lions. I may never watch another Lions game again. Go BEARS :)

[cbotnyse]

[Tiduwho]

So how are those Rex doubters feeling? :lol I stuck by him, and bought his jersey yesterday.

Let's go Bears! Who wants a nice comparison:

Bears Offense : 116 points scored
Bears Defense: 22 points given up

[bothedmbfan]

BTW, Robbie Gould is playing out of his mind right now.

[Play_Like_Fonz]

He may be in the back, but he still has a ring. :thumbsup

He does indeed, well he started on special teams and eventually started as a linebacker.

[BigE]

BTW, Robbie Gould is playing out of his mind right now.

I had to pick him up on all my FF teams. He's been money.

[bothedmbfan]

I drafted him, think Da Bears O would be absolute shit like last year, and he'd pick up a bunch of easy kicks.

I've been pleasently surprised with soemthing better.

[trippingoat]

good to see da bears on the prowl again:thumbsup

[UCFish]

Yeah that was amazing. I was in heaven for the entire game.

[dreamingtreeIU]

bears v. colts super bowl

[cbotnyse]

Last night's game was quite a statement. The Bears are now the team to beat in the NFC. What a great time to be a Bears fan.

[TheOtherside]

Does anyone else just watch in awe when the offense is on the field? I don't watch much of the NFL outside of the Bears so seeing an offense that is competent really confuses me. I had forgotten the forward pass had been invented. That pass to Berian in the second half was absolutely perfect. Oh, and the defense is pretty good too.

Super Bowl.

Super Bowl.yeah it is strange. Gone are the days of 3 and out, and 5 yard passes on 3rd and 10. The offense is clicking, and the running game even improved this week. (my biggest concern the first 3 weeks)

and yeah, that D is not bad at all. :hump

[trippinchad]

yea, as much as I hate to say it, the Bears look awesome

[pkpro1]

wow. i'd be scared to play that team.

:lol :thumbsup

Good one, I was thinking the same thing. Bears are looking great right now. But I'm just waiting for Grossman to have a couple 4 INT games...

[GinaNMU]

I'm superstitious when it comes down to sports a lot of the time, and I've worn my same Bears hoodie for the past 4 Sundays... looks like it's my new good luck charm! Can't change what I'm doing NOW!!

BEARS. GROSSMAN. POLISH SAUSAGE. BEARS.

[RexGrossman]

Man, I am just improving every week. I am beggining to think I am not human or something, either that or my father is Dan Marino and my mother was a woman with really strong arms. That's the only conclusion I can come up with.

Wow, we're going to win the Superbowl and I will be NFL MVP it looks like guys. *kisses guns*. I am going to play on my knees next week just to see if it's possible for me to be stopped, hell I might even numb my gun before the game. Too easy.

[Tiduwho]

1 (4) Bears 4-0-0 Only the most cynical of fans would complain about Chicago's pantsing of Seattle in front of the nation. There's no denying that the Bears are the best team in the NFC right now and probably in the NFL.

[TheOtherside]

5th page? the bears would not approve. anyway, good for benson and his two touchdowns but for god's sake hold on to the football!!!! even though we won by 33 points i couldn't help but be pissed off about losing the shutout.

not that pissed anymore, though. superbowl.

I don't like the Bears.

The Bears are the best team in the NFL. In fact, the way they're playing right now they need a new league to play in. As far as I'm concerned, the entire NFL is in a race for second place at this point.

Sweet win today against the Bills.

[uneverknow14]

dude i feel real sorry for the bears fans, they are going to be hard core let down when it comes time for the playoffs...look at their schedule...they play just about NO one..their hardest game so far has been the seahawks, and yes they played well, but their undefeated record so far this season means virtually nothing when you look at who they've played...and coming up...cardinals, 49ers, dolphins...geez

[UCFish]

good point however they also go on the road vs. Giants, Jets, and New England. That will be a good run.

[UCFish]

also they did beat the hell out of the defending NFC champs.

[bothedmbfan]

Vikes a a "for real" team, and the Seahawks are good too.

But look at all of the "really good" teams in the leauge right now, they've all played 1 or 2 good-decent teams, so to say it's just Da Bears taht have it easy, is silly.

[uneverknow14]

i'm not saying they're the only team who has it easy, but they do have one of the easier schedules and i think they will end up having a pretty good record but won't have what it takes to make it in the playoffs...imo

[UCFish]

You said the "hardest" game. I was just pointing out that they dominatd the NFC Champs. Otherwise known as the best team in the NFC last year. While I am not trying to get too excited what more do you want. We can't help that we play an easy schedule this year. Until the Lions and Green Bay get better or we get worse we are going to have an easy schedule for a while.

[cbotnyse]

good point however they also go on the road vs. Giants, Jets, and New England. That will be a good run.This will be a tough run. I expect to lose one of these. It is very hard to win on the road in the NFL, especially 3 in a row. But every team in the NFL has to be crapping their pants against this defense right now. Its beautiful to watch.

[bothedmbfan]

Giants are the only team of the 3 I fear....because 1 week they play great, the next they play like shit.

maybe u are 'for real', but i don't think bears have a chance for the superbowl as long as the eagles continue to do well :rolleyesWe are the best team in the NFL right now. The Eagles def scares me, they looked good today as well. McNabb always kills the Bears. Right now it looks like the NFC championship game. Eagles have the best offense in the league, and obvioulsly the Bears have the best D. Makes for a great matchup.

are you an Eagles fan?

edit: just saw you are from Philly....You have a great team and great fans. But remember, offense wins games, defense wins championships.:cool

Don't play the colts. I think the reasons the Eagles went to suck was TO being a complete ass and Donovans injury. Right now they (Eagles) are the second best team in the NFC in my opinion. Trust me I would love to see us in some competition. That is why last week was so great because it was against a real team. It is only week 5 right now so I don't want to get too excited and we all know one playoff game can fuck a great season.

Da Bears are da best team in the NFL. Without a doubt.

Here we are, the standard search to confirm a certain stereotype or bias going in.

Bears fans are all homers and so now I'm going to find a way to prove it. Okay, I'll ignore 10 people that say take it easy, there's a long way to go, and then find the first person to say something about "Super Bowl". Then I can say "SEE, I told you so. It's so easy to root against them because they are all overconfident homers."

Only pay attention to posts that confirm the stereotype, don't focus on anything to the contrary.

i would argue better, but they are a chicago team, they probably will choke or have to wait 100 years to win a tittle again. :D

I guess you missed the World Series last year. And the NBA Finals in 1992, 1993, 1994, 1997, 1998 and 1999.

[cityondown5]

not even close? really? there is no lock for the Super Bowl after week 5, but we are a lock for the playoffs thats for sure.

Now what did you have to go and jynx it for?

[saygdbye4134]

As a Chicago fan, I personally don't really grasp how good they are. It's just like yeah they're undefeated, but come on, its the Bears, we know they aren't going anywhere.


wow, move to green bay ya nazi.

[AFurth]

wow, move to green bay ya nazi.

:thumbsup

two words that can describe the 2006 chicago bears (to this point, i hope they keep their focus, stay healthy, and keep this up ::knocks on wood::)

complete domination

[marlin1805]

kicking some ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cbotnyse]

Now what did you have to go and jynx it for?have you seen the NFC central this year? Our defense could play offense and win.

[bothedmbfan]

i would argue better, but they are a chicago team, they probably will choke or have to wait 100 years to win a tittle again. :D

Al, I will kill you.

Hey buddy come on, there is a little room left on the bandwagon, jump on! Believe!


it's full now

[AFurth]

sad but true.:thumbsup

absolutely not true - the REASON they're winning is because they're the most complete team. it will be hard to find a weakness to exploit - they could cruise through at 19-0 (knocks on wood) unless somone figures out a weakness.

they do have one weakness but don't tell anyone.

if their defensive line for some reason can't get pressure any decent QB can pick apart their secondary. they get interceptions almost soley because of their d-line forcing quarterbacks to make bad throws.

that being said, there is no reason to believe the d-line won't get pressure all the time, they are that good

The Bears are averaging the most points in the NFL and are giving up the fewest. IT DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THAT. grasp it, they are that good.

well - i guess i could understand htat. but with time any decent QB can pick apart any secondary. the burden is on the pressure to make the coverage more effective.

even in a slugfest, though, don't you think our offense could keep up? most points in NFL - against seahawks (blanked Giants week before), etc.

And he was out against the Bills, so the team has shown that they dotn soley rely on one person to make the plays. **COUGHFAVRECOUGHVICKCOUGH**

[Tiduwho]

You know, Mark Anderson our rookie DE, is quietly 2nd in the league in sacks with 5.5. He's a half sack away from the league lead.

And no one has really said a word about him, Tommie Harris is the only one getting the press. Mark Anderson is slowly emerging as a DROY candidate.

key sentence there fellas.

[bustedstuff77]

I think they are taking it one game at a time and not being cocky, which is how they started to get last year. As long as they stay focused they should make it to the Super Bowl.

[cbotnyse]

I am so excited to see little Miss pretty boy Leinert run for his life all night on Monday.

Game Day!!

Game Day!!fuck yeah! I cant wait to show the nation(again) how good we are. Run for your life Leinert!!!!!

[Tiduwho]

Are you ready for some Pink Taco?

[dmbfan1027]

My prediction for tonight's game.....Bears win 41-0 and go into the bye week 6-0! :multi

[laststraw41]

Bears SHOULD kill, but you never know with Leinart... :rolleyes :haha

[UCFish]

I have watched way too much ESPN today.

[Carbon Copy]

Bear Down

[RJ2kWJ]

Where did the Bear defense go on that drive? Holy shit Matt Leinart.

No Im not talkin shit... Just trying to figure out where the conversation is. :D

[Bron Yr Aur]

What in the FUCK? Leave the guy wide open over the middle....

Seriously, Arizona's offensive line is dominating us right now, and Grossman hasn't made a good pass yet. He's playing like a moron, and he's just throwing shit up right now.

[BigE]

WTF?? Did the Bearsy suit up the local High School instead of their starters? :ugh

[Carbon Copy]

we're fine

[Bron Yr Aur]

I don't think we are. The defense is missing tackles like they usually don't, Grossman's passing is way off, and Arizona looks like they are possessed.

[Play_Like_Fonz]

what the fuck? how are we actually losing to arizona?

[Play_Like_Fonz]

another interception? honestly?

[RJ2kWJ]

another interception? honestly?

Yea this is definitely weird.

P.S. - Oakland REALLY fucked up for not taking Matt. They could really use him... badly.

[1eyed_jack]

wow, what the hell is wrong with rex? i think someone's gotten a little too cocky and careless

[dmbinchicago]

Eh, the Chiefs came back on them. And the Chiefs are terrible. It's not over.

[DrinkNoH2O]

this is a fun game to watch, I'm lovin it.

ANOTHER FUMBLE RECOVERED!!!!!

[1eyed_jack]

think grossman is throwing the game???? no one can be that bad after playing so good in the first 5 games. seriously. unless he got a concusion or something in practice this week that's the only logical assumption. cause this is pathetic

[THATEUS41]

Wuts Goin On Wit The Bears?
17-0?

Wtf

[dmbinchicago]

No, I don't.

[Heavy As Stone]

Wait through halftime... maybe they will get their heads on straight.

As much as I am excited about the Bears this season, it is exciting to see such an unexpected upset.

[1eyed_jack]

well obviously i was being sarcastic, but i don't know how a quarterback plays like this, arizona is not good, he's had chances

[RJ2kWJ]

My prediction for tonight's game.....Bears win 41-0 and go into the bye week 6-0! :multi

Well.. Hell of a prediction. I was going into it with the same type of prediction... But damn. Whats goin on here?

[1eyed_jack]

undisciplined

[1eyed_jack]

they do have one weakness but don't tell anyone.

if their defensive line for some reason can't get pressure any decent QB can pick apart their secondary. they get interceptions almost soley because of their d-line forcing quarterbacks to make bad throws.

that being said, there is no reason to believe the d-line won't get pressure all the time, they are that good



i suppose there is reason now

[JonathonFisk]

fuck yeah! I cant wait to show the nation(again) how good we are. Run for your life Leinert!!!!!


Whoops.


Boy, Leinart is really carving up this Bears Defense. What was Oakland thinking with Michael Huff??

[Bron Yr Aur]

The roughing the kicker call was the end of us. Players who make those kind of boneheaded, game-costing mistakes should be benched. We would've had another TD by now and the game would be 20-10 and we'd still have at least a chance.

We still wouldn't win, though, because Rex is playing awfully badly.

[1eyed_jack]

Touchdown

[1eyed_jack]

and when will the leinart dick sucking stop? seriously why dont they just go down on the field and kiss his ass on the sideline?

[1eyed_jack]

yep, thats our star receiver

[JonathonFisk]

yep, thats our star receiver


The Bears have a star receiver?

[JonathonFisk]

I have never seen a team play as scared as the Cardinals are playing. Most of it is their play calling, but you can see it on the players faces "Gosh I hope we dont blow this one" and when teams think/play like that they usually do.

[dmbinchicago]

The Bears have a star receiver?

Muhsin Muhammad. Two-time Pro Bowler.

[JonathonFisk]

Muhsin Muhammad. Two-time Pro Bowler.

How many star receivers can there be in the NFL?? For example, here is a quick list of receivers Id take over Mushy.

Terrell Owens
Chad Johnson
Torry Holt
Steve Smith
Marvin Harrison
Anquan Boldin
Larry Fitzgerald
Roy Williams
PLaxico Burress
Hines Ward
Andre Johnson
Darrell Jackson
Chris chambers
Randy Moss
JAvon Walker
Joey Galloway
Dieon Branch
Lee Evans
Santana Moss
L. Coles
Derrick Mason
...

[BigE]

WWWooooo HHHHHOoooooo......we have a chance....a slim chance.

[JonathonFisk]

WWWooooo HHHHHOoooooo......we have a chance....a slim chance.

At this point I'd put the Bears chances of winning this game at about 49%. Put some pressure on this AZ team and they fold like a cheap tent.

[JonathonFisk]

Cue Bears fans coming back into this thread....

[BigE]

Wow. Just wow.

[1eyed_jack]

Cue Bears fans coming back into this thread....

you know it's quite normal to be down on your team when they are playing that bad

[JonathonFisk]

you know it's quite normal to be down on your team when they are playing that bad

Well, there is down on your team and there is making the thread a ghost town until the unthinkable happens.

Now the question is, can the Bears prevent the Cards from getting 20 yards?

My guess is yes, if I had to put a percentage chance on it, I'd say 85% chance Bears win.

I would take maybe 10 of those over Muhammad, some just because they're younger.

Chris Chambers? Get a life.

[HolyCow]

I hope they don't blow it now.

[JonathonFisk]

I would take maybe 10 of those over Muhammad, some just because they're younger.

Chris Chambers? Get a life.

Chambers is at least as good as Muhammed and 6 years younger. Mushy had one big year in 2004, and as a 33 year old receiver, he wont approach anything near that ever again.

[JonathonFisk]

Neil Rackers = :goat

[HolyCow]

What a freakin win.

Wow.

[twk13]

NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER GIVE UP, oh yea

[Bron Yr Aur]

Oh my God, another miracle comeback....We are so lucky. That missed field goal, the fumbles returned for touchdowns, damn.

However, on another note, Matt Leinart is making 9 teams look really bad these days. I'd almost trade him for Grossman right now.

[JonathonFisk]

Your Arizona Cardinals, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. I have never seen a team NOT want to win more.

[dmbinchicago]

Chambers is at least as good as Muhammed and 6 years younger. Mushy had one big year in 2004, and as a 33 year old receiver, he wont approach anything near that ever again.
Who cares? The Dolphins are 1-5. Muhammad is the star receiver on a 6-0 squad.

[RJ2kWJ]

Leave it up to someone from The U to save a team yet again.

[uneverknow14]

so how many of you shit your pants tonite???

[Tiduwho]

The Bears just played the worst game I've ever seen, Grossman had 6 turnovers, SIX....and they STILL won.


Pin it all on Brian Urlacher. He TOOK OVER this game. The whole fourth quarter he was in almost every play. Batting balls, stripping balls, tackling the shit out of Edge.

Un-fucking-believable.

??? Lol, nice one. And there is a moon orbiting the Earth. Any other random notes you want to point out? All I was saying is that the Bears have no "star" receivers.

It's obvious they have the best defense in the NFL, it is also obvious that their offense is better than last year. However, this game shows that there offense is still probably just league average. I'd say right now the Bears are the best team in the NFC, but this was one the worst wins I have ever seen a team get. And I thought when Denny Green left the NFC North he'd stop helping the Bears, PAckers and Lions win games. What a terrible coach.

The guy has made the Pro Bowl twice. That makes him a star receiver.

[gorgefan29]

thats why the cardinals stink
and the bears played horrible definitely not a road team
Arizona cant finish a damn game if their lives depended on it.
just like the stl game

[meatball41]

He's going to be unreal because he can throw the bubble screen and a 6 yard slant? Gimme a break. He didn't stretch the field once all night. Why? Because he cant.

[dmbinchicago]

Thanks, hope so. :) I bet his team gets closer to the promised land than Chris Chambers' team. Or most of the other players you listed.

[TheOtherside]

6 - 0

[AFurth]

seriously hate on the bears if you want.

leinart played like a vet, made great reads and green coached his team pretty well. they came out with short drops and quick reads, got the ball to their best possession reciever (boldin) and made virtually every play they needed to (other than a missed kick). every turnover the bears got was earned - they made good plays and were rewarded for it.


also - on the bears not having what it takes to "get there"

grossman will not turn the ball over 6 times in a game for the rest of the season... maybe the rest of his career. if he can do that and we can still win, everyone else in the league is fucked.

for years.

[JonathonFisk]

Thanks, hope so. :) I bet his team gets closer to the promised land than Chris Chambers' team. Or most of the other players you listed.

??? Seriously. What are we debating here? Any teams chances of going to the Super Bowl is totally irrelevant in a conversation about the best WRs in the league. Im not even a freaking Dolphin fan! Muhammad has been to the pro-bowl once every 5 years. Is he not a star receiver when he isn't making the pro-bowl, which is 80% of the time??

Does 1 pro bowl appearance make a receiver a star, or does it have to be two?

[BigE]

if he can do that and we can still win, everyone else in the league is fucked.

First of all, nobody here is hating on the Bears. Christ, I've said they are the best team in the NFC, above. The Bears offense is still just so-so, and if you just beat a terrible team with no o-line and a rookie QB.

The "for years" comment is just laughable in the salary-cap era NFL. For cripes sakes the Saints are 5-1 this year. Teams typically go from playoffs to last place or vice versa in the span of 1-2 years nowadays.

[RJ2kWJ]

He's going to be unreal because he can throw the bubble screen and a 6 yard slant? Gimme a break. He didn't stretch the field once all night. Why? Because he cant.

Then we we're definitely watching different games. Matt defintely can, and definitely will. I have no bias because I could care less about either team or him, but he is definitely a talent and he showed it the last two games.

[JonathonFisk]

The guy has made the Pro Bowl twice. That makes him a star receiver.


I give you 34 year old, three time Pro-Bowler and current "star" receiver, Keyshawn Johnson. Is he better than Mushy??

34 year old, 4-time Pro Bowler Joe Horn??

36 year old, 3 time Pro Bowler Rod Smith??

34 year old, 4 time Pro Bowler Isaac Bruce?

These guys are not stars, and neither is Mushy. Sorry.

[Tiduwho]

Did anyone just see Dennis Green freaking the fuck out? He said "We played them in the third preseason game, and they were JUST WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE." And starts pounding his fists. "And we let them off the hook!"

meh... they just had a gameplan and executed it. we would have been right there with them if grossman hadn't seizured in the first half... then continued convulsing in the second half.

i was thinking before hester returned that punt that you go with griese on the last drive (though in my heart i wanted grossman to lead us down the field).

we gave them 2 short fields and 6 turnovers. the only reason we won is because we are far and away the better team. they outplayed us.

Yep, it truley was a sad display by the bears. Im so happy that they won, but it seems like we were back in last year, with the D making all the plays. It was a pathetic showing and they seriosuly need to improv in the areas shown tonight, and Lovie needs to think about putting in the second string who is just as good when Grossman gives up 5 interceptions before the half.

[JonathonFisk]

So does that mean he shouldn't be recognized as a star receiver?

Wait a second. Im not going to argue about Rod Smith, but a player like Smith who puts up years of very good to great numbers goes down as a "star receiver" in history, sure, but what the hell has Mushy Muhammad done? In 10 years the guy has had a whopping 3 1,000 yard seasons. Has scored more than 6 TD just twice, has caught more than 70 passes just three times. He had two above average-to-good years in 1999 and 2000, and one great year in 2004. If that is all you need to be a star in this league than just about every team has got a "star receiver"

My comment about Smith was more to point out that past pro-bowl appearances doesnt mean squat this year. Smith has had a terrific career, along the lines of Andre Reed I'd say. Mushy has had a career along the lines of Rickey Proehl.

Oh and Moose is a star receiver. That is all.

[mizzoudmbfan]

Isaac Bruce is a saint!

[AFurth]

no one cares if you have star recievers. u just need solid ones. who catch the ball. berrian is a deep threat, moose is a solid reciever and rasheed davis adds that x-factor though he isn't awesome. not to mention the fact that the TEs are stepping up. grossman has targets, time, and a running game. he'll be better.

and the D is out of this world good.

and we're becoming winners.

things are looking up.

[DMBZeppelin]

Is everyone forgetting the Bears have a Pro Bowl talented reciever in Mark Bradley? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJYRPR1QJmo part pre-season and part regular season. Still it's his 05' highlights. He has the best combo of size and speed out of the Bears recievers. He can do a lot. Trust me if he can get back to 100% he'll be a star. The Bears are taking it slow bringing him back though. Which is the right thing to do. With the emergance of Berrian it allows them to do that.

[trippingoat]

that was unbearlieavable!

[Tiduwho]

The Bears played their D game, the Cardinals played their A game....and the Bears still won. They played about as bad as they possibly could, and still won.

And that's supposed to count for nothing? I don't get it...

[dmbinchicago]

Wow, didn't realize there were Muhsin Muhammad haters out there :lol

[saygdbye4134]

my hats off the cardinals, bolen and leinart.

but damn, what a fucking game. 6-0 is 6-0, no matter who you look at it.

[TheOtherside]

God damn tribune needs to extend their sports deadline on nights like that. Every single article read like the bears lost, they just tacked on a last minute paragraph and a positive headline. Pretty funny actually.

[JonathonFisk]

Wow, didn't realize there were Muhsin Muhammad haters out there :lol

Whose hating on Mushy? Not me. All I am saying is that if Mushy is a "star" receiver than there are about 30 star receivers in the NFL right now, because there are about 30 guys I'd rather have.

[cbotnyse]

First off, my hats off to Leinert. I hate the guy but he played well and didnt back down against the hyped up Bears defense. That game was a nightmare. I saw it happen but I still cant believe we won.

I hope its a huge wake up call for Rex. I really didnt like how cocky he was becoming. take a week off and get your head straight.

I was celebrating like we won the Super Bowl last night at the bar. its only week 6! its gonna be a fun ride.

RACKERS:lol

that was different dude, no? or did he have two different helmets? i liked it.

[trippingoat]

i think at the beginning he had the simple old-school helmet. but when he failed his last field goal i think he had on a more safer uptodate helmet

I think that was their other kicker Scott Player. He was the guy with one bar on his helmet, and that one bar was bent downward so it was it even covering his face at all. I didn't really understand the point of that.

No, that was the punter. Rackers has only played a season or two, new players are not allowed to wear the one-bar helmets. They let kickers and punters that have had them for 10+ years continue to wear them.

Wow great game last night. I must say this was the worst loss i have ever seen

[rconverse]

Unbelievable.

I thought that Favre game against the Rams last week was bad. Leads them down the field for a sure tie and great chance at another Favre late game winning touchdown...and then a fumble? What? How?


But yeah, this was even worse heartbreak for a team. The difference is just that Leinart is young and can deal with it. Favre looked on in disbelief like he was going to go hang himself in the locker room and cry.

Well if he needs tips on how to kill him self he can just call TO

[jrh83]

The worst part about it was that Leinart out the game in the kickers hands and he fucked it all up

I was very impressed with Leinart - especially it being his first primetime Monday night game. :thumbsup

yeah he played alright, that fumble was huge though, you got to take care of the ball better than that on your side of the field
