Da Bears

[gocubsgo3822]

Davis dropping the big one hurt

Sick of people dropping passes.

agreed....

[UCFish]

St. Clair sucks.

[Tiduwho]

Fuck Ron Turner. And our receivers. Embarassing.

[devilandthelord]

BTW how good is forte

Really, really good.

I was listening to some guys talk about him on the radio this morning.

And not only does he now have more rushing yards than any other rookie (Chris Johnson's 125 against the lions put him at 958, and Forte's 60+ so far tonight put him over 970), he also has the most receptions on the Bears.
I didn't know anything about him in college, but apparently he had this insane workload back then too.
Add that to college all-star games and such to impress the scouts, and the NFL combine and so forth, he basically hasn't had a break of any kind in like 2 years.

And he's a fucking horse. There is nothing the Bears are uncomfortable doing with him and they shouldn't be.
Stud.

[UCFish]

Sweet.

[UCFish]

Thank god

[gocubsgo3822]

Formuttherfuckingte!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now give me dat ball back!!!!!!!!

i didnt know anything about him in college and i watch cCFB seriously but wow.. After Salaam, Enis, Benson etc... this is a sigh of relief they had a graphic up that he is leading the league in touches as a ookie for the first time since LT...

[BustedStuff87]

Forgot about Anthony Thomas

[gocubsgo3822]

A train had one solid year but yea he was a bust too.... jeeeeeezus

[gocubsgo3822]

Quick poll

who was the worst????

Enis?
Salaam?
Benson?
A-Train?

I gotta go with Benson

[1eyed_jack]

and james allen.

...and lets not leave out the "ultra-back" haha

[crashintonickdm]

nice pick. back in the game.

[BustedStuff87]

A train had one solid year but yea he was a bust too.... jeeeeeezus

I know. I had his and David Terrell's autograph before they even started that 2001 season.

[1eyed_jack]

Quick poll

who was the worst????

Enis?
Salaam?
Benson?
A-Train?

I gotta go with Benson


enis. i actually liked salaam and thomas

[devilandthelord]

Quick poll

who was the worst????

Enis?
Salaam?
Benson?
A-Train?

I gotta go with Benson

That's tough.
I've gotta go with Salaam because he was so hyped in college. Heisman trophy winner, right?

A side note though, my best friend from high school lived in and his parents still live in Curtis Enis's old house from when he played for the Bears. He used to get fan mail from kids addressed to Enis (yeah I know fan mail for him?) LOL True story though.

[gocubsgo3822]

I know. I had his and David Terrell's autograph before they even started that 2001 season.

i was never high on either of those clowns.. i saw northwestern and damien andersen beat them at rya field when they had them + drew henson (before baseball) and the rest of what is the university formerlyknown as michigan...

one of the best football games i have ever been too

[BustedStuff87]

and james allen.

...and lets not leave out the "ultra-back" haha

I liked James Allen just cause he was that guy you wanted to do good but wasn't that good at all.

[gocubsgo3822]

Rashaan definitely won a heisman... i think enis might have also or he was close...

[1eyed_jack]

I liked James Allen just cause he was that guy you wanted to do good but wasn't that good at all.

you remember the 2001 game where he caught a tipped hail mary? i think it was to force overtime

[BustedStuff87]

Ever since Terrell kicked the ball into the stands during a pre-season game after he scored a TD, i thought he was a joke.

[BustedStuff87]

you remember the 2001 game where he caught a tipped hail mary? i think it was to force overtime

I was there. Shane Matthews came in and launched that shit.

[1eyed_jack]

we still have autry and forsey we can talk about :lol

[BustedStuff87]

we still have autry and forsey we can talk about :lol

Yeah. Brock Forsey. Had his only 100 yard rushing game against, the then horrible, Arizona Cardinals.

[devilandthelord]

Intercepciones!

[1eyed_jack]

I was there. Shane Matthews came in and launched that shit.


that's awesome! is that the mike brown game winning interception return game too, or was that different?

[gocubsgo3822]

fuck :( god damn it neck beard

[BustedStuff87]

that's awesome! is that the mike brown game winning interception return game too, or was that different?

I think so. Because the week before was the game against the 49ers and he did the same exact thing where I was there too.

[devilandthelord]

We could literally discuss for days all the bust or failure of RBs, QBs, and WRs from the last 20 years or so.
Its not even funny.
Its like the Bears are destined never to have a great offense.

[1eyed_jack]

no kidding, jim miller was alright and then a cheap shot takes him out of the playoff game against the eagles.

the beard should find ki-jana carter and akili smith :lol

[gocubsgo3822]

busts everywhere on the offense.... I dont remember ever having a QB.. i am 23 so i dont remember drunk ass mcmahon (he went to BYU and they kicked him out before he could graduate becuase they had enough)

[devilandthelord]

Yeah my boss and I were talking about that the other day.
That Jim McMahon was literally the last time the Bears had a good QB that stuck for a while.

[gocubsgo3822]

fucking Jim McMahon i was at all star festivities at the cell in 03 and he wa playing in the softball game thing and he was drunk as fuck running the bases while drinking bear

[Tiduwho]

Orton's been awful tonight.

[gocubsgo3822]

really throat beard????????? FUCK... we hav a hard 4 games ahead

[gocubsgo3822]

our defense looks mildly old to me... if not old but slow...

[BustedStuff87]

We have 12 men on Defense and we still can't stop the run.

[gocubsgo3822]

:lol :lol :lol i was in the process of posting that :lol :lol :lol

[BustedStuff87]

Is lloyd and booker hurt?

[gocubsgo3822]

lloyd had a monster catch earlier havent seen much of him since

[BustedStuff87]

We should just stick Lloyd and Booker at WR. Put Hester on the bench. And actually have some WR that know how to run routes play. This is ridiculous watching Davis and Hester bounce balls off their hands.

[gocubsgo3822]

yea most likely..... is that the 4th orton pick????

[BustedStuff87]

WOW! FUCKING ORTON! Where the hell is he throwing it???? Stop taking lessons from REX FOOTBALL ACADEMY and throw to the white jerseys.

[gocubsgo3822]

well at this point it is time to watch the pickup artist..

[Nick@Night]

I don't understand Childress, he doesn't use AP when you'd like him to, but he's still got him in the game here when he was limping around before.

[BustedStuff87]

well at this point it is time to watch the pickup artist..

O man. I missed Charm School.:evil

[BustedStuff87]

Geez those cheerleaders shorts are gettin shorter and shorter every time they show them

[gocubsgo3822]

O man. I missed Charm School.:evil

and i think my dad fucked up my recording... what a fucking asshole

[BustedStuff87]

and i think my dad fucked up my recording... what a fucking asshole

:lol

p.s. I can't believe the Vikings are in 1st place.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

fuck this game

[Nick@Night]

:lorraine

[BustedStuff87]

So how can we salvage a good draft pick to get that WR from Texas Tech?

[UCFish]

Boo...

[gocubsgo3822]

So how can we salvage a good draft pick to get that WR from Texas Tech?

he left on a cart on saturday

[BustedStuff87]

he left on a cart on saturday

Well more like 1 in a million.


So your saying there's a chance?

[gocubsgo3822]

yea if he has a leg :lol :lol

[gocubsgo3822]

well fuck....

[Bron Yr Aur]

and i think my dad fucked up my recording... what a fucking asshole

Good. By watching that shit you are encouraging the dumbing down of America. Turn on the Discovery Channel or National Geographic or something....

[gocubsgo3822]

^blow me... that show is amazing i watch it with college syudent who are smartening up america not dumbing it down

[wxdudes]

Entertaining game. But we'll thrash you at our place on a sunday night. See ya then.

who wants to talk smack?

[DMBZeppelin]

A train had one solid year but yea he was a bust too.... jeeeeeezus
A-Train was all right, but after his rookie year. The Bears decided they needed to make him better. They spent the offseason making him gain weight, and trying to change certain aspects to his game. He was never the same. Dick Jauron and John Schoop for ya.
you remember the 2001 game where he caught a tipped hail mary? i think it was to force overtime
Ya we were losing 21-7 with :32 seconds left in the 4th quarter, was an awesome game.
that's awesome! is that the mike brown game winning interception return game too, or was that different?
yep he did it in back to back games. Against the 49ers and then that game against the Browns.
So how can we salvage a good draft pick to get that WR from Texas Tech?
Losing out.

[DMBZeppelin]

Looking we currently have the 15th pick (6-6). If and only if we lose out, we might be able to sneak into the top 10.

We play Jacksonville (4-7), Saints (6-6), Green Bay (5-7), and Houston (4-7). So everytime we lose to them, we could literally be moving up at least one draft choice.

[darbini]

Put Grossman back in as the starter, Kyle Orton sucks

[1eyed_jack]

Put Grossman back in as the starter, Kyle Orton sucks

yeah orton isn't great, but he did have a couple big drops

[darbini]

yeah orton isn't great, but he did have a couple big drops

Yeah, and he also should've had 5 interceptions instead of the 3. I know it's frowned upon to do but I don't care, if you take away Hester's 65yd TD then Orton is 10/28 for 88 yds 1TD and 3INT...fucking pathetic he is.

[JTRocks]

Yeah, and he also should've had 5 interceptions instead of the 3. I know it's frowned upon to do but I don't care, if you take away Hester's 65yd TD then Orton is 10/28 for 88 yds 1TD and 3INT...fucking pathetic he is.

yeah but if you're gonna do that, you could also say that a couple of those INTs that were tipped and fell into the minnesota's hands werent really his fault then either. The bottom line is this, the bears looked like shit yesterday and if they made the playoffs, they wouldnt really deserve to be there and would probly get their asses kicked. When they bring up the graphic for NFC playoff picture they show 10 teams (6 that are in and 4 bubbles teams) and the bears are easily the worst out of all those 10 teams.

this season is panning out exactly like i thought it would, we hang around for most of the season, but in the back of everyones mind they this team isnt a true contender, and then we end up with another mid-first-round draft pick for jerry angelo to fuck up.

see everyone in march when we're all talking about what unlucky college player we should draft out of college, who's talent will be wasted by this shitty organization, and will eventually fade into nfl obscurity in 5 years and never be heard from again.

[darbini]

quite the optimist huh :)

[funksoul]

I honestly can see us go 3-1 and the Vikings go 2-2 and wind up in a tie with them...still probably not good enough though. The Bears will have to beat GB to have any chance at a tiebreaker assuming the Vikes beat the Lions. Next tiebreaker would be record against common opponents. Bears have one up right now in Indy...but Min has beat NO, Jax, and Houston already. In other words we basically need to win out and have the Vikes go 2-2 to have any realisitc shot here. UNLESS...the ol' Lions grab win #1 this week. Then we would have the first tiebreaker if we beat the Pack.

[darbini]

We should just start Rex and go win the damn Super Bowl

[DMBZeppelin]

We should just start Rex and go win the damn Super Bowl

You know I'm a Rex guy, and I believe in his talent. Thing is I don't think we'd be any better with him. We have a so-so O-line, and crap receivers. I could go on a Ortom rant, but he's yet to show me he's better then 06-07 Orton.

[darbini]

I think Rex has done his time, give him another chance. Oh well, we'll see.

[BustedStuff87]

who wants to talk smack?

Good one.

[devilandthelord]

So that Rashiedi Davis guy sure sucks.

Has he been hanging out with Braylon Edwards lately?

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Well........hope today doesn't suck

[Tiduwho]

Bearss.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

w00t

[Sou1 So1di3r]

That is our ball

[BotheDMBFan]

LOL our bawlz.

[highlander4]

[Sou1 So1di3r]

yes. early lead

[highlander4]

yes. early lead

Early leads make me feel good....

[highlander4]

Hopefully we can build on the lead and get some pressure on the QB today.... WE NEED TURNOVERS!!!!!!!!!!

[BotheDMBFan]

WHAT THE FUCK?

Play the game right you assholes.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Damn can we please stop their running game?

[highlander4]

Why can't our D stop them right now?????

[BotheDMBFan]

Ok, let's get a stop here.

[BotheDMBFan]

Good stop, good stop.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

thank you

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Comon lions

[highlander4]

I would like along methodical drive down the field right now....

[highlander4]

Or a fast score would work as well...

Man I LOVE Forte!

[Sou1 So1di3r]

nice!

[BustedStuff87]

Justtttttttt a bit outside.

[BustedStuff87]

Yes marty booker! A wr is on the field!

[BotheDMBFan]

We need to get 6 out of this.

[BotheDMBFan]

If Orton was a man, he would ran for the TD.

[BustedStuff87]

If Orton was a man, he would ran for the TD.

Remember the last time he ran? :(

[BotheDMBFan]

Goddamn you Roberto Garza.

[BustedStuff87]

As good as gould.

[highlander4]

At least they did not run the FB up the middle.... :lol

[BotheDMBFan]

SCORE HERE PLZ.

kthnxbai

[BotheDMBFan]

Damn it Forte, that could have been 6.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Damn

[Sou1 So1di3r]

comon hester

[BotheDMBFan]

I thought he had it. Fuck.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

oh well... minnestoa just turned it over!

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Green Bay and Minnesota are losing. Could this be any more perfect?

[BustedStuff87]

Catch the fucking ball davis!

[Sou1 So1di3r]

comon!!!!!!! LETS DO THSI!

[BustedStuff87]

Nice throw, nice catch.

[BustedStuff87]

I like these announcers much better than fox.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

going to half up by 17 would be amazing

[Sou1 So1di3r]

CBS HD also looks MUCH better than FOX HD

[BustedStuff87]

CBS HD also looks MUCH better than FOX HD

I wish i had HD. But this picture is much better

[BotheDMBFan]

I hate watching on CBS. The camera view looks so plain. The announcers are more knowledgable, they're just so goddamn boring.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

I wish i had HD. But this picture is much better

Free over the air HD kicks ass for college situations

[BustedStuff87]

nice play by that LB

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Comon bears seriously...

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BustedStuff87]

Wow!

[BotheDMBFan]

GREAT PLAY BY OLSEN! TD!

That was SWEET!

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Touchdown!!!!

[BustedStuff87]

What a catch and what a reach. NICE THROW

[BotheDMBFan]

They may take it back...then it's FB Dive time.

[BustedStuff87]

He's got it

[Sou1 So1di3r]

This better not be overturned.

[BustedStuff87]

They may take it back...then it's FB Dive time.

:lorraine please don't

[BotheDMBFan]

Ironically, this is the only situation where a FB dive would be perfectly effective.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Yes!

[BotheDMBFan]

Fucking sweet.

[BustedStuff87]

Yes!

[Sou1 So1di3r]

time to get food.!

[BustedStuff87]

This game's making it hard for me to study for finals

[BotheDMBFan]

And we get the ball at half time. God bless America.

[highlander4]

And we get the ball at half time. God bless America.


We need this... Go Lions and go Texans.......

[Bron Yr Aur]

Thankfully Orton has made a nice comeback after last week's game. He's lookin' good today. Not perfect, but he's made some damn nice throws down field.

[BotheDMBFan]

that pass to Olsen for the TD before the half was BEAUTIFUL.

[BotheDMBFan]

Son of a bastard.

[BustedStuff87]

Hey. Detroit just scored. Culpepper to Johnson TD!

[BotheDMBFan]

Dude, that makes it all worth it.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Lions went deep!

[Tiduwho]

Go Lions!!

[lockman21]

I know it's hard to complain when we're up 20-3, but damn do the Bears suck at making tackles this year.

[UCFish]

Damn the lions

[UCFish]

Have we stopped trying to get first downs?

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Da hell is going on here?

[Sou1 So1di3r]

you kidding me? What the HELL is going on here?!

[Sou1 So1di3r]

God DAMNIT

[lockman21]

Have we stopped trying to get first downs?

Yes. Haven't you learned the Bears game plan by now? Make plays in the first half, get the lead, and try and coast the entire second half.

i.e. Carolina, Tampa Bay, Atlanta...

Sound familiar?

[UCFish]

Damn looks like the Lions are not going to get it done.

[BotheDMBFan]

Atlanta we didn't really make a lot of plays though. We just fluked our way to almost winning.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Damn looks like the Lions are not going to get it done.

Not over yet...

[BotheDMBFan]

Green Bay might pull it off though.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Damn looks like the Lions are not going to get it done.

ok yeah they suck

[UCFish]

Now it is.

[BotheDMBFan]

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck/

[Tiduwho]

Damn Lions. They BETTER fucking go 0 - 16 now. What a joke.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

fuck shit.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

wow u kidding me GODDDDDD

[Sou1 So1di3r]

packers lose

[Sou1 So1di3r]

bears win

[DMBZeppelin]

I know we won, but what a piss poor second half. We should have won by more then 23-10. The Jags may be worse then the Rams. Look at what the Texans did to them on MNF. You know players always show up for national games. The Jags are just a defeated team, and they look like they don't want to play anymore. You should always blow those teams out, especially when the other team is playing for something.

I look forward to seeing how the Bears handle the Saints on Thursday. The Saints are a HORRIBLE road team. So it should be an easy game. Thing is, if the defense that made every QB look like a Pro Bowler shows up... it could get ugly.

[Tiduwho]

This really blows that I can't even watch the Bears game, NFL Network fucking stupid.


And on My50 locally? WTF???? Why can't it be one NBC/CBS/ABC/FOX or almost any other Illinois channel that I do get here. Instead, My 50? WTF. That pisses me off.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

What is my50? I doubt I get that here. I think the rec center has NFL Network so I'll be there to watch it.

[DMBZeppelin]

What is my50? I doubt I get that here. I think the rec center has NFL Network so I'll be there to watch it.
Used to be UPN or w/e it was called that had shows like Moesha and what not.

[Tiduwho]

What is my50? I doubt I get that here. I think the rec center has NFL Network so I'll be there to watch it.

One of those WB channels or whatever they're calling that network these days. One Tree Hill, Gilmore Girls, those channels.


I have My24 or whatever the Wisconsin equivalent is. No Illinois version here though. Bastards. Watching the live stream on NFL.com sucks ass, they show maybe an 8th of the game. The rest is these tools just talking in the studio.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

I get UPN here... I wonder if that would work

[gocubsgo3822]

i wanted the lions to actually win today.. Good game... I am a big fan of Greg Olson. He has made such a big jump this year... he is going to be so good

[lockman21]

NFL Network sucks so bad. I don't have it at my apt., but my dad has it at home.

Here's the catch though, NFL Network blacks out all the games from him since his cable provider doesn't want to pay the fees to have the games that NFL Network carries. :BANG

[lockman21]

i wanted the lions to actually win today.. Good game... I am a big fan of Greg Olson. He has made such a big jump this year... he is going to be so good

Yeah, he's going to be great. :thumbsup

What game was it that he fumbled twice?

[DMBZeppelin]

i wanted the lions to actually win today.. Good game... I am a big fan of Greg Olson. He has made such a big jump this year... he is going to be so good
He needs to learn to be a better blocker. As it stands he's pretty much just a nice complimentary receiver.

[lockman21]

He needs to learn to be a better blocker. As it stands he's pretty much just a nice complimentary receiver.

I pretty good one. I feel like they're transitioning him to the TE position slowly as Desmond gets older.

[DMBZeppelin]

I pretty good one. I feel like they're transitioning him to the TE position slowly as Desmond gets older.
When Clark leaves, Olsen and Davis will make like the sickest tight end combo. Both are atheltic, fast, and good receivers. Except Davis is the size of an offensive linemen. Hopefully that translates to blocking.

I still can't believe he's got that speed with his size. Not to mention that sick one handed grab in the pre-season for the touchdown, I'll always remember it.

[DMBZeppelin]

If we lose out, we might have a shot at a Top 10 pick. We'll be a Top 15 for sure. If we could get into the Top 10, we might be able to move up and get a guy like Crabtree. We need a real wide receiver, to me that's more important then losing in the first round of the playoffs.

No. We won't. Zero chance, not even worth talking about a silver lining if we DID lose out. Because that's not happening. Crabtree will be long gone before our actual pick.


Mid-First round is all crapshoot. I'll take a first round loss in the playoffs and the #22 pick, over a bad record and #11 any year.

[DMBZeppelin]

If we get a Top 10, we could trade up. We're not going to go from #22 to say #4. All in all it depends who will be where, and who comes out that determines where Crabtree goes.

I really think sucking for a year or two, and getting some franchise players could change this team quickly. The one and ONLY reason we're even in the playoff hunt is because we had an easy schedule, and the Vikings and Pack didn't live up to expectations. It won't be the worst thing in the world if we make the playoffs, but winning will just make everyone look better.

Why fire Babich he got us to the playoffs? Ect, ect. Losing brings about change, and in our case I think it's needed.

[MPizzle06]

Good W yesterday :thumbsup

I think Crabtree is staying for his Junior year as of last Friday.

[funksoul]

I think Crabtree is staying for his Junior year as of last Friday.

Yeah...he's already announced that he's coming back to school.

[BotheDMBFan]

God damn it...WHY CAN'T WE JUST LOSE? I DON'T WANT TO GET BUTTFUCKED IN THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR, IF WE EVEN GET THERE!

[DMBZeppelin]

Yeah...he's already announced that he's coming back to school.
Ah ok, I did not know that.

[DMBZeppelin]

God damn it...WHY CAN'T WE JUST LOSE? I DON'T WANT TO GET BUTTFUCKED IN THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR, IF WE EVEN GET THERE!
Because the Jags might possibly suck more then the Rams.

Doesn't matter, we coulda put Hanie in there, and AP Lite, and all that other shit. WHY? WHY? WWHYYYY??~!

I don't see how we've had an easy schedule....? I mean, yeah, we play the Lions twice, and then the Jags and Rams. That's four out of 16. And we've played Indy, Tennessee, Carolina, Atlanta, Tampa, Philly, and Minnesota....those are all good to VERY good teams. I mean, the schedule lately has been favorable and the teams we're playing are pretty mediocre in the second half...but that's because we played an extremely tough schedule at the start of the season. I'm not saying it's an incredibly tough schedule, it's pretty average I would say. But not "easy." But maybe I'm wrong.

And bo, we aren't getting to the playoffs....we'd have to win out. Unlikely with the Packers, Titans, and New Orleans coming up. These are pretty mediocre teams, but lately we can't beat anybody that is even halfway decent.

We really should be in the driver's seat in the division right now if it weren't for those three blown games against Carolina, Atlanta, and Tampa. Holding on to leads in just two of those games would put us in great position.

We already played the Titans, I think you mean the Texans.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

I think we have a good chance on Thursday.

[DMBZeppelin]

Happy Birthday Matt Forte! He's 23.

He did an interview on Mike & Mike. They talked about how he broke Gale Sayers rookie record for yards from scrimmage. Apparently Forte is 2nd among all backs (not just rookies) in yards from scrimmage, only behind Adrian Peterson.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

NFL Thursday!

[DMBZeppelin]

Since 2004 (when Lovie took over) we're 28-4 when scoring 21. We're 14-25 when not scoring 21. I hope I remembered that right, but it was on the Score. They were saying with the Saints being a good offense, we need to score.

[devilandthelord]

Well the Saints don't have much of a defense either, so it could be pretty high scoring as long as the conditions are decent.
I don't think the cold will bother Brees and company, but if it snows or the wind is really nasty it certainly will.
If conditions are bad, the edge definitely goes to the Bears.
However its been a pretty mild day so far in the city. Not even that cold as compared to previous days, and no snow as of yet.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

lets do this.


to watch the office or not. It's tearing me apart.

[DMBZeppelin]

Scary note. Laurence Holmes on the Score thinks very highly of the Suntimes Brad Biggs. Said he's a great writer, does his homework, and knows the Bears. Well apparently Biggs was on the Score earlier today talking on another show.

He's around the Bears alot, and said that the vibe in the locker room for this game. Was very similar to the vibe in the locker room before the Green Bay game. That's not a good vibe at all.

[DMBZeppelin]

Nice kick return by D-Manning. He almost had one during his first return when they benched Hester. He's very explosive. Glad we finally got someone back there who's a threat.

[gocubsgo3822]

Awesome way to start. A little upset with the d. Come on D

[DMBZeppelin]

Finally we get some pressure on the QB, against a good team!

[DMBZeppelin]

DAMNIT! Frickin' Grahm.

[DMBZeppelin]

Mike Brown!!!!

[devilandthelord]

Bet you never thought you'd say that a year ago.

[devilandthelord]

Mike Brown!!!!

Damnit!
(Says a guy who started Brees in a ff league this week)

[DMBZeppelin]

Wow Matt Forte has a higher percentage of our offensive production then any other RB in the league.

[DMBZeppelin]

Bet you never thought you'd say that a year ago.
Well obviously.

[DMBZeppelin]

Damnit Hester! Seriously just run straight and get us 10 or so yards. Quit trying to hit a homerun everytime you're back there. That's not the nature of the return game. Seriously either make him a full time returner, or not at all. This receiving/return shit has to stop. I think they limit him from reaching his full ability at both.

[devilandthelord]

I mean, he's very stupid.
Its probably all in his head now that he has to house one because Manning did.

[Bron Yr Aur]

No NFL network for me....so weak.

Why do we only throw 5 yard passes? Seriously. Orton is capable of much more. We should be trying to jack up the lead early...not sitting on 7 pts.

And what happened to Forte?

We've only completed 5 yard passes. Orton over threw a wide open Hester earlier in the game. I was actually surprised to see Hester lay out for it trying to get it.

[gocubsgo3822]

Good first half :) hester needs to stop running backwards. Me loves 24 oz bud lights for 2$

[Tiduwho]

Let's hope this 4th down holds.....Brees is trying to be an NFL quarterback again.

[Tiduwho]

Short. Nice. They're goin for it. STOP THEM!!!

[DMBZeppelin]

Let's hope this 4th down holds.....Brees is trying to be an NFL quarterback again.
:lol

[Tiduwho]

Yeah baby!!! Ogunleye just Jason Taylor'd the shit out of Brees!


Beautiful!!

[DMBZeppelin]

WOW! What a sick pick by Oguleye. Though all in all just a DUMB DUMB DUMB throw by Brees. Thank goodness I was worried things would get ugly.

[Tiduwho]

Brees really Rex'd it up right there........

[Tiduwho]

I mean really, Pierre Thomas again. What a joke, this guy is a BUM and has killed us two years in a row now.

[DMBZeppelin]

He looks down by contact to me.

[Bron Yr Aur]

The defense, stepping up big. Noice.

But we still have no offense.

[DMBZeppelin]

I'm really glad we didn't give Orton some Aaron Rodgers money like everyone wanted. He tore up the Falcons, and Lions x 2. Which helped pad his stats, and while he hasn't been god awful. He's not a franchise QB. This should prove that.

[DMBZeppelin]

What a sick tackle for a loss by Alex Brown, only to have that crap happen from Brees to Colston.

[Bron Yr Aur]

Yeah I dunno what the hell....he's playing awful. I mean, we need a different offensive coordinator, and I think Orton is capable of much better, but he has not been the same since that injury. Not giving him a pass, but what is going on....

Love that we can't stop the 3rd and 15...that was pretty much the game-changing play, IMO.

[DMBZeppelin]

SERIOUSLY!?!?!? God damnit.

[Bron Yr Aur]

What
The
Fuck

Up 21-7 and no points in the second half? Can you say "implode?"

God we suck. Still can't complete a damn pass? Is Orton just looking awful or what? Bad passes or good coverage or bad receiving or all of the above???

[Bron Yr Aur]

Oh...there we go....

[DMBZeppelin]

Ya and Rex looked great in 03', 04' and 05' pre-injury. Orton wasn't healthy in the GB game, but since then he's been fine. His ankle isn't causing him to make dumb throws. That's his reads.

This is how the NFL works though. Look at Rex in 2006. First two months of the season he was being called an MVP candidate. But in the NFL defensive coordinators then game plan for you. They figure you out. Then it's your job to adjust.

Now Orton had some success against some bad to average teams. But it looks like teams have figured him out. I mean look at the Vikings game, he looked bad. He looked bad against a defense he knows INSIDE and out. They run a similar defense to us. There shouldn't be any surprises about what he's seeing.

Getting real coaching might be a step in the right direction, but if you got a QB guru. Then I'd rather have Rex then Orton because at his best Orton has never looked as good as Rex. Though in an ideal world, we somehow find a franchise guy in the draft like accident a la Tom Brady.

This has never happened for the Bears and probably never will....:lol

I still have some faith in Orton. He's done a fine job coming back on this drive. He's had a bad game....just get it done now please......

[Bron Yr Aur]

PLEASE PUNCH IT IN...overtime would not be good for us at all.....

[DMBZeppelin]

I'm loving this, the Saints are playing soft and giving Orton every type of dump off pass he wants. This is the crap we always do for other offenses. Nice to be on the other side.

[DMBZeppelin]

THAT WAS STUPID ORTON! STUPID STUPID STUPID! Thankfully they didn't let Orton run another two feet or so and let the clock run out.

[devilandthelord]

Well here comes OT.

[Bron Yr Aur]

Ya know...that sucks. We MUST get this coin flip or it's over, pretty much. Yet another wasted opportunity...how many games have we given away this season, again? We need this coin flip.

Ya know...the focus gets put on Bears QB's a lot, but part of the problem is that we have shit for a running game. Forte is a pretty solid RB, but you can only do so much with what you've got for blocking. We've run it, what, 14-15 times tonight? And passed 40 times. I mean, you're going to end up trying to force stuff and the defense is going to know what is going on. There's no balance. Maybe an offensive line should be our biggest concern....?

Seriously, it seems like we have such a shoddy team....it's surprising we've done this well, and should have a much better record than we have...considering the suspect play we've gotten on defense, passing, running, coaching....the list goes on.

[DMBZeppelin]

If we blow this....

[DMBZeppelin]

Damn this timeout crap.

[DMBZeppelin]

:multi BEARS WIN!!! :multi

I never thought Devin Hester the receiver would be the difference in a game.

[Tiduwho]

Bears to win out?

[devilandthelord]

Ya know what else is good news?
I feel there's a strong chance that Tavaris Jackson will help the Vikings blow their game against the Cardinals, if Kurt Warner & co. don't beat them all by themselves!

[clcfball11]

wow, well, we are very much alive in this playoff chase..shits gonna get interesting these next couple of weeks.

[crashintonickdm]

good win, bears.

ncie to see the saints are finally for the most part finished. sick of the hype.

[Tiduwho]

Well, they've got the Williams Wall set to go for the rest of the season...

[Bron Yr Aur]

Confidence in Orton slightly renewed. He led them on a drive...then threw a terrible, underthrown pass to Hester that was clearly a well-thought-out way to get a pass-interference penalty. ;)

Whatever, though, the guy has a much better head than Grossman. He actually thinks about what he's doing. He doesn't let the bad stuff bother him, just goes back out there and keeps playing. Confident but not cocky. He was not good in this game, but it didn't matter. In the end, he drove the team down the field a couple times and got it done when the game was on the line.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

What a horrible game.


Still, a W is a W

[JaJunk]

Greatest spike ever.

[UCFish]

Would have liked Brees not throwing two TDs but I like it.

Still do not think wel will make the playoffs. :(

[Bron Yr Aur]

If we win the next two we have a great chance.

[UCFish]

Yeah but the division would have been nice. That Minnesota game was crushing....

Not to mention the games we blew at the end earlier this year.

[BustedStuff87]

So the Bears brought out their new play last night. Send Hester deep and hope for a pass interference call. Happened multiple times and I like it.

[darbini]

Kyle Orton sucks
