Bears are last in ESPN's Power Rankings!

Chicago Bears rank dead last in ESPN NFL Power Rankings - Chicago Bears Blog - ESPN




Sure, I don't care about Power Rankings usually but being last is a feat.

Romo was my FFB QB as well. Dang. Cost me the game this week too.

I have Tyrod as the backup - and he's looking kinda good right now. Hope it lasts.

I'm not alone when I say Taylor has some potential and has definitely shown flashes of that in the past two weeks. A couple of his passes sailed high against the Pats and resulted in INTs. If he connected on those passes, it obviously would have been more interesting. He also needs help from his OL. 8 sacks with multiple hurried passes and knock downs last week alone.

Also have Romo. Picked up Tyrod (Dalton wasn't available); hanging onto Romo since I have space.

Also picked up David Johnson and dropped Tre Mason.

With Fitzgerald now basically a WR1, I have 3 WR1's with Hopkins and Cobb. Maybe I can trade for a RB1 if I can make a good deal. The Denver RB mess is not helping me.

^Pray, as I am, that Fitz isn't a flash since he's been down in his career. Maybe offer him out.

Brady doesn't care about that kind of stuff or his individual statistics. He just wants the "W" on Sunday's and this is why he has renegotiated his contract so many times. He works with the Pats organization to restructure his salary to help with the salary cap.

That's the way it should be. Team wins. No egos and all the other nonsense that goes on.

That aside, Ben is a very good QB, but not sure he is of the same caliber of Peyton or Tom or maybe he just hasn't had the same supporting casts (OL) they have.

Sure, Ben is not like Peyton because well, Peyton is Peyton. But, Ben is not Tom Brady because Ben does not cheat to win.




As I said, without cheating, Tom is exactly what we all think he is: a 243542th round pick worse than Cade McNown throwing with his left @$$-cheek.

Without all the taping, radio-sabotage, deflating, steroids, and shenanigans, I would suspect Brady is more inept than Cutler playing against a varsity squad.

He has more rings and SB trips than Manning, but our OL has been struggling for a few years, yes

Unfortunately, he has as many as the other Manning, Sling Blade.

Same number of trips, actually, with one more win.

I actually found a pretty neat site just now:

Ben Roethlisberger's Career Super Bowl Plays | Pro-Football-Reference.com

Peyton Manning's Career Super Bowl Plays | Pro-Football-Reference.com

Interesting SB stat comparison between those 2. Ben has just 1 more TD (and it was rushing), and 1 more INT than Peyton. Manning has way more yards (not rushing, though) and a higher completion %. Amazing what defense and a running game can do! It's a shame that Denver wasn't able to combine those 2 things from last season with Manning's QB play the year before.

Another interesting thing I noticed on that site: the first 2 times, Manning always followed Roethlisberger to the superbowl, the very next year! Then the 3rd time, instead of Peyton it was Eli.
