We don't penalize for INTs.
I'm leaning toward Warner.

Id go with Warner as well.

Should I start N. Kaeding, SD against BUF or J. Brown, SEA against SanFran?
Both have similar stats this year. I'm thinking Seattle might really run up the score on SanFran's D meaning lots of time of the field for PATs and FGs. Kaeding has been consistant all year though; Brown is a recent pick-up for me.

So, the Bears beat Carolina.
Gag me with a spoon. I still don't think that they are Superbowl material, but I was quite impressed, being a Chicago fan.
We had something like 7 or 8 sacks today, against what, at least to me, was toughted as the most lethal offense in the NFL.
Carolina scored 102 points if the stat I heard was correct, in the last three games. Today: 3.
Bears 13, Carolina 3. Final. Woot!

Bears are on fire... im really startin to think they are for real. they said grossman might be cleared to play shortly. could put a spark in the offense. their running game is good and if rex can throw to mushin like they were talkin about earlier in the year, they might have a good shot. anything can happen with a defense like that.
BTW - the bears killed me in fantasy, i have delhomme as my qb. he got me like 5 points... haha

I think that blowout against the Giants was more of a good reflection of the team than an aberration.
Our defense is a fucking joke. What happened? Was Antonio Pierce that important?

The Bears need to keep Orton in the game even if Rex comes back from physical therapy to keep the offensive rhythm that is starting to build. Fortunately it seems like Lovie understands this and will probably leave him as starter.

Man who's coach of the year? Lovie for winning with a rookie QB, Indy, Cinci's turnaround. Wow. This will go down to Week 17.
Damn I started Steven Jackson over LJ. -.90 for Jackson and like 23 for LJ. I'm up by 7 going into MNF but the guy has Driver.

your defense wasn't bad at all. You did a hell of a job stopping our running game. That said, you did have a hard time getting by our big linemen on the pass. But your defense was not terrible.
You held us from getting into field goal territory many times.
Our offense blows, so does our defense though

Word out of Philly is that McNabb got a 2nd opinion on his sports hernia and the verdict is that he have the surgery right away. It appears he will do that within the next week and thus is done for the year.
