@ Bears...
Thank goodness I decided to leave for the afternoon and run some errands.

Shaun Hill is an okay QB. It's just that he doesn't really make the big play. But he doesn't make the big mistakes like Smith does.... argh
Man, that Saints D really is something. Didn't they get a new defensive coordinator or something?
Never doubt Drew Brees either... I remember Chargers fans were all doubting Brees in that 4-12 season. Who knows if it really was drafting Philip Rivers that lit a fire under his ass or not, but I had faith in him and was disappointed with that pick. Rivers is a GREAT QB. It's just that Drew Brees is simply on another level.

very soon.
no dis-credit to the dolphins.
but everyone knew that the saints werent playing "their game" for the first quarter and 1/2.
it was a matter of time before they started clicking and then the matchup truly looked lop-sided.
just glad they decided to click before it was too late...

Thank God I had little expectation for this year. The Colts and Saints shouldn't be undefeated. We should be in 1st or tied for 1st. We can't finish games. Thank God I ate great BBQ ribs before this mess and that I only got to hear some parts on the radio (1st half). This + the Hurricanes losing in OT pretty much ruins both seasons. Again
#655
on to the next one...
NFC North Standings:
1 - Vikings - 6-1
2 - Packers - 4-2
3 - Bears - 3-3
4 - Lions - 1-5
Yeah, my team lost for the first time this year, but at least we put up a fight. The Bears laid down and played dead starting with the coin-flip.
Giving up 14 points to the other teams DEFENSE in the 4th is gonna cost you. Honestly, I've had a bad feeling about the game all week - which is why I picked Pitt for the win in my weekly pick 'em league - 10-2 yesterday.
...and you think I have INT concerns with Favre? Cutler threw just as many INT's yesterday as Favre has all year, so, please.

Four more long years of hearing about this, ladies. Four more
I really wish I would've been around a computer while I was intoxicated yesterday to rub some salt on the wounds, so at least you lucked out there
And what makes it even better is all the d-bag Bears fans that were in town Friday and Saturday night annoying the shit out of everybody

saints deserve to be undefeated b/c they worked for every game this year and earned it..
there was no foul play here.. just a late wake-up call and it humbled them a little bit in knowing they can be beaten. but they deserve their record thus far.

If standings is all you got...
Then, it should hurt you even more that your "superior all-mightiness" team lost to a second-rate team with a QB who plays like the second coming of Tony Romo often.
I should remember to be less classy when your team loses to mine down the road. I love this one-sided thing coming from you.
Now, leemealone. I need to deal with a Bengals fan here.

Seriously.
S'cuse me while I write up a 10-page diatribe to the Bears management group and how I want my 2 hours back (I bailed when the score was ridiculous)...
#665
Lovie Smith and Lewis were in cahoots...the Bengirls are such a sorry franchise with a sorry roster that Smith (being the classy and nice coach that he is), told Lewis that he'll ask the Bears to lay down for the Bengirls to give the franchise a boost in morale.
Seriously.

You bailed on your team?! :shakehead
For shame...
It could've been worse though. I mean, Cut could've thrown 6 interceptions to top Orton's 5 the last time you girls strolled in to town for a beat down

I took the wife to IKEA and then I went to Future Shop to buy myself a game to feel better.
Now, hang on, I'm still writing up the 10 page diatribe. And now, I need some Scope mouthwash because the bad taste is still in my mouth...

Well, other than svtmike occasionally...where the eff are all the Bears fans...!??
It's so lonely.

And I don't even want to hear about lonely. Until hdcolumbus showed up I was the only Bengals fan around here for years, defending myself against you Wildebeests

Question for ya: I know Hester returns punts, but why doesn't he return kickoffs anymore? I know Knox is doing good but still..

Secondarily, I also am a Pats and Steelers fan because I admire well-run franchises.

So that Jay Cutler trade that included two first round draft picks and Kyle Orton is working like a charm for the Bears now, they're about as good as when they had Grossman fumbling the snaps. It's really great to hear that Cutler, who didn't feel he could work under 33-year old head coach Josh McDaniels, is excelling at throwing interceptions and getting sacked. Don't forget he's also continuing his excellent streak of not being able to get anything done once in the red zone.
Here's to Jay Cutler, and the demise of the Chicago Bears
So how about that Kyle Orton? Do the Bears miss him yet?

Orton was a bad fit for the Bears' offense. He doesn't have the gun to throw the long interception like Cutler can.
Now be honest and admit that the fans weren't exactly dancing in the streets in Denver when they found out that Orton was coming to town to take the reins.

In Chicago, Cutler does not have that luxury. His O-line is crap and Forte is doing his best Curtis Enis impression this season...add to that a very inexperienced WR corp and you've got yourself a huge uphill battle. And oh, gotta love the zero pass-rush the last couple of games...
The Bears are still better off with Cutler. QBs with his ability and arm don't come around regularly...Do I want him to play better? Yes. But, if you want to use yesterday's game as an example, his O-line and defence gave him VERY little chance. When you were down by 3 TDs so early, you had to resort to alot of throwing and with that WR group? Forget it.

if saints come out fired up like the did in the second half to start the game... it would have been ugly.
