thoughts from yesterday

2MinsToPost · #1 10-02-2006, 09:43 AM

Patriots are back and firing on 8 cylinders. Question is can they produce week in and out from now till January?

Jets played 3 great quarters yesterday. That game was a classic battle.

Da Bears, nuff said. Props to Grossman especailly, he's a gamer.

Mark Brunell shut up his critics yesterday! What a game that was, I was tuned into that one (thank god for the NFL Ticket package) like a fly on dog pupoo.

Miami needs help, sad state of affairs down their. Whose Offensive line was worse yesterday, Texans or Dolphins?

Tonite's game should be real interesting.

Oh yea last thought, Believe In Blue. I was so glad to see Tony Dungy get all fired up, bout time he showed a little emotion. Love that!

I think the biggest thing that stood out to me was that Hasselbeck, in reality, is the same old loser who tosses interceptions that he always was.
He was always a clown, but in the system with Alexander he had the luxury of not facing blitzes and heat very often. The other teams have to stay back and play the run and hawk Alexander.
He was tragic last night, and the Bears brought everything but the kitchen sink at him and exposed him to what he truly is, an adequate(at best) qb who makes bad decisions and forces the ball when hes under heat.
Teams playing the Seahawks while Alexander is out would be wise to just do the same thing, blitz and stunt at him from start to finish. He looked like a beaten man on the sidelines during the whole game with no confidence at all. Doesn't take much for a guy like that to crash down to the reality that hes not real good, and they ain't going anywhere this year now. The only way the Seahawks go to the super bowl this year is if they get good tickets.

Mike, the Bears BARELY blitzed last night, they didn't need to, I'll count when I rewatch the game but they BARELY blitzed, maybe twice all game. EVEN if they have Alexander, they might score one more TD. What they don't have is an offensive line. Walter Jones (Sporting News supposed best player in the NFL) got SMOKED ALL game, and Hasselback has a skid mark on his pants from running from Tommie Harris, what is so hilarious was the play that Harris came in clean and then he got smoked by Anderson....

Just bought some suntan lotion for Feb 4th.

WE DON'T NEED A RB, we have the 2nd coming of Brett Favre, and how fitting is it that he is on a team that he tormented for years and years.

Cowboys couldn't hold our jockstrap, our O-Line would hold them and our D-Line would eat up their O-Line...You have Columbo starting, a Bears 1st round draft pick that we cut.....72' Dolphins better watch out, because we are coming...We have 3 hard games in a row, and if we get through those, we are golden (At Jets, Patroits, NY Giants, back to back to back all road games)

Chicago's very good, but you better hold off on all of that 72 Dolphins talk, they haven't played an AFC Team yet. They are probably 1-2 in the NFC, but not nearly as good as the best AFC teams. It's kind of like MLB, the Chumps are in the NL, but the Champs are in the AL. It's the same thing with the NFL AFC vs NFC.

Scav · #7 10-02-2006, 11:57 AM

Show me one AFC team that would beat them. We would beat Indy by 14, and probably be up 28 with them scoring two late TD's....we would run all over them. Who is the other, Baltimore, they wouldn't score 3 pts on us.

Good luck with that...

I heard all of this Bears chest thumping until the Bengals went in there and beat them last year at home...

Colts
Pats
Steelers

Are a few that could beat them, wouldn't be surprised to see Buffalo take them, they are good, but they beat Seattle without Alexander, not exactly something to get your blood boiling...

Pointg5 · #9 10-02-2006, 12:03 PM

You could probably add:

San Diego
Denver
Ravens

To that list that could beat the Bears...

Scav · #10 10-02-2006, 12:20 PM

You both are crazy, there isn't a team that is as three dimensional as us, you will see, we are just quicker then everyone, at all positions

Right now, the Bears and Cowboys look to be the class of the NFC, Colts and Ravens looking good in the AFC...but it's early, Grossman needs to stay healthy (a problem so far) and TO needs not to red-line (who knows there?), in the AFC...Colts defense is suspect as is their running game, Ravens have been just getting by...sign of a good or lucky team? We will hear from a few other teams yet:
NFC...Giants (terrible early schedule), Redskins (offense suddenly coming to life), Sea Hawks (Alexander probably will miss just one more game), Carolina (different team with Smith back) and Philadelphia (Stallworth brings them balance)
AFC...Jacksonville (tough early schedule as well), Pittsburgh (way too soon to bury them), Cinn (everybody has an off game) and San Diego (Rivers developing fast with lots of weapons)!

There's no one in the NFL that's heads and shoulders above anyone else, it's been a strange year. I wouldn't be surprised to see Chicago go to the Super Bowl, but they won't win. They are good, but you need to stop drinking the Kool Aid, they will not be close to undefeated, 12-4 or 11-5....

We fought about this last year and went no where, we have an easy trip to Miami. AFC is down this year, Indy/NE are brutal, Pittsburgh is still hung over. Ravens still have issues with scoring. Cincy is dangerous but we know that defense wins championships, and their is questionable at best. Denver, yeah right, Jake Plummer always finds a way to get nuts. San Diego, not with Philip Rivers, but their D is right, especially their front seven.

#14 10-02-2006, 12:41 PM

Add the Redskins to the list that could beat the Bears.

They're a completely different team with Portis healthy.

You are delusional Scav. Beating the Hawks without Alexander is one thing, saying you would beat the Colts is another. And Brett Favre? Are you comparing Rex Grossman to Brett Favre? WOW!!! I don't hear you at all on this one, not even close.

Scav you must still be drunk, you really must. Indy is brutal? Now how do you figure that exactly? Dude, Indy is the team with the horseshoe on the side of the helmets with Manning at qb, they wear blue and white. No way have you been watching the same team as me if you think Indy is brutal.

And lets be honest, you play the easiest schedule in the NFL this year, thats true. That gets you a free pass to the playoffs, not to Miami. Eagles, Giants, Cowboys, redskins is a very good division. And while they won't have a gaudy record because they all have to play each other all year, the one who emerges at years end from there can definitely beat the Bears in the playoffs. Last year didn't go so well for you in the playoffs, what exactly has changed?
And did you really compare Jones to Payton?
Dude, you musta tied a real good one on last night, drink lots of water.

i think Scav just got that snippet from Madden and Michaels about comparing Rex Grossman to Farve, hell I remember Grossman not even on the same level as Danny Wurefel

Actually WHEN GROSSMAN was drafted. RON WOLF, the Green Bay GM at the time compared him to Favre, and that notion has been around Chicago since he was drafted. If he was 3/4's as durable as Favre, I am real happy. Favre NEVER had a defense like this one. never.

Even with Alexander too be continued, boss is right here

I think the point was that Grossman is a gunslinger, same as Brett...nobody was saying they compare, one is a sure HOFer, the other is trying to prove he's an NFL QB! I do think Grossman has a ton of talent and could (I did say "could") be a special QB...he suddenly has tools...a deep threat, great possession WR, excellent young TE and backs that can catch the ball!

Even with Alexander they don't beat us. When you can get pressure with 4 D-Lineman, you are going to win alot of games, and that is what we do. Still drunk, maybe, but far from delusional. Not only are all NFC teams going to have to come through Soldier Field to get to the Super Bowl, but we will end up being teh SUPER BOWL FAVORITES when the playoffs start...INVINCABLE
