Listen, isn't it oh so typical of you Eastern types to spend your entire life in an East coast box where the only football, baseball, basketball and hockey teams that matter are somewhere between Boston and DC. Guess what, the Bears are for real, they have beaten every opponent they have faced handily, and every time they take the field they play an excellent game of nearly flawless football. Oh, and you will eat your words about Mr. Grossman when he wins MVP-and the Super Bowl. The Ravens? Come on! That's all youve got? A better offense then the Bears? Are you nuts! The Bears have been blasting teams all season!:roll:

If Butkus was playing, I would be concerned. However, he is long retired, and you are stuck with that Ray Lewis wannabe, Brian Urlacher. Also, I do not teach geography, but I am certain that Dallas is not located between Boston and Washington DC.

I know that you Chicagoians are a firey and impulsive bunch, and that you are starved for success after your Bears have spent nearly the past 20 years being the laughing stock of the NFL, but you have to look at things reasonably. Yes, you made the Bills one-dimensional yesterday. Of course, the QB that da Bears shut down yesterday was none other than the Canton-bound J. P. Losman. Impressive. Regarding Baltimore, I would take the trio of McNair/Lewis/Mason over that of Grossman/Jones/Muhammad anyday, and so would almost any reasonable football observer.

Mr. Grossman's numbers from yesterday: 15/27 for 182 yds, 2 TD, 0 INT, 101.2 QB Rating

Year to date: 93/152 for 1243 yds, 10 TD, 3 INT, 100.8 QB Rating.

Those are MVP numbers?

In terms of how great Chicago is, we will have to wait until week 10, where Chicago will visit the Giants, and week 12 where they will go to New England, to see. Outside of that, Chicago may very well have the easiest schedule in the league. They will make the playoffs, but I expect an early exit, as they will be, largely, untested and may not be able to respond when playing from behind.

EDIT: Note that I did not say that da Bears were a bad team. They are a good team. They are playing like a very good team, but they are not the best team in the league. Grossman is overachieving right now, and like all over achievers, he will eventually come back to earth. The sooner this happens, the better off Chicago will be. Nonetheless, one cannot deny that Chicago is in a very easy division with a very favorable schedule. Give them the NY Giants schedule and see how well they, or any team, for that matter, does.

Mr. Butkus is back, stunned by the assertion that the purple birds are somehow better than the big bad Bears...

Funny you should say that, because I don't teach Geography either, although I am a Geography major in college and I noticed you have listed your location as Allentown Pennsylvania, which is most definately not Dallas, Texas.

Yes, they are.
Since your so in love with Steve McNair, I thought I'd bring his stats in for comparison: He has a 55.7 completion percentage, 3 interceptions, 5 TDs and 7 sacks, and is nursing a 75.4 QB rating. That puts him in the bottom half of the league. The Ravens are a good team, and they may even make it to the Super Bowl, if they can make it past the Colts, who IMHO are a better team. :know:
Also, I'm not really sure why the Giants are the big test for the Bears, they've only won half of their games, and all around aren't that good of a team.

nikimcbee 10-15-06 11:27 PM

I didn't forget. I went camping and listened to th Steelers game on the radio.:rock:

Tampa Bay, Detroit...:hmm: The end is near, time to move to higher ground, build ark, wait, raiders lost... nevermind.

I haven't heard how life is at the monestary? Do they have electricity? Someone should send a care package.:doh:

Onkel Neal 10-16-06 12:12 AM

Yeah, the Raiders lost... :( I'm done for. I guess I'll grab my razor and head to the monestary. :dead: So long, all!

madDdog67 10-16-06 08:21 AM

Neal, I feel your pain. After watching them last night, it's entirely possible that they'll go winless this season. I figured it was a disaster when Davis hired Shell again, and so far, history seems to be repeating itself.

They were actually in this game, though. As usual, penalties killed them...and it certainly doesn't look liker there's any chemistry between Walker and the receivers...especially Randy Moss.

blue3golf 10-16-06 11:06 AM

Well even though all hope is lost Tampa is no longer rolling the big zero in the win column. Made my weekend.

I hope Foxbort survived the first half

He would have never survived the tormenting if they lost to the Cardinals:damn: .

I almost didn't.:o
Boy the Bears sucked, I mean they really, really sucked.:shifty:
I actually went swimming after the first half, because I just couldn't watch anymore. I came back with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter, I turned the TV on with great trepidation, and I was stunned to see the Bears were catching up. Then I saw the punt that Devin Hester ran back for a touchdown, and I knew the Bears would win, I can't say why but I just did. I feel genuinely sorry for the Cardinals, especially the kicker (the most underrated position in the NFL) and Matt Lienart, who played a terrific game against a brutal defense.
But now I am sure, the Bears are destined for greatness. Good teams lose games like this, only the great ones find a way to win.:rock:
The Game

madDdog67 10-17-06 08:39 AM

Not drafting Lienart was just the latest in a long string of senseless decisions made by Al Davis lately. What the **** was he thinking?????? That any one of the bozos we have at quarterback could carry Lienart's jockstrap? The man's on crack.

nikimcbee 10-21-06 10:50 PM

Could this be an opportunity to rescue Neal from the "Brotherhood?":hmm: Arizona vs Oakland, a combined total of (punching buttons on calculator) 1 win:o

When they were talking about the ha-rumph about the dirty bombs, I thought they were walking about this game.:dead:
Any-hooow...

Green Bay vs Miamzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


Eagles vs Chucky...

Vikes vs Seahawks

Saints, da bears on holiday. Foxbort will be [insert activity here]. My guess is practicing the superbowl shuffle in his McMahon jersey.:hmm:

P_Funk 10-21-06 11:45 PM

BC Lions for the Grey Cup!!!!!!!!!

Oh I guess I should say something about the NFL too.

As for the Bears game the Bears so did not suck. Half the Bears sucked.:rotfl:
But that's really a testament to how great a team they are that they only need HALF of their team to win. Though the Cards still deserve credit for really choking.

If Urlacher can knock a ball loose that easily against the Run is there any safe play against this team?
