    way to go Miami.. touted yourself as a top 5 defense at the start of the season and you can't even stop Colt McCoy.

    I give up.

    As a Pats fan, I congratulate your team. Well done.

    I also think it is time to kick Ochocinco's ass to the curb. He let up on a route which caused an interception, and he dropped an easy touchdown that was right in his hands. I don't think he will ever adjust to the Patriots' offense, and he is now causing a distraction. I don't think he's drawing double coverage or anything like that either, so it isn't like he's helping the other receivers.
     
  4. I was so happy when the Bills won. Not that I'm a fan, I just really really hate Tom Brady and Bill Bellacheat. What changed between this season and last season for the Bills? I believe they were the worst in the season last year. (They did beat the Bengals though...sigh.)

    Oh Ocho.

    There are so many, many things to blame for the Bears' loss to the Pack. One of them, though, is not QB criticism, which I guess is nice.

    Fucking 20 rushing yards? What the hell?

  9. Why does the coaching staff continue to make the same mistakes with this team, that is not playing to their strengths. Every issue on offense that was evident when Orton was QB is still a problem. That being. The O line is suspect and the recieving corps is weak. Player personnel choices have been laughable. I'm in favor for a house cleaning, starting with Ted Phillips, Jerry Angelo and the entire offensive coaching staff.

    One this is interesting, we sure aren't hearing Briggs or Forte complaining about not getting new contracts. I'm sure Forte is ready to find a new home.

    BTW, I'm headed to London to see the Bear and Tampa Bay play at Wembley. They better have their act together then.

    As a lifelong Packers fan, I have to say I'm enjoying this year so far. Beating da Bears always warms my heart. I just wish we had better redzone production.

    [edit]

    I'll say this, at least no Bears fans here are blaming the refs for that loss... Also, that punt return at the end of the game was glorious! If not for the holding call it might have been one of the plays of the year. Fooled everyone.

    If you watch the replay closely, it appears that Graham (#21) held. Not a horrible hold, but one that could be called. The refs made themselves look worse by botching who they called it on, then calling it on someone who wasn't even on the field, but it appears they meant Graham.

    That being said, even if you argued that the call shouldn't have been made, the Bears would've still needed a successful on-side kick and another score. They way they were playing yesterday that would've been a very tall order. They couldn't run the ball if their life depended on it, and between the WRs and the O-line, Cutler had almost no help from anywhere.
     
  12. Hard for this Bears fan to hate on tbe Packers, at least this version. Rodgers is very impressive. Was my pick for the Super Bowl last year, long before the NFC championship game.

    This incarnation of the team is scary to say the least. I heard from a reliable source that Clay Matthews can wield Mjölnir.

    I'm happy to see the Lions finally putting together a team. If any city needs a pick up it's the Big "D." I like the Packers, 9'ers and Seachokes too or any team playing Dallas.

    I hate the new kick-off rule.

  19. There was nobody crying when Mike Martz left Detroit.... or Marinelli either, for that matter. It's a wonder that Chicago didn't hire Matt Millen.

    Whatever..

    I'll be over in the corner. Let me know when Miami gets a real team instead of these wanna-be types they keep playing.
