Brandon Lloyd and Nathan Vasher
have just been scratched. Hester and Graham are starting.
Being Who You Thought We Were Since 2005!
Vasher
said on Friday that he expected to play and Lovie said he’d be available. Brad Biggs thinks this means the Bears don’t think they need him.

No need to rush Vasher back against
an Atlanta team who doesn’t have big time WRs.
This gives him an extra week of rest with the bye next week.
Besides Graham did pretty well last week against the Lions

first game thread
Finally a game i don’t have to listen to on the radio, then watch on DVR days later!
BEAR DOWN!
by HesterSteals1st on Oct 12, 2008 12:01 PM CDT reply actions
alright
i’d rather not let them start a drive at the 40…but whatever. plant matty “ice” ryan on his ass all day long.
special teams
have not been so special this year
Was wonderin where you were.
And just in time for Hillenmeyer to look totally clueless in pass coverage!
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
Sam Baker was not the #1 pick
their shiny new quarterback was idiot!
After watching the Hawks stink it up in person last night
I need a pick me up today from Chicago sports
--Torch
Were they that bad?
Thought this year was looking up. Us and our two expensives goalies. lol
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
i know
our cornerbacks play a bend don’t break game. don’t give up 50 yarders but let em have 10 all day long.
That how Tampa beat us
They dinked all second half
It is not a double reverse
It was a reverse. The ball only changed directions once.
I hate these dumb announcers
--Torch
No, I can one-up you for dumb announcers
Yesterday’s UT – OU game: Brett Musburger/Kirk Herbestreit (sp?).
Absolutely stupid….
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
Well that was a lot better than I thought it was going to be.
That sack on the reverse was freaking huge.
so what is better
the bud light drinkability commercials where everyone “freezes” or the miller light More Taste League commercials?
More Taste League. And I don't even think it's close.
And I’ve yet to see a commercial for the new Budweiser American Ale, which is odd.
I don't watch much TV anymore - feels like work.
I had one last night when I was out – I was really surprised by it. Not a bad beer at all, but really nothing like a Budweiser.
i've seen one
but it wasn’t anything special. it is a friggin joke that it is called “american” ale and they sold the company to unibev or whatever the hell in europe.
"kyle orton, for hte second time in his career, is hte bears starting quarterback"
thanks for the update!
It's the sort of thing I could see my mom not knowing...
…if she didn’t watch the Bears games. I dunno, it doesn’t really bother me.
ugh. Ron Turner
will be more effective for ATL than Michael Turner.
by HesterSteals1st on Oct 12, 2008 12:20 PM CDT reply actions
Regardless, he loses yards on the place. It'll give Babich three minutes to figure out what he wants to do. lol
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
dammit
how do we give up 3rd and long to a fucking rookie?
"Next year" sucks.

i'm here
missed the first part of the game and turned it on just in time to see Alex Brown’s almost fumble. :-P
"Next year" sucks.
by halfblindcubbiegirl on Oct 12, 2008 12:28 PM CDT up reply actions
I want to know how we can set up this many third-and-long situations...
…and then get bent over and taken on them this often!
ladies and gentleman
the bend for 3 quarters and break in the 4th quarter defense of the chicago bears!
dude
wtf kind of defense is this? are we playing detriot defense again “leave the reciever open”.
"Next year" sucks.
by halfblindcubbiegirl on Oct 12, 2008 12:30 PM CDT reply actions
at least we know ryan is better than kitna.
"Next year" sucks.

and we’re playing “let a guy get to the sticks untouched!”

by halfblindcubbiegirl on Oct 12, 2008 12:31 PM CDT up reply actions
especially tillman,
he’s made like 4 tackles 1 yard past the 1st down already today.
by HesterSteals1st on Oct 12, 2008 12:33 PM CDT up reply actions
yeah
i believe it was the tampa game when the announcers remarked how great he was because he was leading the team in tackles…what they forget is the way cornerbacks lead the team in tackles is by letting the damn receiver catch the ball all day.
Ryan.
needs to be hit a few more times. Maybe a sack? nono. that’s crazy talk.
by HesterSteals1st on Oct 12, 2008 12:31 PM CDT reply actions
2 field goals
could be worse…

i never thought i'd say...
the bears need to pass to set up the run!

gotten loosen it up a bit
little bit of hurry up could be good.

That... was not a good running play.

This game will be over in a hurry if this continues
Question: What is considered basic attire for game days?
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
i'm rocking pj pants and a sweatshirt
i’m hungover and i haven’t had time to shower yet so it’ll have to do.
when i’m clean it is bears pj pants, bears long sleeve shirt and bears jersey (cade mcnown!)
Butkus jersey
Sometimes even to church.
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
do what?
are you asking the creepy "what are you wearing’ question
"Next year" sucks.

ah you live in texas?
lucky bastard. my older brother lives down there and i LOVE visiting, always a blast. Texas is a different world.
Ah, I wish I did. It'd be a helluva lot nicer that where I live now (Iowa)
Texas is a great place. Hunting, fishing, you name it, it’s awesome.

I don't know a reason one would say they live in Davenport...
…except for living in Davenport. Not really the sort of thing you lie about.
Except more corn and fewer females. It's the anti-Texas
Called my uncle last night (he worked in the admissions dept at UT). He said Austin was just goin nuts.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
Dear Ron Turner
This is what happens when 78% of your plays revolve around Forte.
by HesterSteals1st on Oct 12, 2008 12:44 PM CDT reply actions
I think that this Bears team...
…isn’t as good as its looked in its wins or as bad as its looked in its losses. It’s just a very mediocre 8-8 sort of team.
This is really a team effort
… at playing like crap today
I'd like to go back to making Ryan beat us
Turner running through our secondary makes me nauseous.
"Next year" sucks.
by halfblindcubbiegirl on Oct 12, 2008 12:46 PM CDT reply actions
So we recovered a fumble and then re-fumbled?

This is the second time this year that stupid rules regarding fumbles have popped up

there was actual emotion on lovie’s face! he’s awake!

hahahaha
anyone else watch south park this week? the indiana jones dvd commercial just reminded me of the episode from this week.
The first fumble came
before the runner hit the ground, then Tommie fumbled before anyone touched him
--Torch
Really hope this game starts goin in the Bears favor
I have a paper to write afterwards and I’d rather not do it while crying.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
awful lot of splaining going on
"Next year" sucks.

So the penalty on Urlacher...
Why has this not been mentioned on TV yet?
Did you see where Atlanta recovered the ball and where the next play was?
There was an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Urlacher. They recovered the fumble at the 24, the next play was at the 12.
since when
is Tommie’s presence a BAD thing?
by HesterSteals1st on Oct 12, 2008 12:58 PM CDT reply actions
longest challenge ever

we was never great!
i kid. i kid. i love kerry wood.
only down 6 now
and we’ve shown we can move the ball on them.
i’ll take that for now. baby steps.

if our defense can hold and get the ball back...that'd be wonderful

We get them in 3rd and long and then let them convert.

I'm more worried about our offense not converting, personally.
9 points allowed in a half isn’t terrible. 3 points scored is.

we've only had what...3 offensive possesions?
if the defense was winded in the 4th quarter of games where we were winning the t.o.p. battle, today is going to be REALLY bad.
where'd our safety blitz go?
Payne is flying around everywhere and hitting hard let’s point that at the QB?
