Here's hoping..
…Tillman and Vash will be ready to go. We’re a much better team when they’re on the field.

might not matter
d line needs to step up otherwise this one will be over quick. even gus ferrote can hit the slant 100 times a game.
Vash, Peanut, Manning & Lloyd all out.
Glazer is saying McBride may not be able to last the whole game. Says “shaky”. Whatever that means. Not looking good for the back end of the defense….
"Next year" sucks.

Prediction:
GET PRESSURE ON GUS — that will be the key. Don’t let him sit back there and pick our backups of backups secondary. Bend but don’t break, snag a couple turnovers, and the week will be ours! — BEAR DOWN!
Bears 20 – Vikings 17
Tim Ryan's head is taking up my entire TV
"Next year" sucks.

yay....FOOTBALL!
Keys to the game are going to be Orton’s decision making and the defense. I think the play action will be big today.
Yeah.
That is not a good start. 15 yards on first down. Yay. :-/
"Next year" sucks.

16 yards on first
another 12 on soft d.
awesome.
Oh look
a slant type thing.
Fabulous.
"Next year" sucks.

It's good to see that Babich doesn't have his defensive scheme fix its weakness of handling slants
by aznsensation on Oct 19, 2008 12:09 PM CDT up reply actions
Bet its hard to practice
seeing as Turners NEVER gotten our offense to perform a slant consistently.
"Next year" sucks.

Who said "bend but don't break"?
I love that we’re always in the game… but these are gonna kill me.

might not work
if they score every drive until then.
Its still Gus Ferrotte at the helm
If they score a few times in a row, I’m sure he’ll headbutt something… again.
"Next year" sucks.

better than the election or the horrible direct tv poltergeist one
but lots of lame-o commericals lately.
Who is this lady on the sideline BTW? Does anyone really need to know who Hester is? Geez.

Did he just say "Lions and Bears"??

Apparently so
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
he just said "Lions and Bears the old rivalry"
wake up a-hole!
That wasn't even the dumbest thing
Their sideline chick gave us a “football for dummies” explanation that the squib happened b/d of Hester.
Really? who knew he played for the bears.

I dunno
whats-his-face’s running out of the back of the endzone last week may be tops on that list.
it was the dumbest thing i’d ever seen.

this has it beat by a mile
he drops a perfect snap. kicks it, gets it block and tries to kick it again. he needed to try and jump on it. but instead….TD BEARS!
I don't know the replay didn't make it look like a good snap
kinda warbly.
But this was a stupid play. hilarious.
"Next year" sucks.

That was indeed priceless! And Orlovsky is his face.
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
yes, thats his name.
i think the best part of that was that Jared Allen wasn’t even within 4 yards of him but he got a sack for it. easiest sack ever?

We have to get some buys back healthy eventually

Man, how quickly things change
I’m amazed we’re actually disappointed with the D and happy with the O. Is both at the same time too much to hope for?

here's the greg olsen
i thought I drafted for my FF team…
glad someone else dumped cooley though…

Eh
I’m a big 10 girl (or i used to be) but i’ve completely fallen in love with Les Miles at LSU. I can’t help it. If i were gonna cast a football coach for a movie or something, he’d look & sound exactly like Les Miles. :-P

Orton has tied his career high for a season in TD passes

if booker’s gonna drop one, at least it was a first down in the 2nd quarter. could be worse.
but man, what a fastball from Orton. :-)

meh I'd really want them to go for it, but hell just take the damn points

4th and goal from outside the 5?
no.

yeah I know
its just that you came so far down the field and you want them to go for it but they should take the FG instead. get what i’m saying?
2009 Cubs: Well, Seems so far away..
i'm as big a "go for it" type as any
but not outside the 5. take the 3 and hope your defense settles in finally.

Oh, so NOW Berrian can keep it.

I think I understand why they have lady reporters at the sidelines.
It’s because if they had men down there making the same inane comments, they’d get smacked in the mouth.

Remember when 3rd & long felt like an automatic punt?

Blitz
What is up with the no blitzing again?? I know our corners are backups but they cant cover anyway..
Note how Devin Hester is lulling them into a false sense of security
…with his clever short runbacks. He’s saving a good one so when they relax—BAM!!
Yeah, that’s the ticket!
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
think he needs new spikes
he’s slipped several times i can think of.

You might be onto something there.
When he started to lose his balance on that last one, I was afraid he’d drop the football. He needs to quit tackling himself.
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
I think he's just trying to be too fancy
he just needs to go north less of the loopy stuff.

ugh
i can just imagine how many asploded heads there’d be from all the fumbles.

Did anybody see why?

our defense is giving up too much...

Really showed up in replay

any one
not see these 9 yard button hooks coming?
They're gonna let em tie it up.
Do they just enjoy the challenge, or what?
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
hmm
usually those same teams that “enjoy the challenge” still win in the end, so i guess not.
did we learn nothing from playing Tuner last week?
you can’t just bump him, you need to wrap him up and drag him down.

vikings are scoring at will
only reason the bears are still in this is that the vikings are also retarded.
