As this game goes, our season goes.

God help me, I’m prayin for a win. I have to start a 20 page paper today, and I’d like to be just partially hating myself after that.

I'M A MAN! I'M 22!

great return

but that is where old Hester hits that seam and would have been gone.

For sure

But still….at least Manning’s hitting the holes hard.

was losing favor even beforee he got hurt. he wasn’t inactive like someone reported a couple weeks ago

by mike b on Nov 23, 2008 12:13 PM CST up reply actions  

For sure, but

I’m more curious why they’re not trying Jamar Williams in there too….since this week was “back to basics.”

So wait a minute....

The refs just called a fumble because someone stripped the ball when Forte was most likely on the ground?

Is it possible for the refs to be worse than the Rams?

Agreed

I was so stoked during the pre-draft when i saw we were interested in him. We needed a big physical back in Chicago

wolfe

is also eating up a roster space..he has to go. brings nothing to the team..

by tfrabotta on Nov 23, 2008 1:15 PM CST up reply actions  

i like him

as #3 running back over jones. at least wolfe plays special teams, jones is never even on the field at all.

by lopey986 on Nov 23, 2008 1:16 PM CST up reply actions  

Wolfe is actually contributing

why jones was paid baffles me

"URLACHER IS GOD"....."PLAY-MAKERS STAND UP!!!!!"

by Acreman20 on Nov 23, 2008 1:17 PM CST up reply actions  

He

couldn’t break a tackle to save his life. no value except on special teams and wouldn’t you rather have someone that could fight off a blocker??

by tfrabotta on Nov 23, 2008 1:17 PM CST up reply actions  

i guess

but we are still talking about a #3 running back who is rarely going to see the field on offense and we have bigger problems than worrying about that spot.

by lopey986 on Nov 23, 2008 1:18 PM CST up reply actions  

I blame that on Turner

I think Angelo drafted him to be the third down scat back like the guy in Tampa who could also line up as a reciever. When they drafted him the said he was catching everything around him and then they never use him but on special teams.

by beardown on Nov 23, 2008 1:20 PM CST up reply actions  

looked like there might have been contact on his mask too

olsen was pushing as well

they were both clawing at each other, good no call in my opinon.

by lopey986 on Nov 23, 2008 1:14 PM CST up reply actions  

possibly offensive interference

but since olsen didn’t make the play they may have decided it didn’t make a difference in the outcome of the play and didn’t call it.

by lopey986 on Nov 23, 2008 1:17 PM CST up reply actions  

could they have challeneged that

if lovie hadn’t already pissed one away?

one per half or two per game?

by mike b on Nov 23, 2008 1:13 PM CST reply actions  

would've lost it

so glad we didn’t bother, because olsen didn’t have that ball at all.

by lopey986 on Nov 23, 2008 1:15 PM CST up reply actions  

Always good to remember there are teams far worse than the Bears

And that they do in fact get to play such bad teams from time to time.

by Ozzie Montana on Nov 23, 2008 1:13 PM CST reply actions  

like i said

if only we could play the lions and the rams every game for the rest of the year, we’d prolly win out n get the honor of getting our asses kicked in the playoffs.
