A note for Ron Turner.
I know you are probably still mad at me for making fun of you and your play calling all last year and this year… I have a request or a small favor. And you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to. I figured this might be your farewell tour so just once before the end of the season unleash the dragon…..

Early line on the "dragon"
5 rec, 197 yds, 3 TDs.

maybe
Maybe Pace still has a scrap of his all-pro mojo left and will use it against Jared Allen. I like to think the old war horse can still call it up.

Pace vs. Allen
This may get ugly fast. JA plays with a great motor, leverage, and speed; I foresee Pace shoved many times into Cutler. Everyone keep their collective fingers crossed!

Maybe
Maybe not. Allen is tall and plays high. Pace seems to struggle more against really strong guys who come in low. Allen isn’t that heavy, although he’s really fast.
I’d worry more about the Vikes tackles just caving in our middle than I would about Jared running around the corner.
Any way you look at it, it’s a tough day for the offensive line.
Chip Block his ass.....
He is a good pass rusher but if you address him with a chip block or straight double hes as average as Demarcus Ware when chip blocked!
McNeil
I hope his reports are true about the Bears brass reaching out to Shanny, Gruden, and Cowher. Any one of those three coaches will do, and would jump at the chance to be the man in Chicago. While they’re at it, get Holmgren to be the GM.

Well if we get Cowher.
JA can stay GM he seems like a push over. We were drafting good D players when Rivera was there. So if we get Cowher we would probably get who ever he wanted.
Cower as head coach
And Holmgren (or really anybody who knows football) as GM would be a nice holiday gift from the McCaskeys to the Chicago Bears’ fans.

Yes it would
If not, unfortunately we’re looking at a similar ’10 season.

just like my turkey and stuffing was last night......
The bears are DONE!! Minn is going to abuse them like a red-headed step child. Plain and simple

I really wanna see the Bears go to a 3-4 defense.
I’d love to see Cowher. Would shanny take a OC job?Probley not.

No
but he may take a job without complete GM control.
I agree about the switch to a 3-4 defense; I think Gaines Adams might be a terror as an OLB in the scheme.

WOW
Corey Graham who has been pretty good every time he has come finally gets a shot. WTF I want to know what they are watch when they decide who should get playing time.
you're going to the dome on sunday?
you are a brave soul. not because of the enemy fans but to watch a likely first-rate drubbing of the bears in person takes a high level of nausea control.
I know.
It’s gonna be interesting, to say the least. But, I’m excited to watch Cutler….I have to be excited about something, right?
I'M A MAN! I'M 23!
and I thought
it will be embarassing to watch another nationally televised game of a Bears drubbing. Good luck Chifan!

true that
hopefully you will be lucky enough to end up sitting near one of the 5 girls (yes you in fact can count them all on one hand) that can be considered legitimate eye candy amongst the sea of sweathogs that pass for de wimmen up there.
hope you drop a line about your dome experience next week; one of these years me and the missus plan on watching a game up there

Yeah?
Where do you live currently?
I’ll definitely let ya know how it goes….I’m expecting the worse from both the fans and the game. Could be a long afternoon.

chicago - logan square neighborhood
calling their girls sweathogs is the best/worst i came up with as there isn’t much pro-bears smack to talk up for the game

The nice thing about Viking fans (yes they have their good points)
they aren’t very passionate about their team. They kind of cheer for their team but without any zeal or zest. I’ve only attended three Bears games in the dome but for the most part, I saw nearly enough Bear fans to feel almost welcome. At times it felt like we were playing on a neutral field. If they talk any smack, and very few of them will, simply ask them if they’ve lost any super bowls lately. That usually subdues them a bit.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
Please
Do not start the “We are better fans” argument, IMO it looks pitiful. Even if its true it does not matter one bit.
Just stating my opinion. I personally think Bears fans are overzealous and take the game WAAAAAY to seriously.
But we are better fans. ;)

what the f
ok just reading through articles and wtf pompei? not that there’s anything wrong with that but the headline to your article reads “jared allen more than a mouthful”. i’m kind of afraid to ask how pompei knows this to be true?
