Why

Would he want to wear sleeves in the islands?

by T.Moore on Dec 9, 2009 6:33 AM CST up reply actions

He understands our defense so well he actually is another coach

which means when his career is over, we’ll let GB, Det, or Min have him as a coach

That bodybuilder’s being signed up to beef up Gaines Adams. No joke.

I trade Briggs

ONLY if he could bring a legit #1 WR

power rankings are a joke....

I stopped watching them when I realized that the writers love the packers, and won’t move the Bears up after a win.(Both espn and SI have not moved the bears up after a win in the past)

ESPN

Hates the bears.I know they are bad but why hate on them?They seem to love the Browns more than us.

by T.Moore on Dec 9, 2009 11:30 AM CST up reply actions  

ESPN has always hated the bears, the only people on there who don’t are Golic and Greenberg.

by Pretender85 on Dec 9, 2009 12:38 PM CST up reply actions  

And Skip Bayless

Mainly now because he and Jay went ro vanderbilt

by T.Moore on Dec 10, 2009 7:48 AM CST up reply actions  

They all knocked us

for not going for a Franchise QB when we had Orton last year, and when we traded, all of a sudden we made a bad move… screw ESPN

ESPN hates everyone that isn't Tom Brady or Ben Roethlisberger.

No band-wagoner fans allowed, pick a team and stick with em, throughout the good and the bad.

More power

to the body building guy. He actually looks real. Not like a carrot on steroids. Ick.

Why is Briggs Playing?

1 1/2 weeks is not enough time to heal a sprained knee. Jamar Williams did fine (yeah, I know it was the Rams) last week.

by TrialsBass on Dec 9, 2009 6:44 PM CST reply actions  

Not just a sprained knee,

but also a hip pointer. Try them britches on for size…

I made a similar comment about Pisa

I have a “sprained knee” and have to wear a hinged brace for 6 weeks or have surgery. Even if it’s a mild sprain, why would you risk Tinoisamoa Briggs going out there with a weak joint and having someone wreck his knee. Briggs is the best player we have right now and I would hate to see him have chronic problems over a game that doesn’t have any playoff implications. Better that we are a healthy team next year. Besides I want to see J. Williams against a team that isn’t among the dregs of the NFL.

by TrialsBass on Dec 9, 2009 7:23 PM CST up reply actions  

I understand your sentiments...

Maybe Briggs injury wasn’t as bad as it sounded though?

by Dane Noble on Dec 9, 2009 7:28 PM CST up reply actions  

I suppose

Truthfully it doesn’t actually sound too bad. They didn’t say it was a ligament tear, and they didn’t specify the injured ligament (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL.) There are a series of (torture) tests performed to diagnose knee injuries, and I don’t think Briggs would have been allowed to return in the Vikings game if he had a tear.

Again, the issue for me is the chance of re-injury with a ligament (as opposed to a muscle injury, concussion, etc…) especially since the knee is a weight-bearing joint.

With Briggs, there’s more chance of an upset victory or, at least, keeping it to a respectable loss. Anything to alleviate criticism of the top brass.
