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.

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.
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.
Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Chicago Bears fan.
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.
"A lot of fans were drawn to me because they knew that whatever the score was, I was going to run as hard as I could on every play. You don't have that now, you have guys waiting for next week or even next year." - Walter Payton
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.
Not just a sprained knee,
but also a hip pointer. Try them britches on for size…
You are all gentlemen (and ladies) and good judges of cheap whiskey.
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.
I understand your sentiments...
Maybe Briggs injury wasn’t as bad as it sounded though?
You are all gentlemen (and ladies) and good judges of cheap whiskey.
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.
