Since the Bears don't play until tonight, thought it would be cool to throw up a general open thread, so you are not deprived of talking football.

Some of the marquee games today, other than our tangle with the Packers tonight are:

Miami @ Atlanta

Philadelphia @ Carolina

Washington @ NY Giants

Funniesy quote of the weekend...

On the Brown’s Blog, where RB James Davis got injured in a car accident yesterday:

Good Lord, this is the worst news for the Browns since the middle of last season. Hopefully it is nothing major.
Good thing, I was almost actually feeling positive going into tomorrow- glad that is out of the way.

the Eagles in their matchup with the Panthers today since I live in the Charlotte area, for the November 22nd game with the Bears. Plus it will keep me semi occupied while waiting for tonights contest.

Eagles/Panthers

Eagles already looked like they are missing Brian Dawkins, not only his play but his leadership and fire. Good for us in the NFC run me thinks. And as i type this deangelo just scampered in for a 10 yard TD.

Reflecting on Pace v. Demuerville

Is there a blocking scheme (RB) that picks up or doubles their RE

Eagles/panthers

Did you just see Desean Jackson’s punt return? That is one of the guys on the Eagles that worries me.

by Chitownproduct on Sep 13, 2009 12:55 PM CDT reply actions

I dont care what anyone says

I would love it if Benson was the backup RB here. He’s looking great today

Dal/TB

Cowgirls look really out of sync. I heard all morning how this year they were playing T.O and baggage free but right now, they are stinking it up. They are not a better tea without T.O. imo

NO/DET

Drew Brees is a darn freak of nature. 4 TDs in 1 Half?

Jake Delhomme should be frying chicken at Bojangles instead of doing commercials for them....

Jeebus he sucks donkey sausage..

by Syndor on Sep 13, 2009 1:33 PM CDT reply actions

I am very curious..

who the backup QB is for Carolina. The way Delhomme is playing..he is not only not going to last the rest of the season..he may not last rest of this game.

by Chitownproduct on Sep 13, 2009 1:35 PM CDT up reply actions

I can't stand the guy on the field for some reason.

He so damn overrated it’s not even funny. Not sure who his backup is but he can’t be any worse…

by Syndor on Sep 13, 2009 1:43 PM CDT up reply actions

and..

they just game him $20mm for 4 years. WTF were they thinking??

by tfrabotta on Sep 13, 2009 1:36 PM CDT up reply actions

That's probably why those guys in the front office resigned.

Did I mention he sucks..

by Syndor on Sep 13, 2009 1:40 PM CDT up reply actions

I'm glad to see that the Vikes have fixed their special teams.

by Syndor on Sep 13, 2009 1:44 PM CDT reply actions

Riddle me this..

Is Detroit still really that bad…or is Dree Brees gonna break like every passing record this year?

Yes

Drew Brees

I played him in both of my fantasy leagues today, I will probably loose both games. I hate that guy right now…

Wow. Kyle Orton & Broncos just got reaaaaal lucky.

Bengals tipped the ball and Shockley is at the right place at the right time and runs like 50 yards for the TD.

by GoCubbies34 on Sep 13, 2009 3:04 PM CDT reply actions

Stokley

Shockley’s a mutt or something between a Shockey and a Stokley. :-P

That play was insane though. Felt like some kind of karma make up for the gut punch in ATL last year.

I swear

Kyle Orton has horseshoes in his nuts because honestly he may have played himself to 3rd string today with his performance.

by Dils on Sep 13, 2009 3:06 PM CDT reply actions

After the "high" of a lucky win wears off

Bronco fans are going to wake up to the reality that Orton is their QB and that performance will be par for the course

Peanut

Is Chuck Tillman going to be a game time decision?

by Da Sassage on Sep 13, 2009 4:04 PM CDT reply actions

Well...

After watching the Eagles Panthers game I have to say Philly looks scary good. Absolutely pimp slapped the Panthers up and down the field. The only negative out of the contest for the Eagles was Mcnabb breaking a rib on his touchdown run. I have a feeling this team is going to have to be dealt with come the end of the regular season.

don’t know if fitz is hurt but he is playing. Cant believe the Broncos luck they should have lost( i was hoping they’d lose). I’m ready for the game to start. Go BEARS!!!!!!

by chigrl on Sep 13, 2009 6:21 PM CDT reply actions

Wow almost game time

I guess D.A wont play tonight kinda A bummer, Peanut Tillman is playing so that’s A big plus. I cant wait to shut up the we have no receivers critics. I am very nervous about this game it seems like forever to get to the season opener.
