Thoughts From NFL Week 10: Chicago Bears and Beyond

…as the Lions.
They are done.

to be the nfc’s representative in the superbowl. Of course I’m talking about, Da Bears.

And why are they taught to knock it down again?

Knock it down IF you can’t catch the ball!

1 – No because eli has a Super Bowl ring….Cutler does not…..

2 – Yes…..Horrific….

3- From my understanding pennington tried to give it ago with the shoulder but couldnt so was replaced…..Unless it was something I missed….

4- Ugh dont get me started….All I know is the tebow jersey will be the #1 Christmas gift wanted….Even more so than kinect or the wii…..

5- Dont tell that to raven fans…..

6- Liked troy smith and thought he sort of got shafted in balt but eh…..Making the most of it now….Can he save the 9ers season and Singletary job is the question I ask…..

7- Not a big jets fan since they get all kinds of coverage on ESPN but eh….Guess they are the Best team in the NFL now cause ESPN says so……And you will like it….

8- Im gonna go never…..Bigger question to me is “Is it the end of the carson palmer era in cincy?”……

9- Seen all the NFL “experts” say he did the right thing but man….Incredible…..

10- Well it was @ pitt…..Like brady rubbing it with that TD spike….Got a kick out of that for some reason…..

Say it isn’t so, is this the end of the Sex Cannon era.

the Pats absolutely dominate the Steelers defense? I get making some plays and scoring on a few bombs, but Benjarvis Green-Ellis-Cougar-Mellenkamp running like a mad man? This game was never even close. How does the “best team in football” (last week the Steelers) get beaten that badly by the next “best team in football”; especially when the Pats were BLOWN OUT by a basement dwelling Browns team the previous week? How do the NFC elite Giants lose that badly AT HOME? This season, as opposed to many past seasons, is WIDE OPEN. The fact that the Raiders or even the 49ers might make the playoffs doesn’t even begin to explain this year. The Bears may just have a singular opportunity that they cannot let get away.

Jake Delhomme’s contract with the Panthers look good.

im calling it now.

no, I don’t like Thursday night football. I think it’s one of those things that, if the owners/league were really concerned about injuries and player safety, they should abolish. That week is too short and doesn’t give guys enough time to heal up.

Pro Football is for Sunday afternoons, anything else throws off my internal clock.

It hoses over the teams for rest and prep time. That as it may be, the NFL would never give it up since they make extra cash from it.

Pennington out for season, Henne “more than likely out for season” and Thigpen to make first start in 2 years Thursday.

He’s not playing well lately, and to be honest, I see him continuing a steady decline.

The Giants ran into a newly motivated team. It happens to every team throughout the season.

They let the offense get away with push offs (roddy white, randy moss/to) but if a defensive players looks at a reciever funny they pull out the flag. It drives me crazy how much they have pushed offensive football. I say let them play or call physical play both ways you can’t just call it one way.

Completely agree that the Pats always come out strong after a loss. I was just talking about the Pats with a good friend who lives in Boston.

While you’ll never catch me betting against Bellichick and Brady, unless they are playing the all Ditka Payton team, last night the Steelers looked like the Patriots in the Browns game. That wasn’t the same type of play that I saw out of the Steelers earlier this year.

You always have to expect good play from a Bellichick coached Patriots team, but for some reason I am still thinking that the Pats are more vulnerable this year than they have been in the past.

I wonder if teams will eventually start to play the Pats different minus Moss. I’m not sure that they have a dominant jump ball type of receiver without Moss? Not that the Pats were a one trick offense or anything, but I thought that the Bears D that played against the Vikes, would have handled the Pats better than the Steelers did last night.

I predict a win against the Dolphins but the Eagles are going to be tough. The Bears D are going to need a perfect game plan

he’s playing like a legend. The Bears D has been able to contain him in the past by making him stay in the pocket, but he looks different this year. I’m not sure if they’ll be able to confuse him this season.

Kolb’s in Minnesota next year. Makes too much sense to happen.

That INT in the endzone was the only bad play by Jay all game it seems he is starting to get it. Only one sack but Minny put a lot of pressure on him he had to scramble around a lot in and out of the pocket. In NY the pressure was like turning the bulls loose in Paloma but Sunday he had room to move around in the pocket or get out of the pocket and keep the play alive. Very encouraging.
