Around SBN: Shaq As Orlando Magic General Manager? Don't Bet On It

Week 11: Sunday Football Afternoon Open Thread

We'll see this guy in a few weeks. Feel free to talk about his hair, or his football prowess, or how the Bears will win, here. Or talk about the other football games. Later on, talk about how scary Michael Vick's running ability is while you watch the Giants travel to Philadelphia. It's a Bearsless Sunday, but at least they got a victory on Thursday!

I did thoroughly enjoy seeing Seymour punch Big Ben Roethlisberger in the face today.

Maybe he propositioned Seymour and, after the reports of how difficult it is to turn Big Ben down, that was Seymour’s emphatic way of saying “No!”

Hope no one had vince young on their FFT
As Young was leaving LP Field, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports Young threw his shoulder pads into the stands as he left the field. Minutes later, he left the locker room in street clothes.

"Safety Michael Griffin, wearing only a pair of shorts, ran out of the locker room and chased Young up a ramp to the players’ parking lot, but was unable to catch him," Wyatt writes.

Didn't Fisher like Cutler in the draft?

I heard he was never that much of a VY guy to begin with, and the owner pretty much overruled him. Not sure if he liked Leinart. Honestly, those coaches had VY playing better than VY has any business playing.

by Dick Butka on Nov 21, 2010 5:40 PM CST up reply actions  

From what I read, he was pro-Young all the way

Shanahan had called him to ask about Cutler (as Vandy is in Nashville), and Fisher gave him his highest recommendation, saying that he had already settled on Young and that Cutler would be great in Denver.

by juperee on Nov 21, 2010 6:21 PM CST up reply actions  

It wasn't an ill-advised throw

It was just a badly thrown one. II was talking about his mentality to try to win the game instead of running the ball 3 times and trying to kick a field goal. Even great QBs are going to make bad throws.

Yeah but it worked!

or throws that are good

by awfullyquiet on Nov 21, 2010 6:39 PM CST up reply actions  

I agree with the mentality part

Jay has it, but needs to reel it back a little in order for him to realize his talent.

Manning kind of rushed the throw when all he needed to do was step up in the pocket. I guess we can’t really complain too much about his decision-making though, but if not for a complete collapse by the Bears offense in SB 40 he’d have zero titles.

Or Manning marching his

team back of repeat drives with less than 5mins to play while Brady had an INT dropped on his second to last drive when he could have put the game away ans never gave Manning another shot. That’s the funny thing about Luck, It can be good and bad. There’s no shame in Manning failing to get it done today. Without him, they would’ve lost by 2 Tds.

Yeah but it worked!

by juperee on Nov 21, 2010 6:28 PM CST reply actions  

quick story: like an andy reid team with mike vick at the helm.

it’s curious to watch, and frankly a little scary. they’re fast on offense, and their defense has the capability to really hurt. right now, i don’t think anyone is playing better than them. their corners suck with an extreme amount of prejudice, their secondary is medicore at best.

How our o-line handles Trent Cole, and beats the contain will dictate how well we do on offense.

Defense? Pray that we can catch everyone, that the safeties play smart, keep the big play out of the hands of desean jackson and maclin… always keeping an eye on vick… I like the fact that the bears are fast enough to probably reduce the damage done by vick on his feet…

Also, don’t really pay attention to the Giant’s offense… with so many linemen out and/or hurting, this may be like watching the miami game.

That may be the case...

But… Peanut vs ??? (eagles wideout behind door #2) = bad matchup.

Their speed = Safeties have to play flawless cover 2/3. I like the matchup, but at the same time, there are parts that you’d want to worry about, most specifically covering Desean Jackson. He seems stupid fast sometimes. It’s really though, how can we prevent the deep game (which is weird, considering it’s an Andy Reid coached team we’re talking about).

Peppers and Idonije have to have brilliant nights too not only containing the pocket, but pressuring Vick… Really though, every single position needs to play tough to play a team like this. I think this is probably the toughest team the Bears will face all year, just from a ’who’s hot right now’ sort of perspective. Yeah, we match up well insofar as speed, but, containing Vick is all about disrupting the pocket, keeping it between the hashmarks. Lots of cover 2 and disrupting Maclin and Jackson’s timing.

Especially the O-line. Giants have a good pass rush (we saw that in an ugly way) and they haven’t touched Vick so far. Hope our front four is up to the challenge.

No. Personally for me

tired of hearing the BS “Bears are so lucky every team they play is banged up” crap….

Five foot three seems to thrive on his misery...

Elroy Jetson is the QB of the future.

Well, I'm sure I'd feel much worse if I weren't under such heavy sedation.

Bring it.

I’d rather be underrated than overrated.

A forearm or a hand? Really??

What’s this world coming to? How about a fumble is a fumble.

Yeah but it worked!

I agree

Too bad the loss had to come at the expense of the Pack, but still excellent stuff. The Eagles look beatable. The Giants just shot themselves in key situations. If we can contain Vick, we should be good. Atlanta should be able to handle Green Bay too.

48 minutes of intensity

those skill players the eagles have

are freaking extremely good. between maclin, mccoy and jackson there is plenty for the bears to gameplan for.

im not worried

eagles are fast… but i noticed something
most of there most dangerous plays took between 4-5 seconds to develop… crazy if you think any team has had that much time to throw on us.. people beat us with short slants dink and dunk not the deep crosses and outs the eagles like to run to open the field for vick

Yep

Containing Vick will prevent those big plays from developing down the field. Peanut just needs to not get burned deep; he has issues with peaking into the backfield far too often.

"He's a great candidate," Ryan said. "If I hadn't made him drop in coverage so often on running backs, he might be the all-time sack leader. They call it zone blitzing nowadays. We called it, 'Richard, pick him up.'" - Buddy Ryan on Richard Dent's HOF chances.

Unfortunately the Giants secondary is better than ours

as is their rush..LB’s need to play a huge game.

unfortunately no

the giants secondary isnt better than ours
their pass rush is but its also different from ours
the giants rush is dependant on big physical lineman more so finesse guys
the bears are a finesse team on defense with good speed everywhere but chris harris
the best thing for chicago to do is contain the wr’s in the secondary and force vick to beat briggs and urlacher running the ball
