Bearsless Sunday: Week 15 Afternoon Open Thread

Nfl_medium
With the unsteady Chicago Bears matching up against the ailing Minnesota Vikings Monday Night, this afternoon is as good as any to have an open thread dedicated to the other games of the afternoon. 

Not sure what games you'll be getting locally? Check out the TV maps over at the506.com. I hope you wanted to watch Jets/Steelers.

There are a lot of games today that will have a significant impact on the postseason layout, which we'll have full analysis of tomorrow. As they say in newspaper parlance, join us below the fold for a look at some of the key matchups of the afternoon.

Star-divide

Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys
No playoff implications. I just wanted to point out again that DONOVAN MCNABB was benched in favor of REX GROSSMAN.
Kev Says: The Sex Cannon

New Orleans Saints at Baltimore Ravens
Both of these teams are in a playoff race, with the Saints looking to keep pace with the Falcons, and the Ravens hoping to catch the Steelers. This game will largely be determined by which Ravens team shows up - the one with the commanding defense and the solid offense, or the one that chokes up a bunch of points late like they did against Houston. New Orleans is just as capable as Houston, and has a better defense, too.
Kev Says: Ravens

Jacksonville Jaguars at Indianapolis Colts
The Colts have been plagued by the injury bug, and it has no doubt affected the chemistry of the entire offense. The Jaguars have been playing a lot better than many thought they would. (And they had a little help. Check out that Hail Mary one more time.) The Colts' stranglehold on the AFC South might end this season, and they're not in the playoffs otherwise. This game would be crucial in making that happen.
Kev Says: Jaguars

Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants
What more can I say? Not only will this game help decide the NFC East, it'll help decide the wildcards and the playoff seedings. Biggest game for Vick this season? Definitely. Biggest game for Baby Manning? Definitely. The team that wins this game is the team I least want to see in the playoffs. The Giants are absolutely pounding the rock lately.
Kev Says: Giants

Kansas City Chiefs at St. Louis Rams
I know virtually nothing about these teams, to be honest. KC needs to hold off the Chargers, and the Rams are fighting to stay in the ineptitude battle of the NFC West. Bradford is looking to be the answer for the Rams going forward, and the Chiefs need Cassel back. He'll be active today, but we'll see if he starts.
Kev Says: Chiefs

Detroit Lions at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Bucs still have slim hopes. The Lions do not. It's advantageous for the Bucs to get Detroit late, and they should get it done.
Kev Says: Bucs

New York Jets at Pittsburgh Steelers
The Jets are struggling to stay in the playoff race. The Steelers are fighting off the Ravens, and still in the hunt for a #1 seed. Sanchez has been regressing lately, the Steelers are on a four game win streak. It goes to five today.
Kev Says: Steelers

What do you think? Sound off, enjoy, and be excellent to each other.

However both Peppers and Izzy have more sacks as individuals, Peppers has 8 and Izzy has 7. Alex Brown was such a leader and a great player, but his time was over when Peppers came into the scene, as sad as it is.

He wasn't exactly left with a whole lot of options....

50 secs and 0 timeouts. But it was an ill-advised pass, as well.

I think he still justified the switch. He did a hell of a lot better against the ’Boys than McNabb did. Actually, he did better than McNabb did in any game this season. Maybe now the stupid talking heads will quite with the “disrespect” story line.

even

if it ends up being only the already paid 4 mil, no idea why they did that in the first place.

rex is a practice mvp, so i’m not shocked he could give them pause, but still, weird move on the contract.

by mike b on Dec 19, 2010 3:14 PM CST up reply actions  

I honestly believe that Rex always had the tools but .....

his consistency was far too up and down and he had a better O at the time than Jay does now. He also let himself get far too rattled and he made poor decisions. Maybe he has turned a corner but that remains to be seen. Shanahan is going to draft a QB for him to groom but Rex played great today.

and a 10 cent head was what a lof of the talk out of flordia was back then.

good job of summing up. That is about as close as I could get to describing how I feel about Tebow too. I don’t particularly like him, but like you, that isn’t Tebow’s fault. It has more to do with how the media machine is going to try so hard to turn him into a money making machine for them.

For all I know Tebow could be a great guy or a complete a%&hole, doesn’t really matter because he has already been selected by the media and NFL to be a poster boy regardless. I’m sure he will sell a lot of jerseys.

I rec'd her for the last sentence.

I like Tebow and I couldn’t care less what the media does. I don’t know any of these people personally, and I won’pretend to believe that the media is giving me anything other than what they want me to see for every player in the league.

Look at how they framed McNabb this week. They made him a victim when he was really just a victim of his own play. They made ait about respect instead of about the game. If I went with what the media did, I’d be hating on McNabb right now. But McNabb didn’t do it. He stayed his usual classy self and avoided it all. I choose to make up my own mind.

But Allie’s last comment was what I rec’d. i thought it was about as honest and funny as it gets. I loved it!

I rec'd it

mostly for the reasons that I already stated above, though I guess the line that you are talking about is funny, I’m not sure personally, that I would have rec’d it just for that.

I don’t know how McNabb was portrayed in the media this week, but at this point I always expect him to stay classy. That is what he has always done, why would he change now? Tebow might stay classy too, it happens, sometime the business side of the NFL and other sports annoys me. It’s not even that it annoys me, but more like, every once in a while the inherent greed in the system becomes visible enough that it turns me off a little. With Tebow this is what I see, he is being groomed so that his image makes money for the fat cats. I guess that is OK, but sometimes I think the money takes away from the game.

Interesting stats....

Denver’s collapse was all Orton’s fault right? I mean, the team went from scoring 22 points per game in the 6-0 opening to 19 points per game in the 2-8 remaining games.

Of course, that 2-8 has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Denvers Defense was allowing only 11 points per game in the first 6 games (1st in the league) and 24 points per game in the 10 game collapse (24th in the league and bottom 10).

But you’re right. The offenses 3 points per game slip was far worse than the defense more than doubling the points allowed by adding 13 per game……right?

I'm not saying the collapse was all Orton's fault

By that’s my point. NOTHING is his fault. He isn’t the reason they win or lose. He’s not a factor at the most important position on the field. He’s just…Blah.

It’s why he’s been traded once and probably again. I had to watch Orton fans bring up his W/L record up like it actually meant something. Now that his W/L record is flattening out, people want to now talk about his defense and other crap. No one wanted to talk about that great ‘05 defense that carried him back when he sucked as a rookie so let’s not do it now.

 Like I said in the beginning, he is who he is.

Hey Rose. I don't see the appeal!

by Dils on Dec 19, 2010 4:48 PM CST up reply actions  

Actually....

I just spent a whole bunch of time over the past few days talking about the ’05 defense that carried him. I agree completely.

But as f’ed up as it is to give him the credit for ‘05, it’s just as bad to pretend he’s the same QB. He’s not. He has won games with his arm. The only win’s Denver has this season were won on Orton’s arm. In their 3 wins, Kyle was 72 for 119 for 944 yards, 8 TDs and 1 INT. His defense averaged giving up 21 points per game in those wins but the offense averaged 35 points per game. With no running game at all. BTW, the Denver defense this season is ranked 32nd in points allowed or, last, in other words.

I will continue to talk about the defenses roll in Kyle Win/loss record, now and in 2005, because it is relevant, and will always be relevant. I’m not calling Orton even a top 10 QB. But he ain’t the same guy who played here, and it just gets on my nerves to listen to people erroneously throw out descriptions of his skill set that are 5 years old. Give the guy credit where it’s due. He has improved and is a legitimate NFL QB. He ain’t Tom Brady, but he’s pretty damned good, now.

I am just sick...

and tired of people comparing Orton’s stats to Jay’s stats. I like Orton, but the poor guy is always getting hosed. He is a Dilfer type of QB. Maybe, he is a little better than Dilfer. However, he is made to be a back up QB, that is it. He does not have all of the tools. That is why Tebow is starting. He has a lot of potential.

With some more tutelage, he will be a TOP 10 QB. He will never be any better than that but, that classifies him as a franchise QB.

by Mandingo54 on Dec 19, 2010 5:29 PM CST up reply actions  

That's what pisses me off.

He was a dilfer style QB in 2005. Not today. People need to quit living in the past. Orton has developed into a decent QB. Not great. And Orton and Jay play for two different teams.

See, your problem is in assuming that this conversation has anything to do with Jay Cutler or another QB.

Orton is now a quality starter. He’s not the same guy who managed Chicago in ‘05 or struggled after a ankle injury in ’08. He can actually win games for a team. In fact, he’s been inportant to all three of Denver’s wins this year, thoring over 60%, for over 900 yards, 8 TDs and 1 INT in those games. In fact, if Denver had even a decent defense instead of the 32st ranked defense in the league, Denver would have a winning record.

My point throught this whole thread is that if you think Orton is the game manager he was when he was here, you are wrong and you are living in the past. He’s not an elite QB, or even a top 10 QB. But he’s a good starter who would be starting on a lot of teams in the league.

Then again, I can kind of understand how we Bears fans would have problems understanding the concept of player development, considering how long it’s been since we’ve seen it.

I beg to differ...

Orton is still a game manager, just with more talent around him. He cannot will a team to victory when they are down. He does not have the skills to accomplish this task. That is why he was benched in favor of Tebow. Everyone knows that he has minimal NFL talent.

In addition, I am sick of the excuse that he is injured and that is why Tebow is starting. I think it is due to the butt kicking that he received last week. That’s right, if he was a what you call a “Quality Starter” then he would of won them that game just like many others.

by Mandingo54 on Dec 19, 2010 5:46 PM CST up reply actions  

And I'm sick of losses...

like that being entirely the QBs fault if you want them to be, but if Jay has the same loss, it was all about the liine, the defense, the running game and the WRs.

Orton has talent around him? Really? He has the same WR he had in Chicago as his leading WR. He’s the third most sacked QB in football. his rushing offense is ranked 29th, 4 places lower than ours and Martz wasn’t even calling runs for the first half of the season. Brandon Marshall is gone and Eddie Royal disappeared. So what talent are you talking about?

Like I said, you are living in the past. Orton is not the same guy.

And, funny enough, if not for Orton’s talent, Washington would have Jay Cutler, not us.

Game managers don’t throw fro 300 yards and 4 TDs. But Good QBs do have bad days.

Big Ben hasn't looked great today

overthrowing a lot of receivers. Course, he could come back and light up the Jets in the 2nd half.

Intriguing playoff machine scenario

We lose to the Packers, but beat the Jets and Vikes
Packers lose to the Pats, but beat the Giants
Giants, after two demoralizing losses, get Sex Cannoned in Week 17
Saints beat Bucs, Falcons game doesn’t matter

Pack slips in as the 6th seed and plays the 3rd seeded Bears at Soldier Field in Round 1

(If we lose to the Vikes, we’d play the same game at Lambeau)

Very strange considering the Bears aren’t playing today.

Glad to see Vick carry me in fantasy today! The Eagles winning actually helps the Bears.

I actually prefer to comment when the Bears are NOT playing

I miss a play here and there watching the wrong screen and thats unacceptable during a Bear game, non Bears games I dont care if I miss a down here and there so I am free to talk nonstop trash on WCG.

I'm the same way

Too much to watch when the Bears are playing, and this blog can be distracting.

Any beer suggestions?

For the Pats-Packers game tonight? I’m thinking one of Boulevard’s winter brews, but I’m open to suggestions. Can’t have too many tonight, so I’m going with quality over quantity.

Used to be in Iowa, and from there ...

Ah.

I’m in CA so know the microbrew landscape a lot better out here.

One seasonal suggest is Snow Cap by Pyramid, brewed down the street from my and DeSean Jackson’s alma mater. Very wide distribution outside CA.

Another is Jubelale from Bend, OR’s Deschutes Brewery, makers of Black Butte Porter and Mirror Pond. http://www.deschutesbrewery.com/brews/seasonal-ales/jubelale/default.aspx

Non-seasonal, if you like IPAs, and you haven’t had Fire Stone Union Jack, then you haven’t had the best. Dunno how widely Fire Stone’s beers are distributed, but BevMo or Binny’s should carry it.

Wow

I do wish I was in Cali or the Northwest – lots of awesome microbreweries there and my buddies taunt me all the time about how spoiled they are.

Great suggestions, gaffer, thanks much! I wrote them down and will take them with me along with Propheteer’s suggestion, to the liquor store tonight.

It's funny.

I’ve lived on the West Coast for 10 years and I never run out of delicious new beers to try. Then when I get home to Chicago all I want to do is drink Old Style. Go figure.

He is a discipline problem and you know how the Bears front office hates these types

The Bengals have taken over for the Raiders on landing spots for maligned NFL stars so expect Edwards in Cincy in the next couple years.

Anybody following the "Chris Kluwe speaks truth to power" storyline?

Makes me significantly less enthusiastic about the Ol’ fashioned football we Bears are about to experience.

Kluwe:

“The field is as hard as concrete an hour and a half after they took the tarp off, and anyone that hits their head is getting a concussion. … I find it interesting that the NFL can claim an emphasis on player safety, and then tell us the field is fine. It’s beyond hypocritical. … I can only hope, however unlikely, that no one gets catastrophically injured at the trainwreck that’s about to take place tomorrow night.”

He really can’t make it more clear. Here’s the article.

Bear in mind that Kluwe was the first to tweet a pic of the Metrodome starting to sag late Sat night

The man has a decent record of accurately predicting doom at this point.

Denver's defense let's down another QB.....

The Denver D crapped in the pool at Tim Tebow’s coming out party. Tebow has done pretty good for his first start in the NFL. He came out on fire, but did nothing in the second half, while the leagues worst scoring defense allowed another 39 points under 4 minutes left.

The Bronco’s didn’t ask him to do a lot, and down by 16 points I don’t see Tebow carrying this team to a win. I liked how he looked, though. He’s one tough SOB. Needs to work on his accuracy. Damn is he mobile, though.
