of course.
the kids a guard, so naturally the bear’s will be playing him at tackle. at least it wasn’t wr.
he will also be asked
to return kicks, play free safety on run downs, and play nickel on pass downs.
He also played a bit of tackle at LSU .

I'll be rocking it in the 4th phase!
It’s going to be crazy with the potential for all that snow. Hopefully, it slows down the Pats passing game.

I wish it wasn't so hard to get tix
I can’t seem to get there without dropping at least 2 bills these days.
Yeah
I have an inside source (Mom with season tickets), so I consider myself one of the lucky ones!

Yeah, like when they played in the snow in Europe last year!
Oh wait that was when Brady threw TDs and left at half. Maybe we should hope for no snow…
Vic Koenning is my homeboy.
New England weather
is just as bad as Chicago, I doubt the snow, wind, or Tsunami will affect Mr. Bieber too much.
Yep...
Snow and wind do not affect the Pats…I see most of their games up here..

From the Pompei article, on Jerry and Bill
“The good thing about it is we’re after really different players,” Belichick said. “Sometimes we talk about players who fit their system that we really aren’t that high on, or players that fit our system that he’s not that high on. Especially defensively.”
The Patriots run a 3-4 defense that relies on big bodies up front. A player like 325-pound nose tackle Vince Wilfork wouldn’t fit in Rod Marinelli’s defense.
I’m gonna call BS on that Wilfork comment.
right
the pats are after good players, JA is after…something.
My curiosity got the best of me
and I read the Pompei “article”. So Belichick likes Angelo, yay!!! Maybe the Pats will offer to buy out JA’s contract. Then again, if it weren’t for Jerry we wouldn’t have Peppers or Gould.
sorry, I’m having an out of body sarcasm episode
"Da Coach could part Lake Michigan by touching it with his big toe. The sod at Soldier Field could be repaired by simply planting a Ditka hair" - Chuck Norris
Wilfork has a quick first step
So, he’s one big man who might actually fit in a one-gap scheme. It’s not his best attribute, but he might decent.

I mean...
I’d think he’d project to a one technique pretty well. eat up blockers with that first step, get them turned and cause trouble.
He’s 325, big deal. He’s not a slow tubolard, has good hands (even if they are to people eyes).
Five foot three seems to thrive on his misery...

Be still my beating heart, Bellicheck actually has respect for our team.
I always forget, he’s not in the media, he IS actually an expert.
If you don't ask, you don't get. So get on with it already.

The Patriots are the best team in the NFL
A Bears win would catapult them to the top.

as much as a loss last week
would have invalidated the Bears’ season, a win this week would validate pretty much the whole season.
Grrr the Pats....
I been eyeing this game since the 2006 game where we barely loss and Tom Brady converted that first down and did his little dance. I want Pep to destroy him, even if we don’t get a statistical sack I don’t care, i wanna see Bieber eat grass that whole game. Everyone talks about the Patriots like they are immortal and quite frankly, i am very sick of ESPN and NFL Network’s man crush on the whole organization from the Owner to the ball boy. Please Bears, win this one for me and i will never beg you for a win ever again!!

brian should have had him
on that play. that sucked almost as bad as asante picking off bad sex cannon 3×.
by reefermadness3 on Dec 8, 2010 10:52 AM CST up reply actions
We were all around the TV like
OH YHEA! HE’S GOT HIM ONE ON ONE! HE’S GONNA EAT IT!
And then Brian got faked a little and slipped and Brady went right by him. Oh God there was swearing, so much swearing.
And it was terrible because Brady ran RIGHT AT HIM TOO.
The hole opened up the middle… 22 yards or something? It was bad.

i can feel the frustration still
i hope #54 doesn’t whiff on him again this sunday if a similar play comes up this time. not that i know the guy at all but i would guess he has thought about that play a bit in the past couple of days.
i think they scored the go-ahead/gw points on that same drive didn’t they? gaaaad.
by reefermadness3 on Dec 8, 2010 11:45 AM CST up reply actions
I remember that play
Brady kind of hunched over like he was about to slide, so Urlacher let up, not willing to take the 15 yard penalty in a close game. Then Brady cuts and runs past Urlacher.
God, I hope #54’s got that play on loop in the locker room while he’s chewing on bullets for breakfast.
No BS this week! Let’s throw down! Go Bears!

Yes it would
But the Packers would still be ahead of us in the ESPN Power Rankings.
by boondock_saint812 on Dec 8, 2010 10:51 AM CST up reply actions
The Packers will be ahead of us no matter what the circumstances
Even if we:
- beat the Pats by 40
- beat the Pack (at full strength, GB has no penalties, and Urlacher plays in his undies)
- win the division by 4 games
- say three “Hail Ditka’s” before every game
- plant Joe Morgan next to the Jack Brickhouse statue at Wrigley for good luck
"Da Coach could part Lake Michigan by touching it with his big toe. The sod at Soldier Field could be repaired by simply planting a Ditka hair" - Chuck Norris
Still not better than the Packers.

see that even if they won the Super Bowl they would be the most flawed and worse team to ever win the Super Bowl out there by some…..

What's odd...
is that the Pats defense is just awful, but yet they make just enough plays to make up for poor tackling and missed assignments. Still they are a top 5 team anyway you look at it. Not sure if the Bears have to win, but beating the Pats would be so nice!
I'd prefer not to have Lovie return...Unless we win the SB baby!!!!

Pats are a flawed team
Their defense doesn’t scare me; Jay and the o-line just have keep up their play from the last few weeks and they’ll be fine. if the Bears D remembers how to tackle again and holds the Patriots to field goals in the red zone, THE BEARS WILL WIN THE GAME.
by NorthSideBearsFan on Dec 8, 2010 1:16 PM CST up reply actions
yup, field goals is the key
we need to see shayne graham attempting field goals, because they will no doubt be in the red zone, just gotta keep em out of the end zone.
Sid Luckman
What a great player. I want his throwback jersey. I recently read a book where players and coaches talk about being a part of the Bears. Luckman was reluctant to play for the Bears at first and he hadn’t played QB in college but Halas convinced him. Halas offered him a lot of money (I don’t remember how much off the top of my head) but Halas said “The only people I’d pay this much money to play football are you, Red Grange and Jesus Christ.” Haha

One in 7 passes went for a touchdown
That’s just amazing
If he had as many attempts as Brady in 07, he would have had 83 (rounded) touchdowns. One of the greatest Bears of all time.
I was amazed by that stat too
Sid Luckman really was great. I very much enjoyed seeing that video again. All his accomplishments are all the more impressive knowing they’ve never been surpassed. Seven touchdowns in a game and 73-0!
the ever genius MJD from yahoo
I’ve got the Eagles overtaking the Bears for the second seed. I’ve been hating on the Bears this long, why stop now? Their last four games are New England, at Minnesota, the Jets and at Green Bay. There’s no way they aren’t losing at least two of those. I could even be talked into four.

Suh fined $15k for the hit on Sizzle
they are going to go nuts at P O D..
"Better lucky than Good", but we are good! We really are..
Lions fan here.......
Not to start a whole discussion, just curious, but what was the general thought over here about the hit?
In my opinion...
In slow motion clean hit…but in real speed it looked dirty as hell…I can see why it was called by Hochulli.

by WisBearsFan34 on Dec 8, 2010 4:48 PM CST up reply actions
It looked like the back of the head in real time
so its hard to blame the ref. But in slow motion it didn’t look like it. That he got fined after looking at it in slow mo is a shock becuase he clearly hit him in the shoulders. It is football after all..
"Better lucky than Good", but we are good! We really are..
Look at the replay in slo mo again.
The first thing that starts towards the ground is Sizzle’s head not his shoulders.
I didn’t think to much of the play didn’t bother me apparently didn’t bother Cutler either because he didn’t say any thing to the ref afterward. But I was glad to see Suh get hit with the penalty and the flag because you could clearly see what his intentions were. Plus he seems to play dirty too.
Adrian Pedestrian!! Now that's funny Mr. Bayless...
My opinion
I don’t think it would have changed the outcome of the game. I think momentum was swinging the Bears way and we would have at the least tied the game anyway, probably still got the TD.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.
in my opinion
if a regular DL hit him like that it probably would not have drawn a flag. instead it looked like king kong in human form pushed jay to the ground like he was a crumpled piece of paper. to me, the force of the push drew the bad call.
to fine kingkong/suh after seeing it was a bad call is terrible. just terrible. i mean really, this league is getting softer and softer each year. dick butkus would have been banned from this version of the nfl.

get to brady win game
if the bears d can get to brady its going to be a game changer and if the offense can play well and consistant the bears have a shot.. hoping marinelli gets the monsters of the midway pumped up..
have to admit the " pretty boy plays well" and plays with passion.. remember cleaveland beat them with their run game.. BEAR DOWN
like the way you type, i do
