I don't think that Peppers is the Defensive Player of the Year
I t think he is the MVP.

On another note
if my ears did not fail me, I heard Cowherd pick the Bears.
He spent the previous day slobbering all over Brady.
Every year, he calls the Bears smoke and mirrors.
Being Who You Thought We Were Since 2005!
Yup, every freakin' year... And go figure
All season (in the eyes of the media majority) the Bears have been lucky. We’ve been called frauds (mostly by Herd).
The Calvin Johnson undone-TD, 18 penalties (Packers), Asante’s hurt, that field is terrible, etc…
The Bears have heard it all and have been enjoying the underdog/you really do suck role this year.
Then of course, the week the Bears play the best team in the NFL, they’re the upset pick of the week. Unfreakin’ believable!!!
Don’t think for a second that Hoody McFilmsalott isn’t letting his team know, that some experts believe his team will be to tired to beat the Bears.
bill simmons
podcast when mentining this game it was only talked about as a trap loss, not a mention of the pats gettign flat out beat. i would expect to hear that nationally if the bears do win.
I heard the same thing on ESPN radio by someone

Well that does make me feel better
I like this team more, when there’s a chip on their shoulder.
Desmond Clark tweets that he might see the field Sunday:
Just getting to work. Another late start for me usually here before 7. I might see the field this week. Seriously…. Special teams.
Reading his tweets lately
You can tell he’s pissed but he’s trying to go about it without causing a stir. I’m sure it’s difficult for him to have to sit back and not bitch about it because that will only make it worse.

"We feel very good about this football team. We felt very good about our football teams in the past and it's no different. You've got to go out there and you've got to do it."

That video...
Is embarrassing… but he did say something about the over, so he probably won a bet. More understandable if that’s the case.
tom brady just opened up
a traumatic experience that i had suppressed for a long time.
Q: This is a different stadium than you have played in. I don’t think you’ve played in Soldier Field?
Brady: No, we played in Champaign the last time we were supposed to play in Chicago. That was a hell of a game.
Q: Barely pulled it out.
Brady: Yeah, we were down 11 with four minutes left and came back and beat them. That was pretty special,
went to almost all the games at memorial stadium that year and that one was the worst by far. even worse than the 15-0 borefest against the bucs at the end of the year. i believe my limited vocabulary fails to describe the utter disgust and complete deflation i, my friends, and pretty much every other bears fan there were overfilled with upon leaving the game. please halas deliver the faithful a win against the pats this weekend.

I was there too
in addition to having a bench style seats, and losing a game they easily should’ve won, seeing the Bears in Champaign was just stupid. Why in the world did they choose that over Northwestern or even NIU?
those seats were the worst
they just guaranteed fights. i agree, either one of those two schools would’ve been a much better choice.
by reefermadness3 on Dec 9, 2010 10:08 AM CST up reply actions
every game that season was a road game
Lambeau is probably closer to Halas Hall than Memorial Stadium
I was at least entertained
all those downstaters with their funny accents… I figured the move was to try and “expand” the franchise ala the Pack playing half their home games in Milwaukee for a long time.

I think it's the biggest of those 3
I could be wrong and I’m not going to look it up right now, but that would be my guess. Trust me, no one would have wanted to go to NIU either, I went to a MAC school and MAC stadiums and no good for professional football. It would have to be a big conference school or nothing.

I went to NIU
It’s got a decent stadium but there’s no way they could’ve supported a Bears game. Would’ve been cool if it happened – I was in school in 2002

I think everyone forgets ND too...
I would have hated it… but, i think that may have been even better.
Five foot three seems to thrive on his misery...
went to the 15-0 game
and then the soriety girls we were promised never materialized. terrible night.
that is very bogus
after the game i was accosted by four guys who seemed like they wanted my wallet or something worse. i threw one punch at the closest one and ran like the wind through the snow. looked back after 100 yards or so and they were just standing around their friend on the ground instead of chasing me which makes me think i made a poor decision. crap.
i still feel kind of bad about that one. somehow i worked it out where i can blame the bears for that because they made me drink so much that night due to their extreme awfulness that year.
but back on topic, you know what would have been a different/interesting approach to playing “home” games in 2002? don’t play them all at the same stadium. one here, two there, one somewhere else, etc. they could cover all the regional colleges that way. while there are drawbacks of course to this idea it still seems somewhat innovative and at least make for a more interesting version of the disastrous ’02 squad.

We need to match up Moore...
with welker or branch and have Manning cover Woodhead. In addition, send an extra blitzer right up the middle, (preferably not on Mankin’s side) and flush Tommy out of the pocket so Izzy and Pep can eat him alive. We have to force Tommy out of the pocket to win this game. We have to force him to throw intermediate and deep routes while on the run. He is excellent throwing short passes on the move.
Yeah man gotta make him scramble
He’s slow as molasis and we have very fast LBs and some of THE fastest Dlinemen in te league. The only problem is that the Pats have a very gifted Oline. It’ll be tough, but if our DTs can get constant up the middle pressure, then our DEs will dominate
13. It's a magic number
Blitzing is not the answer
not that we can’t ever blitz, but the pressure is going to have to come from the front 4. We’ll need everyone else to drop back and TACKLE to prevent YAC.
I agree that DJ Moore will have to have a huge game. Hell, everyone needs a career game this week!

Mmmmm turf. It’s delicious.
Please sir, may I have some more?

So you guys...
are saying to give Tommy all day to throw. We have to collapse the middle. That is where he likes to hang out.
pssst...
it’s called sarcasm…

As slow as molasses, you say?

~~~ Check my profile for links for SB20 and America's Game: '85 Bears ~~~
but that slow fella sure can put the moves on Brian Urlacher
as this link will attest to
Urlacher has been replaying that move for years now… revenge will be his…

I was just started to wonder.
Did something happen to Gale Sayers I haven’t heard anything out of him or maybe he just puts his face in the news when **** is all bad.
Adrian Pedestrian!! Now that's funny Mr. Bayless...
Suh does not deserve a fine!
If he hits Cutler 3 inches lower then there isn’t even a penalty……
There's no substitute for guts.
-Paul Bear Bryant
by I love football! on Dec 9, 2010 12:45 PM CST reply actions
then again he could have simply tackled him
Then again a hit 3 inches lower would have meant a hit to the back, and it’s illegal to block in the back, and since Suh essentially delivered a block with his hand punch he may have still drew a fine

Yeah but it wasn't a block,it was a poor excuse for a tackle.......
People push the QB down all the time……I don’t mind the Penalty I just think the fine is a bit much……..If this happened last year we wouldn’t even be talking about it…….

Hmmm
Surprised Angelo didnt say "Well you know this is when we start looking D line men for next years draft……
If any Bears O line men make it to the pro bowl the system is broken…..
Liked this part of the brady interview ……
We played in Soldier Field in 2000. I didn’t play. I went to the game. I was eating nachos I think. We didn’t play very well that day either.
Who hasnt complained about the Soldier Field surface……
Think matthews is running away with the DPotY award….Is all I see on the NFL shows gashing about any tackles he makes…..
In that Moon interview I expected martz to respond with “You know the frick I am! I am mike martz! See this! Its my Super Bowl ring dang it!”……
Finally I was gonna guess SackMan, propheteer or DaHamsta myself…..
Boo all you want but you know what….Deep down you know I am right!

Another thing, why does Bill Belichick care so much about the Bears???

Blame it on the 1985 Bears
Their 46-10 thrashing so scarred the franchise that now all NE employees have that embedded into their subconscious.

I can't wait for this game
Although i want Brady’s face implanted in the grass for most of the game, I would not even be mad if we lose. Don’t get me wrong..I want to win. I just think if we even barely lose by a field goal or less that would not destory the team’s confidence. The game we Must win imo is the Jets game. If GB went into their stadium and shut them out then we absolutely must win that game, even as far as getting the tiebreaker over Green Bay for common opponents. Seriously though, don’t read into this that I am expecting us to lose, I expect us to win actually, i just don’t think a loss, especially a close one will kill our playoff hopes.
I wanna see this - A LOT!
If you don't ask, you don't get. So get on with it already.

There should've been a warning
I watched the clip of Bear-tard (and family) and nearly lost it. Once they started singing “Da Bears, Da Bears, Da Bears”, I was looking for the nearest garbage can.
Inbreeding: It’s happening in more states than just Wisconsin
"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
I want Brady to say this after the game
“We tried hard but couldn’t pull it out, I couldn’t call plays cause I ate too much grass during sacks.”
The only way we make that happen is...
by collapsing the middle on pass plays. It is imperative that we send five guys on the blitz on pass plays. We need to send the extra guy on JP’s side due to him being double teamed. I would prefer that we send a DB and make the LB play up due to Tommy not having the type of WR’s that can go up and get it.
I'm liking Moore blitzing out of the NB spot.
He got his first sack of his career last week against Detroit. He reminds me a lot of Manning coming on the blitz.
WILDCARD BITCHES!!! YEEEEHHHAAAAA!!!!!
like the safety
38 got on rodgers in last year’s opener? yeah, manning should do that again on sunday. or moore as well of course.

I was a big supporter of Manning staying in the Nickel.
He showed last year he could handle it and I didn’t see any reason to move him somewhere else, again. I think he’s done a good job this year though, and I’m extremely happy with Moore’s production at the Nickel spot so it’s all gravy. I think Moore has a very bright future ahead of him.
WILDCARD BITCHES!!! YEEEEHHHAAAAA!!!!!
