I found this quote from a Game Thread last year, and thought it would be interesting to post it again here: Entering the final stretch of the 2009 season, a loud cry can be heard from the masses demanding the termination of head coach Lovie Smith's tenure with the Bears; when GM Jerry Angelo hired Lovie Smith, Angelo said "I'm never going to do this again [and] the next autopsy will be mine." Now, it's 2010, and we have to assume that our GM, Head Coach, and possibly even President are in a "must win" situation to keep there jobs next season. Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, tonight will be a good litmus test of how well our OL is jelling, what the chemistry of our QB and WRs are, and what our defense will look like with new faces and completely healthy folks. |

A tender hamstring is expected to sideline Chicago Bears starting strong safety Danieal Manning on Saturday night, according to a source close to the player.

I hope that one of these streams work. Being in the military I am never in the local area and miss a lot of games. I had sunday ticket last year and think i might get it again this year.
I broke down for the ticket as well
but preseason isn’t available live on DTV.

Rodgers is playing great right now
Granted he’s playing against the Browns 6/6, 78 yds, 1 td.
WILDCARD BITCHES!!! YEEEEHHHAAAAA!!!!!
I still like Rodgers
even though he plays for the Pack. Glad he is not on the boys.
I'm targeting him
with the 10th or 11th pick in my fantasy draft this season.

Forte
did a really good job picking up the safety blitz on the 33 yard gain, to his credit. Sealed him out and turned him around to create a pocket for Jay to step into.

The line looked well in the pass block.
But that can’t do anything for Forte. And Forte needs to have a little word with Tice.

Sounds pretty awesome

Writer at windycitygridiron.com {-/-} http://www.twitter.com/kdoggers
I dont think it was bowman
Rivers picked the right spot, picked the seam where bowman’s coverage switches to Harris’ coverage. I think it was more Harris who was playing too far up the middle of the field as opposed to outside the hashes
Chargers TD
Apparantly Steltz is the key to everything.
Bowman beat pretty solidly, Harris late to assist.

nice underneath throw to Taylor, but if you put it ahead of him, he doesn’t have to reach up, and then turn around. Still a good play, though.

I'm definitely not as negative on Hanie as you..
I think he’s actually kind of underrated – my only knock against the guy is that he takes too many sacks, but he’s a pretty good QB IMO.

He's got really solid footwork, I think.
I’m just not big on his decision making skills. Yet. I’m still open to him, but he started out in this game looking pretty terrible, but he’s settling in a bit.

Hanie without a doubt doesn’t have the same arm or polish that Cutler has, but he does have the ability to roll out and extend plays with his legs in the same way.

Gotta say.. in looking at the O line and D line play...
No running game and two sacks given up by the O line..
No sacks or pressure by the D-line (decent run defense though), especially on Rivers..
Holes in the secondary..
Of this were the regular season, it would be 17-3 Chargers right now… We have work to do…

It’s the accent from northern England that she uses in 300 that gets me – she should have spoken in something more neutral – and makes her seem entirely out of place in the ancient Greek setting. It’s the equivalent of, say, casting Jodie Foster in that role and letting her speak in a southern drawl.
