Thoughts From NFL Week 6: Chicago Bears and beyond

1) Ya at first I sided with schertz on that thing but then I saw all the whacked things he does on Youtube (that I linked in the 3rd qtr game thread) and was like eh what ever schwertz cant take it. Still harbaugh was whacked out for doing that

2) Sadly santana moss still wants rex as his QB….. Guess it will take a few bad rex games for the players to start to see that light

3) Same thought that was just so methodical. garrett is getting ripped down here for not really trying for the TD to the people here. garrett starting to lose support from cowboys fans

4) Yep thats what they think down here. As garrett lose support so does romo. romo got ripped to shreds after that det game where fans were screaming for him to be traded. One fan referred to romo as worse than Cutler and grossman

5) campbell might not have been great but he was good enough and they were rolling. Was pulling for oakland to play well and win the west (well except against the Bears. That game should be interesting now)

6) packers Offense just to good. All those weapons will carry them to perfect record sadly

7) But ESPN tells me that matt ryan is one of the best young QBs in the game. But ya agree guess with white and jones they want to show ryan and company can air it out when they dont really have to. Almost like mike martz is their OC.

8) tampa looked much improved and graham was just steam rolling that saints D

9) Ya ponder did look OK but some of his passes were not very accurate but that might be because he had to come in cold. I saw the viking fans were poed that mcnabb was always smiling after a bad play and can see how that can be irritating. Sorta felt bad for mcnabb (and his mom) but then I remember he use to play great against the Bears so eh

10) Ya glad Cutler finally stood up and said something considering it was his health in jepordy. I also think that the whole “tell him said FU” thing was directed at martz. Wonder if there is a rift brewing between martz and Cutler and if that carries over into the offseason and affects if the Bears resign martz or move on to someone Cutler can get along / work with more effectively

He’s one of my favorite Bears, but i have no problem with him asking for a trade; neither do I have a problem with the Bears moving on. They weren’t planning on bringing him back anyway, so the injury and poor safety play gave the coaches enough cover to pull the plug. I don’t think he’ll be traded, and we might see him if there’s an injury elsewhere, but I don’t think we’ll see Chris Harris very much the rest of the year.

RE Handshake-gate: I think Harbaugh was probably a little too boisterous after the game, but if you’re Jim Schwartz, you gotta keep your cool. Especially if you’re known for fist-pumping and talking trash with players.

And shout out to the Niners for giving the Bears a chance to catch Detroit for the wildcard.

I feel Hitman will remain with the Bears through the season. Just no real interest shown from teams around the league. And the deadline is tomorrow.

And, it may not be the end to Chris Harris in Chicago. If he wins his job back and plays lights out, then I’d expect him to stay.

Cutler and this offense seems to be taking off now that Jay has direct input on the gameplan.

Rex Grossman may be done in Washington. But, then again it is Washington where QB controversies thrive.

Btw, Cutler actually got the 3rd best “Total QBR” with a 91.4, only behind Aaron Rodgers and guess who? Tom Brady!

Feels great knowing the Bears won big with the changes that needed to happen.

Schwartz is being just a bit too sensitive for such a minor inconvenience. My 11 year-old daughter has thicker skin. What a baby!

Why in the world would Dallas go that conservative with 3 straight run plays, only to give the ball to Brady with two and a half minutes to work? I’ll wager a guess… Maybe they don’t trust Tony Romo in late game situations.

Uh, yeah. He’s lost two of them late in games because they were too aggressive. I watched most of the game, and the Dallas D gave Brady fits the entire game. I had no problem with the play selection, but if it was me, I would’ve tried to ice it with a first down.

How many times did they have to show it last night during SNF? Word is that the league will definitely look into it, and while I do support their intentions, neither of those two coaches should deserve anything more than a warning. Harbaugh was definitely a bit histrionic, and Schwartz definitely had the right to be a bit upset, but the ensuing situation with the players gathering around didn’t really go beyond minor dispute. It’s best the NFL leaves it that way.

I think Martz is going to be Martz, he has to understand that the NFL has changed, which he has a though time with, and adjust to the strengths of his QB. If he does this team will go as far as Cutler takes them. As we all have seen last night , the D fed off that first drive, and responded with the best performance this year so far. Cudos to Pepers fos playing on a bummed knee, and getting 2 sacks, we needed that.

Ponder looked good out there. He reminds me of Jake Plummer. He doesn’t stand all that tall in the pocket and he doesn’t have the greatest arm in the world, but he has good mobility and should be able to make plays outside of the pocket.

With that said, McNabb didn’t have a bad game either. He was 19 of 24, and I remember at least three drops that were right off the receivers’ hands. I think he’s still got a little bit left in the tank, and I wouldn’t mind seeing him as the Bears’ backup QB next year.

Anyone else catch, during the TB/ATL game the other week at the end of the game, the Bucs drew the offsides call. The DC is seen on TV screaming “you F*cking idiot!”

i love the nfl
