Seriously, are we going to have to go through another season with a defense that can score more points than it's offense?
It looks like it considering defense + special teams = 14, offense = 10 for the scoring tonight. 7 of those 10 for the offense were the result of a 42 yard run back off a punt it looks like too. hehe.
But what do I know... I'm a Green Bay fan.
da bears !!!
10-6

A very wise decision. I just hope you didn't waste your third round pick for that... ;)
no way dude 6th round

That still seems pretty early to pick a defense.
any thoughts on last fridays game ?
Griese should be the head QB!!!! he's got the expierence and makes better decisions more consistently then grossman.
but i guess i doesn't matter cause grossman will be hurt by week 3, not that i want that or anything but hes a puss and can't take a hit.
Griese did look good everytime he was in, against the second string defense. But I do think that lovie should let him start against the 1st team and see how he does. I really hope Grossman can pick it up and show us that he wasn't a fluke or made of porcelan (sp?). I guess only time will tell once the season starts. How many losses do you think he gets in the reg. season before they switch him for Griese?
14-2
what, final score of the Bears-packers game where the Bears only manage to get a safety? :P Sorry, that record sounds just a little too ambitious considering the offense.
Grossman is just following in the footsteps of his predecessors, a la Chris "Chandelier" Chandler.
I'd put the Bears around a 9-7 record this season.

I don't always have a good feeling about the Bears in pre-season but this year I do. They could go 2-14 also but I thought I'd throw my prediction out there. I think the chances that Grossman plays the whole season is somewhere south of 50-50 but I also don't think that the Bear's chances fall into the hands of a healthy Grossman. Defense again is the key to the Bears game this year. IF the Bears can offer up an average NFL offense they could go 14-2.
We can post again in January. See you next year! ;)
I'm putting the over-under on a quarterback change at 4 weeks into the regular season. I'm taking the over with a Griese start in week 5.

haha, so i fell asleep about 4 minutes into the 4th qtr. whooops! miraculous comeback aside, wtf was up with Grossman? That was worse than any game that Kyle Orton or Jonathan Quinn every played. Somebody better slap him upside the head cuz we won't win playoff games with that kind of performance.
Last night is the wake up call the Bears needed. Young quarterbacks will have bad games like that, but most of them don't have the luxury of having the Bears defense to help them bounce back and pull out a win like that. Great effin game! I was walking out of the bar, and when I got to the door I saw the fumble return. HAD to stay then. Oh, and I even got to meet Otis Wilson last night. ;D
I personally thought that was probably the poorest display of football that could be seen in one game combined by two teams. Being a Lions fan I normally root against all of the NFC North, but I'm finding myself rooting for the Bears lately also now that I'm living here. Last night I was somewhat torn because it's nice to see underdogs succeed as well and Leinhart started off really well. No team should win with 6 turnovers. Rex Grossman was passing like a chump last night! I'd be so mad if I had a fantasy team haha.
Leinhart did deserve to win that game, but I'm happy he didn't. 6 turnovers for the Bears, and the Cards only were able to convert that to 13 points. 2 turnovers for the Cards and the Bears converted that to 14 points.
Did you hear Dennis Green after the game? :o

Urlacher played an inspired game & Grossman played like crap, but I don't want to hear anyone say, "When are they going to put in Griese?" Griese and Grossman are in two different leagues in terms of talent. Rex just needs time to gain experience. He's just trying to do too much. He's trying to win the game with the deep ball as if he were playing Madden '07. He'll get better at decision making. You can't teach the kind of talent he has. You can, however, teach patience and pocket presence.
Urlacher owned. That had to be one of the best quarters of football I have ever seen by a defensive player. Wow!
Time of Possesion: Cards 40min/Bears 20min. How the defense even had the energy to play like that in the 4th quarter is amazing.
Grossman had better get his head out of his asre. And quickly! Maybe he was just trying to see how good this defense can be.
All that aside. My goodness the Cards suck.
Not sure the win was worth losing Mike Brown. They did not play all that well without him last year. We will have to wait and see.
If they learn from this it could turn out to be a great season for the Bears.
DA BEARS!!!

That was an awesome blowup. Too bad he controlled himself. If your gonna blow up. BLOW UP dammint!
I'll crown 'em! :D Mike Brown will be a big loss. The rest of the guys really consider him the vocal leader of that defense. How about that Todd Johnson hit on Monday night! He's a head hunter but he's no Mike Brown.
DA BEARS!
Oh man, what a great day to be at the game yesterday. In the first half, there was so much energy in the stands, but the second half was a different story. I was hoping for a 70 point shutout, but I settled for them covering the 16 points and also covering the over/under of 42 ;D
Awesome game!!! If I would have knocked my father over I would have had Moose's TD ball, but as it were the guy sitting in the seat just behind my dad got it. Oh well still a great day for DA BEARS!!!
Rex has the potential to be a great QB...but he still has some learning to do. I predicted that the Bears were going to be 14-2 this season, so being 7-1 doesn't look too bad, except I didn't plan on Miami being one of the two losses. Oh well, they need to win next Sunday in order to set things straight...or if injuries start to catch up with them they could fizzle from here on out.
I can't believe that the Bears returned a missed field goal for a touchdown for the second time in consecutive seasons! What a huge play! I think that play gave the Bears all the momentum they needed to steamroll the Giants.
That was awesome. Hilarious too. Don't mind me. I'm just wandering around aimlessly in the end zone with a football. No, not really thinking about running out. Just -- zooooooom!

In the press conference, Hester said that he was analyzing the field and determining which way to run. He said that some of the Giants were walking off the field and he just took off toward the Bears sideline. What were those guys thinking? Had they forgotten that Vasher did that to the 49ers almost a year previous to the day?
I loved watching Hillenmeyer cream Jay Feely on the runback.

In all seriousness, it's cool what campbell's does... donates cans that weigh as much as the entire winning team's player's weights combined.
Yea but it makes them money in the end. They use it as a "linkbait" tool to get more people linking to their website. In the end they make more money on it than they lose because more people are reminded of their product and order some online possibly. Search for "soup" on Google. #2 ain't bad for a very broad term! Same thing happened with Burger King a few years ago with that subservient chicken campaign that they had. Search for "chicken" on Google. More links = better rankings (as long as you do it right).
It's definitely good for them to do that and give to the community. They aren't doing it for the goodness of mankind though.
OK, so we can breathe a sigh of relief that Grossman can still play football. Now it's like getting a birdie, doesn't count until you at least par the next hole. If they don't follow with another good offensive showing it could be a bumpy & short playoff ride.

Grossman was at the doctor's office and he says, "Doctor, doctor, will I be able to play professional football?" And the doctor says, "Usually the way that joke goes is, 'Doctor, doctor, will I be able to play the violin.'"

At 13-3 I came pretty close! Too bad the Bears didn't have anything to play for in the last game and the Pack did. If Rex Grossman (or whoever QBs for the Bears) can go without throwing any interceptions for the playoffs, the Bears will go to the Super Bowl. Just thought I'd throw out another one of my "wild" predictions for you guys to scoff at! I do believe!!!
Only thing Bears fans will be doing on Feb. 4th is watching their calendars for the countdown for catchers and pitchers to report to spring training... that and watching the Bulls highlights from the game the night before.
Stupid Giants winning that 6th seed. bah. Not that I think Green Bay would actually win in Philly, but it would have been interesting to see a Bears/Packers rematch.
I'm guessing that Philly will beat the Giants and Dallas beats Seattle. That would leave Chicago vs. Dallas and New Orleans vs. Philly.
Regardless of what version of Dallas shows up, Grossman is going to be placing a lot of pressure on himself. He's going to be out there trying to make stuff happen and hang the ball up there. Keep the ball away from Hester and the Bears wind up 1-and-done.

Where the heck did Adewale Ogunleye go? This guy has shown up for just one game, in my eyes. Is this guy worth a $33.4 million contract? Heck no.
Without a good pass rush, the Bears D-backs are suspect to giving up some big plays. Ogunleye needs to start doing his part!! :angry:
Holmgren and Lovie are in heaven...thankful to be there..

the property is Bears Bears Bears..
Holmgren thanks God for is spot in heaven but asks why is my house so small compared to Lovie's...
God says that's not Lovie's house, it's mine..

God is most like Bear's Fans. Fair weather. Haven't you noticed the sweet smell of moth balls in the air? About every 5 years the Bears Fans pull their old Payton and Butkus jerseys out of the mothballs and then by half-time of their once every five year play-off game blow out defeat, the jerseys are right back in the box. The question of the day is: Who is this years Steve Smith? My answer is Rex Grossman.

Wat up bitches, bring on the Saints! :D

If that Rex Grossman (the ok one) shows up next week, the Bears go to the Super Bowl. I think they need the defense to make a better showing next Sunday though.

Of all the courses compared to 20 years ago? Yes.

The one thing that I will grudgingly admit is that the Bears do have a good fight song.
Reality-- both offensive and defensive lines underperforming. However, Grossman exceeded expectations, running was good, special teams excellent. Nobody looks that good right now. No reason why the Bears cannot either win it all or flame out. Who knows. All I do know is that other than a nice end of the season victory cheese, well you know , its smells after a while.
I love reading the blog of Steve Rosenbloom, and last week he posted up a video that all it does is makes me shake my head and sigh... but it might be worthwhile to watch.
As Rosenbloom put it...

Except for maybe the Colts (didn't see all of that one), none of the games were 'won' as much as they were 'lost' by the other teams. I wouldn't put any money on anyone at this point.
As a one-time New Orleans resident (I was there during the 86 SB but had no chance at tickets) it was cool to see the Saints move ahead though. Unless you've lived there you can't really understand what Carnival and Football mean to that culture. A Super Bowl certainly won't fix the unbelievable problems that still exist for the people who still live there (and there were definitely some serious problems long before the hurricane), but it would make a movie plot that no one would believe (not that someone would probably film it anyhow.)
I was telling myself that it was OK if the Bears lost as it meant another home game for N.O., but towards the end my instinctive emotions were taking over. Next week will be interesting, esp. with 2 Packer fans in the house.

Well put. Once again, the secondary was picked apart because there was no pass rush. If Brees can sit back and throw, it's going to be a long day. I am not worried about their rushing game. Why? Last year's NFL MVP was shut down on 4th and 1. That's saying something, even if he had turf toe. Turf toe, smurf toe, Briggs mopped the floor with him, not once, but twice!

If this doesn't quiet the trash-talkers then they just can't be helped.
Personally, I'm having trouble deciding what tastes better, The victory itself or the cold beer I'm going to buy with the $5.00 I won from Tom McManus!!
bears/colts. Manning or Grossman?
If the game only came down to the quarterbacks then it wouldn't really be a question there!
That Indy/Pats game was awesome. I personally am sick and tired of the Pats so I was pumped to see the Colts come back like that. Finally Manning put together a good game in the playoffs. After he threw that pick that got returned to the house, he pretty much dominated New England's defense. No Super Bowl XX rematch.
I can't wait for this Super Bowl now. Like all Bears games, its going to be tough to predict what is going to happen. Rex pretty much sucked balls that last game, but he didn't turn it over which is all I've ever wanted from him. If we do that again we are really tough to beat. I think the whole team will step up and git r done come gametime.
Also memo to Reggie Bush, it really doesn't bother me, but when I compete I hold off on the elaborate celebrations until I'm atleast ahead in the game. And that was a gay little dance.
Super Bowl Mumble (http://www.chicagomag.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=8642F5EFCEA14A939100AB7214F31861&nm=Archives&type=PubPagi&mod=Publications%3A%3AArticle+Title&mid=61BFC65300D24DB58350C761094153A1&tier=4&id=29A8259066454C168B697FAF61CF0FE4)
Mitch Albom was saying yesterday that the Bears were saying that it was the Reggie Bush thing that got them fired up. He then says, "So, is it just me, but if you're in the NFC Championship game and you aren't one of those teams you see there every year and you aren't fired up, isn't there something wrong here?"

Good point. However, the Bears came out fired up and played that way. The Saints took some of the fire back by scoring late in the first half and early in the second half. That fire, or momentum, or what have you, dissapated when Reggie over indulged in his glory. Rather than feeling sorry for themselves and playing scared, the Bears returned to playing mad. No matter how fired up you think you are, there is always a waxing and waning of emotion. That play showed the waxing and waning at its extremes. As Reggie ran circles around the Bears, the emotional energy was all pointing towards lake Pontchartrain. As he neared the goal line and started pointing at his pursuers, the energy returned to Lake Michigan. This, of course, comes via the magic of hindsight. If the Bears don't have a great punt followed by a safety we may still be saying that Reggie's great run turned the tide for the Saints rather than saying that his celebration turned the tide against them.
I'd say it was more just the safety that turned the real momentum of the game. The defense might have had a vendetta against Reggie for that series, but it was the lack of getting the team out of the end zone area from Brees that turned it around.
I also am not a big fan of the "just let them play" officiating. Call it just like any other game would be called.
Grrr.

I'm pretty sure Mitch Albom knows you don't just stay fired up for 3 straight hours no matter what team you are. There is momentum shifts in every sport. Its stupid to imply that the Bears were saying they were out there lollygagging around like they didnt care until they saw Bush do a dance. I guarantee they were trying their hardest, but something like that can give you a little extra adrenaline rush to get momentum back in your favor.
I always want to try my hardest on every shot in disc golf, but sometimes I think we all do stupid things due to mental fatigue or whatever that just don't make sense in hindsight.
Guy goes to the NFC Championship and sees an empty seat. So he asks the guy next to the empty seat "Who would have a Bears ticket for the most important game of the year and not use it?!?"
The man says, "Actually, the seat belongs to my wife. We have not missed a single game together since we were first married in 1967 and got these season tickets for a wedding present. But she recently died."
The other guy says, "I'm very sorry to hear that. But couldn't you find a friend or a relative to use her seat?"
The man says, "No. They're all at the funeral.
A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is an Indianapolis Colts fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they are Colts fans too. Not really knowing what a Colts fan was, but wanting to be liked by their teacher, their hands fly into the air. There is, however, one exception. Susie has not gone along with the crowd.
The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I'm not a Colts fan" she reports. "Then," asks the teacher, "what are you?" "I'm a Chicago Bears fan!" boasts the little girl. The teacher asks Susie why she is a Bears fan. "Well, my Dad and Mom are Bears fans, so I'm a Bears fan too" she responds. "That's no reason," the teacher says. "What if your mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot. What would you be then?"
Susie smiles and says, "A Colts fan."

That joke is used frequently with <insert your favorite team name here> and <insert the team you hate the most here> all the time. It's even a multi-sport joke.
I went out and guessed the Bears record this year at 14-2 and was scoffed at. I said that the Bears would go to the Super Bowl if Rex could keep his mistakes under control and again was scoffed at. Here's two more for you...the Bears are going to win the Super Bowl and Rex Grossman is going to become one of the premier quarterbacks in the NFL. It would be cool if the turning point in his career was the second half of the Saints game but I think he will continue to be unpredictable until about the middle of next season when he'll calm down a little and learn to think fast. Athletically he has what it takes to be a great quarterback. Hopefully once he learns to think quick enough he will still say stupid stuff in the post game interviews...I'd miss that! [scoff=on]...
If anyone has a link to an mp3 of the Bears fight song I'd appreciate it if you'd post it. I've been trying to find one to use as the ring for Blackberry. I found one on the CSO site but it was too big to save on my Blackberry.
Rex Grossman demonstrates the kind of inconsistancy you see in a lot of players right before something clicks and they take it to the next level. Let's hope the clicking thing isn't his knee.

GO BEARS!!!!!

If anyone has a link to an mp3 of the Bears fight song I'd appreciate it if you'd post it. I've been trying to find one to use as the ring for Blackberry. I found one on the CSO site but it was too big to save on my Blackberry.
I found this one... pretty small, only about 83k or something like that. I can't attach it to a post, but here's a link to it:

Let me know if the link doesn't work...

Thanks, that was fantastic.
Just trying to help.
ok, I don't know if this will be small enough or not, but I did take the CSO version of the song, resampled it down to 96kbps instead of 320, and I trimmed it to essentially the first verse. It's 23 seconds long, and if your phone takes longer than that to get to voice mail then it should loop quite nicely. I'm only afraid that it will be hard to hear when it rings. I also don't know what your limitations are for ring tone file size. This one is something like 282kb.

Thanks for finding that Kyle.
I have a louder version, without words, but it's on my iTunes and I don't know how to get it onto this forum since it told me mp3's are not a valid file to be uploaded. This version sounds really nice, like an original version, really makes me smile when I hear this one and shout the lyrics

Thanks. That is small enough and loud enough for the office anyway.
We're watching the game here at home....maybe with a friend or brother-in-law.
Hopefully not that Bruce guy! I hear he's like the guest who wouldn't leave!... ;D
