Yeah, that pathetic excuse for a drive in OT was pitaful..but our D lost this game And what's up with Train?? Did he have a run for more than 4 yards!?! I don't think he did. don't now his final #'s, but I'm sure there pathetic Right on. I hate Shoop though I will give him credit when he does well. I think he did a good job adjusting in the first game, but other than that I haven't seen much from him this year. But this game wasn't lost by Shoop. Our pathetic D lost this game. Our cornerbacks can't cover anyone. Thomas is running like crap this year. He just plows into the pile and tries to get 2 yards rather than bounce it outside.

I wouldn't panic. Im not sure how many of you watch the rest of the NFL, but there is not that big of a difference between the Bears and the rest of the NFC/NFL. If they can win the Packer game, I say they will be fine. After the Packers game is the bye, so by the time the Bears take the field again we should only be missing Washington and Holdman. I think Caldwell will fill in nicely for Holdman. The biggest part of losing Washington will be losing his ability to take on 2 blockers. Otherwise teams haven't really been running straight up the middle. They figured out they couldn't run up the middle and so they are running outside the tackles this year. BTW, Rams...in trouble! Is it just me or does anyone else think that right now there isn't a clear favorite to win or even make the Super Bowl? I really like the Patriots and what they do, but I don't know if I can call them the best team in the NFL.

That sounds fun. Im in.

It's the FOX game of the week.

It happens because of who they are. SNL sucks now. They really need to get some new people. People who are actually funny might help...

Blah!

Hehe. There was a pattern there! I swear!

I got 14 out of 16. I guess thats good...

Well, they just announced they found small amounts of Marijuana in his car. Just enough for a petty midemeanor, but nothing has been charged yet. Whats the NFL's drug policy if Moss has the substance in him. I hope the NFL gives him his drug test right now. It's a 4 game suspension for the first offense and a 1 year suspension for the 2nd, I believe.

If you were Jose Hernandez, would you want the single season record for most strikeouts? I keep hearing that this is a record that no one would want, which brings up an interesting question. If bad publicity is better than no publicity, is holding a bad record better than holding no records? Think of it like this. Your an average player who isn't near being a top player. You've bounced around in the league and are now a full time starter. Your not good enough to set any major records. When you retire your most likely not going to be talked about, and you won't be remembered by most people. But, if you set this record, your name will be in the record books, and your name will be brought up everytime a player starts striking out a lot in the season. I say... go for it Jose! Set the bar high! Make sure you don't make contact on any swing the rest of the season! Whos with me?

Moss arrested What a waste of a great talent.

That was a great catch. Moss tried to make a one handed catch like that but his attempt didn't work out so well...

It's a really good show. I started watching it during the new episodes of season 3, and then liked it so when they reran all the episodes I watched all those and got caught up on it. Band of Brothers was good too.

Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk for Rodney Peete and Lamar Smith! Hehe. Then the Rams would be 3-0

BWAHAHAHA. I love it! And on top of that Faulk was injured so he might be out. Go Cowboys, next week! I would love to see them go 0-4.

1123 I only had like 10 more. No big deal. I don't really care about post count anyway.

Well this is going to be the last season from what I've heard. Im upset that Paulie is in jail. Paulie is one of the best characters on there. It seems like either Silvio or Paulie are going to get whacked at the end of this season. BTW...has anyone heard this rumor about Pussy possibly not being dead? Theres a rumor on the internet somewhere I guess that Pussy signed a 6 year contract and that he might end up resurfacing. Remember he says not in the head. I don't believe it, but I read it online and found it interesting. I mean he was chained up and thrown into the water, so I don't see how he could still be alive.

After hearing this past episode of The Sopranos talked about as one of the best Sopranos ever made, I thought it was an extreme letdown. Hell episode 3, which I heard wasn't nearly as good as episode 2, looks better just based on the previews. Anyone agree that episode 2 was extremely overrated? The whole Meadow college thing was extremely overplayed. The only good part was what happens with Christopher and Adriana which I won't say for those who haven't seen it.

That's one thing I like about Ritchie. Through this entire year he was always a stand up guy and never made excuses. Maybe to a fault almost because he tried to pitch through pain. I have confidence in him that if he is completely healthy next year, he will do just fine.

I was always a backer of Ritchie but I really do think he will pitch much better next year.

Ok well as I said last night I have a lot to say about the Bears/Saints game and the Bears in general. So... That collapse yesterday was pretty damn bad. They failed to ever put the game away though. They forced three turnovers early in the game and had a chance to make it a four score game, but didn't. The recovered fumble on the Saints botched snap was the one that pissed me off. They had a chance to make it a 24-0 game at that point and really demoralize the Saints. They recovered the ball on the Saints 13! Yet they settle for a FG. So the Saints got the ball and put together a nice drive to score to cut the lead to 20-7. Fine. I can live with that. It wasn't like they were going to play that bad the whole game. But then game the play that to me, completely turned the game around. The Saints kickoff and Leon Johnson fumbles the ball! Now this is the guy who is back returning kicks and punts because of his sure hands, even though he has no explosiveness and is no threat to break a big return. Then he has the nerve to say today "You can't blame me for one play". What? Hell yes I can blame you for one play. His fumble was huge. It's a potential 14 point swing. If he doesn't fumble that ball its a 20-7 game and maybe the Bears, who had all the momentum at that time, go down and score again. But he fumbles it, and gives the ball back to the Saints inside the Bears 20. Soon after, Brooks runs it on and the Saints are up 20-14. Now they have all the momentum. They're feeling good knowing that 10 minutes ago they were down by 20 and looking really bad. Suddenly regardless of all their mistakes and bad play, they are within one score. That was by far the defining play of the game. The worst thing that happened was the Bears going into the half with the lead. It was like they didn't know what to do. They come right out and give up the lead. Then on the Saints second possesion they get the ball deep in their own terrority. The Bears defense did a good job pinning them back and holding them. The Saints punt it and the Bears ahve it at the 35, but wait. Dumbass Todd McMillon gets called for a personal foul and it backs the Bears up 15 yards which takes them out of field goal range. Another huge play there. The Bears could have had a chance for a field goal. Then of course their anemic second half offense fails to even move the ball and they punt. Bryan Robinson played awful yesterday. Those two offsides penalties didn't help either. He didn't have a tackle either. I know his wrists are not 100% but if hes not going to provide anything, then Id rather see someone out there who can atleast provide some pash rush. Hell, it can't hurt to give Tafoya a shot. I thought Traylor played tremendous yesterday stepping up to help fill the void of Ted Washington. This secondary is brutal. Ted's lose was big but I still think RW's lose is the biggest. These guys like Austin and McMillon should be playing nickle at best. Also, Im hardly impressed with Mike Green. I know the Bears staff has said they feel hes a "special" player, but I think theres a reason this guy was Mr. Irrelevent. We definately need another safety to go along with Brown. I liked Gray but unfortunately hes not out for the season. Luckily Damion Shelton returns this week. It will be interesting to see how Atrain runs this week. He doesn't seem to be the same back he was last year. His cuts are just awful. There have been so many times this year I've found myself screaming for him to bounce it outside thinking he could pick up more yardage. Instead he runs into the pile and gets a whole 1 or 2 lousy yards. It's nice to see the Bears utilizing their TE's and FB's. Pritchett and Davis had two if the biggest catches yesterday when they were needed. As far as Shoop goes, I thought that 3rd and 2 playcall was horrible. You just got 4 yards on consecutive plays, pound it and try to get the 2 yards. Or if your going to try and get 2 yards throwing, THROW FOR THE DAMN 2 YARDS! I hate this crap with all these swing passes and WR screens where they rely on the guy to get some blocks and run for the yards. Call a play where Miller can hit his man across the first down line so the receiever doesn't have to run. The play on the final drive to Lyman was just stupid. They're on the Saints 44 and they throw for...6 yards? And worst of all Lyman doesn't get out on bounds so the clock keeps going. I thought Miller played another good game. Hes been getting the job done for the most part. The last play, I can't say I give him too much blame. Dez did run the wrong route so Miller had to either throw it away and take one more shot or force it and hope its caught. I personally would have rather seen him force it. He wouldn't have gotten a much better look on the next pass if he did decide to throw it away so he would have had to force that one also. David Terrell definately needs to play more. I don't care how he looks in practice. He has done fine in the games. Lets face it, at this point he can't do much worse than Dez, and Marcus still can't contribute much since he is basically limited to running Fly patterns, and catching WR screens. It's time the Bears find an actual threat in their return game. All around the league guys are running back kicks/punts for TD's. Through 3 games there have been 10 returns for TD's. Yet the Bears have trouble scratching out a measly 20 yards. It's sad. I hope Ahmad Merritt can do it or else it's time to start looking to other teams. Maybe there is someone on another teams practice squad who we can give a chance. I wouldn't mind seeing them give Darrick Vaughn a chance. The Bears coverage on special teams has been bad also. Anyone know what Frankie Smith is doing these days? We could really use him. I don't think he is currently on an NFL roster but I could be wrong. Ok thats my thoughts. Feel free to agree or disagree with me or give me your thoughts.

Crede all the way.

I think it was Royce Clayton. Everything is his fault. It was his fault that Frank got injured last year. Its his fault that our pitchers after Buehrle have pretty much sucked this year. It's his fault that the Twins are good. If you ask me I think that once he was released he decided to try to get even with Sox fans, so he came here and hacked into the boards and made you delete the posts by putting a voodoo spell on you that made you do what you did that deleted the posts/forum.

We wouldn't stand a chance. Pitching wins in the playoffs and after Buehrle... it would probably be uglier than the 2000 playoffs.

I have too much to say. I'll have a rant up sometime tommorrow.
