January 13, 200818 yr Rivers is a prick, but it was tough NOT to root for San Diego with both LT and Gates out for the Chargers. And Indy's defense is a shoe-in for the "Suck-Off" award for failing to stop San Diego's offense playing without Gates, LT and Rivers.
January 13, 200818 yr QUOTE(JFields27 @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 03:09 PM) 4th down .. nice job by the Colts ... The 2 minute comeback love in me has me cheering for the Colts .. plus I dont want to see a Billy Volek against the Pats next week, though it looks like Rivers will look ok Not sure the COlts would have been in better shape w/o Harrison and their second best defensive player.
January 13, 200818 yr Well I was wrong about Norv Turner. I think the Chargers get drilled next week though.
January 13, 200818 yr Author QUOTE(SoxAce @ Jan 12, 2008 -> 10:29 PM) Next week, the Colts will shock the world. Just remember that and this line. Sorry, Ace. Had to.
January 13, 200818 yr Author QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 03:14 PM) Rivers is a prick. That is what I hate about him. The way he acts sometimes. It's not like Colt fans are NY or Boston fans.
January 13, 200818 yr Peyton Manning should've spent more time in the game instead of in my commercials.
January 13, 200818 yr Time to switch over to Fox ... goooo Giants? Sometimes you hate to love the Underdogs but its always fun.

January 13, 200818 yr What's the difference between the Bears' season and the Colts' season? About 12 draft spots.

What's the difference between the Bears 2008 draft and the Colts' 2008 draft? The Bears have one top 15 pick and need QB, RB, WR, OL The Colts have some of the best in QB, RB, WR .. and have a late round pick and could add some OL, but will probably draft DB /Bearsfan Edited January 13, 200818 yr by JFields27
January 13, 200818 yr Author Is it true this is the first time the Cowboys and Giants have ever met in the post season?
January 13, 200818 yr QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 03:23 PM) Ya got me. I actually love Philly fans, but I might be the only one outside of Philly who does. I just love Philadelphia, from the Liberty Bell to the ECW Arena to all the crazy people in between. But hey, some good ribbing. I don't have any big problems with Colt fans. But I don't care for that coach, QB, team stadium owner history OR their advocates in the media and my Friend Circle telling me that they're going to go into NE and beat the Patriots in the playoffs. I was tired of Manning's forehead on my television commercials. I didn't like seeing Colts fans boo a 14 YO girl but I don't blame all Colts fans for that at all. Truthfully, I'm breathing a little easier now that Indy's out, because they are dangerous but without Freeney I didn't think they'd beat NE, especially at Foxboro. NE was and is better, and better coached. But of course anything can happen. I'm happy to know that the Patriots will be facing San Diego, if only because I love watching the Chargers lose unless it's against Indianapolis.

Plus SF has their pick.

Tony Dungy is one of the most classy individuals ANYWHERE, let alone just in football. But I'm sure Billy Belichick is god reincarnated.
January 13, 200818 yr I know this idea looks very bleak with Benson, but the Bears should really look into Julius Jones to be a Chicago Bear. He's a Free Agent after this postseason and after Barber got the start this week He was very mad with the decision. We have had his brother so why not get him heh. Seriously though, He will be 27 going into the season next year and I think he is a great back. For having to share his carries with Barber, He has excelled particularly with his 1000 yard year last season. In 2005 with only 13 games played, with 257 attempts, rushed for 993. In 2006 16 games played, 10 more attempts with 267, rushed for 1084(and this was the first year with Barber). Now this season it has been a complete favor over Barber getting probably, and this is a guess probably 60-62% of most plays. Basically what I am saying is I gave Benson a chance last season to shine with no TJ here, but he did not take advantage of his opportunities and decided to be a mope. Benson signed a 5 year 35 mil contact in 05, but the contract total is obviously a lot more and I think the backend of the deal is loaded more so I see getting rid of him will be hard. Angelo said he will have to fight for his job this year so lets bring in Jones let him battle with Benson then pull a Jack Del Rio and cut Benson.
January 13, 200818 yr Bears arent going to be able to afford J Jones and Benson. Plus I dont see why he would even consider the bears after how they treated his brother. Benson will be the starter and he will have to beat out Wolfe. They spent a 3rd rounder on him, so i doubt they are going to draft another first day half back this year.

In theory I would love this, but I doubt you could convince JJ to share carries with Benson the way his brother was forced to. JJ is pretty much of a clone of TJ, the offense worked at its best with TJ and Benson performing.
January 13, 200818 yr QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 14, 2008 -> 09:56 AM) And Julius Jones is not very good. No he isn't. He's speedy, but very soft and goes down easily on contact. Tied up at the half, very annoying to give up that late TD. Barber's had a great game, need to keep pounding the ball and allow Romo to use to Playaction. Our secondary certainly has issues against the pass though. This could go either way.
January 13, 200818 yr QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 10:56 PM) And Julius Jones is not very good. Yep. Name for me any running back who would've done anything worth a damn this year behind the Bears offensive line. Add in the QB situation and our crap-ass offensive coordinator and really, it'd be tough to judge any running back given all those circumstances. Before the Bears start talking about getting their "franchise QB" or "franchise RB", they best rebuild that offensive line or else you're going to see more 'failures' like Grossman and Benson.
