Nick Collins just picked off Kitna for another touchdown. That's 3 picks on Det's last 3 drives. 2 for touchdowns.

Now I'm worried about Hester.

I hate you Detroit.

Don't worry WT. The Bears get to beat them twice as well :)

Even before that last possession, Turner was abandoning the run. I blame Turner and Greg Olsen before I blame Orton.

It's one thing to expect him to thread the needle, another thing to overthrow everyone he throws to if they're farther than 10 yards away, especially when they have 3 steps on their defender.

They had awful field position all day long (Maynard looked bad) and they couldn't get their offense going at all in the second half. Orton is good in short and medium throws, but teams aren't even going to bother covering the deep plays. He kept missing wide open receivers.

If on 2nd/1 and 3rd/1 we pass, if on 4th/1 we run with our terrible FB, and if our "nasty and dangerous" TE fumbles twice, they'll beat our a**es.

bad punting, bad returning, and 3 block in the back penalties really cost them alot on ST

So do they have any status updates on Hester?

evidently there was a run play called on third an one and orton audibles out of it only to nearly throw a pick 6

"After 2 minutes, the replay equipment is not working. I waited the required 2 minutes and the equipment still failed to function. Therefore, the ruling on the field stands"

 

- Scene from Chargers/Broncos game after a poor call on a fumble that should have been overturned.

To anyone who has been watching Packers games... does it look like the Bears defense has been more dominating than either side of the ball for them?

Also what do people here use for a Bears message board (besides this) ?

 

The only one i'm on is so gigantically populated w/ people that threads get to page 3 immediately

San Fran and Oakland may be worse. But, Atlanta is a lot better, Miami is improved, and St Louis will compete for a playoff spot when they get their stuff together.

Oakland will win 7 or more games. The offense will improve all season and there defense IS very good (despite Denver b**** slapping them).

QUOTE (Shadows @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 08:36 AM)
The Chiefs suck, and a complete overhaul is what they had intended to do when they started getting the wheels turning last season..

 

I would be shocked if they aren't the worst team in the league, they got a lot of good young pieces but they need a QB which im sure will be next in line for them.

 

There is no way St. Louis wins 9 games, they are garbage. Sorry knight.

St. Louis might not win one game. Horrid offensive line and an even worse defense.

Matt Ryan so far: 0-8, 2 int's.

If Carolina defenders could catch the ball, he would have had 2 picks in this half. I just cringe every time he throws the ball deep.

He wasn't bad in the first half, but he was horrible in the 2nd half. Carolina adjusted to Orton's weakness and forced him to have to throw the deep ball and he missed at least 5 wide open guys on 15+ passes. Plus the other downfield passes he made were just poor decisions.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 11:56 AM)
This. It's like Turner is afraid to use Forte. Now you have them stacking the line probably on 4th and 1 and it will be a very tough yard to get.

Orton checked away from a running play to the passing play.

I love the Lions, I have Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay defense on my fantasy team.

I had McFadden on my bench for Larry Johnson. Ugh.

Last week I had Forte on my bench with Lynch/Julius Jones starting. This week I had Jones/Lynch again with McFadden and FOrte sitting. Next week I'm finally going to make an adjustment and one of Forte/McFadden will start. Probably McFadden cause i don't like Forte matching up with the Bucs. Of course Julius Jones at least has been solid today.

 

The bigger mistake is me picking Manning and Harrison.

I've had Forte benched both weeks too, good news is that Portis and Bush have done just fine. It sucks though, cause my team would be absolutely awesome if Brady didn't die.

You care, don't lie.
