I'm in a Survivor pool with 1400 players. 940 got eliminated today with 788 of those on New England.

 

Lucky for me I was on the Bengals train.

 

I'm liking the Saints to beat KC next weekend.

 

Kind of risky to bet on Saints, although if there was a week to do it would be vs KC

Greg Schiano is another young hot head coach. “What I do with our football team is we fight until they tell us ‘game over.’

 

Maybe you should have covered Victor Cruz.

 

Coughlin unhappy after Bucs rookie coach Greg Schiano has team play hard on final play

seriously, when have you ever seen a team go after a QB on a kneeldown play?

This should blow your mind.

 

 

Frank Omilyale shut down DeMarcus Ware yesterday.

Wasn't it a one score lead? What if they jarred the ball loose and recovered?

I seem to remember a Bears game years ago where they pushed the O-line back into the QB, knocking him over.

Wasn't it a one score lead? What if they jarred the ball loose and recovered?

Yes, but they would have needed to basically return the ball to the end zone.

To clarify things, that would be the winnings in my survivor pool, if I had actually won it all. So POTENTIALLY that kick cost me $5500, but unlikely.

 

Regardless, I am going to write down my pick each week just for "fun" to see how far I would have made it had he not choked away the kick.

LOL. You lost in week 2 of a survivor pool. Week 2. And yet Gostkowski cost you $5,500. It's not like it was week 15.

I hate the Patriots too much to ever bet money on them, but I did make $500 betting against them in the Super Bowl. Put $250 on the Giants -3½ at 2:1.

I took the Saints in week 1. If I had made it to week 2, I definitely would have picked the Patriots. Oops.

He went down to a knee, he was down as soon as they touched him. All they could hope for was a mishandled snap, not to hit the QB and knock the ball out

I've never seen a QB fumble on a kneel down.

 

Bucs were just bitter because they blew the game.

Bears coach Lovie Smith said Monday that Matt Forte does not have a high ankle sprain.

 

"Matt did go down with an ankle injury. It's not a high ankle sprain, as has been reported," Smith said on WBBM (780-AM). "But right now, you know when you don't finish the game and he still has some soreness, we'll continue to monitor it, but we felt we needed another running back here, that's why we brought back a guy who knows our system and has played good ball for us in Kahlil Bell."

Um, if true, that'd be sexual. However, I don't trust a word out of his mouth.

yeah, Lovie is a notorious injury report fibber

Jay Cutler.... is down right now.

I like to think of Lovie as an optimist

I didn't say he cost me $5500, I said POTENTIALLY. I have the whole season mapped out w/ my picks, I was pretty damn confident. It's possible that shank of a kick cost me $5500.

Why Jump a Kneeldown? Because it worked two years ago.

You lost a survivor's pool in week 2, it's pretty silly to talk about POTENTIALLY winning it.

A week after quarterback Jay Cutler was sacked seven times, the Chicago Bears are changing up the offensive line.

 

But scrutinized left tackle J’Marcus Webb appears to be remaining in place right now.

 

Left guard Chris Spencer is not. The Bears will start Chilo Rachal at left guard on Sunday when they host the St. Louis Rams at Soldier Field. Rachal, signed to a one-year contract in the spring, made 38 starts over four seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, who drafted him in the second round in 2008.

 

Spencer allowed one sack to Clay Matthews in the 23-10 loss at Green Bay when the outside linebacker beat the veteran cleanly inside. Spencer had to fend off a challenge from Rachal to keep the job during preseason. It was a new position for Spencer, too, as he was a center with the Seattle Seahawks before joining the team last year. He played 15 games at right guard in 2011, making 14 starts.

 

“This is the first time playing left guard in my career,” Rachal said. “I like it. I am naturally left-handed. I should like this position better than right.”

 

The Bears informed Rachal of the move on Saturday when the team gathered at Halas Hall to review game film from the loss.

 

“I just approached my work like I do every day,” Rachal said. “I came in and got my extra lifts in. I want to take it to another level. This is a good opportunity. I have a small window and I want to maximize this opportunity because you never know when I’ll get this chance again.”

Well, Forte ran off the field today w/no problems. Wasn't even wearing a brace or anything on the ankle.

You lost a survivor's pool in week 2, it's pretty silly to talk about POTENTIALLY winning it.

I'm actually without words as to the level of "silly" it is to say a kicker cost you $5500 when you lose a survivor pool in week 2.

I didn't say he cost me $5500, I said POTENTIALLY. I have the whole season mapped out w/ my picks, I was pretty damn confident. It's possible that shank of a kick cost me $5500.

That is precisely how you lose in survival pools.
