Hannibal Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Jake continually shows moments of greatness, followed up by sequences of sheer idiocy. Story of his career. I think he might just need time. Testeverde didn't become a great quarterback until his mid 30s. My Skins finally are showing some offensive skill. Though I didn't agree with it at the time the Champ Bailey trade really helped us. I think both Denver and Washington have no complaints from that trade.

RevanA4 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I hope that the Texans can become as good or better then the Oilers of the late 70's to early 80's. I can't wait till the cowboys play them in week six XD but the cowboys offense finally looked like it clicked on all cylinders this week. they are gonna need the same next week if they want to beat the eagles. but last year the eagle had issues with glen's speed we shall see how much of a factor he plays. My Skins finally are showing some offensive skill. Though I didn't agree with it at the time the Champ Bailey trade really helped us. I think both Denver and Washington have no complaints from that trade. but total lack of defense at the same time. grated they won but they could have just as easily lost due to there inablity to stop the jags offense.

Arátoeldar Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 (anyone remember the Buffalo overtime game). I do. That is one of the greatest NFL games of all time. I love how Karma bit Cincinnati in the ass against NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mav Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 If the Broncos could figure out their offense (read: Jake Plummer) I think they would be among the elite in the NFL. With as solid a defense and running game as we have, if Jake could be consistant we'd be a team to truly fear. Jake continually shows moments of greatness, followed up by sequences of sheer idiocy. I think he will figure it out as the season progresses, and by the end of the season nobody will want to play the Broncos. I'm going to subscribe to your Broncos newsletter ... I'm really looking forward to next week, the Ravens D is going to be a huge test for the Broncos O, hopefully the Broncos will be on the winning end.

With as solid a defense and running game as we have, if Jake could be consistant we'd be a team to truly fear. same can be said about the cowboys. only they need consistancy on Offense pretty much like the last 2 games. and to keep TO healthy as he has proved injury prone so far this year. but with Glen health, TO health and Jones health. all they need to do it protect bledsoe and they'd be set. than and the cowboys running game is finally starting to click which is great for protecting drew.

Commander Obi-Wan Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 oops I forgot to say HOW BOUT THEM BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Q.F.E I see that they aren't letting up. Well, the Bengals, that's a different story. Losing to the Patriots. And to Haynesworth I think he should've gotton suspended for the full season. Adn not like it matters, if he did. The Titans aren't doing much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus Q'ol Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 oops I forgot to say HOW BOUT THEM BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO BEARS!!!! I can see that Jae is as happy as I am. The Bears are actually looking like a contender. Granted, Alexander didn't play, but he really hasn't done anything special this season anyway. He's yet to get a 100 yard game this season I believe. It was good to watch the Bears actually run the ball like they protest to want to do so much. Grossman had another good outing as well, making good decisions and executing the offense very well. Some of his throws were quite awesome. Bernard Berrian is emerging from the shadows of receiving mediocrity into the spotlight of the proverbial deep threat. He's the second fastest man on the Bears, and it shows. His hands are OK too. What can I really say about this defense? They are an awesome unit. There's absolutely no running up the middle on them. They have a pass rush with the four upfront, linebackers are omnipresent, ballhawking d-backs and hard hitting safeties make receivers think twice before extending themselves over the middle. They are intimidating. Special teams punt coverage and such has been good, but the rookie punt returner needs to try not to do too much lest he find his way to the bench. Those fumbles could have been costly in a tighter game. The playcalling was timed well and I think Mr. Holmgren was a bit out-coached on Sunday. Lovie won that chessmatch. Of course, it's not a fair match when one player has 3 queens and 6 rooks. The Bears hold their own destiny in their big, furry paws. They have the so-called easiest remaining schedule and with a 4-0 start with 3 division wins, if they can stay healthy, then they have a shot at controlling their fate. I don't want to get ahead of myself, so I'll just stay focused on Buffalo, the next victim of a Bear mauling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, you care, or you wouldn't be posting in this thread. Yeah, the Bears have to stay healthy or all bets are off. Did you guys see Urlacher pulling one of the Seahawks down with just one arm? I saw on a replay he got his arm around the guy's thigh and just yanked him to the ground. Talk about strong. He got 7 tackles this game. That's a Bear for you....

Cygnus Q'ol Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 ^^^ Yes maam, I did. That was a beautiful thing. I just hope they can keep the flow goin' and continue to stay humble and improve. They do have a ways to go yet, but it's so nice to finally watch BEAR football again isn't it. GO BEARS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mav Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I think that if the Bears go '72 Dolphins this year, it is proof that Jae sold her soul to the devil , anyway, anybody else enjoy watching Denver's D stick it to the Ravens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 I think that if the Bears go '72 Dolphins this year, it is proof that Jae sold her soul to the devil , No, got down on my knees and prayed, son, prayed. That was one sweet Bears game. Gould set a new team record for consecutive field goals to start the season in that game. It was previously held by Kevin Butler, who was on the '85 Bears team. A fine omen, I think. And Benson got his first TD, too. If they stay healthy, they _could_ go all the way, but it's almost impossible to do that with the way all these guys play. Every team's going to lose people to injuries, but it's good to know we have some decent depth if we do lose people. Still, it's a lot of fun to see the defense just mow through every other team's offense, and watch Grossman march the offense down the field with some great throws.

ET Warrior Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 anyway, anybody else enjoy watching Denver's D stick it to the Ravens?Absolutely. It was also nice to see that the broncos offense managed to wear down the Ravens enough to finally start putting points on the board at the end of the game. It's starting to look like it's just the Broncos season plan to lose the first game of the season to a team we should beat, and then make up for it as the season progresses. I'm hoping our plan gets extended to include winning superbowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus Q'ol Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 @ET Warrior It looked as if the Broncos had the better defense in that game. Lewis is good but, he can't play alone. Jake's not a bad QB, he just has the unfortunate weight of playing after a legend. The same thing will happen in Green Bay when the almighty Favre finally departs. I feel sorry for the next guy in his shoes. As for the BEARS, It's like watching my Madden games, except Cygnus is much better looking than Grossman. If they stay healthy, humble, and productive, I really don't see too many teams beating them this year. The hardest games I can see on the schedule so far will be the Giants and the Patriots. I just hope they take no one lightly. You know the saying, "Any given Sunday, any team can beat any other team regardless of statistics or momentum."

Bimmerman Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Wow...Bears vs Cardinals....that was an amazing comeback. 24-23 Bears. Nearly everyone in the dorm was jumping and screaming at that win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Tonights game, does nothing but prove that Chicago has sold it's soul to the devil, you don't just come back and win from a 20 point deficit when your offense scores nothing, I don't care how good your defense is, it just never happens. Grossman looked like a "freah meat" rookie in this game and Leinart looked like a seasoned veteran, he brought his kicker well within filed goal range and the dude just biffed it. It's absolutely incredible, a combination of stupid players and stupid decisions are what cause the Cards to lose. First of all "Edge", why are you holding the ball with one hand while you're in a group of defenders desparately trying to make something happen? Secondly, who's the idiot who decided to punt to a guy who has the potential to take it to the house, when you know the opposing quaterback is playing like crap? If this game did anything for me, it proved me wrong in the fact that I thought Leinart wouldn't be able to cut it, he has showed that he can lead his team when they need him, it was pretty impressive in my opinion. But it is making me think I was right in thinking that Grossman is horribly inconsistant, however I'll hold judgement on that until I see how he rebounds in his next game. Even though this game seemingly is an omen for the Bears to go 16-0 with the miracle comeback, I think it's more foreboding doom, in the sense that it has shown a weakness. Just my 2 cents.

Jae Onasi Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'll take the win for sure , but the Bears didn't deserve it, to be honest. How the heck to you allow 20 points unanswered points in the first half with a D like the Bears have? How do you turn over the ball 6 times? How do you play so bad that the defense is forced to be on the field twice as long, and they score those 24 points that the O should be scoring? Without Hester's return for a TD and AZ's missed FG, there was no way to win. And I don't know what they put in Urlacher's gatorade in the 4th quarter, but they need to give it to everyone so they can all play with that kind of intensity. Ugly, ugly win.

Mav Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 an ugly win win is still a win, one more notch in the W column. I'm sure anyone would take and squirrely notch in the W column versus any notch in the L column Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Chicago had no business winning that game. I was still rooting for them, though. Also, I think it was the Bengals games, when they got called for roughing the QB, Like WTF?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I sat there dumbfounded last night watching the Chicago defense beat not only the Arizona Cardinal’s but their own offense. The most impressive thing to me was the Bear’s defense and how they flipped a switch in the second half and took total control of the game. Forget Manning or McNabb for MVP how about Brian Urlacher. I still don’t think the Bears have a chance of going undefeated, but as long as Urlacher remains healthy they have a shot. Every time the Bear offence got the ball in the forth quarter I was shouting at the TV, calling for them to punt the ball back on even on 1st down. I figured it was the only way they could score was to get their defense back on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 How about my Broncos eh? 37 points allowed in 5 games? Beating Oaklan 13-3 may not be that impressive, but the Broncos didn't even TRY to generate any offense after they already had the lead. Shanahan's confidence in our defense was obvious. (Also, his confidence in Oaklands offense sucking). Our offense has the potential to produce respectable points, and our defense is elite. FEAR.
