It's Grossman time already.

Beautful throw by Neckbeard just befor the half. If he had started Super


Bowl (space emphasized for Headache) 41, Da Bears would have romped.

Maybe Drew Bledsoe can come out of retirement

Drew Bledsoemuch he needed a transfusion.

Kyle was waaaaaaaaaaaay too drunk that season.

 

[Got Philk?]

I really tried to back Grossman. But when Griese took over last year...

They may as well have started Orton. Look, he stays in the pocket. And when he does run, he actually hangs on to the football!

This game is a pleasant surprise!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Touchdown Chicago Bears!

Lance Briggs!

 

[Got Philk?]

WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!

 

[Screwtape2]

Yeah, don't tell me the preseason doesn't matter. The Colts offense is totally out of rhythm. The defense isn't doing much better.

We also saw the same mistakes with the Pats before Brady got hurt.

 

[Got Philk?]

AHHHHHH!!! 4 and 3!! BOOYAH!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

This game is over. Bears win.

Who saw this coming? Oh that's right...I did.

 

[Screwtape2]

Congrats to the Bears fans. Peyton had some amazing comebacks but clearly he is limited tonight.

Hopefully you guys can go far this season. I really like Lovie Smith and this Forte kid is pretty exciting.

It is insane to think that the four teams getting picked to win the AFC all lost.

The Pats barely beat the Chiefs but it is pretty much a loss by losing Brady.

The Colts obviously.

The Jags looked terrible.

The Chargers lost late.


The AFC has become wide open.

Apparently the colts AND the Cubs did not get the memo that it's my birthday

The Colts clearly suffered from rust in Manning and Harrison but mainly the loss of Saturday. Their snaps are not sharp and their protection poor.

The loss of Brady is huge. Now we'll probably have to be hearing about Favre all year as the Jets win the division.

With the losses by the Chargers and Jags too it looks like no one wants to step up, but it's a long season and anything can happen.

 

[Got Philk?]

I am going to predict that....San Diego disappoints this year.

 

[Screwtape2]

I didn't think I would ever say this but the NFC might be a better conference than the AFC this year. :shocking:

 

[phillyfan26]

Tiki Barber declared the NFC East the strongest division in football. I'm not sure I can agree with that since the Eagles aren't as good as they played today, and Washington sucked, but I cannot really think of a division that's much better.

I am so happy its football season again! Hi everyone!!

Phil - I SO hope you are not right!! Our lines played horrible today, it was like the majority of the defense forgot how to tackle. I felt like I wasn't even watching the Chargers play for about 3/4 of the game today. But Rivers looked really good, so that was a positive. The game was so fun to be at today, even if we lost, it was an exciting game! But losing with 2 seconds to go.
I'm not worried yet, but if the defense doesn't improve dramatically next week, I will start to worry!! Can't wait to see what happens this season.

the latest on our patient

Sources: Brady out with ACL tear - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

 

[Mr. BAW]

I suffered one of those, he can be back in 3 months...but then again, I wasn't gonna get hit by anyone over 250 lbs....

They are actually worried that he tore his MCL as well which they say would take 8 months to recover from.

 

[Screwtape2]

NFL Network reports that Brodie Croyle and Vince Young will probably be out 2-4 weeks.

I got to watch both losses LIVE and in person.

If the NFC East is the best division in football (I personally think it's the AFC South, though it certainly disappointed today), I would argue that the NFC West is the worst division in football. The Seahawks are worthless on the road, the Rams are terrible anywhere, and neither the 49ers, nor the Cardinals have a decent QB.

what a day...and...ouch too

 

[speedracer]

Jeez, I leave the country for a week and the entire NFL goes to hell.

 

[Moser]

Bear's defense scores 8. Beautiful.

 

[CTU2fan]

"Hello Daunte, it's Randy...about that retirement thing - how serious was that?"

I'm in football hell.

 

[phanan]

I love how people are saying (at other sites) that there is no way they will make the playoffs now.

Sure, the Patriots won't get to the Super Bowl this year (hell, they may not win the AFC East now), but with the schedule they have, I wouldn't be surprised if they still win 10 games.

The preseason does matter. But you don't need four games to figure out what you need to do.

And the preseason had nothing to do with Brady getting hurt.

Sorry Phanan but I think they'd be lucky to win seven games. That defense is way too suspect. If KC wasn't so pitiful they could have scored a lot more points and ran away with that game.
