Bears 27 Cowboys 20 :) Bears 2 - 0

Vikings lose again Vikings 0 - 2

Pittsburgh wins again... Steelers 2 - 0

Come on now... let's hear from you about this and/or your team/s... :)

How about My Colts and My Saints?

Yep, they are 2 and 0 also Kit...

BEARS WIN !!! BEARS WIN!!!!

Bears beat those pesky Packers 20 - 17 Monday night!!

Woot Woot!! They pulled it off after all! I was starting to get worried!

Yep me too. But this year it feels different J. I mean I have more confidence in them, they seem to have it together more than in the past few years. They have some good players, excellent new coaches and play like they can and should win... I like it. When they win, I personally have a better week. Crazy right?

I was watching the game on taped delay (that way I can zoom past the commercials) and someone said "sorry Stringer - Go Packers" I watched the rest of the game thinking that they had already lost... I was delighted with their win...

3 and 0 The ONLY undefeated team in their conference.

I'm lovin' it. Haven't talked to the hubby since before halftime, but I'm sure he's elated too.

Remember, DaBears are basically a second half team. I never feel defeated during the first half of te game, but rather look forward to the second half.

You're right about that. I think the combination of Cutler and Martz (sp) has added a lot to the success so far.

Go Bucks!!

50+ games with 100,000+ in attendance... and a DARN good team to boot!

Good team always Rick. Your school?

Yep. Went to OSU 1982-1988.

I'm a Buckeye through and through (yes, even when they have sucked) :)

For me in college football I like Pitt, Stanford, West Virginia. And some locals: Northwestern an maybe Purdue.

"(even when they have sucked)" That my friend is what a fan is... think of my Bears and the Steelers in the 60's... enough said. :)

When I was a kid I loved the Steelers (back at the "steel curtain" times)... and stuck with them through the 80s when they really stunk...

I haven't followed any of the pro teams since then but still call myself, when asked, a Steeler fan... but admittedly I don't know anything about them anymore.

In the 60's they were the floor mat of the whole NFL. One year they won 1 game and looked bad doing that. But they turned it around in the 70's, my heart was in every down.

Steelers are now 3 - 1 Lost today to the Ravens...

Bears play tonight at the Giants.

The Bucks gave us a bit of a scare this weekend... but they pulled it off! ;)

Yep, we're a bit concerned about the Iowa and Wisconsin games away from home coming up...

Go Bucks!

Glad they pulled it out Rick!

Well the Bears 'bubble' burst' 'they were who we thought they were... ' Sacked 10 times... what an offensive line... grrrrr.

How did I miss this thread? I am sad now. Thanks for pointing it out to me Stringer!

Well there is 1 team left undefeated. I can't believe it is the Kansas City Chiefs. I would like to say, the Colts will end their little victory streak but now I am unsure about the Colts ability to do that.

I love the Colts and I always will, but just not used to being on the losing side. Jacksonville and the Texans are two teams that are better than the Colts. I say this because out of all the teams we play, these two teams always give us a run for our money.

I think their main goal in the season is to beat the Colts. They always come so close and this year they both did it. So good for them.

Take MJD for example, one of the best running backs in the league. He was having a bad year so far this year but against the Colts he can once again have a great year.
He has a fantasy league of his own and you know who his running back is or at least one of them? Himself of course. Well guess who he had starting against the Colts Sunday, himself of course. Even he knew he was going to have a good game yesterday because a few people know our big weak spots in the line and hit it repeatedly. I am guessing MJD doesn't always start himsefl or they wouldn't have been talking about it yesterday.

31 to 28 is close Adam, sorry that they lost though.

Yea, when they said their goal was the 42 yard line, I was thinking really? That is about a 60 yard field goal, that is crazy. Then they said Scobee has one of the strongest legs in the NFL. That worried me, I think he could have made it from even farther back. I was hoping for an overtime game. I didn't get to watch the Bears game because I don't have cable at the moment until they come fix it. I checked the score before I went to bed on my phone and it said it was 3-0 at a few minutes into the third quarter. I figured it was just a slow game, but from what I hear and read, it sounds like the defense was crazy.

Both teams played excellent defense, but the Giants defense got to Cutler 9 times in the first half and gave him a concussion. Then after three plays they knocked out our second string QB... WE NEED AN OFFENSIVE LINE. They are directly responsible for Cutler's concussion in my opinion. It was terrible Adam.

Yea, that seems pretty rough. I can't believe the line let them through 10 times. 9 times to Cutler. Quarterbacks shouldn't have to take a hit. I wonder if the offensive line was really mad at him? Even if they were I don't think they would risk losing their first came because of it.

Isn't this week the week that Big Ben comes back? I listed his name this way because I don't know how to spell his name and didn't feel like trying it. I kind of don't want him to come back. Is that bad? I just want to see how good they can do without him.

I agree he has problems Adam.

This week is a bye for the Steelers the following week he comes back.

I must confess that I have not followed Pro Football in a long time. I do, though, love to watch the College teams... and of course the BUCKEYES!

C'mon folks, let's hear something in this thread about your favorite College team(s) too! :)

Go Bucks!

Men!

Love you all, but just have to say. Men! ;)

Go Eskimos. :)

I wish I could Rick, but like you I mainly follow the NFL... but I'll keep an eye out bud.

Go Eskimos. :)

Hey hon how are you? Fine I hope...

ESKIMOS?!?!?!? Oops we have 'um too.. in Alaska... :)

Go Indiana University!

Sorry, I really don't follow them. I just hear the guys at work talk about the Hoosiers a lot. So that is where I get my info from. IU is located very very close to me to so that's why I said them. They may suck for all I know.

I was born in Indiana and have lots of family there. I watched part of the game last weekend.

I was bummed to see Michigan win the day. I was rooting for Indiana all the way.

I heard it was a close one though.

What part of Indiana?

Most of my gang is in Hagerstown (where my parents lived when I was born) and Cambridge City. My ancestors were all in and around Randolph, Henry and Wayne Counties.

Oh, so you were pretty far nothe of me.

Is IU and Ohio state playing this weekend?

Is IU and Ohio state playing this weekend?

Yes. Noon kickoff. It will be on ESPN.

I'll be at the game when we play Purdue on the 23rd: At the 50 yard line in the 2nd row behind the team. Look for me on TV! :p

50 yard line, 2nd row, Ohio Side. Check! I will check it out. I heard the guys talking and they suspect another loss coming for IU this Saturday.

I'm a Bucks fan big time but know too well that anything can happen... but I think that "the guys" are right: the Hoosiers will get a beating :p

I am sure they will, I wish I followed college more. That way I can follow players for longer even into the NFL. My luck, I will get stuck watching the wrong guy. :)

I wish I could have watched Peyton Manning in college but I was about 5-8 years old then. All I can do is watch the highlights now.

So, what was with Mannings poor performance this past Sunday?

I only saw highlights Adam. But I believe it is difficult to maintain the level he plays at every game. He did OK bud.

Yea, I was just surprised he went a game with out a touchdown and he did'nt even reach 300 yards which is understandable. He is projected a very good game this week so we will see. I am guessing they are predicting this is his revenge week.

AND Adam... that is usually what happens right?

It was announced this morning that Cutler will be back to start against Seattle this Sunday. Winning ugky but we ARE 4-1 after all...

The Bucks moved up to #1! :)

Don't start that Carp again! You do this every year and LOSE!

Ha haaaa... very funny Rick, made me smile and my morning, thanks.

Don't start that Carp again!! You do this every year and LOSE!

You got me there... but not EVERY year! We DO have a recent National Championship and have done pretty darn well since then :)

Ummm, recent? Really?

Time for a tailgate party at your house. When is the next game? I'll bring the imported beer, you cook my steak EXACTKLEY as ordered.

Hey, I'm an old man so I call 8 years ago "recent".

I know you're fairly close to me so I PMd you my address. Next time you're heading my way just let me know. I'll have steaks on the grill, all you can drink, and a big couch on which to sleep it off it needs be.

And bring your gun: I'll take you to the shooting range, my treat.

I PM'd you my info too.

Which gun should I bring?

Bring whatever you want. There are many ranges around me but I'm not a member at the one that allows fully automatic... so I'd say bring your favorite handguns and plenty of ammo and we can shoot them up to your heart's desire.

I just sold my Taurus 380 and got a Smith and Wesson (also 380). I'm a .380 fan: It's what I carry daily and what I use on the range the most.

Tomorrow will be a tough game for the Buckeyes. I'm not very good at predictions, but I like to try anyway:

Ohio State: 24
Wisconsin: 17

Go Bucks!

Well the Bears are 7 - 3 and I still don't know who they are.

This coming Sunday they face the Phillies and Vick... God help us!

Hey Adam, Bears and the colts have the same record so far.

Hey Stringer, this year, the Bears are better than the Colts. Yes, you did hear me right. I don't know what is wrong with Manning but he just isn't what he was in years past. He has screwed us twice this year. I am becoming dissapointed. Well, you know how the Colts and Manning are with their comebacks and they always get it done and win. You know what their record should be is 9-1. We wasn't coming back in the Houston game, I give them that. We should have won the Jacksonville game because a 59 yd field goal is ridiculous. We had a chance to beat Philly but guess what, Manning ended the game with an interception. We could have beat the Patriots in overtime at the least but guess what, Manning ended the game with an interception. So so so dissapointed. I am very impressed with the Bears this year though, 7-3, had a shutout against the Dolphins. Pretty impressive.

:eek: puke.

Go Green, Go White, or GO HOME!!!!

They'll have a tough game this weekend.

HI Adam,

All players have glitch periods when things don't go well, the Colts will be in the playoffs and they will do fine.

As for the Bears... "Who are these guys?" Yep, still don't know if they really earned the 7-3 record. Let's wait until after the Philly game, I have a very bad feeling about this one...

I wouldn't worry about the Philly game. They are doing great right now with Vick dominating the field. He is going to make it tough for any team as he has the past 3 weeks. The Bears have a great defense so I think they will do just fine. My question is, how do you defend against Philly? If you drop back to cover his receivers, he will run the ball and get positive yards. If you stay close and cover the line, he will burn you deep. I am still confused.

As an Eagle fan this Bears game is one that scares me. Their Defenses is great and they can put up some points. The Eagles line is so bad that if the Bears D can (and that's a big Can) contain Vick in the pocket the Bears will have a chance. But I still have the McNabb is going to blow it for us mentality So I could be completely wrong.

Well Cutler is improving with the new Martz system however you can expect at least one interception from him he tries to force some throws. The Bears have 3 pretty good receivers though. If Vick wasn't playing I would feel better, but he is. Lovie Smith said today that he has something special in mind for the game? We'll see.

Oh and our offensive line... still a question mark, but all the starters are back for this game... maybe Peppers can grab a few.

I think the game is in the afternoon, 4:15 PM here.

Let the Bears keep rolling. Let the Colts win the next 5 games and the Jaguars lose the next 5 games. Everyone OK with that?

Let the Bears keep rolling. Let the Colts win the next 5 games and the Jaguars lose the next 5 games. Everyone ok with that?

I don't watch Pro Football much but I did watch the last half of the Bears game this past weekend. Twas an awesome game!

The Bears looked awesome!

Vick leads him team in an awesome way but the Bears countered it well.

Who can't love Vick's skills no matter who you root for? That dude is awesome!

YAY!! The Colts finally won a game. Even though it was against the horrible Titans and it was a barely win. Well, I guess they didn't have time to score again to win. Did anybody see the game? Even though it screwed Manning and Wayne out of a touchdown, I still find it funny that Blair White almost stole it from Wayne. Dang Superbowl Hangover!

Same thing happened to the Bears in 1987 and 2006 Adam. Plus they asked for raises so some of the good ones were traded... :(

Yea, injuries have killed the Colts this year. I'm not trying to blame it all on the injuries but I think it is a big factor. Everybody is putting blame on Manning, but there are 10 other guys out on the field as well who are supposed to do their job. I would say 90% of his interceptions came from bad blocking and he would get hit while throwing. Plus, rookies and others running wrong routes screws things up. Everybody is lost right now and needs to fix some things. What upsets me is that Everybody has so much hate for Manning this year. I mean, come on! He is only human for one. Plus look at all the years he was a great quarterback and what he did for the Colts. He has been on a 8.5 year hitting streak and now he is in a slump, even though I don't consider it one. But people keep saying how Manning sucks and he needs to retire. How could you say that after what he has done. I still have faith in Manning and the Colts. I guess you can tell a lot of people were only along for their winning ride then jumped off when they were struggling. Not a lot of true fans like they say they are.

The same here Adam, now that the Bears are winning (at least up to now) there are a ton of fair weather fans.

Everyone goes into a slum occasionally and I agree it is not all Manning's fault.

What a beating the Bears took, they are bleeding and not only from the nose; 36 - 7 and they weren't even in the game... :(

Sorry Stringer, I didn't watch the game but I kept checking the score and couldn't believe it.

How about them Lions :D
7-3 over the Packers
3-10 overall
Looking good (for the Lions anyways)

How bout them Lions :D
7-3 over the Packers

Yep and knocked Rodgers out with a concussion.

Ahh my good ol' Lions. 3-10 but I love to watch em' play

Best play this year is when Suh kicked that extra point. (he missed) but there's something about a 300+lb defensive lineman kicking a field goal that just makes your day :)

I was very impressed with the lions win. Now did Rodgers go out in the beginning of the game? If so what does that say about the Packers without Rodgers?

Maybe they'll pick up Favre haha

Haha. Favre is done. No question about it.

Haha. Favre is done. No question about it.

Yep, and it won't be his choice this time either.

Let me ask you'se a question then.

By Favre coming back from retirement the past few years (mostly this year and last year) did it hurt him? (reputation wise and hall of fame wise)?

Let me ask you'se a question then.

By Favre coming back from retirement the past few years (mostly this year and last year) did it hurt him? (reputation wise and hall of fame wise)?

I can't be fair in my answer as I NEVER liked Bart Fart at all, An he has shown himself to be even less in the last couple years...

Let me ask you'se a question then.

By Favre coming back from retirement the past few years (mostly this year and last year) did it hurt him? (reputation wise and hall of fame wise)?

All I have to say is he should have stayed retired the first time. His reputation is not going to be great at all. Him coming back did secure his records a little bit but Manning can still reach some of them so he isn't completely safe in his records.

Either Favre kept coming back to secure his records or like he said he loved the game so much and he didn't know what else to do. Either way, I am glad he will be done after this year. I don't see a team picking him up after this year. Look what he did with the Vikings this year? And they have some great players.

I don't think you will be looking back and saying, "One of the greatest Quarterbacks of all time was Brett Favre" He took that away from himself when he came back. People lost respect.

Well, the Metrodome collapsed, I guess even God wants Bart Fart to retire... :rolleyes:

HAHA classic comment Stringer. Very nice! I agree 110% Adam. I will never view Brett Favre as the greatest or one of the greatest!

Well the Colts move up to 8-6 on the year and are 2 games away from making the playoffs. Hopefully they win out and Jacksonville loses out. I can't believe that we had a running game yesterday and Jacksonville had none.

Thanks adam, with the bears well... you never know. They definitely have talent but... you don't know who will show up to play at 100%. AND another game on a frozen field... enough is enough. I'll bet you that there will be injuries.

Yea, playing on that field is going to be tough. At least neither team is at an advantage for home field except that Minnasota has probably been using it the past week or so. Hopefully no injuries.

Did you watch the game j? Hester broke the return punts for TD record tonight and Cutler was maaaarvelous...

And that defense wow! Urlacker even had an interception although it was called back due to a penalty. Farve started but was out by the second quarter.

Feed the Bears!! They captured their N E Division title tonight as Green Bay lost yesterday. Second now in the NFC,

Actually, I was sleeping until around 10:30. Hubby woke me up with his hooping and hollering!!

What's up with Favre? Hubby said this may be his last game ever.

As I said in this thread. ' I think even God wants him to retire as he deflated the Metrodome... :rolleyes: :) Never liked the guy personally or professionally...

Yay! Bears beat the crap out of the Vikings and of all teams, the Bears gave Favre a concussion that may have ended his career for good. Good job Bears. I hope to see you in the Superbowl against the Colts. It could easily happen but would definitely be a better game with the Colts playing a little worse and the Bears playing a lot better. Just have to get in the playoffs and get past the Patriots.

I hope to see you in the Superbowl against the Colts.

HAHAHAHAHA don't make me laugh so hard I almost pee'd :D

HAHAHAHAHA don't make me laugh so hard I almost pee'd :D

Which part about that is funny?

The Bears making it to the Superbowl or the Colts?

I am pretty sure the Colts have made it to the Superbowl a couple of times, and due to injuries we have been sucking this year but still stand a good chance of making it to the playoffs and the superbowl. Colts are still one of the best teams in the NFL. As well as Peyton Manning is one of the best Quarterbacks of all time. That is a fact! Not an opinion.

The Colts! I am a die-hard Colt hater (maybe because my uniform in HS was an exact replica of the colts unifrom ;)) but either way I am not a Manning fan.

PS. I don't like the Bears because their in the same division as my beloved Lions!

How is this a fact. Statistically yes! But you didn't say that. Calling someone the best or one of the best of all time is merely opinion. If you are referring to statistics then yes I agree but if you're referring to that article that was released were Manning was rated # whatever then I disagree!

Ok, I was according to statistics and the records he is one the way to break. I knew there were people out there that hated the Colts and Manning but I never wanted to come across them. I guess it is like my hate for Tom Brady and the Patriots.

I feel you. I don't want to get in an argument here with anybody so I will just let it be. The Bears are a potential enemy of mine but I still like them.

NO problem guys, enjoy the playoffs. :)

Well at least the Bears will make the playoffs. Hopefully the Colts will. Maybe someday the Lions will make it.

Well atleast the Bears will make the playoffs. Hopefully the Colts will. Maybe someday the Lions will make it.

Hopefully, win or lose I support them. But I'm not holding my breath. So many close games this year that they easily could have been atop the NFC North

I agree. I think they should have won a lot more games than they have. I thought they had the Patriots beat then they must have felt out of place being up so they just quit.

Good job Colt's and good job Manning for running the ball for 27 yds. That was impressive. Then he was so respectful that he slid instead of scoring the touchdown. Most people don't play with that anymore. Good Job Bears... close one.

Respectful? He should have ran the extra two yards.

P.S. 3 game winning streak in Detroit. :D The town doesn't know what to do!

Yes, I just read about that a few minutes ago. Sorry I didn't include that. I was actually mad that Manning didn't run in the touchdown. Really dissapointing because it will never happen again.

Well very poor showing for the Bears yesterday but they have the 2nd seed in the NFC, we'll see.

Congrats on the Colts Adam they nade the playoffs, I told you they would.

And watch out for those Lions next year. Was it 4 or 5 straight wins recently?

4 wins! No longer streak in the NFL besides the Pats. (I think that's the first time I've ever referenced the Lions with the Patriots) ;)

4 wins! No longer streak in the NFL besides the Pats. (I think thats the first time I've ever referenced the Lions with the Patriots) ;)

Some times even a team with a lot of talent needs one thing and that is to learn to win. And it looks as though they have.

6-10 overall. Can't complain. With the close games and last minute loses taken care of the Lions easily could have been 12-4. (6 games were 5 pts. Or less and mostly lost in the 4th qrtr)

Going to the Colts game on Saturday! Can't wait!

Congrats Adam have fun!

I will have a blast I hope. I won't have good seats but they are better than some and at least I will get an experience.

Are you going to see the Bears Stringer? They got homefield didn't they?

Seats available were all sold out in fifteen minutes Adam, didn't have a snowball's chance in ****.

Wow really? Ours just went on sale Sunday night because nobody knew until then if the Colts were going to the playoffs. I just bought mine today and you can still find them her and there.

I've been having some health problems lately Adam, bronchitis and a bit of pneumonia it seems, I'll be fine. But I'll most likely be watching it here at home or at my son's home.

I found 7,173 tickets available for the Bears game. Bad news is the starting price is $185.

Thanks Adam I'll be OK, promise.

Alrighty then!

As far as what I said about the Bears tickets that is what I read in the Chicago Tribune yesterday Adam.

Oh I guarantee they all sold out. What I found is people who bought and are now selling them individually. :)

I am sorry Adam, it was a good game and I thought they had it won.

Stringer

I am sorry Adam, it was a good game and I thought they had it won.

Stringer

Thanks Stringer. It was an exciting game to be at but sad that they lost. The Colts couldn't move the ball well all game. It was very dissapointing. Sanchez couldn't complete a pass to save his life but bothe running backs ran us over which is surprising compared to what we were doing on defense.

My biggest question is: On 3rd and 4 with 1 minute left to go and you already in field goal range and you are down by 1 point what do you do?

My answer: You run the ball up the middle. Possibilities that could happen: you gain the 4 yards and pick up the 1st down. Continue running the ball down the field while the clock continues and forcing the Jets to call their timeouts; Another option, you run the ball and pick up no yards but the clock will continue to run forcing the Jets to call a timeout. After Clock gets down far enough or you can't push the ball any further, kick the field goal with no time left and win the game or kick the field goal and give them the ball with less time and less timeouts.

Colts answer: Throw a pass and it comes up incomplete. No first down and the clock is stopped and you are forced to kick a field goal. Give the Jets the ball back with a minute left and 2 timeouts. You know how the rest played out.

Another question, why the hell would Caldwell call a timeout for the Jets?

I can't wait J. I've got everything ready; Some cold ones, chips, burgers and my Bear paraphernalia, tee shirt, hoody, Bear glasses (for the cold ones), even my little dancing Chicago Bear. When the Bears score I just have to push the button and it dances and sings 'we will, we will ROCK YOU!"

Usually have at lease 8 to 10 friends over, not this time as I will be on the couch with this damn pneumonia thing going on... :(:mad:

Even got Marta to stop studying for a couple hours to watch the game with me. She is going to wear one of my bear's tees.

We aren't having a big shindig today either since I have to work and will be napping.

Heck, I'm not even cooking this time. I've got some sausage rotel dip on, but that's about it.

Actually Ex I will be depressed all week if the Bears happen to blow it...

I knew that you had a kind heart... :)

Well the Bears played an all around good game, didn't blow it.

But they relaxed in the 4th quarter, not good as a hungry Green Bay team is coming to Chicago next week.

Where are you guys...

I need a shout out!!

Wow, you guys have been busy talking football and I have been missing it.

I'm kind of liking the way the games played out this weekend. Few suprises though. Like the Jets beating the Pats. I didn't know who to cheer for, I hate them both. I have to admit though I was cheering for the Jets. The Bears seemed to have killed the Seahawks at first. I didn't watch much because it was turning into a blowout. Just like the Packers blew out the Falcons. I am ready to watch the Bears vs. the Packers now. Going to be another good game.

Hi Adam,

Bears defense relaxed a bit late in the 4th and gave up some scoring. Otherwise it was a good game.

Next week you should feel the earthquake in Chicago all the way to the west coast Ex. Not sure about beating those pesky Packers though.

"There will be blood..."

It is going to be a great game like their last match up. A number 4 defense against a number 5 defense.

It is going to be a great game like their last match up. A number 4 defense against a number 5 defense.

In their last game (10 - 3 Packers) no matter what the Bears said they weren't giving 110% however their defense did a pretty good job against Rodgers (sp). This one next Sunday... for all the 'toys'.

Not sure but I heard it is a 'pick 'um. That means the Packers are picked to win as the home team gets 3 points for being at home.

I see the Bears vs. Steelers in the Superbowl. That is my guess. I could be totally wrong and it might be Packers vs. Jets. I hope for you it will be the Bears. They really deserve it. I think it is time.

That would be tough one Adam as I love both teams, but I think I'll be hoping for the Bears. But even so I would enjoy watching the Steelers beat the Jets.

The Jets are a sloppy team and shouldn't have been here to begin with. They are some trash talkers too. Wonder what they are going to say about the Steelers game.

I tend to agree, especially Ryan. He makes himself look somewhat like a country hick with his tactics. However it seems to motivate his team, I hope it doesn't cause trouble on the field in a very negative way.

Ok, take the new poll above... sorry for the spelling errors Wondergirl... I hit submit too quickly... :o

Do you not give the other options any chance?

Like The Jets vs. the Bears or the Steelers vs the Packers?

I like your scenerio better though.

First poll I have done Adam. It didn't offer me more choices, or maybe I screwed it up... probably the latter.

I wasn't disrespecting or anything Stringer. It was just an honest quiestion.

The picture sounds classic Stringer. What time is the game this weekend and what day?

2:05 Pm Chicago time Adam, Steelers game right after.

I know I should be shot for asking, but what day are the games? Saturday or Sunday?

Bang!

Sunday Adam.

Ouch!

Thank you very much!

Ouch!

Thank you very much!

You're welcome.

Wish I had your phone number as I would call you during the game bud.

Bears are having some trouble... down 7... 1st quarter.

Oh well...

Hanie (Bears third string QB) did a pretty good job though, always liked him. Too little too late.

Still hoping the Steelers win and then I can cheer against Green Bay in the SB.

Sorry to hear about the game outcome Stringer. I was playing Euchre during the game and didn't see much of what was going on. I did hear most of the highlights though.

Tis OK Adam, I'll survive... :)

Ok, I was hoping for them though. They deserved it.

I bleed with them however I do think that they were somewhat lucky this year and their luck just ran out.

But considering they were running with their third string quarterback, they did pretty good. If the Colts have all their players back next year then they should be rolling on all cylinders. I'm hoping anyway.

I would like to see a few changes though. Manning is looking at a new contract which is good. We have a few more players that will be looking to be resigned or let go.

Bullitt they will probably resign, as well as Charlie Johnson. Vinatieri might not be a good choice to resign if it is anything more than a year. Addai will probably get resigned even though he is no good and we could get a better running back even though we don't need one but it would help the game all around.

I say they need to get rid of Bob Sanders, he is a waste of money. They should trade him and Addai somewhere and get a good running back. We need a few new offenseive lineman too. Or they need to make them stronger.

Sounds like a good analysis Adam.

Bears:

Much stronger offensive line with added experience.

A fast, big and experienced receiver.

Personally, I give Cutler one more year he needs to mature.

Sometimes is takes time to take in your surrounding and make the righ plays and get adjusted. That was one bog mistake the Colts had this year was trying to work with all these new guys and to get them to run the right routes and be on the same page as Manning. It was hard and we never got there.

Yeah, same with the Bears Adam...

As it says in my signature, my friend.

Nice, I like it.

Well we did have the Blackhawks last year winning the Stanley Cup...

To me not quite the same but...
