    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.

    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.
  • Sep 28, 2010, 08:18 AM

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Go Bucks!

    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.

    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 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.
