Cut Bryan Robinson -- invisible and expensive.
Cut R. W. McQuarters -- bad hands, bad technique, bad attitude.
Cut Jerry Azumah -- failed experiment. Admit it!
Cut David Terrell -- boneheaded blowhard.
Oh, and bench Knight and play the rookie LB.

Screw the cap hits. It can't get worse than this, and maybe, just MAYBE, those left standing would think you're serious about winning...

Then BUY SOME REAL LINEMEN, YOU IDIOTS!!

Good start.

Bring back Buddy Ryan.
Bring back Ditka.
Make McMahon the quarterback coach.

My God, but that defense looks bad. So many big holes for the running backs. So many wide open receivers right over the middle. Either the players suck or the coaching sucks, or both.

For generations the Bears fielded good to great defenses. It is their trademark. It is hard being a Bear fan and seeing this.

It was pretty funny when the Bears crept back within 8 points. Madden & Michaels were falling all over themselves saying "suddenly we've got a ballgame" and "it's now a one-possession game."

My reaction -- "That possession's coming up right now." And the Pack scored within a couple minutes. Then scored again.

I must admit, I love the way Green Bay goes about their business. Take the crowd out of the game early, and never let them back in.

At the end, they pour it on. Attacking the end zone with a 22-point lead and under 10 minutes to go. This is a team that has a winning attitude and understands the value of unabated aggression. When your opponent is down, step on his throat!

Until he retires, they might as well start calling the new digs "Favre Field".

(WTF happened to the Pack against Arizona???????)

It was also nice to see Madden noting just how often Urlacher was either being blocked out of a play, or overran it on his own. (Unlike the previous week on Sunday night, when Paul McGuire couldn't stop praising him despite all evidence to the contrary.)

Without the 2-Ton Tandem in front of him, Urlacher's not much of a difference maker.

[Frozzy]

Fire the whole bloody team and get a new one. It can't be worse that the one CHI have at the moment.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Yeah, but keep Urlacher, and I guess A-Train can stay as well .

was it. R.W. McQuarters last year who screwed up being greedy to get the TD for himself?

I remember just before halftime last year chicago was running an INT back for a touchdown. I can't remember the exact details, but I think R.W. McQuarters got in some trouble and didn't lateral the ball even when there was an open man next to him. He was tackled and time ran out in the half.

selfish play.

You got it assbackwards wrong. McQuarters, instead of blocking, positioned himself for the lateral instead on an INT runback and got the guy who caught the ball tackled.

Wow, the NFL preview show on NHK is a ****ing trip. This gaijin's Japanese is pretty good, though.

[Drake Tungsten]

The show ended with a gratuitous video of hot, blonde NFL cheerleaders.

Since some of the discussions continue... I've just changed the name of the thread...

Week 5 is ready to begin...
6 Teams remain undefeated. And there are some great matchups this week.

The Monday night game looks like it will be a "fun" game... and HAS to better and more entertaining than last week's Monday Night game.

Are you ready for some football

[Ming]

Sigh... Oakland scored on the first drive... at least they missed the extra point. (first one he has missed this year)

[H Tower]

At this point I'm glad I don't have good TV reception so I don't have to watch the Bears lose again

[Jac de Molay]

I'm interested to see how my Lions turn out this week again Mooch's old team, who are struggling.

They lost a close one at Denver last week, and hopefully, finally we can finally get a road win.

[Ming]

A lot of "homecomings" for coaches this week... some interesting matchups

[Jac de Molay]

Well so far so good on fantasy- Moss with two tds and even Terry Glenn getting into the action.

Green Bay is destroying Seattle right now .
