Are You Ready for Some Football - Week 14

[Ming]

The last thread went past 500 posts... time for a new one.

It's funny listening to the Chicago Media... you would think the Bears will make the playoffs based on winning back to back games against two sisters of the poor... They maybe able to make it three in a row in Detroit next week... but after that, we have to start playiing real teams again

I would like to offer my abject apologies to my FoG teammates for my 5-and-whatever showing this week. Never have I felt so low...

The Lions will rock the bears. I guarantee!!!

Also, I'm happy that the Texans won!

[Japher]

I'm also happy the Texans won, suprised the hell out of me...

I'm also glad the Niners won, now all the need to do is win the easy games and we might make the playoffs...

No problem, John

Fortunately for us, [WHO] and [BBB] both have one player not playing this week, so we'll probably extend our lead.

Go [FoG]!

The Bears are just beating the teams that are worse than them. The good things about this season are the development of young players... especially on defense... and the re-establishment of Anthony Thomas as the Bears number 1 back. I think Thomas, with a consistently healthy offensive line, can be one of the top 10 RB's in the game.

One thing about this season that I dislike is that Rex Grossman isn't being given any opprotunity to gain experience.

True, and I think that is a good thing. It is easier to get better than to learn discipline and team work, i.e. the Niners and Raiders.

The Bears need to develop, and I see them being really good in a few years.

Were any of you guys lucky enough to watch the Dallas-Washington game?

I watched the whole game, and as bad as the recap shows and sportscenter make it out to be, it was worse.

I felt sorry for Ramsey yesterday, he got hit everytime he tried to pass the ball. Spurrier looked like he had no clue how to stop it.

It was the worst coaching display I've seen in years. If the Cowboys hadn't played so lousy in the first half, they would have won by 30 at least.

Ramsey is tough guy to last through that game.

ACK!

I was, and the first was about as shameful a quarter that could be played. I think 5 minutes in Dallas had three turnovers, while poor Ramsey was hassled and pounded the entire day - I bet over half their offensive plays had him sacked, hurried, or otherwise at the mercy of the D.

It really was exhibition football - Jim Rome has it right when he said that Spurrier looks lost and confused out there.

So you know what I'm saying, the highlights really don't do it justice.

The best part was Cris Collinsworth, he was beating up everybody.

ACK!

Who predicted that the Pack would come out strong and beat the Vikes in the dome?



That's right.

The Pack will win the NFC North yet.

Why throw out the Rookie behind that line? Keep him on the bench and let him learn from there (like they did with McNair).

Damn straight!

There were many surprise wins last week. Farve winning, Detroit beating Oakland (though I has a feeling the back-up QB wouldn't be as good in a start), the Rams getting destroyed, Houston and New Orleans both pulling off the victories.

All in all, a very interesting topsy turvy week.

Congrats, Patriots, for socking it to the goddamned Broncos.
