  • Sounds like it was an even worse beating than the score would suggest.


    Curtis Martin's on my fantasy team, and that should lock up another win for me.

    • Miami was whipped from the start.
      The Jets are looking goooood.

      I believe Lamont Jordan just got himself a nice contract and a starting job somewhere next year.

          • I wonder why the Bears seldom find success with their quarterbacks. St. Louis has had tremendous success with two successive quarterbacks. Now we have a rookie in Pittsburgh making that team into a Superbowl favorite. The Bears could have drafted Culpepper. Instead they took McNown. The Bears could have drafted Leftwich. Instead they took Grossman who looked mediocre until he was hurt. I could go on and on and on. It seems given the law of averages that the Bears would get a good quarterback at least once in a while.

            (Miller was good. But he was promptly suspended, then he got hurt. This is almost as bad as a Breek tragedy.)

            • Quarterbacks do not operate in a vacuum. You will never have a great quarterback unless:
              The offensive line can give him time
              He has a running game to balance out his passing attempts
              He has receivers that can get open and adjust to blitzes

              You can have a good quarterback with 2 out of 3. How many of the above to the bears have?

                • Which is why he was only a good quarterback. Great ones win championships.

                  • I disagree. He was a great quarterback. Just one player alone can't win championships, takes a team.

                    • Just a quick note: In tommorow's MNF game, look out for #21 on the Colts defense, Bob Sanders. In his first NFL 3 quarters, he racked up 9 tackles at SS, sent Derrick Blaylock out of the game with a deep thigh bruise, and send Priest Holmes flipping and flying at the goal line, and landed on his head. The Colts finally have someone who can tackle... and boy can this guy tackle. He's like a human torpedo.

                      • also look for the vikings to lose, which means next week's vikings-packers game will be for 1st place in the NFC North

                        • The Eagles are the top team in the NFC?

                          Ouch.

                          • The Eagles looked very good until this week. They are just running into a very confident Steelers team.

                            • Are the Steelers really this good?

                              • They seem to be.

                                ACK!
