Da Bears

[Bub]

"There's a certain team, from a certain town... Da Bears!" :hyped:

After last night, maybe, just maybe they'll generate some O to compliment that D.

[GSUBass]

give AP the ball and they'll be able to generate some offense....:smiley_wi

[CoastalFan2005]

The Bears flat-out scare me. They're going to cause quite a ruckus in the playoffs.

[ASU Kep]

As an avid Falcons fan, I was absolutely furious last night. We were exposed, big time. If not for our D (and a questionable Bear's O), that game would've been a massive blowout. It's taken me years to admit it, but Vick = Over-rated. Best of luck in the playoffs, I have a feeling we won't be there. Good thing App was amazing this year, otherwise I think I'd be one depressed football fan right now. And BTW, Grossman's the guy. :D

[Bub]

I did notice the announcers kept making, what seemed like, excuses for Vick. Well, he's still learning etc... Come on, how long has he been a starting NFL QB? At some point you have have to sink or swim. :twocents:

There is no doubt Da Bears got a lift when Grossman came in and he sure seemed to have a heck of a grasp of what to do for a guy with the limited amount of playing time he has under his belt. He also had a lot more zip on his passes than Orton, maybe because he was more confident? Orton has done what the team asked of him, and who knows may have to ask of him again, if Grossman can't stay injury free.

[TypicalTribe]

The Bears are a one-dimensional team and they can only win one type of game. If they fall behind in the playoffs, they will be done.

[Bub]

Bla, bla, bla... I'm not listening. :smiley_wi

[TypicalTribe]

Bla, bla, bla... I'm not listening. :smiley_wi

What's the difference between this Bears team and the one that went 12-4 a few years ago before losing in the 1st round of the playoffs?

[CoastalFan2005]

Yeah, I'm not sure how questionable Da Bears' O is with Grossman back. If he stays healthy...the whole "if you put up points on Da Bears, you can win" argument won't be valid. Da Bears are going to be a huge contender in the playoffs.

[Bub]

First of all, Tribe you seem to have it in for my Bears. I can't understand how any right thinking American could reach this view. So which is it, are you not right thinking or not American? ;)

Seriously, I do see some similarities between this team and the 13-3(I think that was the correct record) Bears who last made the playoffs. They both have great D, but I think this team has a lot more than that team did. That year was a fluke. Jim Miller, he of the weak arm, didn't muster much O and the D wasn't as good as this one. This D is just flat out tough.

If Orton were to continue as QB, then I think your question is more valid. With Grossman as QB I don't believe the comparsion is as accurate because he has a stronger arm, more game sense and the O seems to have more panche with him in there. Time will tell. :xmas:

How could Jim Miller have a "weak arm" when he was pumping 'roids

BTW, the bears won't do jack in the playoffs

[*****]

Defense and:

[Bub]

Hanzel us Iowa guys gotta stick together, right? Wait a minute you're not one of those low down Packer or Viking fans are you? :p Cause both those teams will be sitting at home for the playoffs, except for those Vikes that will be in court for their little boat ride. xazzx

If Miller was pumping roids someone forgot to explain to him the instructions, casue I don't think he was doing them right. :)

[bodoyle]

Tribe: Falling behind 3-0 is the worst I see happening no matter what quarter the game is in.

Vick and the Falcons just gave up because their southern a$$e$ were not used to what us Chicagoans call "fall". It's not even Winter yet Just gunna get colder, snowier, and windier. BRING IT!!!! I can not wait until Favre gets planted on XMAS and doesn't move - getting taken off on a stretcher!!! DEATH TO FAVRE :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:

And there is a reason why "AP" runs about 5 times a game only.

[Bub]

Hold on their bodoyle, if we kill Favre then we can't sign him next year after he's left those sorry azzed Packers. Think man , think. :smiley_wi

[TypicalTribe]

I have nothing against the Bears and will most likely root for them in the playoffs. Still, I don't give them much of a chance of going deep in the postseason, unless they get some favorable matchups.

Also, just what exactly has Grossman ever done to inspire such confidence? Is it the 54.7% completion rate or the 3 TD passes versus 5 interceptions?

[bison95]

Hold on their bodoyle, if we kill Favre then we can't sign him next year after he's left those sorry azzed Packers. Think man , think. :smiley_wi


First off if the bears don't pound the pack by 30, they don't deserve to be in the playoffs. The pack d made Boler look like a fricken MVP candidate last week, Grossman should look like a 3 time MVP and future hall of famer.

Second, no way Favre ever wears another jersey. #4 green and gold will be his only NFL stop. Leaving would ruin his rep in Wisconsin. Look at Reggie, he retired, they honored him, and then he played for the panthers. Most of the fans lost respect for him as a person, and I don't believe Brett would do that.

[ISUMatt]

6 PRO BOWLERS!!!!

You're probably right on that point and wouldn't it be nice if you were. But if he goes somewhere for a last year where he'd have a chance to win it all again, it would be very cool if he tried as a Bear.IMHO

Once the Bears were out of contention I've rooted for the Pack, at least since Favre has been there. He is the man, plays the game the way it should be.

[bodoyle]

I agree he will not wear anything other then that putrid green and gold. I respect him but hate him.

[Bub]

Oh, yea. North Division champs, first round bye. Who's your Daddy? Da Bears! xazzx

[*****]

...there is a reason why "AP" runs about 5 times a game only.There is a reason the coaches that didn't give him the ball got fired!

[bodoyle]

Ralph:

Adrian Peterson: 15 games, 68 rushes. 356 yards
Thomas Jones : 14 games, 302 attempts. 1,273 yards


There's a reason Peterson only carries the ball ~ 4 times a game and Jones carries it 21.5 times a game!!!!!

[Baldy]

Ralph:

Adrian Peterson: 15 games, 68 rushes. 356 yards
Thomas Jones : 14 games, 302 attempts. 1,273 yards

Adrian Peterson 5.2 ypc
Thomas Jones 4.2 ypc
:confused:



There's a reason Peterson only carries the ball ~ 4 times a game and Jones carries it 21.5 times a game!!!!!

Thomas Jones - $1.725 Million dollar salary
Adrian Peterson - $655,000 dollar salary

I can think of about 1.07 Million reasons why Jones gets more carries than AP.

[bodoyle]

$1.07 million is so much money in the NFL. xlolx :eyebrow: xidiotx

Thomas Jones: 6'0" 222lbs
Adrian Peterson: 5'10" 210lbs

AP can't take the beating of carrying the ball 22 times a game. He started one game (25 and 139), and the next game he was 3rd string (4 for 8, with a long of 6) and Bensen ran for more yards with more attempts.

And man if you go by ypc, then I want Justin Fargas from Oakland, he averages 7.5 ypc with a whopping 4 total attempts. xidiotx

[Baldy]

$1.07 million is so much money in the NFL. xlolx :eyebrow: xidiotx

Sorry, I didn't realize you didn't know. The NFL is a business.
The Bears have twice the money invested in Jones than they do AP, so Jones is gonna play, no doubt.


Thomas Jones: 6'0" 222lbs
Adrian Peterson: 5'10" 210lbs
AP can't take the beating of carrying the ball 22 times a game.

Willie Parker 5'10" 209lbs
Warrick Dunn 5'8" 180lbs
Edgerrin James 6'0' 214lbs
Curtis Martin 5'11" 210lbs
Cadillac Williams 5'11" 217lbs

AP seems to be right about the average with those other starters.
Your point?
You better let the coaches of the teams of those starters listed above know that their RB's are too small. :rolleyes: xidiotx


He started one game (25 and 139), and the next game he was 3rd string (4 for 8, with a long of 6) and Bensen ran for more yards with more attempts.

Correcting you is getting old, but Benson hasn't played since week 10, the same week AP ran for 120 yards on 24 attempts (not 139 on 25).


And man if you go by ypc, then I want Justin Fargas from Oakland, he averages 7.5 ypc with a whopping 4 total attempts. xidiotx

There is a big difference between 4 attempts and 68.

Try again... :rolleyes: :asswhip:

[bodoyle]

He can be built the same but he cant take the punishment the way the rest of them do. xidiotx :confused:

Benson tore ligaments I am aware, I am saying after his great game of 139 he was relegated to 3rd string RB. BECAUSE HE CAN'T TAKE THE PUNISHMENT ON A WEEKLY BASIS OF GETTING THE ROCK 25 TIMES A GAME LIKE JONES DOES.

[*****]

He can be built the same but he cant take the punishment the way the rest of them do...Do you have any reasoning behind this "can't take the punishment" stuff? Do you know the history of AP?

[bodoyle]

Baldy: If it is a fiscal issue, then why does Bettis make a $h!tload more hten Fast Willie Parker, and carry the ball 60% less then Parker?

He can't handle the wear and tear!!!!!

Ralph: Yes I think the stats I posted earlier yesterday reflect that. After he carried the ball 22 times for 139 yards for one game he carried the ball for 4 times and 8 yards as a 3rd stringer in the next game, and was a backup with 8 carries the game after that.

[Baldy]

Other than your "expert" opinion, what proof do you bring to the table to make such a stupid claim? :cool:

[Baldy]

Baldy: If it is a fiscal issue, then why does Bettis make a $h!tload more hten Fast Willie Parker, and carry the ball 60% less then Parker?

Because Bettis is at the very end of his career. Fact is he took one hell of a pay cut just to sign a one year contract to play this season.

Keep trying....

:confused:

Jeez :rolleyes:

For the second time....AP didn't run for 139 this season. He ran for 120 on 24 attempts against San Fran. the same game Benson went down for the season with an injury, and AP didn't even start that game.
The very next game he was #2 on the depth chart and ran 4 times for 37 yards. Benson didn't play because we went down the previous game.

If you are going to try to debate a subject, you need to at least get the facts right. xidiotx

[bodoyle]

Baldy you can not be this dumb....

The Bus is still making more $ then Parker, and carrying less. That goes against your theory of more money more PT.


Here is the AP 120 game: http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/live/NFL_20051113_SF@CHI
Week after that 37 yards on 4 carries, week after that 27 on 5 carries, week after 48 on 11, 3 on 1, 6 on 3, 30 on 8. Notice a trend? Down down down.

[bodoyle]

2 people you mentioned of AP's size

Edgerrin James: 88 yards on 23 carries, following week 128 on 27, 108 on 27, 90 on 21. He can take the beating. 23, 27, 27, 21 carries. Pretty consistent as opposed to AP's 4,5,11,1,3,and 8

Curtis Martin: 57 yards on 20 carries, 72 on 31, 67 on 18, 67 on 18, 148 on 18

[Baldy]

Baldy you can not be this stupid....

I'm not, but you seem to enjoy looking like a complete dumbass in front of God and everyone. :lmao:
I will try to explain again below.

Chicago Baltimore: http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/live/NFL_20051023_BAL@CHI
Read the boxscore. AP DID NOT RUN FOR 139 AGAINST BALTIMORE AS YOU HAVE CLAIMED ALL THREAD LONG, THOMAS JONES DID!!!!!!! :bang:


And the Bus is still making more $ then Parker, and carrying less. That goes against your theory of more money more PT.

As stated earlier, Bettis took a large pay cut to be Parkers backup.
That is how it was designed, and that's how the rules work in the NFL. In case you didn't know (big suprise) there is a league minimum salary for players with X number of years in the NFL. Bettis has 10+ years in the league, the minimum salary for a 10 year vet is $765K. Parker has 2 years experience and the minimum for a 2 year vet is $380K.

Time to put the shovel down... :asswhip:

I notice the trend. After only getting one carry three weeks ago, his carries and yards have increased the last two weeks. Apparently you don't notice though. :(

Martin is 32 and has been in the league for 11 years with 14,000+ rushing yards.
My God what is your point? :confused:

[bodoyle]

you are on the one who said they are the same size. i pointed out that he (martin and james) can take the beating that AP can not take. open your eyes

[*****]

bodoyle,
This "wear and tear" theory of yours is what I'm wondering about. How have you extrapolated not getting carries into "can't take the wear and tear"????

You seem to be saying that:
getting carries=can take the wear and tear
not getting carries=can't take the wear and tear

I'm saying that the two are not necessarily related to wear and tear. Now if AP was getting injured (like TJ and Benson) then I might see your point but he's not.

Please explain.

Yes, please. :nod:

What inside info do you have to make such a wild ass accusation?

[bodoyle]

Accusation? If he carried for 120 in one game, why else would he get only 6 carries or so the next week? If you want to say that he isn't good enough, that's fine with me, I stated months ago that he is ridiculously overrated, and will be a lifetime backup. Let him stick to cleaning up after others and playing on the Special Teams unit where he is servicable every week.

Ralph: You and I can carry the ball as many times as AP does and not get injured. xlolx

[*****]

... he is ridiculously overrated...This is when bodoyle admits that the number one runner in D-I history is worthy of a chance, does not have a toughness problem and should be starting in the NFL...

[bodoyle]

and this will happen when you stop living in the past.

http://mariah.stonemarche.org/favlinks/pigs_fly.jpg

He was good in college, and is clearly overmatched in the NFL. And if he wasn't overmatched why did the Bears use a 1st round pick (#4 overall) on a RB? xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx

[*****]

...if he wasn't overmatched why did the Bears use a 1st round pick (#4 overall) on a RB?Because the coaches all got fired???

[bodoyle]

what coaches got fired? lovey has been there 3 years and the d and o coords have been there 2.

:deadhorse

can we just delete this pointless thread?

[*****]

...can we just delete this pointless thread?just the unproven wear and tear aspect???

[Baldy]

can we just delete this pointless thread?

I can certainly understand why you would want it deleted. xlolx

[bodoyle]

YEa it started out talking about My Bears and now somehow we morphed it into the size of edgerrin james and the bus's contract. :p

You and Ralph should be happy though, AP should see a lot of PT this week since the Bears have nothing to play for this week. AP might even do well against the hapless Minn. run defense.

Yes, I hope AP has a big game and the Bears win. I hope AP can last more than a couple carries because he can't take much wear and tear I've heard... :p

[bodoyle]

damn skippy he cant ralph.

ill put my neck on the line and say he tops out with 14 carries, and 50 yards 0 td's

[eagleskins]

This guy is a joke. AP can't take wear and tear. Can you name one other running back in the history of football to have 48 straight games over 100 yards?

[*****]

(http://i-aa.org/stats/fanzone/TheRun.wmv) xlolx xlolx :p

[Bub]

aw, ****. all I want to do is talk smack about my Bears and you guys want to talk stats. stats mean whatever you want them to mean. I'll still throw some mud in this pissin match.

Size is only part of the equation of many carries a runner can handle. A much bigger issue is the way he runs and how many direct shots he takes. Walter Payton and Barry Sanders were not the biggest running backs in the NFL, but they were durable, in part because of the way they ran. Their styles insured most shots they took weren't direct. Someone like the Bus has to be a big fat ass because he takes every shot direct, there ain't no glancing blows there. If you're shifty enough, this hits don't add up as fast. All this is my own complete BS and I have absolutely no fricken stats to back up any of it.

And I have no idea how AP runs and therefore no idea how this theory impacts his durability.

but, the Bears still rock and the Vikqueens still SUCK! xazzx

[*****]

and Drake still beat the '85 UNI Panqueers... xlolx

[bodoyle]

Look at his competition!!!! He was good in 1aa, he has been and still is significantly overmatched in the NFL (which I already stated before) that is why he will be a lifetime backup and Spec Teamer. You put him on a 1a team and he is lucky to get 10 straight. They are faster, bigger, and stronger.

I dont know anyone who had 48 straight games. I know AP had 36 straight games with 100 yards or more, Archie Griffin has the 1A record of 33 consecutive games rushing for 100 yards or more between 1972-1975 for OSU.
http://www.ncaa.org/library/records/football_records_book/2005/2005_d1_football_records.pdf

Bub: I dont think our Bears will win this week (not just because of who our RB will be either) but we are going to rest everyone. Kreutz is going to rest, Moose, Thomas Jones, Mike Brown, Urlacher etc

[*****]

... You put him on a 1a team and he is lucky to get 10 straight. They are faster, bigger, and stronger...So would everyone around AP if he had played I-A... no one else did what he did... he did it against I-A too... he did it in the NFL too... what is your problem?

Workhorse with well-developed muscles, cut upper-body frame, tight waist and thick legs … Anticipates the gaps in the defense well, keeping his balance as he slips through the line to break tackles … Strong inside runner with the leg drive and stiff-arm techniques to punish defenders … Adequate receiver, working well on screens … Downhill runner who has good short-area acceleration … Has the lower-body strength to compensate for a lack of wiggle through the holes … Uses his strong upper frame and arm power to protect the ball … Runs with good body lean … Very willing to square up with the bigger defenders when asked to block … Has the flexibility and power to face up to the opponent upfield … Shows the proper pad level to run through traffic and the vision to anticipate openings … Does a nice job of feeling his way through the pile, breaking tackles thanks to his superb balance. Rushed for a collegiate record 100 yards in 36 consecutive contests and shattering the NCAA career-scoring record with 524 points … His 40 total 100-yard performances (regular season) set another NCAA record (all divisions) … Including playoffs, he rushed for over 100 yards 54 times during his career … He also became college football's all-time leading rusher with 6,543 yards and set the Southern Conference career-record with 996 rushing attempts … Became the first player in conference history to rush for over 1,000 yards in four seasons … In 42 regular season games, he rushed for 85 touchdowns and averaged 155.8 yards per game … In 57 career contests, he carried 1,378 times for 9,145 yards (6.6 avg), 111 touchdowns and an average of 160.44 yards per game … Owns the top-four season rushing total marks in GSU annals.

Go AP with the Bears! It seems like you want the Bears to win but AP to fail! :nonono2:

Besides AP, how about those other former I-AA stars on the Bears? I guess they are wimpy lifetime backups too?

If he's "significantly overmatched", then what in the hell is he even doing in the NFL? How come some I-A RB hasn't taken his spot, because everyone knows they are bigger, faster, and stronger? :rolleyes:


I dont know anyone who had 48 straight games. I know AP had 36 straight games with 100 yards or more....
As usual, wrong again... :nono:
1998: 11 regular season games + 4 playoff games = 15
1999: 11 regular season games + 4 playoff games = 15
2000: 9 regular season games + 4 playoff games = 13
2001: 5 regular season games = 5

Grand Total:
15 + 15 + 13 +5 = 48 straight games with 100+ yards rushing.

Sorry, just the facts...

[bodoyle]

Baldy: thats why the Bears drafted a RB with the #4 pick overall right?

and playoff recoprds are seperate from the regular season, did you not go to the link where it clearly states that?

Even Ralph blew up your #'s, and he is on your side! :nod: :doh:

The Bears have also drafted winners like Rashaan Salaam, Curtis Enis, and Cade McNown in the first round too. Your point?

So? Playoff records were seperate from regular season records, but that doesn't take away from the absolute 100% undeniable FACT that AP ran for 100 yards in 48 straight games.

WHAT DOES THE RECORD BOOK STATE? :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:

:doh: I expect that you will be calling the NC2A vehemently detesting that the record be changed?

Oh and man was I off today, AP 8 carries 35 yards ( I had 14 and 50). He was 3rd string. Bensen had 1 more carry and the same yardage. And Peterson had a 23 yard run included. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[Baldy]

Nothing new, you've been off this entire thread. :lmao:
Here's another example....AP was 2nd string today not 3rd, sorry.
Don't forget AP's 3 receptions for 30 yards compared to Benson's 1 for 3 and Jones' 0 for 0.

You claim to be a Bears fan, but is a hater want one of the players to fail. :confused:
What do you do when AP's in the game? Pray for a punt or a fumble or a 3 & out?. Do you root for the other team when AP is lined up in the backfield?

[bodoyle]

There is a difference between hating a player and knowing that he doesnt belong. To quote Lovie Smith in tonights news "As long as I am a coach there is a spot on the special teams for Adrian Peterson." :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:


Ok then he was second string and outperformed a 3rd stringer who was coming back from a busted knee. AP had one good run, and the rest he barely got past the line of scrimmage.

He doesn't belong, but he leads the Bears RB's in yards per carry for the season. :lmao:

Watching you revel in your ignorance is rather amusing. xlolx

Let's all watch you avoid this question for the third time:
Are you trying to deny the fact that AP ran for 100 yards in 48 consecutive games?

[bodoyle]

:deadhorse When I look on ncaasports.com and I do not see that number anywhere, yes I am.

And he is still not getting the start unless the starting RB is injured, and so is the top pick from the draft. :bang: :bang: :deadhorse

Week Two: A I-AA Fantasy (http://www.sportsnetwork.com/default.asp?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfoot2/misc/moss_archive/3rdandlong_090402.htm)
The NCAA announced a controversial change in their football statistics policy last week, when it was decided that postseason statistics will be included as a part of a team's regular season totals. The move is long overdue, but the subsequent decision not to enforce the policy retroactively means that some of I-AA's best all-time players get the shaft. The best example of this is Georgia Southern fullback Adrian Peterson, who compiled 2,620 yards and 30 touchdowns during his 15-game playoff career. If the policy was enforced retroactively, Peterson's 9,161 yards and 114 touchdowns would be easy NCAA all-divisions records, and his string of 48 consecutive 100-yard rushing games would likely be as untouchable as Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak.

I-AA turns corner on long, weird 2001 (http://www.sportsnetwork.com/default.asp?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfoot2/misc/moss_archive/3rdandlong_101701.htm)

[i]His team might have lost the game, but Appalachian State defensive tackle Ryan Watson backed up the talk. Watson and the Mountaineers held Georgia Southern fullback Adrian Peterson to 71 yards on 19 carries, the first time in the senior's 49-game collegiate career that he had been held under 100 yards.

AP's amazing 48-game run was never about artificiality. Congratulations to Peterson for the incredible feat, and congratulations to GSU for the way it was allowed to come to an end.

Georgia Southern's Peterson sets 100-yard record (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/college/news/2001/10/06/peterson_record_ap/)

STATESBORO, Ga. (AP) -- Adrian Peterson set the NCAA all-division record for consecutive regular-season games with more than 100 yards rushing, finishing with 105 in Georgia Southern's 50-14 victory over Western Carolina in NCAA Division I-AA action Saturday.

R.J. Bowers of Grove City College previously held the record of 35 games, which he set from 1998-2000.

Peterson scored two touchdowns as the Eagles (5-0, 3-0 Southern Conference) gained 409 yards on the ground. Quarterback J.R. Revere ran for a career-high 194 yards and a touchdown.

Peterson has run more than 100 yards in 48 straight games overall, including playoff games.


And he is still not getting the start unless the starting RB is injured, and so is the top pick from the draft. :bang: :bang: :deadhorse
What the **** are you talking about. The more you "talk", the less sense you make. :confused: :rotateh:

[bodoyle]

If the policy was enforced retroactively

If Ifs and Buts were candy and nuts we all would have had a merry Christmas, but they are not. Deal with it!!

So it is a fair assumption that you feel that baseball should change all the previous records in baseball when they used to have 5 balls be equivalent to a walk right? And they will redo the record books for when a strike was only considered a strike if the batter swung at the ball too right? :doh: xidiotx

You're taking stupid to an entirely different level.

What part of:

Why? Those were the rules back then.
do you not understand?

Again, I don't care if the NCAA changes records or not. I know, everyone on this forum (except for you) knows, and even the NCAA knows AP ran for 100 yards in 48 consecutive games. They didn't include playoff games in statistics back then, cool...whatever...who cares. It still doesn't take away the 100% absolute undeniable indisputable fact that Adrian Peterson ran for 100 yards or more in 48 consecutive games, AND no amount of hate you can muster will take away that FACT either.

Keep trying tho because I'm sure everyone else on this forum is having one hell of a laugh at your expense. xazzx
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[bodoyle]

Uh oh people are laughing at me? In a forum? On the internet? Let me pretend to care.

Gimme a call when the NCAA record book reflects what you say.

Better yet, give me a call when you can prove AP didn't run for 100 yards or more in 48 consecutive games.

[bodoyle]

Would you like me to send you the link again, and copy and paste again straight from the NCAA record book or can you not read?

Until you can show it to me in the OFFICIAL record book, you might as well shut your mouth because I'm right. I have the official record book with the proof that I am right. Next...................

:bang: Do you need a translator? :bang:

Who besides you said anything about official NCAA records. I could care less about official NCAA records. NCAA record or not...like it or not, Adrian Peterson rushed for 100 or more yards in 48 consecutive games.

NEWSFLASH:
Einstein, just because it's not in the NCAA "official record" doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Good luck trying to prove otherwise. I'll be waiting over here with the *CRICKETS*.

you can go by your record book, I'll stick to the NCAA. Call me crazy but I think the NCAA might out weigh you.

[CoastalFan2005]

So let's get the thread back on track...

I'm curious to hear opinions on how the Bears are going to do in the postseason. I grabbed the Bears' schedule from their website (http://www.chicagobears.com/news/schedule.jsp):

September 11 @ Redskins L 7 - 9
September 18 vs. Lions W 38 - 6
September 25 vs. Bengals L 7 - 24
October 9 @ Browns L 10 - 20
October 16 vs. Vikings W 28 - 3
October 23 vs. Ravens W 10 - 6
October 30 @ Lions W 19 - 13
November 6 @ Saints W 20 - 17
November 13 vs. 49ers W 17 - 9
November 20 vs. Panthers W 13 - 3
November 27 @ Bucs W 13 - 10
December 4 vs. Packers W 19 - 7
December 11 @ Steelers L 9 - 21
December 18 vs. Falcons W 16 - 3
December 25 @ Packers W 24 - 17
January 1 @ Vikings L 10 - 34

To me, their regular season schedule doesn't look too impressive. Granted, they were 5-1 in the NFC North (and the 1 was where they rested everyone). They're 6-4 in non-division play, including losses to the Redskins and BROWNS.

I think the Bears will make some noise in the postseason, but I don't think they have a chance to get to the Super Bowl. I say they lose in the Divisional round, after their first-round BYE.

[ISUMatt]

I think the Bears will fall to Seattle in the NFC Championship Game

[ISUMatt]

And Im calling it now Denver beats Indy in the AFC Championship for a Denver vs Seattle SuperBowl XL

[Bub]

Da Bears in the Super Bowl. Seattle is set for their usual post season swoon and the Bears with Grossman are not the same team they were with Orton.

[bodoyle]

From sports radio in Chicago ESPN 1000

Host: So it looks like you have been trying to get Adrian Peterson more and more reps lately. Are you looking for him to challenge Thomas Jones next year?

Tim Spencer Bears RB Coach: No. He was doing a good job recently, but once Cedric got healed enough to hit the field, he clearly put himself infront of Adrian for now. Adrian will remain on the special teams, and will most likely be moved to 3rd string behind Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson.

waa waa waa waa :bawling: :bawling:

[Baldy]

WOW!!!

Big shocker there........NOT!

Benson is getting paid $17,000,000, of course he's gonna get PT ahead of a guy making $650K a year. As I said before, the NFL is a business and the Bears have a whole hell of a lot more money invested in Benson than AP. IF Benson isn't 1st string next season, I'll eat my hat.

bo...you are the master of the obvious. xlolx

[TypicalTribe]

Einstein, just because it's not in the NCAA "official record" doesn't mean it didn't happen.


Just like the list of I-A National Champions.

[bodoyle]

Baldy, then why was CB behind AP when they were both helathy and CB was not holding out anymore? xidiotx

[bodoyle]

And prepare to chomp down buddy, he will still be behind Thomas Jones, and "A friend" works for the Bears, and don't be surprised when AP gets traded in the off season as a backup to Larry Johnson in KC.

[Rabbit3467]

Bears are an overrated team that played in a very weak NFC north, and weak NFC overall.

Heres my prediction, bears lose to tampa bay and go home crying again. Maybe when they get some O than can win in the playoffs.

:asswhip: :asswhip: :asswhip:

GO vikes in 2006

[Bub]

Silly wabbit! :)

Da Bears will whoop up on Chucky and the boys, big time. Urlacher and Briggs will be in Simms jock the whole game.

And I keep tellin ya, with Rexie boy at QB my Bears got some O.

I'm just saying!

Oh yea the Vikqueens still suck! xazzx

[bodoyle]

Bub, we need some more offense though. Rex is better then Orton, without a doubt, but we need more impact WR's to take the pressure off Moose.

[Bub]

I think they may have that guy, in the thin receiver returning punts, whose name completely escapes me.

Remember with that D we don't have to have the best O, just good enough. Of course on any given day!(where have I head this?)

[Baldy]

Baldy, then why was CB behind AP when they were both helathy and CB was not holding out anymore? xidiotx

Then again, maybe you can't even figure out the obvious afterall.

He was behind AP because he held out...lack of conditioning, lack of practice...no knowledge about the offense...his pass protection was and still is absolutely horrible, etc.

Don't give up, Forrest......

[bodoyle]

Bub, I agree we don't need an offense like Indy, but the better the O, the less stress there is put on the defense.

Are you talking about Bernard Berriam?

Baldy : the end of my question when they were both helathy and CB was not holding out anymore? Your response He was behind AP because he held out lack of conditioning, lack of practice you really need to learn to read better.

Yup you got me he was sitting a looooooooong time, learning the playbook, and getting in shape etc. He played the first 2 weeks and AP didn't. Starting in the 4th week of the season AP played more when they were both "in shape" xlolx xidiotx :asswhip:

http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/live/NFL_20050911_CHI@WAS

Duh duh duh don't wuh wuh wuh worry I'll ru ru ru run as well as AP talked. Congrats to him for clearing that hurdle though. :hurray: and I know you think I'm being sarcastic, but if I am Forest Gump as you imply, then it isn't making fun, it's simply calling out an equal right?

[bodoyle]

"Congrats to him for clearing that hurdle though. and I know you think I'm being sarcastic"

Does someone have to chew your food for ya? I can't remember ever seeing a so-called football fan so ignorant about the game. xidiotx

Healthy or not, Benson's been behind the 8 ball all season because of his holdout. Conditioning...practice time...pass protection...learning the offense, etc. etc. etc. :rolleyes:

Calling out an equal? AP and you? Not on your best day and his worst. xidiotx

[bodoyle]

Wow. I talk about his previous speech impediment and you talk about something else. Way to avoid the subject.Man I wish that CB knew if he didn't wait for more money that his knee wouldn't have been blown out. Damn. Such a shame.

[Baldy]

That's sick and pathetically uncalled for. Do you also trip cripples? :nono: :nonono2: :nono:

Thats the guy!

[bodoyle]

Yea, anyone is better then what's his face (Bobby Wade)?

[bodoyle]

Hey Bub: The Chicago Bears trade their first round pick, Cedric Bensen (yup, keep AP as a backup) and Rex Grossman to the Houston Texans for the #2 pick in the draft.

With the 2nd pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select Vince Young; Quarterback - University of Texas. :hurray:

[Bub]

Ya know Young is a great college QB and he won the Rose Bowl by himself, BUT I don't think he's going to be all that in the NFL. I see a slower, less capable of passing Micheal Vick. He will put up some rushing numbers, but I don't see him leading a team to the promised land. Linehart is more of an NFL QB IMHO. :twocents:

[bodoyle]

Love Smith NFL Coach of the Year (24.5 votes) Dungy 2nd (20.5)

[AppGuy04]

So Bub, Carolina comes back to town after we thoroughly dominated them 13-3 with 8 sacks....thoughts?

8 sacks won't happen this time

I predict a Carolina win, close, but a win nonetheless

[Bub]

Our defense has only gotten better. Lord knows the offense has more diversity and potential, the Panthers defense can't just sit on the run.

My take, Bears 20, Panthers 3.

If Ditka was the coach, Bears 125, Panthers 3. :)

[bodoyle]

But what if the Panthers had a player with the last name of Ditka?

And what if there is a blizzard named Ditka?

I say Bears 24 carolina 10 I got seats in the North Endzone. Wanna go? Just one ticket though, not sure if I can make it. Might be in North Carolina.

Oh App, when will we agree on something? :) I hate to say that you will be wrong, but you will be wrong again. :smiley_wi

Going to see Da Bears in the playoffs, at Soldier Field, in January-Priceless!

Taking my son back to college for the second semester on gameday-A duty and privilege not to be missed!

(In no small part due to the fact that after your 18 yr old has been at home for a month after his first semester of freedom, not only does he need to go back, his mother needs for him to go back!) Parents of college students will know of what I speak.

If Da Bears had a player named Ditka score would be Bears 350, Panthers 0.

[bodoyle]

Bub what if the Panthers had a player named Ditka?

I am sure your child wants out as well. When I came home for the first time it was culture shock. Stairs where I live??? etc. Dishes that you don't throw out? WoW my parents were a lot richer then I thought they were. I also dropped f-bombs like no tomorrow forgetting where i was.

http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:_CiwqZiJsTAJ:http://www.endzone.it/images/uploads/articoli/Ditka,Mike12.jpg

[Bub]

What if Da Bears are coached by Ditka, Ditka also plays for Da Bears and for the Panthers.

Da Bears win by 2 when Ditka tackles himself as a Panther for a safety! Now pass the Old Style and the Polish!

[bodoyle]

It's going to be really warm that day though. 37-41 for a high. :nonono2:

And a Polish w/o onions though. Or a nice brat, or dog with celery salt and cucumbers!!! :hurray:

You guys love Chicago's defense, but look at the numbers, Carolina is just as good

Yards Allowed
CHI- 281.8
CAR- 282.6

Pass Yards Allowed
CHI- 179.5
CAR- 191.1

Rush Yards Allowed
CHI- 102.3
CAR- 91.6

Points Allowed
CHI- 13
CAR- 16

That looks pretty damn even to me boys

Now lets look at the offense

Points scored
CHI- 16.3
CAR- 24.4

Total Yards
CHI- 256.3
CAR- 309.4

Passing Yards
CHI- 125.1
CAR- 204.4

Rushing Yards
CHI- 131.2
CAR- 104.9

Those numbers look a little more one-sided

So don't act like you have a better team just because you got a few more Pro Bowlers. Carolina's defense is just as good, and their offense is definitely alot better. Carolina wins.

[Bub]

We got a better team cause we're Da Bears and you ain't! xazzx

[bodoyle]

Da*n Bodoyle, you were doing so good till now. A white suk fan, oh geez. :rolleyes:

Although I do hear the St Paddy's parade on the south side puts the north side to shame.

All I want is to be the guy wearing the kilt, the irish sweater and the bear helmet leading the pipers to start off the St Paddy's Day parade in Chicago. Is that asking to fricking much!!!! :)

[bodoyle]

Under normal circumstances, I would say that is a legit desire, but since you are on the north side, that is completely impossible for that to ever happen.

Feel free to change sides and cheer for a winner, with fans who have knowledge of the sport. xlolx I could mail you my ticket stubs from the playoff games I went to, and if you would like, I could also mail you copies of all the ticket stubs from the last few seasons games that I've attended (prolly over 100). :smiley_wi :nod:

On the contrary, there was plenty left to be said and Carolina said it today. At this point you might as well say, "We outscored you guys 34-32 this season....enough said."

It's going to be tough to post those words though, at least until Steve Smith decides he's tired of owning the entire city of Chicago and decides to give you all your computers back.

Until that happens, thanks, Chicago, for answering the question "whatever happened to all that $***ty turf from the 2004 I-AA championship game?" I hope Chattanooga cut you a good deal on it.

He's probably still sitting at Soldier Field, hoping that he'll wake up and the game was just a dream. LoL

[bodoyle]

Sorry guys, I was in NC with an old friend. Didn't really go on the 'puter at all since Thursday.

Good game. Bears D was good, minus the DB/CB/FS/SS. They were banged up but no excuses here.

GOOOOOOOOOOOO STEELERS!

[TypicalTribe]

The Bears are a one-dimensional team and they can only win one type of game. If they fall behind in the playoffs, they will be done.

What's the difference between this Bears team and the one that went 12-4 a few years ago before losing in the 1st round of the playoffs?

Tough way to end a great season, but it really wasn't too hard to see this one coming. Hopefully, Rex can stay healthy for a full season and the Bears can be a complete team next year.

[bodoyle]

Tribe, yea and then we can see that he is over-rated. Better then Orton, but over-rated nonetheless.

I'm so glad we drafted Benson over M. Williams from USC. We surely needed a 3rd RB over a #2 WR. :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :nonono2: :nonono2: :nonono2: :nonono2: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono:
