I don't mind a good defensive game. This game blows. It's not like Chicago is shutting down the Colts. They're doing just enough against a beat up team, starting its third-string QB, on a short week.

Well, regardless of whether it was Henne, Pennington or Thigpen the results wouldn't be much different

There is something about Tony Sparano that gives me the creeps. He's got a Tony Clifton thing going on.

I am not convinced that the Bears are a great team, they are good but not great.

The bears defence played against all our backup lineman except Long, who is plaiying with a harness and he does need surgery eventually.

Not to mention our star receiver is also out after halftime and then it went downhill even more.

The dolphins got killed with injuries and that basically wrapped up our season. It just wasn't meant to be.

Sparano needs to fire henning he cannot call a game at all.

Don't overhype your defence, they played against almost all of Miamis backups that was basically our preseason offence on the field there.

I haven't seen so many injuries to one team over a two game span. It just makes me sick to my stomach.

Exactly a team with a 3rd string QB, no #1 receiver, and a backup offensive line. a right gaurd playing center. An injured Jake long.

This is a loss I can accept. It proves to me nothing.

I don't think I'm overhyping anything. They are a top 3 defence while playing teams like GB MIN and NYG. The offense isn't great but the defense is very much for real and dominating

Are you bragging about them shutting down Min?

I missed most of this game. What happened? Three carries each for Ronnie and Ricky? Was this a real game?

Unfortunately yes. That is honestly the worst football game I've ever had the misfortune of watching. I would've rather watched a CFL game than that garbage. That game made Jesus punch a kitten.

Is it me or have most of the primetime games this year been really boring and one-sided. I see all these OT and down to the wire games on Sunday afternoon but all the evening games for the most part have been hot garbage.

I look at the Bears record the exact same way as this article has. The bears are good and extremly lucky. Look how nice everything has fallen in place for them. Not to mention the article doesn't mention they beat a Green Bay team that self destructed with way too many penalties.

Yes another reason why Dan Henning our OC needs to be fired!

It seemed like right off the bat after the Fins took that big loss on the reverse to Hartline that they were not going to run the ball anymore. The other thing that just pisses me off is this alternating RB situation that they are going with. Ronnie gets a series then its Ricky's turn.

Meet the Carolina Panthers starting QB this Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.

A steallar 2-5 career passes for 12 yds, 1 TD, and 1 INT. In his 8th year.

Thought that I would post a link to some of the "leaked" but then apparently not real Nike jersey concepts. on PTI today Tony and the guest host figured that Nike did have something to do with the leak and just wanted feedback and were seeing how these were received. Anyway, this is the best link I found....not sure how legit these are obviously, but thought some might be interested in checking these jerseys out:

Yikes I thought the Flames Heritage classic jerseys looked like Ronald McDonad costumes and now this is what the Chiefs could be wearing. Damn do I hate sports right now, my favorite teams are more depressing than the economy.

Reggie Bush looks good to go and we have missed him badly. I still think we can win the division but those Falcons are a good team this year. Go Saints!
