I got one over the Xmas holidays too. I still have no idea who gave it to me. Shipped to my house with no card, no nothing. Hopefully it brings good luck!!!
Lets hope the injuries to Mundy / Conte are not significant. My presumption is they are going to be more careful with Conte and let him heal up. Curious to see what the word is on Mundy. I am okay with Vereen back there and getting the experience (although he might get burned) but it would be nice for one of our veterans to be there to help the cause, especially against an elite QB like Rodgers.
PS: Mundy looked like he was my speed when he was returning that TD, haha.
Offense needs to figure out a way to run the ball consistently. It will open up so many more things. Right now, we tend to be hit or miss because we drop back too much and thus things become a bit more predictable, especially against a D like the Jets that can generate pressure.
Good assessment. Three things stood out. We had a few cases of the drops last night, we made stupid penalties, and well, tied into that last one, our special teams continues to be a bunch of knuckleheads with the penalties.
He was rejuvenated leaving Chicago. He wouldn't have done that with us. He looked faster and more explosive then he has in years. Clearly him and Cutler didn't click and the fresh start gave him some more motivation. Also, its hard for a QB to like you when you consistently line up in the wrong spot and drop balls. It is unfortunate because at times, Hester looked like he could have been a pretty good wideout. Too bad that when Trestman asked him to play wideout a year ago he said no.
Yeah...I wouldn't quite jump to conclusions like that. Jets have one of the best D's in the league and it is a road game. I expect this to be a very difficult game.
Just a total bummer. Urlacher had the better peak in the recent Bears era but Tillman was my favorite Bear of the last 10+ years and one of my favorite Bears all time. He was both a stud on the football field and a person who did a lot of good off the football field. For his season and potentially career to end this way stinks but I want to thank him for all of the fantastic memories and the fact that he represented our franchise so proudly both on and off the field.
Thank you Peanut and Get Better!!!
I agree, I said they were ok and by ok we had like another 4 penalties and one net 20 or so yard punt, etc. My new definition of Joey D okay is being one of the 5 worst units in the league vs. the absolute worst. He is the worst.
We were consistently in positions to make plays and prevent big plays. We missed a few tackles that you'd like back and they got us on some openings in the zone but by and large we looked FAST. Never thought I'd say that and we also looked disciplined, outside of some foolish early penalties that extended some drives for them (speaking defensively).
It was amazing to see a rookie on our defense with instincts. He was really good. He had a weak PI called against him early in the game (or some form of penalty) but was very very impressive.
Briggs was a beast. Made up for last weeks game. You can tell he isn't as quick as he once was, but he was in all the right spots and made some nice plays. Heck of a win...one thing though...how does Joey D have a job. Our ST unit is absolutely deplorable.
I'll tell you one thing...if Briggs really was up out till the wee mornings getting drunk, Bears should cut him or suspend him. Need to send an absolute message. Let him get away with it, others will follow suit and it will be an utter disaster.
