DABEARSDABOMB

We had a run d on and the Packers made a great call. Vasher was the dumbass who tried to play bump coverage and really did nothing except get burned horribly. And the only reason Vash was in that situation is due to the Bears DB's being hurt (Bowman/Tillman).

The guys the best long-snapper in the league. He's a very smart guy who made a mistake trying to be smart. I was freakin livid at the time, but the guy is the best in the biz and this is literally the first mistake he's ever made in his career. You guys that are blaming coaching, etc, give me a break.

Get Brooks in immediately, move Briggs to the MLB spot. That is what I expect to see and I think we can survive cause Briggs is legit.

You guys are being ridiculous. See my post in the other thread and I've been a Lovie basher. I realize this game was a huge dissapointment and we should have won it, but I can't put the blame on Lovie. In fact, I walk away from this game pretty happy because the defense played great against one of the best offenses in the league. The offense needs worked but I still felt it looked pretty good, despite all the picks. A lot of what happened is fixable and I expected growing pains given Cutler's inexperience in the offense and his inexperience with our WR's (who are also inexperienced). I wouldn't be shocked to see a Marvin Harrison brought in. Hell, I can even look at Turner and say, good job, you calmed down Cutler and got shit together in the 2nd half. I saw a lot to like, but I wonder if the WR position will be okay. We knew if we were going to have enough weapons on O, it would be because of Clark/Olsen and they were both awful. Bennett grew, Knox had some good and bad, and Hester looks a lot better. I just think we need a veteran who Cutler can look to on 3rd downs.

I must say, Lovie called a gem of a defensive game. They had nice blitz packages and generated pressure without agressively blitzing. As a whole the defense played a phenomenal game and this is coming from the guy that has bashed the D heavily ever since we went to the Super Bowl. Offensively I expected growing pains and I think the preseason raised peoples offensive expectations. The reality is we have a young and inexperienced WR corps and what as of now is a terrible WR corps. We also have a QB learning new personell and a new system so growing pains should really be expected. The only thing I'd really hammer Lovie for is that Fake Punt if he had anything to do with it.

Did Cutler make some dumb-ass throws, absolutely. But did our WR's screw up, absolutely. Did our Oline screw Cutler, absolutely. Jay had pressure all game long and still made quite a few pretty good throws and gave our guys a chance. It wasn't a good game by Jay but even his bad game was good enough to win, imo, and he was absolutely screwed by our poor WR's, something I have constantly bitched and moaned about for a number of years and I'm constantly disgusted by the fact that the Bears have done jack shit to solve that WR problem. Knox made a bad play late, but he looks like a nice player. Bennett had an up-and-down game but given he made his first catch of his career in tonight's game I was actually pretty happy. Olsen and Clark were non-existent, in fact, Clark gave up on two routes, one which led to a pick, and the other would have been a TD.

The guy has the athleticism to be a freak on the field and that is something you have to like.

We can set-up a Yahoo pickem league. It won't be near as good or involved as Pix's but could be a way to at least keep the pick-em's alived.

I just know what my reaction is....booooinng....yep, thats something growing in my pants, bahahaa. Seriously, Jay Cutler is something to be really excited about. Not just for this year, but for the next 5-10 years. He's the type of QB that makes your team a perennial SuperBowl contender.

Cutler doesn't throw to Davis and he likes Ash and Riddeau so those two should make the team. Than you have Knox and Iglesias who you need to protect as Igl was a higher draft pick and Knox really opened up eyes at camp and is a potential return-man as well. That means Davis is the odd-man out.

Except that the Bears had numerous QB's that had struggled with the snap. Rex obviously had a bigger problem with it though.

Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend that game as I have a work conference that same week. They had to make it a Thursday game, booo.

Badass, that would be amazing!!!

If I can't find these, then I'm hoping to get tickets to the Steelers/Bears game at Soldier field.

Awesome, you my friend are the man.

Okay, so yesterday was my anniversary and my gift was a trip to wherever to see the Bears play. I was thinking that I would love to go to Lambeau to see the Bears play the Packers but would have to get tickets at face value (otherwise I'll just get tickets to a game at Soldier field). Does anyone have any clue on a good method of getting Packer tickets?

There might be some slowness today as we will be shifting over the one large database on the site and that tends to be a resource hog. Shouldn't be any outages though, just wanted to give you all an explanation for why things might be running a bit slow.

Except that Mike Brown is on another team. Oh and the server thus far is absolutely flying for me. Hopefully it stays this way

That took a lot longer than we expected but the outages should be done. Let us know if you run into any bugs as a result of our server switch. We are on a brand new server and in time will upgrade the forum software to the latest version as well. However, that upgrade literally takes about an hour and I'll do it late at night where as few as people as possible notice the outage. The site will probably be a little slower than usual as we are moving some heavy databases today onto the new server related to the other forum I run on the server (Soxtalk). Thanks for everyones patience and as I mentioned before we should have even more up-time now and more importantly more room to grow

Very cool to have a coach whose widely regarded as the best in the business at his respected position.

We've begun our server move. The move is taking us from our current dedicated server to a bigger one with double the ram and a bit larger processor. Today we upgraded the site to version 2.6 of Invision, which is the latest version workable on our current server, but we are upgrading to the newest database software on our new server set-up which will enable us to move up to Version 3.x which is the latest and greatest. It allows for faster indexing which will be very beneficial as the sites database continues to grow. There will be a 24hr or so outage though and I'll try to give as much of a heads up as I can. Basically put the site should fly more and we should have even less down-time. Just wanted to let you guys/gals know.

If Stallworth gets 30 days in prison for killing someone, how the hell is Burress going to do time for shooting himself in the foot.

I'll take Plax or Owens, pass on Marshall.

Beautiful
