You are making it seem like this is dink and dunk. Orton completed 73% of his passes and threw 48 times and a bunch were beyond 10 yards. He averaged more yards per attempt than Brady, and 5 receivers had 4 or more receptions. This wasn't just the defense either. Denver had the ball for 36 mins and over 400 yards. Orton would've been much better for us this year (but I still do the trade every time).

Yeah, that is crazy. Also, I remember Mohamed Massaquoi during the draft and that some were thinking we would take him in the 2nd.

5 seems high for him right now because I thought he was the 10th Best QB on their list.

I remember the high five at midfield.

NFC 1. Saints 2. Giants 3. Bears 4. 49ers 5. Vikings 6. Eagles AFC 1. Colts 2. Patriots 3. Ravens 4. Chargers 5. Broncos 6. Steelers MVP: Brees OROY: Sanchez DPOY: Allen I think Minnesota could easily be 5-3 at their Bye Week and that last game at Soldier Field will probably decide the Division.

Mine is all NFC North teams, then all NFC teams, then all AFC teams.

Odds for making the playoffs: 4-0 84% 3-1 64% 2-2 35%

I actually liked how GB stopped AP, especially in the 2nd half. Otherwise, I thought GB played like crap, and even like that, they only lost by 7.

Detroit had one of the better coverage units before the game.

I am loving me some Jay Cutler. 3 consecutive games with a 100+ QB Rating, and 7 TDs and 1 INT in his last 3 games.

I don't want to see Minny go to 4-0. Very few teams miss the playoffs after starting 4-0.

I was kidding (blue = Detroit colors).

Wear blue so I can see you.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_...?urn=nfl,193266 I think it is a little too early for a comparison like this. Especially considering that Forte's rookie year was better than any year by either of the two. I also believe that he is playing injured, our O-Line has been bad in support of the run, teams have stacked the box, and we've played 2x 3-4 defenses.

I would love for a fast start. We have yet to score in the 1st quarter and have been outscored 17-0 so far. Lets also have some nice sustained drives. I am sick of the quick 3 and out to start the game or half. Bears 31-17.

It seems like teams are still forcing the Bears to pass and stacking extra guys in the box. We have also been very predictable on our runs.

I was just posting anything related to the Bears-Lions game, and an injury to their starting RB seemed to be post-worthy. I was hoping for anyone to be out. I think the Bears will win the game pretty easily. I just want to see a big early lead so we can get the ground game going. I really like what the Cowboys did last night. They had a sort of Play-action, delayed draw, trap that was really successful.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/...s-week-to-week/ This would be a nice break for the Bears.

Nice work. Other Projections: Olsen: 48-496, 6 TDs Forte: 800 Rushing Yards, 0 TDs, Rec - 59-389, 0 TDs Here is a fun one, take only Cutler's last two games and project that for a full season (if you consider GB as : 3864 Yards, 40 TDs, 8 INTs, 7.4 YA, 73.8% Comp Pct.

I am very happy with a 2-1 record after those 3 games. We could've easily been 0-3 or 3-0. However, we are only 1 play from being 3-0, so I will gladly take a 2-1 record at this point. Next week is a big game, we can't play down to the Lions. 3-1 into the Bye is a must.

Even more than the QB Rating, I am loving the Completion Pct. 71% and 78% the last two games. Also, just think of how much higher it would be without drops. Even after that brutal first game, he has a Comp Pct almost 10 pts higher than Orton who has a better QB Rating. We would probably be 0-3 with Orton at the helm with the lack of running game.

Not really. We won the Time of Possession battle, had the same amount of turnovers, and didn't allow a Red Zone TD. The game could have went either way, but a win is a win. I am just sick of the Cover 2.

In the NFL, a win is a win. Some good, some bad, some ugly, but we won in Seattle for the first time since 1976. Cutler with a 126.4 QB Rating.

We don't need to stop them until they are in FG range.
