That would be an interesting girls name.

Congrats! At least you won't lose any sleep during the season.

We need to generate some turnovers.

This loss is not on Lovie. The Bears made some nice adjustments and had a winnable game with 5 turnovers. However, you have to believe he is on the hot-seat if we have a sub .500 season.

Pittsburgh too is without their defensive leader, and he may be more important to them than Urlacher is to us, and that is saying a lot. They had absolutely no running game (36 rushing yards) vs TEN and their O-Line looked almost as bad as ours. Big Ben was sacked 4 times and threw 2 picks. He also had a couple of "near" picks but got lucky. I think this will be another close game, and definitely winnable. The early line has the Steelers favored by 3. One concern is that they have had a couple extra days to rest, recover, and prepare.

Also, a cast can help a fracture so the limb doesn't bend, but in a dislocation, it is at the joint, so normally you can't put pressure on it. So he literally would not be able to push off anything with that arm or his ulna or radius might pop out of his skin.

Surprisingly only one of Cutler's INTs resulted in pts for the Packers.

Also, just think of the situation. You are playing in GB on national tv in the first game of the season in the biggest rivalry in the NFL, vs a new 3-4 defense with little tape to study. You also have a young group of receivers, a new O-Line, with the added pressure of the trade. Then add that we had no running game (Forte 2.2 yds per carry) and you are playing against some of the best corners in the game. Then your coaches burn all your timeouts over silly plays and your long snapper is giving the ball to your opponent. Then to put icing on the cake, your defensive leader is out and it is all on you. Looking at that, it was amazing he did what he did given all that pressure. That was 2 weeks after dealing with the preseason game in Denver too.

There are some dislocations that are actually worse than breaks. A bunch of time in a cast, then a few weeks recovery.

I thought he looked great. He had a nice one on one move against Woodson that was sweet. I am just wondering if it would be better if he just stopped doing returns altogether.

I wonder if Briggs stays at MLB and Urlacher moves to the outside when he comes back?

Looking at some of those replays, Orton probably has 2 picks and about 100 yards passing.

I just think that is something you never do on your own half of the field (or when you are winning for that matter).

I wouldn't be surprised if we did.

The end of the Urlacher era is coming quicker than I thought.

Of all the players we lose on D.

I just can't believe we played that bad and it took a 50 yard TD to beat us.

Wow, that is ridiculous. You have to know the situation. Getting 5 yards there does nothing. Really disappointing. That would've been a huge win.

Before that 51 yard TD, the Defense had only allowed 175 yards against GB, which was great. 4 sacks, a Safety, and GB was only 4-14 on 3rd Downs. With all those turnovers, the Bears still controlled the clock. However, you can't expect to win when you have that many turnovers.

There is no way a long snapper has that much authority to do that. Like the announcers said, it would only be a 5 yard penalty. It just made no sense.

That was just an ugly game overall. The short snap on 4th and 11 on your own 30? Are you serious? That was the game changing play right there. Also, it didn't help to have Urlacher out on that last drive.

Yeah, that was a horrible defensive call. They were not in field goal range, so a first down there was not as big of a deal compared to a long play like the one they gave up.

We shouldn't have won the way we played, but we almost stole one.

Wow, nice defensive series without Urlacher.

THERE WE GO!
