Cool story. I'd prolly just stay away from game threads then if I were you.

Whatever fits your agenda, dude.

That's good then.. (I hope)

It's so hard to predict W/L in the future because of the injuries that will inevitably occur at different times. If everything stayed as is, you figure the Bears should win at least 9 or 10 games. If they get bit by the injury bug quite a bit during the year, less than 9, and with a little good fortune they could win over 10 games. The NFC is so tough. You don't want to be fighting for wildcard position knowing that one of SF or Seattle will almost certainly have one of those spots locked up, and same with New Orleans and Atlanta.

When you post during a game, you are always going to get those responses. You get excited during a great play, you vent out your frustrations during a bad one, and after the game is over you reflect on the totality of everything that just happened. What you are asking for is something that almost never happens in a game thread. It is made to be reactionary (if you posts during games). The annoyance I have comes from the individuals who scan through game threads after its over and look at things that happened in the middle of the 2nd quarter where they will draw conclusions from while ignoring everything else.

Shoulder injuries are tricky. You are lucky if you don't need surgery because that tends to be the case with most of them. Hopefully Martellus' will be fine next week. It'd be a huge loss to not have him on the field.

Only 10 teams in the league are 2-0 at this point. I'll certainly take it. I want to see how they play on the road now. Pittsburgh is a pretty difficult place to play in, so it will be a nice test early in the season for this offense. I think the offense is slowly but surely getting better. 323 yards of total offense last week vs the Bengals, 419 against the Vikings this week. Cutler is looking more and more comfortable in the pocket, but he still makes me nervous during the course of the game with his erratic decision making. I need to see the consistency first before I can feel good about their playoff chances. They'll only go as far as he takes them. I'm still concerned about the safeties and defensive line. Not sure what's going on with Peppers or Melton, but they better get it in gear before the defense starts to become a liability. Also, does anybody else feel like our tackling has all of a sudden gotten noticeably worse? I don't know if that's a Lovie/Rod Mareneli thing, but It feels like we aren't wrapping up as much as I'm used to seeing from a Bears defense.

I'm down, but It'll be pretty hard to trade Earl at this point given his injury history and lack of productivity. Wilson at least offers a different element to the passing game that Earl doesn't bring. He's a possession receiver with limited ability. Wilson, while not an elite level speed guy, is still fast enough to be a viable deep threat in the passing game. Funny how times have changed in recent years when Earl was widely regarded as the Bears best receiver, largely because he was the only one who could catch the ball consistently.

I think some people just need to learn how to deal with game threads and realize that it is an emotional roller coaster. Complaining about the complaining isn't doing anything, especially when conclusions are being drawn from posts made hours ago, while the game is in progress, particularly when something bad happens. This game was a tough watch if you were a Bears fan (they are notorious for that.) They outplayed the Vikings for the majority of the game, but allowed them to stay in it thanks to some silly turnovers and poor special teams execution early on defense. It was the type of game that if the Bears had lost, it would have felt like they beat themselves. Like last week, there's a lot you can be encouraged about, but there are also some legitimate complaints to be made, like, what the hell is wrong with the defensive line?

I thought the Bears really outplayed Minnesota for the majority of the game, mental errors not withstanding. It was their utter stupidity with ball security and poor special teams execution on the defensive end that nearly cost them. What'd the Vikings have, one offensive touchdown? Need to get that stuff cleaned up if you want to be able to win on the road.

Why do you need your team to be coddled constantly?

Nothing at all. Beautiful throw and pass. Btw, your insults suck.

CUTLER TO BENNETT MOTHER FUCKER!!

Huge catch by Marshall.

When are we suppose to get Melton and Peppers back?

Hold them to a FG or lose the game.

This has been a near complete disaster of a game to this point. Ball security fellas..

Hester doesn't look quite as fast as he used to, but he's had some big runs on kickoffs today.

3 big mistakes for Cutler in this game. 2 inexcusable interceptions and a lost fumble. Last week he was able to come back from a bad interception by taking over the 4th quarter. Still time left in the game, but the momentum has shifted big time.

The offense needs to take over. Get the momentum back.

That looked like an incompletion.

It's a game thread. Good and bad things happen through the course of the game. I just call it like it is. If you need your team to be cheerleaded all the time, I suggest you don't participate in game threads. I hate needy fans.

3 straight passes on 1st and goal at the 2 and we still can't get 6. This will be a miserable loss if we give this away. They have to play smarter in the 2nd half.

It was a ridiculously stupid play call on First and Goal. Just run it!

Could we play any dumber? Jesus Christ this is getting ridiculous.
