Will the Pats now win out? That’s the big question. As for MNF, gooooo dolphins!!!!

P.S.- I’m a Browns fan

Credit to Feeley for shredding the Pats pass defense.
Eagles D was all over Brady tonight.

Yep, Lucky win is right.

LUCKY win…The Eagles outplayed the Pats in almost every category.

Yup…this is ridiculous!…but then again? A.J Feeley is a Pats killer

The Eagle’s D is playing out of their minds in the second half.

NICE drive

Pats/Eagles…one play, one score…let’s see what they can do on offense though

I dunno. That penalty was kinda iffy, I thought. And I’m a Bears fan. Had that happened the other way, I would be a bit miffed. I was actually a little annoyed that Moose didn’t come down with that catch. It hit him in the hands, but as the Bears receivers were doing all night, he dropped it. Olsen (TE) had some big drops too on that same drive earlier.

The Bears got bailed out on that call. But then made the most of it, so I will give them credit for that. They still have SO many holes on defense, it is really tough for me to get too excited about the team. I really don’t know what their problem is. I don’t know how they could go from being SO dominant the first 2 1/2 games of the season and then SPLAT, go to a really crappy defense now. They were just big time dominant against LT and Larry Johnson in the first two games and then were doing a good job for 1 half against the Cowboys. Even had the lead in that game I believe. And I think it was 10-10 entering the 4th QTR. And then BLAM, the wheels just fell off and they haven’t been the same defense since. Injuries have been a part of it, but really it’s just piss-poor tackling and not staying in their lanes to keep containment.

They had a lot of that this game against Denver. They burned the Bears on that pitchout throw I don’t know how many times. Teams used to never be able to run stretch plays like that on the Bears D, because they were so fast. Now, it seems like they can’t tackle and they can’t cover. They’re just so… average. Hurts to watch them after having a dominant defense the last 2-3 years.

Oh well. G-men are next at Soldier Field. Hopefully the Bears can build off this win and the G-men continue their free fall.

That’s Dre’ Toasted Bly.

I wonder what kind of mood Bryan’s going to be in on Friday.

Wow. Just wow. I’m glad I caught the end of the Bears game. Amazing comeback.

Drey Bly is going to be a very unpopular guy in the locker room this evening. His penalty made the Bears victory possible.

I vote for drinks, preferably right before the 23rd :-)

Michael in MI — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 00:52:53 +0000

Wow. How the hell did they just win that game. Amazing.

And geez, I would be pissed were I a Cardinals fan right now. Blowing that game after missing a makeable FG. They would have been in great playoff position for the rest of the season. But now, they are 1 game out. Oh well. At least that helps the Bears really slim chances of making the playoffs, so I can’t feel too bad about the Cardinals losing. heh

But geez. The entire Bears team better pitch in to buy Devin Hester a drink… or maybe a new car. He was their entire offense that game. Without him, they get blown out.

Un-fragging-believable. The Bears came all the way back to ruin another one of my picks.

And San Fran takes the game.

By: steveegg

steveegg — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 00:45:51 +0000

Oh well; that game’s dead to me because I gave the long 10 1/2.

Where did this Bear offense come from?

By: Michael in MI

Michael in MI — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 00:44:23 +0000

Gotta feel for Cardinals fans. Rackers just missed a fairly easy 32 yard FG in OT that would have beaten the 49ers and put them into the last Wildcard playoff spot at the moment.

By: steveegg

steveegg — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 00:43:11 +0000

They needed only roughly 35 yards to get Elam into position. They had 22 seconds to do it.

Denver, we have a problem. Devin Hester has won the toss and elected to receive.

By: steveegg

steveegg — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 00:41:50 +0000

Fortunately, Denver is just as stupid; draw play with no time-outs, then commit an illegal motion/false start to end regulation.

I was thinking the same thing. The last time they did this exact thing, they allowed Adrian Peterson of the Vikings to return the kickoff to midfield and then they kicked a 55 yard FG to beat the Bears. I’m waiting for the same thing to happen.

By: steveegg

steveegg — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 00:38:11 +0000

After further review, the Bears left too much time on the clock. 28 seconds left, tie game, both teams out of time-outs.

steveegg — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 00:34:58 +0000

I don’t fragging believe it; the Bears have tied it up with offense!

By: Michael in MI

Michael in MI — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 00:19:06 +0000

steveegg – heh I was just coming here to post that it seems the Bears figured out that since they can’t play football very well, they can try to play some rugby and see if that works. heh Oh well. If the defense can step up here, they have a chance, but I don’t have any faith in the Bears offense at all. Granted, I don’t have much faith in the Bears defense either.

By: steveegg

steveegg — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 00:15:12 +0000

The Bears can thank their special teams for all of their points. Nothing like a blocked punt and a rugby scrum.

Oh, and I assume you’re taking the Eagles and the long 23, BKennedy? For shame!

By: Michael in MI

Michael in MI — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 23:10:09 +0000

Devin Hester strikes again! Woohoo!

Now, if only the rest of the team could get its collective arse together, the Bears may actually have a chance to win. The defense seems to have forgotten how to tackle ever since Halftime of the Week 3 game vs Dallas and the offense hasn’t been able to do anything since… well all season long. *ugh*
