Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2007 The Bears will be fine. They made tons of mistakes on offense and played well below their potential and still hung in there with the team with the best record in the league last year. They're still a ten win team at worst, and considering the weakness of the NFC, they should do much better than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2007 Other than his fumble, I didn't see where Rex played horrible at all. He wasn't great but he was ok. Again it came down to the Bears not having any confidence in him late in the game. If the Bears coaching staff doesn't trust him enough to put the game in his hands late then he doesn't need to be the quarterback anymore. And from the two stupid running plays they called and all the play calling in the fourth quarter, it's obvious they don't have the confidence in him. His interception wasn't his fault. You can't blame the quarterback when the receiver just gives up on the play, doesn't even check to see if the ball is coming his way and just killing his team's momentum by not even caring enough to try and get involved in the play. Every time the Bears offense got moving, they would either fumble the ball or go so conservative that it didn't appear they wanted to win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MFer 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2007 Detroit manned up for once...gave up a 17-point lead on the road and came back to win (yeah it was against the Raiders but the Lions usually blow these games no matter the opponent). Calvin Johnson looked pretty good out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2007 Why exactly did they retain Tom Coughlin again? With Tiki retiring and Eli struggling but still salvagable it was the perfect time for new blood. They're pretty much guaranteed to be mediocre again this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2007 Dallas' defense is overrated. Yes I know there is no Terrence Newman in there tonight, but Dallas' D-line is not getting much pressure without the help of blitzing LBers, and even then not much, and the Cowboys ability to cover the deep zone of the field is not very good.

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2007 Even with the Giants probably losing tonight, at least earlier they were keeping it respectable enough for the media to pipe down about OMG!!COWBOYS2007SBCHAMPS!!THEY:heart:WADEPHILLIPS-ROMO-MANIA!!! for a week or so. Now the Giants need to punch in this TD and maybe throw another FG up to keep the media quiet......Damn though the Giants can't cover the middle of the field.

Well that will be the least of it, who wants to make a bet that they ignore the fact that their defense gave up over 400 yards of offense to the NY Giants and once the NFL Week 2 preview shows kick up around Thursday, Dallas will still be called a "Top Defense" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

strummer 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2007 Don't worry Eagles and Skins fans you get to face the Cowboys and Giants defenses 2 more times each. That was like a 1980s Jets/Dolphins game. So the Giants probably lose their starting RB and Pro Bowl Defensive end for the year and their starting QB gets hurt (and the back ups are laughable, Jared Larenzen, Tim Hasselback and Anthony Wright!!!).
