Sorry, 7-1. I was off on my weeks. Anyhow, Chicago has only played one team with a record better than .5.

One. Seattle is 5-3 while MN is only 4-4.

You can add up the records of about 5 of their previous opponents going into this weeks game and those 5 teams have less wins combined than the Bears did.

That says something to me.

Bah, forget this "It's the NFL a win is a win" crap. The Bears have been handed an easy schedule and have managed to struggle with the Cardinals and lose to the Dolphins. In a game that counts, there won't be three TDs scored in 6 minutes, period. Even if they win out the regular season, they will lose their first big playoff game. Quote it :).
Some teams find a way to pull out a win even when they're outplayed the whole game. It's a sign of a good team when they consistantly do that.

There are only two halves...so that means the Giants win and the Bears can't come back.

Uhhh, no. He means that the Giants will start the 2nd half up 9, blow it and hold on to win by 3.

And where's the confusion?

going INTO the 2nd half with a 9 point lead means they ended the first half up by 9 points.

Uuuuuhg. That's not good. If if Burress does make the game, he's going to be getting double coverage now that they have some "lesser" receivers to have to worry about.

Shockey better be ready for *a lot* of looks.

As long as the bears use my "punt every time you get the ball on the 1st down" strategy, they will win every game for the rest of the season ;)

Grossman is the achilles heel of the bears.

Plax didn't make it through practice today, but he's hopeful that he'll play.
Sinorice Moss did practice today for the first time in a long time.

Hester isn't much bettter. One punt he returns it for a touchdown, the next two he fumbles on the 5 yard line.

Side wager, what's the over/under on Mehsin Muhammad dropping catches this Sunday? And will he have more or less drops than T.O.?

I think its was just a horrible bad streak for Hester.

He has done fine in the past.

Grossman fvcks up EVERY time hes under pressure.

Where is the thread about how the Bears should punt on first down because their defense scores all the points and the other team only scores when Grossman throws the ball?
