Well now the Bears are just making it look easy. Is Vick too shaken to be his usual self now?

To be fair, the Bears have one of the best defenses in the league. There was never a doubt that their D would come to play. It was the O that was suspect, and today, without Philly's starting corners, the Bears O is really opening up. The Bears offense is easily the biggest part of this game, not the defense.

And what the HELL happened to the titans? Chris Johnson gave me a whopping 1 point. I figured with a nobody QB they'd just hand it to him. Unless he got hurt *shudder*.

How bout dem bears!!!

If their offense plays like this for the rest of the season, then that'll be a damn nasty team to play. Don't know if it's the fact that the philly corners are out and the field is pretty slick, or just that the Bears O finally woke up; but what'll matter is whether they keep it up or not. I think this game is out of hand for Philly, though.

Still a lot of football left. Only down two possessions with Eagles knocking on the bears door.

I think that about seals it for the Eagles. I can't see Philly's offense scoring 2 TDs in the next 4 minutes after barely scoring all game. I don't see the Bears' defense just imploding.

That's was incredibly stupid call by the eagles. You're down 15, you don't kick a damn FG and still leave it a two+ possesion game, let alone not do an onside kick.

Fucking stupid by the eagles. Stupid, stupid, stupid. They didn't want to win the game. I don't understand that call at all.

Well, look at the % of a 4th + 18 conversion. If you do not convert it, you lose, period. With the FG at least there's a chance for the win, as low as it may be. It was the lesser of two evils.

KC/Seattle 42/24

I've been a Seahawks fan since the start of the franchise, but I don't like Hasslebeck...and I'm not as fond of them since they were switched to the NFC.

Doesn't matter. 15 point lead is still have to get in endzone twice. 12 point lead = you still have to get in endzone twice. I understand the percentage play, but the possible outcomes and clock/timeouts means you MUST go for it there.

Yeah, but with 15, you need at least 1 2-pt conversion, with 12, you don't need a conversion.
