Steve9347 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 29, 2010 -> 09:44 AM) You just got one since there is now about a 99.8 percent chance your must win game Sunday will be meaningless for the opponent. You've also got a few important questionable calls that have gone your way from the officials in games this season. But I'll ignore that, because obviously you're not 9-6 and fighting for a wild card because you can't run the ball, took 18 penalties in a key game against the team that won your division, and have losses to 5-10 Detroit, 7-8 Miami, and 6-9 Washington. You're 9-6 because of injuries, mystique and voodoo, God liking the Bears more, and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 What questionable calls? The Packers are 9-6 because they have had 16 players put on IR. You can discount injuries all you want, but if the Bears or alot of other teams lost as many players as the Packers they would be in last place.

The Bears have been in that position and the fans were told we couldn't use injuries as an excuse because it is football and injuries happen. Too bad, so sad.

GoSox05 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 It does happen. It happens to a couple teams every year. Teams just have to deal with it. I was just pointing out that it has nothing to do with a running game or play calling. The Packers being 9-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexSoxFan#1 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 We had a s***load of injuries last year. Dammit, so now we are gonna rest our starters and let that overrated crap team get in the playoffs instead of going full out and putting them out of their misery...great.

The Bears lost their best pass rusher and their run-stopping, ball-hawking safety, and they wound up losing the super bowl because they couldn't stop the run or generate pressure on Manning.

Harry Chappas Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Anyone that thinks the Bears need to play their starters because they owe it to the Giants needs to have their head examined. The Giants could not help themselves last week against...........Green Bay. Tampa Bay on the other hand will lose at noon to the Saints and then it is not an issue. If the Giants beat Green Bay just last week, this isn't like week 4 or something like that, they would not need the Bears help. Sit Forte, Urlacher, Briggs, Peppers and Hester (on returns). Play max protect and blitz and throw in everything you can on defense to create an illusion that you have a better scheme than the Cover 2, and call it a day.

HuskyCaucasian Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 HA! This is great: Hester Rewards His Blockers With Remote-Control Cars Some quarterbacks take their lineman out to dinner after for keeping them protected during a game. Running backs have been known to buy their lineman watches after a 1,000-yard season. But for setting the NFL’s all-time return TD record, Devin Hester’s blockers got something different. According to Vaughn McClure, of the Chicago Tribune, Hester bought 14 remote-control cars and helicopters for his special-teams teammates. Hester set the NFL record in the December 20th game against the Minnesota Vikings on a 64-yard punt return. While they might not have been gold watches or an expensive dinner, it seems as if the recipients of Hester’s gifts were appreciative. “I loved it, but I can’t figure mine out, though,” Rashied Davis told McClure. “I got a remote-control gas car, and I broke it.” Hester was quite emotional in his post-game press conference after the Vikings game. He expressed his appreciation for all those who have blocked for him and wanted them to receive as much credit and publicity as he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) Devin must have wanted his teammates to reach for their inner-child again. Unfortunately, Rashied Davis couldn't do it since he broke his car. Edited December 29, 2010 by chw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I really, really hope we beat the Packers this week. Because if we don't, I think the Packers will beat the Eagles and the Bears will be playing the Saints in that first playoff game. Would much rather play the Eagles than the Saints.

I want to play the teams the Bears match up the best with. You can say you want to go the toughest route all day long, but the only thing that does is increase our chances of losing.

I know he was, but come on now, the Saints aren't going to shrivel up and die because of the cold. They played well offensively in the NFC Championship game in Soldier Field January of 06'. The difference was, their defense was a bit suspect then. Well, it isn't anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
