caliber66 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Just a friendly reminder of how bad ass the '72 Dolphins really were - they won 10 of those games with their backup QB! Without Manning the Colts are a .500 team at best. And fwiw Shula said today on ESPN that he would've done the same thing.Also, in defense of the Colts, they didn't just pull Manning. Half of their starting offense (including the O-line) were on the bench while they were getting pummeled by the Jets' defense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Here is my dilemma: I want Mercury Morris to die in a fire.I want him to die knowing that another team has topped the 72 Dolphins' achievement. I am conflicted.I want Mercury Morris to die from blunt force trauma after another team tops the '72 Dolphins' achievement, and he decides to open the champagne anyway, and the cork strikes him upside his convicted cocaine-trafficker head.

Guest Runaway Jim Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 That was one hell of an exciting Bears/Vikes game. Too bad it didn't have playoff implications for Da Bears. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Yeah, but didn't Saturday play the whole game?Yeah, I think so. Which further fuels the confusion among the players, I'm sure, with some players feeling like they are expendable, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigshoulders Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Yeah, I think so. Which further fuels the confusion among the players, I'm sure, with some players feeling like they are expendable, etc.Never thought of it that way. It's kind of a slinky way to say: "We care about you, but not so much about you."Jeff Saturday is anything but expendable, IMHO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think they are going to win that game, if for nothing else but the irony of the Jets making the playoffs and the Giants not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kevan Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 You know what you never see? Raiders fans. I really think they've been snuffed out by the last 5-7 years of ineptitude. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Runaway Jim Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets! Their win banked me $400+ I predict Chargers over Packers in the Super Bowl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smokestack Joe Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 easy win=easy money congrats i'd put that $400 down on Saturday's game on the J-E-T-S Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 It is really interesting given the history of The Cowboys (Doomsday Defense from the 60's and 70's) that they recorded two shutouts in a row for the first time ever. The Redskins were not that impressive a shutout...but the Eagles? With a bye on the line?Dayum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Runaway Jim Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Given that I'm a Bears fan, I saw some pretty ugly Red Zone performances this year. But this one takes the cake... 1st-10-NYJ12 Penalty Cin-J.T.

Guest Runaway Jim Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Glad to see the Bears fired Turner. I think I'm ok with them keeping Lovie, given that the team wins next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I look forward to a long offseason of Bears fans re-convincing themselves that Jay Cutler is awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I fully believe Cutler is a very good NFL quarterback. I am not a Bears fan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I fully believe Cutler is a very good NFL quarterback. I am not a Bears fan. Well, he's not a very good MLB quarterback, that's for sure. I am not even passing judgment on him. Just that last offseason, Bears fans couldn't stop talking about how great he was, then the beginning of the season how bad he was, and now how great he is. Nothing earth shattering about it. All fans do the same. Just that this is VC. And this is the NFL thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I fully believe Cutler is a very good NFL quarterback. I am not a Bears fan. Jay Cutler is the modern equivalent of Jeff George...$1,000,000 arm, $.50 brain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Despite the 26 picks, he had a 60% completion percentage, 27 TDs and 3700 yards on a team with no true #1 receiver, a bad offensive line and no real running game to speak of. And yes, a lot of the picks were bad throws. But from what I saw, he had a lot of balls that could have been caught or knocked down by his receiver that were picked because his guys sucked. He's more than good enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
