Philadelphia Eagles
Dear Bears,
Play football tonight like football is all that matters. Play football tonight like the very notion of losing two games in front of your home crowd is an affront you dare not suffer. Please play football tonight like it's the 17th week of the season and your playoff life depends on it. Play football tonight like you played football two years ago: with guts and heart. With bluster. With passion.
Play football tonight and win. Just win.
Bear down,
jeff
#2 animal said . . .play football like you care about winning in the fourth quarter. if the d blows this late again i'm going to go insane.
i'd rather a steady defeat than another heartbreaker. keep your legs d.
win this game and i'll believe again. lose and you are what everyone thinks you are.

#6 BearDown1982 said . . .oops, the dreader double post early in the thread. gah!
September 28, 2008
#7 Joseph said . . .I have no idea what to expect tonight.
What would I love to see?
1. A Bears ball control offense that DOESN'T turn the ball over and completes some passes downfield to keep the defense honest.
2. A Bears defense that DOESN'T wilt in the 4th quarter and plays a complete game...regardless of how much time they have to spend on the field.
3. Impact plays from Devin Hester and Mike Brown for the first time this season. (okay, okay...they have both made some plays, but not the game changing ones we have come to expect from the both of them)
4. A jacked up home field crowd that refuses to let its team go 1-3 before one of the easiest stretches of the season.Enjoy today's games everybody...and of course, tonight's game against Philly.
Go Bears!
September 28, 2008
#8 Rancid said . . .Almost time to put up the metal cage around my t.v like in Blues Brothers to protect from the flying beer bottles!
PLAY LIKE THEY SLAPPED UR MOMMA!! GO BEARS!!
September 28, 2008
#9 Wake up time said . . .Being in NY I love the fact I can watch this game from home, I just hate waiting until tonight. These Bears must show their true colors today. They must show us who they will be the rest of the season.
September 28, 2008
#10 NY Bears Fan said . . .Wow....8 comments. I hope everyone is doing their pregame vomit to get the jitters out. Well I guess it is a bit early...
GO BEARS....Beat the Iggles and make us believe (more than we do right now).
No prediction....just can't get there yet.
September 28, 2008
#11 Wake up time said . . .I have been watching the Packers game today and I think we underestimated how good the Bucs are. They are making Aaron Rodgers and the Packers look really bad. It is exciting since we match up very similar with the Packers. Since the first drive the Packers have been able to do very little with the ball. If the Bucs can hold them off and the Bears can pull it off tonight we are tied for first. There is a lot to be postive about....
September 28, 2008
#12 NY Bears Fan said . . .Yes, I've been watching it too. Agree on all points. Also Bucs should have at least another FG besides the TD they just scored. The Int was off the receivers hand. Hmmmm. Seen that before.
Go Bucs. Beat the fucking Packers.
September 28, 2008
#13 animal said . . .Why did i have to go and Jinx it? Now Griese is trying to give the game away to the Fudge Packers!
September 28, 2008
#14 NY Bears Fan said . . .Nice to see Griese do it to the Packers as well.
Did you see Gaines Adams LIGHT UP Rodgers? Nice.
Hey, fudgepack fans, Aaron Rodgers called. He wants you to pick him up at the hospital.
That's him in the bed next to Al Harris.
FUCK THE PACKERS!! MY DAY IS HALF WAY MADE!!
FUCK THE VIQUEENS!! YAAAA BABY!September 28, 2008
#15 Z said . . .Six TD's by Favre and Rodgers is hurting after the punishment that the Bucs layed down on him. I think a lot of Bears fans were wishing for that scenario!
The way the year has shaped up so far the first two losses are from solid teams that are continuing to win. After the Eagles the Bears have 4 team that are reeling right now and the Titans look like the only tough team on the schedule through November.
September 28, 2008
#16 zisk said . . .Yeah Pack lose!! Rodgers has 3 INT's and a banged up shoulder.
Min just lost too!!
Come on Bears huge chance to get in this season!!!
September 28, 2008
#17 Shady said . . .Green bay should be terrified of having flynn start.
September 28, 2008
#18 animal said . . .Great to see GB go down to Tampa in Tampa. Questions about Rodgers? Even better.
Big opportunity tonight, Bears - go get it!
September 28, 2008
#19 Al In WI said . . .A win, and a tie for the division lead! who would have thought that would be possible today?? WOW. This game is HUGE. The Bears should come out jacked up and looking to redeem themselves. this is a HUGE opportunity in the division. Thank you Tampa and Tennessee.
September 28, 2008
#20 wherestommie? said . . .Keys to the game:
1. Pressure McNabb early and often. For all the hype about how great he is, he's still a player that get's rattled and wears down. Put hits on him, and force him to make mistakes.
2. Play Kevin Jones. Matt Forte has been an impressive player so far this season. But he's carrying to the ball too much, and Jones is a more punishing runner. He didn't get many primetime opportunities in Detroit and may be primed for a break out game. Also keeping the ball and the game out of the shaky hands of Kyle Orton would be a plus as well.
3. Use the right weapons. That means when you pass the ball your options should be as follows; 1. Lloyd, 2. Clark, 3. Booker, 4. Olsen. And that's it. Enough of the dump passes to running backs, and enough trying to count on Rash Davis. Marty Booker has a lot left in the tank if Orton can hit him.
4. Quick hook. If any player is obviously struggling the Bears must pull him asap. That means eyes on Orton, Vasher, and Davis.
Get 'em boys you have great opportunity sitting here with the state of this division.September 28, 2008
#21 sausage said . . .tommie is out.
hester is in.
westbrook is out.
September 28, 2008
#22 animal said . . .agree with your fourth point al, but not as it pertains to orton. gametime
September 29, 2008
#23 animal said . . .Al, amend that to pressure McNabb with the front 4.
I'm actually excited to see a healthy young Harrison and Dusty D rather than a gimpy Harris.
September 29, 2008
#24 JP said . . .Idonije gettin the start!
YAAAAAAAAAA DANIEL MANNING!!!
September 29, 2008
#25 JP said . . .NICE!
September 29, 2008
#26 RandomName said . . .KO going for the KO~
September 29, 2008
#27 zisk said . . .TD or no td??
September 29, 2008
#28 said . . .Spectacular start
September 29, 2008
#29 JP said . . .Rashied Davis STARTS? Way to make up for some bad play Sheed!!
yaaaaa Greg Olsen baby!!!!!!!!!!!Hey Orton haters, there is a nice big Fuck You.
September 29, 2008
#30 Noah said . . .After that drive I honestly think Ron Turner has multiple personalities. How the heck do we not see that every week.
September 29, 2008
#31 animal said . . .the bears dodged one there. didn't look like olsen got that second foot down but good job special teams in kicking the PA fast as hell!
September 29, 2008
#32 said . . .Some redemption for goats Davis and Olsen on the first drive.
AWESOME start. COME ON D LETS GET MCNABB'S ASS!!!!!I just pulled a gramatica and hurt my wrist somehow celebrating that touchdown.
September 29, 2008
#33 KentuckyBearsFan said . . .all about the fourth quarter guys
September 29, 2008
#34 johnnyelpaso said . . .Wow, Andy Reid was too stupid to challenge the Olson TD catch. He looked out. He must value timeouts over uh winning.
September 29, 2008
#35 JP said . . .thats what im talking about orton to olsen.....whoooooooooooiiiiiii.
September 29, 2008
#36 JP said . . .That's right. The Offense did there job now it's the Defenses turn to stop the Eaglets.
September 29, 2008
#37 Nicole is cheerin on Da Bears in Greenville said . . .That was an amazing pass...
This game is gonna be tough.
September 29, 2008
#38 johnnyelpaso said . . .This defense is making me smile....
(minus the TD that just happened while I was typing)September 29, 2008
#39 Idonije said . . .defense needs to put pressure on qb.........has to much time. urlacher almost had a int..........shit....
September 29, 2008
#40 Wake up time said . . .That 4 man pass rush isn't getting it done, so either light a fire under their ass or send some heat. You give McNabb that time, and they'll put 30 up on us.
September 29, 2008
#41 KentuckyBearsFan said . . .I guess Babitch thought blitz's should be saved for lateer. Idiot. The front 4 can't get there with the Iggles O line
FUCKSeptember 29, 2008
#42 animal said . . .Actually, on that second replay maybe Olson WAS in.
Crap. Philly already answered back. 7-7 ballgame. Near perfect pass from McNabb.
September 29, 2008
#43 Z said . . .damn. a couple years ago, 54 just snags that pass out of the air.
Lets see if Turner keeps this thing rolling, or bogs it down.
September 29, 2008
#44 Idonije said . . .I missed the 1st Defensive stand. Heard we had a sack.
GO making up for previous mishaps with a sweet TD catch. Suprised Reid didn't review that. It was close.
D bending. Eagles are prety good. Briggs with a hit that guys mama probably felt. Mike Brown laying it down breaking up what would have been a 1st and goal.
But then their rookie makes 3 of our guys look lost beating the zone for a TD.
Great to see Hester in there.
Bear Down!!!
September 29, 2008
#45 Ronaldo said . . .That 4 man pass rush isn't getting it done, so either light a fire under their ass or send some heat. You give McNabb that time, and they'll put 30 up on us.
September 29, 2008
#46 JP said . . .KO looking sharp, D looking dull.
September 29, 2008
#47 Idonije said . . .Let's see if RT goes back to his dink-dunk personality.
September 29, 2008
#48 johnnyelpaso said . . .Orton audible number 1.

#49 Z said . . .defense needs to put pressure on qb.........has to much time. urlacher almost had a int..........shit....
September 29, 2008
#50 Nicole is cheerin on Da Bears in Greenville said . . .Forte for 12 yards on 2nd and 14.
Forte 1st down. This kid flows.
Orton throws it badly over everybody. Damn
September 29, 2008
#51 animal said . . .Nice Kyle... keep it up guy.
September 29, 2008
#52 craig said . . .That looked like a good pass, and Forte just lost it and slowed up too much. Damn.
The D needs to step up right now.September 29, 2008
#53 animal said . . .Dammit, Kyle. Last week you underthrew every pass over 15 yards. Now you're overthrowing them. Settle down, KO...
Related note: You think opposing teams would figure it out if every time we needed to throw longer than 15 yards we snuck Sexy Rexy out there?
September 29, 2008
#54 JP said . . .McNabb has all day.
Looks like Griese standing back there picking us apart. Except McNabb can wing it, and Jackson looks faaaast.
I hope they can change something up here.September 29, 2008
#55 Wake up time said . . .Keys to the game?
Keep puttin DM on his back!
NICE!
September 29, 2008
#56 animal said . . .KO missed an open Forte. That's the pass that the KO haters like to bitch about. It looked as if he slowed his motion and tried to steer it in. Has to stop thinking and chuck it.
Now we get to watch whay the D does.....
Finally another sack even if it was a coverage sack.....#5 had all day.
September 29, 2008
#57 johnnyelpaso said . . .That was all Alex Brown.
Tillman was just laying out for the block, that's bullshit. We LUCKED out there!
September 29, 2008
#58 Z said . . .there go the stupid mistakes........ offset penalties thank god.....
September 29, 2008
#59 man said . . .Was that Alex Brown with the pressure and Idonjie (sp?) with the sack on 3rd down. Sick! That is how our D is supposed to bring it.
Tillman watch the fuck out. Roughing the kicker. Phew! Illegal formation on the Eagles. Thank god. Offsetting. Would have been their ball and an auto 1st down. Lucky. He shoves a WR late on his way out of bounds too. Watch it.
Great job D. Come on O
September 29, 2008
#60 Z said . . .hester cant catch....
September 29, 2008
#61 Wake up time said . . .GO with the catch and a 15 yard face mask. OK we will take it.
Hester jump. You have to catch that.
Good call TO. I hate still having time outs left at the end of a half or game. We need points. Just a little farther
September 29, 2008
#62 JP said . . .Hester Has to catch that. Sure TD
September 29, 2008
#63 animal said . . .What the heck was that?
STEP UP!
September 29, 2008
#64 Z said . . .Fucking Hester!! Terrible drop!!
September 29, 2008
#65 animal said . . .Sack shit. Forte you gotta get a body on 1 of those guys. 52 yarder? Nope. Punt.
No fair catch. Out of bounds at the 12.
Come on D.
September 29, 2008
#66 Z said . . .Im telling you all right now, this is one of those games where Hester looks human and will lull the Eagles to sleep. He will score in this game. Mark my words.
September 29, 2008
#67 johnnyelpaso said . . .We keep shutting down the run. 2nd down. Overthrow by McNabb. Jail break on 3rd. Thrown out of bounds. Sweet. Great job D.
Hester no where to go. Good field position.
September 29, 2008
#68 animal said . . .hester is running scared.....looks like hes thinking to much of his injury.......the o line needs to protect orton a little better......2 sacks already....
September 29, 2008
#69 Z said . . .Forte could break a big one against one of those blitzes.
September 29, 2008
#70 Wake up time said . . .Forte for a couple.
Orton throw it away. Crushing sack. Is anyone blocking on the right side?
3rd and a lot
September 29, 2008
#71 JP said . . .Note the time McN gets vs KO. We have to protect better WHOEVER it is. KO or Rex or Hanie or who knows...
ps to Turner...there are plays that....
YESSSSS our ball. I'll shut up/
September 29, 2008
#72 said . . .Nice turnover.
But this is what ticks me off about RT. 1 and 10...go for the endzone.
September 29, 2008
#73 NY Bears Fan said . . .Forte could break a big one against one of those blitzes.
NICE Jackson you cocky little fuck!!
We need to go right after them here.
I FUCKING LOVE KYLE ORTON.
Hey, Orton haters, suck a dick.
September 29, 2008
#74 Nicole is cheerin on Da Bears in Greenville said . . .The Bears came out of the gate with a good plan and executed well early. Now is where coaching and on the field changes are important. Unless they can do that the offense will continue to stall in the coming quarters.
September 29, 2008
#75 JP said . . .Just the break we need boys. USE IT!!!!!!
September 29, 2008
#76 craig said . . .KO lookin sharp. Two TD's in the first half?
NICE!
September 29, 2008
#77 craig said . . .There you go Kyle! Sweet, long, throw.

YES Bears have it at the Eagles 26
TD to Marty Booker. SICK!!!
Nice pass KO. Didn't look like he was throwing into the wind there.

September 29, 2008
#83 Z said . . .Why did it take Forte to get that tackle? There was like 14 other hands on that guy before him. MERCY!
Common boys....you're givin me heartburn.September 29, 2008
#84 JP said . . .We can not give McNabb that much time. Their rookie WR is killing us.
Bad tackling. Come on.
Fuck gave it right back. A shootout and the Bears are in it.
Sorry O. We need Orton the gunslinger again.
Does Hester look a step slower. I hope not
September 29, 2008
#85 craig said . . .Love the way KO is leading the Offense.
Kevin Jones? Nice to meet you!
September 29, 2008
#86 Z said . . .Seriously, why the fuck are you running Orton out on boots?
Secondly, am I the only one who's feeling sad when I see Urlacher on replays? He's got the look of someone past his prime... Good thing we re-inked Briggs.
Nice to see KJ out there running around.
Finally, Jeffy, waiting for these comments is killing me. Maybe we've got to set up some other spot for gametime discussion?
September 29, 2008
#87 Z said . . .Good KO throw it away if there is nothing.
GO for 6 yards
Lloyd 1st down. Big play boys. Hell Yeah
Kevin Jones for a couple. Yeah mix it up. Pound that D. Wear em out.
Jones sick for a bunch. 1st down and a bunch more. Staying on his feet. That was sick.
Jones bottled up for -2. Go ahead boys throw it.
KO with a TO. Hmm they better have had that 1 dead to rights. Oh well. Better than a bad play.

---- still workin on my Orton half Purdue/half Bears jersey. :)September 29, 2008
#91 animal said . . .Wow...that was horrible.
The way this game is shaping up the team who wins will be the one that gives their QB time.
September 29, 2008
#92 Nicole is cheerin on Da Bears in Greenville said . . .That is not on KO as much as this Eagles D and the blocking.
Even Madden can see McNabb is just shredding the Lovie2. Just like Griese did.

#94 Z said . . .Nice stop by the defense. We needed that. Now the o-line needs to get it together and stop playing like kids that are scared of the bully.
September 29, 2008
#95 animal said . . .Did Garza help tackle Forte there?
Held it too long KO. Did you think they would never get there. Damn INT.
Come on D. We need u
#54 nice hit
Stopped the 1st down. Good tackling. Way to get him outof bounds.
3rd and short. Stopped. Nice hold D.
FG attempt from Neptune. No good. Sweet TO didn't hurt. Phew!
Shake it KO and get back in there.
September 29, 2008
#96 craig said . . .Drop the cover 2 now.
Forte is having another warrior-like game against another great Defense.
Just imagine what he might do vs. the Lions if he is this solid and tough vs. the Eagles, Panthers, and Bucs Defenses.Love me some Brandon Lloyd. Lets punch this shit in baby.
September 29, 2008
#97 Z said . . .Yes! KO getting the feel of those longer throws.
Let's go offense, get some points on the board and go into the half with a lead.
I think I'm done for now. Every comment is 3+ minutes of waiting and 1 of 4 returns a MoveableType error.
September 29, 2008
#98 Z said . . .We got away with a bad hold there on Forte's screen. Good work though kid.
3rd and some change.
All Lloyd does is make big plays. Nice catch. Both feet down. Nice.
Oh shit he is hurt. How bad? No No No. Lay down. Injury TO then instead right? How does that work?
September 29, 2008
#99 NY Bears Fan said . . .McKie for 1. Hooray!
Hester thrown 3 yards back. 2 yard gain
We need throws over 5 yards please.
Are we running decently effective screens?
So close to a 1st. Did we get it? Good job avoiding the blitz there.
1st down. Sweet
Batted down on 1st down
We are well within FG range. Keep pushing it O.
What a half. Great game. We need a lead
September 29, 2008
#100 said . . .Is it me or did Ron Turner pull his head out of his ass tonight in the first half?
September 29, 2008
#101 Ronaldo said . . .I think there are just a lot of us on the blog, causing these issues.
It should be noted (are you listening PO'd you dick?) That Kyle Orton is outplaying McNabb so far.
WOW. Hester should have two TD catches right now!
September 29, 2008
#102 animal said . . .To all the KO haters...
F' OFF.September 29, 2008
#103 johnnyelpaso said . . .Not to brag, but I predicted/gaurenteed that Hester TD
September 29, 2008
#104 Wake up time said . . .WAY TO GO BEARS!!!!!!!!!!
September 29, 2008
#105 JP said . . .TD
Hester...real nice grab
OK defense it's on you.
Babitch. PRESSURE You fucking IdiotSeptember 29, 2008
#106 Z said . . .KO...3 TD's in the first half?
Let's go for 7 and beat Favre. haha
September 29, 2008
#107 PO'd is Crying Himself to Sleep Somewheres said . . .Come on. Finish the half strong.
Forte for 1.
Oh shit Hester can't catch what?
No I was pissed earlier too.
But that made up for it all.
He may have pushed off just a teeny bit but it was minimal if anything.
Sick sick catch.
When KO doesn't have time to think about things and just chucks it his pass looks real nice. That was an amazong play for KO and #23
Sick Bears have the lead

#110 johnnyelpaso said . . .Ronaldo, Im with you.
First Half Positives: Orton. The run D.
First Haft Negatives: the Lovie Deuce. McNabb has picked it apart just like Griese and Delhomme in the second half of the past couple of games. Scrap that shit, play man to man and blitz someone different on every play.
September 29, 2008
#111 Z said . . .WAY TO GO BEARS!!!!!!!!!!
September 29, 2008
#112 craig said . . .D getting pressure all over McNabb and great tackling. Way to wrap him up short of the 1st.
Force the punt.
Orton gets it back.
He has 167 yards and 3 TD's in the 1st half against the Eagles and counting. I think we should cut the still young KO a little more slack and see what he can become.
No way that is a fumble. Come on refs get it right. Close but he got that throwing motion forward. Isn't that all u need to make it a pass attempt?
Sweet. Incomplete. Good call.
Now please punt, tackle and 1 stop and lets go to the locker room.
Even better no tackle necessary. At the 4. Nice
They kneel. What a 1st half huh ladies and gentlemen. Fucking sweet Bears football!!
September 29, 2008
#113 Wake up time said . . .1. NBC Sunday Night Football Extra is pretty cool.
2. Orton, as much as I love to poke fun at him, has been tremendous.
September 29, 2008
#114 Luke said . . .Z...see #55 That's what I have thought about him the last 2 years. Plays much better in an up tempo game. When Turner holds back he doesn't often play as well.
September 29, 2008
#115 Wake up time said . . .That was on hell of a half of football. AND the Packers lost? LET'S FINISH THIS GAME GENTLEMEN!!!!
GO BEARS!!!!!

Favre threw for 6 TD's today?
Hah I have to text some Wisconsin friends.
Remeber no playoffs for the Jets or the Pack gets a better draft pick for the trade. Next year they can meet us in the SB. Next year.
Rodgers said it felt like he separated his shoulder.

#120 Z said . . .OK adjustments and intensity are the keywords here for the 2nd half. I agree with animal. Back off the Lovie deuce. Ain't fooling no one.
Aggressive Attack
Lloyd knee injury. Done for the game. Is hester out too?
September 29, 2008
#121 Ronaldo said . . .Nothing shaking on the 1st series. 3rd down. Pass low and away from Booker. OK KO shake it off. 1st down. Keep that clock moving.
Booming punt. Holy Crap. He let it go. Down at the what 4? 6?
Nice come on D! Let em have it. We need a Turnover. Pick for a TD. Sack with a fumble for a TD
September 29, 2008
#122 Z said . . .I like the way this is shaking out so far. KO's been lights out and the D is starting to shake some of the rust off and making plays.
4th Q, here we come. Defense get ready.
September 29, 2008
#123 Ronaldo said . . .I was going to bitch about the Eagles 24 yard run and our tackling issue then I saw they had some good fortune and good blocking on that play and Payne held on until reinforcements came
And then Payne picks it off. YES
They got that WR pushed and spun and that was awesome. Way to go D. Did I call that or what?
How about a big play to a TE here?
Buckholter down and it doesn't
look goodWe are at the Philly 11
NO KO pick in the endzone. WTF?
Wow what a momentum slower that was. Points for sure just gone. Damn
Sorry D. We need it again. FUCK. Come on Orton that looked pretty bad
September 29, 2008
#124 Z said . . .About that INT, Dez was slow running the route...and he was blatantly held by the LB...and it was a bad throw.
September 29, 2008
#125 Z said . . .Buckholter in the locker room. Nice hit was that Vasher making him pay and making that in incomplete.
Another incomplete. Way to go D
Punt. Shit hester run back and get that. Oh never mind. Let it bounce. Shit he looks slow tonight. Not his usual burst. Bu the didn't look slow on the TD. Hmmm! Maybe it is just me. Still our ball. The 4 yard line is not my preference. Come on. Drive O. 1st downs
September 29, 2008
#126 craig said . . .Hester lost 8 on that punt.
Forte loses what 2 there
Almost a safety
2nd down pass batted down
This is scary
3rd down a couple just to breath
Great punt considering the circumstances
This fucking Rookie for the Eagles
They have great position. Our 35
Come on D. Here is where you earn all those millions
September 29, 2008
#127 craig said . . .Run blocking has been unacceptable.
McNabb has WAY too much time back there.

Briggs hitting like a Mack truck
Oh damn I think he stepped on Peanut's chest after the missed tackle.
Pretty long FG
Man we need Peanut
47 yarder. Missed YES!! Come on O! We need points and clock burned. 1st downs
September 29, 2008
#131 NY Bears Fan said . . .KO now responsible for as many turnovers as TDs.
September 29, 2008
#132 animal said . . .Same shit, different week. I can't take this as a Bears fan. This is going to drive me crazy, we need some points to get separation.
September 29, 2008
#133 animal said . . .guilty. high on Orton too soon again.
September 29, 2008
#134 craig said . . .YES! Mark Anderson finally gets a sack! hahaha.
Beautiful stop by the Defense AGAIN.
So it was the O carrying us in the first half, the D carrying us in third Q. Maybe, just maybe, we can put the two things together for the last frame.September 29, 2008
#135 Z said . . .AWESOME goal line stand. Now let's see KO right the ship. Actually, would love to see Forte run all over on this upcoming drive.
You know, if Hester or Manning don't take the kickoff to the house.
September 29, 2008
#136 KentuckyBearsFan said . . .What the fuck was that
St. Clair if you are going to hold him and get smoked that bad then just tackle him and get the penalty.
And Orton put your other hand on the ball as your going down. Fuck holding yourself up on the fall. Fall on your face and break your fuckingneck if you have to just hang onto the ball. Like it is your own heart and you will die losing it. DAMN
Great this is why the D gets beaten and tired. FUCK
Eagles 1st down catch on 3rd from a guy on the ground.
1st and goal. Great.
Nice stop on the 1st D. Pass breakup
Buckholter back on the bench
McNabb falls down. Sweet
Buckholter in. 3rd and Goal. Need this bad
Broken up. Yes The D is showing some heart as the O has slipped with 2 turnovers.
Come on Orton. 4 point lead. We need same shit. Different drive. 1st downs. Points and clock disappearing. Come on
Bear Down now.
Hester looked spry on that 1
September 29, 2008
#137 animal said . . .Good job by the D limiting Philly to a field goal after the Orton fumble.

September 29, 2008
#140 said . . .Hester 51 yard return. Big time. What 1 guy to beat.
GO for 3
Forte for 3
Orton sacked. Throw it the fuck away. Whatever you are doing. You are holding the ball to fucking long.
D Kyle is really sorry and if you can give us the ball back with the lead one more time he promises to knock that shit off

How many ways can we find to blow these leads. I am going to break some shit.
Be right back
September 29, 2008
#145 NY Bears Fan said . . .Hey, RT, nobody is worried about a reverse to 86. Wrong guy to try and scare folks with. Dipshit.
Fuck. If we lose this game, it is on the O 100% cause the D has played their asses off on short fields the whole second half.
September 29, 2008
#146 Z said . . .They play awesome, then turn around and try to give the fucking game away every single week. This is getting old really fast. I have a feeling we are going to pull this out somehow someway!!

#147 animal said . . .At our 15
Hillenmeyer with the sack. YES

No 1st down
FG attempt. This one is a lot closer
31 yards. Shit I could probably hit this. Nailed it.
1 point lead.
Orton we need you. Forte. Tea Time. Anybody?? Jones think about women cognac and hot tubs in just a little bit man.
Come on Bears you are prematurely aging your faithful fans. Exciting ? Yes! Heart attack inducing? Too close for comfort

Booke ralmost throwing it and turning it into something.
I like that play to Hester. He looks fast. My bad, I will never say such blasphemy again. Nice if he could have gotten his lineman further up there and maybe jumper over them both.
Fuck Orton getting booed. Throw it away if you have to.
Good as Gould

Anything but the endzone
Unless you guys want to force a turnover and score.

Alex Brown continues to have a great season.
Forte didn't have huge numbers, but wow. He is a ROCK.
KO was up, then down, but remember before we start the criticism who he was playing, and what they have done to other, much more highly touted, quarterbacks.
We finished. We sealed the deal. This team should be 4-0. Ill settle for a co-lead in the division.
THEY PUT ALL 11 BEARS DEFENDERS ON THE HORSE TRAILER.

Bear Down! Let's kep it rolling.
September 29, 2008
#180 big rob said . . .Nice tackle by Vasher to seal the victory.
Matt Forte is the People's Champ. I love that he never celebrates. He grinds it out, and even on the biggest plays, he straightens his helmet and heads back to work.
I wish KO hadn't been so terrible in the second half, but I don't know that it completely overshadows how tremendous he was in the first.
Despite giving up some long drives, you gotta feel good about the D's stands late in this game. They simply would not lose this one. This was their win.
Tied for first in the division. Go Bears!
September 29, 2008
#181 animal said . . .America FUCK YEAH!!!
September 29, 2008
#182 Who's Laughing Now said . . .Bring on the Lions. 3-2 sounds awesome right now, after I thought we would be 1-3 tonight.
September 29, 2008
#183 animal said . . .This game was about REDEMPTION. Greg Olsen, goat of Game 2, made a beautiful fingertip TD catch. Rashied Davis, who has stunk the last two games, made some big catches early. Kyle Orton, who I personally think was about ready to lose his job, redeemed himself with three TDs ... yes, he got away with some more boneheaded plays, but the defense bailed him out this time. And yes, the D, they redeemed themselves after folding like a cheap suit two weeks in a row, they refused to lose and produced a goal-line stand for the ages. I love how much the Eaagles are hating Chicago right now: last year, we beat them with a classic tw0-minute drill, and this year we turn them back fourth-and-one at the goal line. Does anyone know ... was McNabb losing his cookies on that final drive?
September 29, 2008
#184 animal said . . .For some reason, I have been saying the Vikes and Pack are 2-2. My bad. the Queens are 1-3. Not sure how I missed that. So we are tied with just the fudgepack for the division lead.
Please tell me Rodgers' injury is very very serious. Tell me something is broken. Tell me the Bears will face Flynn or Brohm in our next two meetings.
My how fast things can turn in the NFL.
We need to take the Lions VERY seriously. Need to play very hard and not overlook them. That said, we should win by two TDs.
I would love to see Forte get 100 yards on the ground, 50 through the air, 2 TDs. I fuckin love this guy. He was a ROCK tonight.September 29, 2008

#187 shonbear said . . .Alex Brown. Thank You.
Another gut wrenching game. Offense had its moments in the first half...second half, not so much. Too many silly turn overs and they will need to learn to limit those if we are going to become a playoff team. Also, I hope Lloyd isn't hurt too seriously because he is clearly our best receiver. Kudos to Forte on that third down at the end...Ced doesn't get there guaranteed. On defense...still not enough pressure from the front four, but I was glad to see that they continue to limit the big play...especially against an offense like this one. Very, very glad that Westbrook didn't play though. He makes a huge difference. Great job on the goal line of course. Way to win it this time Fellas! More tomorrow...good night all.

#188 enderwiggin said . . .Two words:
Wow and wheh!
Get some rest now fellas and get some pussy next week! Here's to hoping this shows the offense is starting to get into a groove (except for the turn-over problems) This is just showing that when we have the killer instict we are going to win these kinds of games.
Here's to a team that should be 4-0 not letting it get to their head when we face the lowly lions next week. How are the lions against the run? Might want to let a hungry Kevin Jones take over that game because maybe he thinks he has something to prove and at the same time it will rest our star.
This feels so much better waiting for the next weeks game, than the last two weeks.
Wow! and Wheh!!

#193 Joist said . . .This team has been resurrected from the dead.
This team was looking at 1-3 and dead in the water. I claim nothing- I thought they would lose. They actually won.
Goal line stand for the ages. ESPN Classic. Amazing.
This team has life.
They now go into a stretch of games nothing at all like the first 4 they played. Think back to preseason, and imagine if we had promised to be 2-2 in these games. We would all be excited. Now we should be.
The Bears could very well fuck this up. They have proven that. But, they shouldn't. They should go 4-0 or 3-1 in the next 4.We play the Lions twice in the next 4 games. That's medicine for the ill baby. It would be sweet to knock off the Queens during this stretch.
September 29, 2008
So many excellent things about this game.
1a) The Defense. They put their money where their mouth is, and despite some schematic flaws, collectively decided that they simply would not allow a TD in the second half, regardless of the situation (1st and goal at the 1, TWICE) or the Eagles' starting field position.
1b) Ron Turner. I belittle him when he fucks up and/or calls plays too predictably, so I have to give him credit when he calls a great game:
-He called a couple of great screens when he correctly guessed that Philly would blitz.
-He opened up with that great no-huddle, zing the ball down the field offense that produced two quick scores.
-He incorporated Kevin Jones a little more, allowing Forte to save up gas for when we needed him most (see below).
-When the offense really started skidding in the second half, he (gasp) MADE ADJUSTMENTS, taking the pressure off Orton and the O-line by calling a couple of well-designed end arounds and reverses, one of which sprung Hester for a huge gain that resulted in a big Gould field goal.
-Even that end-around on the Bears' last offensive play, though it didn't result in anything, showed a significant amount of foresight and creativity (at best we fool the Eagles and pick up a game-clinching first down, at worst we run a couple of precious extra seconds off the clock).Just a masterfully-called game. No, I have no idea where it came from, or whether he'll follow up with another one next week. We shall see.
2) Matt Forte. The numbers don't necessarily show it, but that third down run at the end of the game, with the Bears backed up, the Eagles pissed off and wanting the ball back, and with over two minutes left, told me everything I needed to know. He bounced off two tackles at the line of scrimmage, juked another defender out of his shoes, and picked up the greatest run of the season so far. And he didn't do any chest-thumping or anything, just handed the ball to the ref and went back to take the next carry. What a fucking player.
3) The O-line. The Eagles were rushing and blitzing the hell out of them, stacking the box, and they still held their own. Orton's sacks were mostly coverage sacks and/or consequent of him holding the ball for too long. On the aforementioned Forte run, Garza had a helluva block, and Kreutz picked up a couple of blocks on Hester's end-around.
4) Kyle Orton. He's still got to learn to get rid of the ball more quickly, especially against a ferocious D like Philly's, but all three of those touchdown throws (the touch throw to Olsen, the tough post throw to Clark, and especially the lead to Hester) were beautiful and more than made up for his miserable third quarter.
5) Speaking of Clark and Olsen, nice to see them each catching TD passes, huh? Clark looked like he kind of wussed out/got held on Orton's second killer INT, but aside from that those dudes did everything asked, including some killer blocks and some tough 5-6 yard catches.
6) I know I mentioned the defense already, but Lance Briggs has to be singled out. That guy was all over the field and absolutely destroyed Buckhalter twice.
7) I'm as surprised as anybody that Hester hasn't taken one back to the house, but he at least appears to be fully recovered based on his TD reception and his kickoff return to midfield. It's only a matter of time.
GREAT GAME! GO BEARS!!
