It's like Drew Brees said in the postgame - "it's not like we were on the 25 yard line and it was a true test of a FG. If that was the case, we would have run more plays to get it closer. But we were on the 10 yard line, and we expect to make that FG every time. If we DO run more plays from the 10, someone could get hurt, we might cough up the ball, and then we'd be getting ripped for not kicking the FG. So hindsight is 20/20."

I think Chicago can actually win this game, but i'd never put money on it.

I'm too scared to put money on it and jinx it. Maybe I should bet on Green Bay, then I'm happy no matter what happens.

**fundonny** · 09-28-2010 06:53 AM

Hahahaha i've done that a few times too!

I love the Bears, and I couldn't be happier about their start to the season, but I'll be happy if they are a wildcard playoff team. They have just caught too many breaks and calls on a fairly weak 3 game schedule for them to be considered a contender at this point. Please prove me wrong Bears!

**fundonny** · 09-29-2010 05:20 PM

3-0 team is a 3 point underdog.

**nokids** · 09-29-2010 09:02 PM

I just looked at the Bears' schedule and there are some tissue soft teams remaining on their schedule. They could get 10 wins if they beat who they're supposed to beat.

**mpare** · 09-30-2010 07:49 AM

I agree with you that hindsight is 20-20, but I was complaining to a friend of mine about this play when it was called. In any event, none of us get to make the calls. We can certainly opine about them from the cheap seats. On a more general note, though, you read me correctly. I am not a fan of overly conservative football. That said, I prefer a balanced offence over one that is uni-dimensional. On the other hand, I would prefer to see a team fail gloriously than to win playing scared. But that's just me.

Nate Clements, COME ON MAN!

**fundonny** · 10-03-2010 05:25 PM

A little late, aren't you? GO FALCONS!!!!!!!!!!!

Could be my worst fantasy day ever. Vick, hurt. McCoy, just got hurt. WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

**nokids** · 10-03-2010 05:32 PM

Just saw the highlights, what a moron, double face palm doesn't even begin to describe that play. he thinks he's Deion Sanders, he isnt!

**nokids** · 10-03-2010 08:32 PM

Giants will bounce back from that ugly game they played last week. Bears will get first "L" tonight.

**nokids** · 10-04-2010 08:21 AM

So the Bears lose their #1, and #2 QB's to "injuries"...... hmmm... I don't blame these guys for faking being hurt. Who wants to risk their career playing behind that offensive line?

**Chambokl** · 10-04-2010 12:41 PM

This week-end could have been an absolute carnage in survivor pools... Green Bay, New Orleans and Atlanta were all lucky to end up winning. Tennessee and Indy did lost...

PS: I had NO in all of my survivors....

**nokids** · 10-04-2010 08:49 PM

Both teams score in the 40's, and I think Fins win by 3 pts. Both defenses are pop warner.

**nokids** · 10-04-2010 09:45 PM

Anytime Ron Jawarski hypes up a player, that player has a horrible game. Thanks for jinxing Chad Henne.

**mpare** · 10-05-2010 06:27 AM

It would appear that the Patriots solved their inability to score in the second half!

**fundonny** · 10-05-2010 06:37 AM

Two offensive TD's Mike. Not great.

**mpare** · 10-05-2010 06:54 AM

Those 41 points didn't come out of thin air. I thought that scoring was a team effort and not limited to the offence. What a dummy I am!

Special teams are somewhat 'fluke's scores. When I do my stats for handicapping and all I disregard them. Miami played terribly. New England's defense didn't change overnight.

**mpare** · 10-05-2010 07:22 AM

On this we will not agree. In any event they put up 41 point. That's a lot of flukes in one night.

Bears have to be the exception to that rule Donny.

**fundonny** · 10-05-2010 03:53 PM

Bears with Hester, Chiefs back with Dante Hall, Cleveland with Cribbs, only special special players make me adjust my lines. Brandon Tate on the verge.

**Chambokl** · 10-05-2010 04:07 PM

Well I guess the special teams for the Dolphins were awful because they fired their special team coach today...

Rumor is that Randy Moss will be traded to his original team... the Minnesota Vikings...

**mpare** · 10-06-2010 05:09 AM

I hope the trade goes through. It would be good for the Pats and for Moss.

I was going to say on Monday night that Moss was not worth NE resigning. Looks like NE agrees with me.
