I fucking hate Joe Montana.....and Roger Craig.....and Jerry Rice too…

And that Elway guy was just a manifestation of the media.  He was all hype.  Totally nto buying it.

Uh.. Tom, Manning has a reputation for choking in big games.

Tom, if Cutler plays like crap this season I will hold him up to task for his play.

Tom, I never once said that Brees or Cutler are better then Manning and Brady.  However Brees is the third best QB in the league and that isnt just hype.  He has put up god awful numbers and his offense is always near the top.  I am sorry if the fact that he has been to the playoffs twice and my use of the word several bothers you.  But the fact that Brees has played with no defense should not be held agaisnt Brees.  He went to an awful team who had the second worst record in football.  He turned them around to the point that they are at least in the playoff hunt every year.  He is a fantastic QB. 

With regards to Cutler, I have always admitted that I have been wrong.  I was wrong on Beasley.  Ask Mad and El.  They still hold it over my head.  I was wrong on Benson.  If Cutler turns out to be a flop, I will hang my head and admit it.  I just dont know that you will do the same.  You say you will, but that doesnt seem to be in your nature because it hasnt happened yet.  I mean no offense by it, your a proud man.  Nothing wrong with that.

My apologies gang. A complete clusterfuck last night:

1. First my home Internet goes down. Fucking goddamn Comcast…

2. Had to go to the office to check on server. That fucking went down during the second quarter.

And now I’m at work.

Goddammit!

Yeah right. Your wife watched the first half with you and then told you it was bed time. Preseason game vs. quality time with wife. Admit it. You quit watching for some hanky-panky. 

Tyrone...Ed Hochuli probably beefed up on steroids so if he makes any more bad calls this season like he made last season he can fight off the players and coaches.

I’m happy with Cutler’s play.  He could have easily peed down his leg if he was the emotional weakling some would have us believe.  He kept his poise and put together a very nice series before the end of the half. 

The one thing that disturbed me this game was Orlando Pace’s resemblance to a revolving door.

I thought it was a pretty nice performance.  Cutler overcame boos and bad field position early to have a pretty good game.  He looked masterful on the 98-yard TD drive.  He looks like a QB that once he gets in his groove, is going to move the chains on you.  That 20+ yard strike on 3rd-and-1 was sweet and the kind of play the Bears simply wouldn’t run with Orton.

I’m not going to butt in on a perfectly good argument but Cutler looks way better than average at QB.  Way better.  I don’t know if that makes him any kind of savior, but I do believe that despite the lack of quality WR’s, the offense will be much better and more consistent this year with a top-10 QB.  He has enough guys to throw to, even if they don’t all line up at the WR position.

Pace had a rough game—Grossman or Orton would have been sacked several times because of him.  He’s got to play better.

The defense played pretty well.  Not great, they bent a lot but they didn’t break.  Tommie Harris—forget what he used to be, the real question is, is this guy even a quality NFL player anymore?  He looks 36, not 26.

The secondary didn’t get torched as bad as I’ve gotten used to seeing, but then again, they were facing Orton.

Actually she might love the Bears more than I do.

And she was fucking pissed that I had to crash the office.

We watch every game together.

As for the other..... later....

Ask me in week 8 what I think of Cutler. You can’t tell anything from pre-season games. It does look a lot better than what we had before, however.

Ed Hochuli is almost always rated one of the best refs in the spor year in and year out.  Making a bad call happens and he admitted to it.  Shouldnt take away from the rest of his work.

Agreed. He made a mistake. And owed up to it. I doubt anybody took that bad call harder than Ed Hochuli himself.

I’d just like to know why we’re putting so much stock into the pre-season. I’d didn’t see the game last night. I listened to the TV broadcast. The only thing I’m think is, so far, so good.

I am guessing many people here are disappointed with their baseball teams, so football is here.
