chrisprickett Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Tip of the hat to your Saints Brian! Yeah, I want them to lose next week, but besides my Iggles they're the team I'll be pulling for. This team is not your Daddy's "Ain'ts"!

Brian G Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Gotta love that Iggles-Cowboys game, eh Chris? T.O. showed his inner colors yet again, yelling at everyone but Parcels on the sidelines, whining about not getting the ball, and later throwing his QB under the bus ("Who's pulling the trigger?"). Seems like I've seen all of this somewhere before....oh yeah, at the 49er's and the Iggles, when he was there. He may not say it, but I bet Parcels would love to throw T.O.'s butt out on the sidewalk himself. He hates whiners. [:-gnasher I don't think my Saints can beat your Iggles, but the Steelers and the Ravens....just maybe. [:-clover] The Colts have to be the ugliest 5-0 team I've ever seen. [:-blindfo The Cardinals finally wised up and started a QB with a useable thumb on his throwing hand. [:-dunce] And in a non-football note, I'm so delighted that the Bankees got bounced in the first round that I'm adopting the Tigers for the rest of the MLB playoffs. That may be a small problem if my wife's Cardinals face them in the World Series, but I'm used to the abuse. [:-crazy] [-crzwom] Brian G.

Brian G Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Mr. Prickett, I propose a friendly wager sir. My Saints vs. your Iggles for a steak dinner next time we're both at IW (which will not be this next time in CA). No points, no nothin'...straight up. On? Brian G.

Brian G Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Well I guess I won't get to touch Chris up for the T-bone, but I'm tickled to death anyway. Another big win for the Saints, pulled out and salted away by a 8 1/2 minute drive in the bottom of the fourth quarter. It sure is nice to have a reliable, accurate QB. Brian G. Who Dat!? Who Dat!?

kurt Posted October 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Yeah, it looked like they were playing. The 4th quarter was impressive. Tomorrow night, it's da Bears looking for a romp. See you about this time tomorrow night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Woof. That stunk the joint up, but now it's 6-0. No predictions after that smellfest. Grossman better get his head back before he loses it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 That was rough. I'll take what I can get, though. Not enough wins in Chicago sports lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian G Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 That was one wild, wild game. I can't help feeling bad for Leinart and the Cards. It was a pretty great effort on their part, undone by a few big plays and a lousy kick. Two weeks in a row now Leinart has taken his team down for a last-second field goal (last week to tie, this week to win), only to have it missed and lose by a hair. Long-time Saints fans can relate. The Bears air of invenerability is gone in spite of the win, which may be good for them in the long run. They're gonna make the playoffs anyway unless they totally implode, so it's all going to be on what they do when they get there. The Saints are being praised and touted all over the place now. That worries me. Gotta stay humble, hungry, and focused. Brian G. Eyes on the Prize [:-bigeyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 "Air of invenerability"....... hmmmmm, I kind of like the sound of that. Sounds like a word Walter would make up. Yeah, I had to feel bad for Leinart; the guy's got the goods, & he's surrounded by seeming incompetence. When the big boy let 'em come unchecked from the right corner to hammer Leinart & cause the fumble, I had to wonder. Anyway, it's probably good for da Bears to have a stinker; humbling effect & all that is good this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fqp25 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Well, here we go again the Miami Dolphins have to once again defend their undefeated record against a Super Bowl Bound Chicago team. At least it's not on Monday night. (Like it matters anymore, I think the Bears broke the Monday Night Curse.) The Colts(7-0) are playing The Pats(6-1). I think after tonight there will only be one team which will reach 8-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian G Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Originally posted by kurt Bears ain't going anywhere special this year. Patriots proved that last night. Probably not, as long as the QB runs hot & cold like a faucet. I can't tell if Grossman is just green or occasionally suffers from game-long attacks of stubborn stupidity. You never know though, so much depends on being hot when the playoffs come around, and lots of things can still happen with injuries in 5 weeks. I wonder if the weak schedule isn't hurting the Bears already, and may not have them in playoff-sharp condition when the time comes. My boys don't have enough D, but they're hell with the O. Drew Brees has 5 consecutive 300 yard+ passing games and counting (including one over 500). He may well break the NFL record for consecutive 300 yarders and the single season passing total (currently held by Marino). Miami passed on him to go after Culpepper (pun intended)...I wonder if Saban would like a "do-over" on that one. [] We're 7 - 4 and winning the division, with only 5 left. Things will really start to narrow down fast in the next few weeks. Every game is critical unless you're the Bears or Colts. The wild card races are gonna be a frickin' log jam. Brian G.

Brian G Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I'd like to offer my hearty thanks to Brother Prickett's beloved Eagles for beating the Panthers and leaving the Saints with a 2 game lead in the division (with only 4 left).

kurt Posted December 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 We're in. More punt return yards than the offensive yards, and not one offensive touchdown, does not bode well for continued playoff glory. We're going to the show w/the Grossman though; it's a shaky alliance, but it's the one we got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fqp25 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Note to anybody not a Bear fan: Don't worry folks it's almost over. In less than a week Super Bowl XLI. The past week of media coverage has turned this into a Tony Dungy/Lovie Smith lovefest. So they use to coach together; who cares. Lets just play some football!!! I guess theres no Colts Fans here.

ozofprev Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Oh, I'm sure there are some Colts fans. Everybody pretty much roots for their home team. I live in Buffalo, so there's always next year. I'll be happy either way. I have a slight preference for Manning (Colts) because I grew up in New Orleans when his dad was a Saint. Good people.

kurt Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 You couldn't have convinced me 2 months ago that da Bears were gonna be in the Superbowl. We know who I want to win it. My "predictions".... Manning will have a stellar game, regardless; he knows this is his shot, and he's not someone to let it go. Grossman will not be that large a factor; all he has to do is make a few plays if they're presented, and not make stupid mistakes. He's done that, he can do it again. After that, it's even up money; I don't think the bookies have a clue giving it to Indy as large as they are. I'm really looking forward to this; my main hope is it's good game; there's nothing worse or more boring than lopsided football scores.

Brian G Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 For what it's worth, I think things are shaping up almost exactly the way the Bears would like, to have the best possible shot at winning this game (short of Manning being out with injury suffered in the off weeks). Nobody is picking them outside of Bears loyalists, the Colts and Manning are getting most of the attention, Grossman is still being discounted, and the defense is getting "yeah, but" lip service in the media. Now if one of the Colts would just shoot his mouth off about how the Bears have no shot.... Nah, it ain't gonna happen, but the Saints didn't do that either; the press did. I don't know if the Bears can pull this one off too, but the pre-game enviroment is ripe for an upset. Amen on the hope for a good game. Hell, make it a knock-down, drag-out, back-and-forth, holy-cow-did-you-see-that classic while you're at it. [:-party] Brian G. Kurt's Dream...

kurt Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 You could see it when he set up for his first pass; he has a look to his stance that yells tentative, and he had the look last night. Poor guy just can't read the field like his opponent; I'm not sure there's ever been a more stark comparison between quarterbacks than that the matchup last night. And that's the end of the story. Although, I'm still looking forward to the shrimp po'boy @ New Orleans..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
