Thread: OK ... NOW do you take us seriosly? 30-24 @ Philly.

I take us as seriously as a wildcard 10-6 team.

This is the start of beating teams that you aren't really supposed to beat. Big win, congrats to the Bears for playing a great game; and yes it's easier to take them more seriously after beating a quality team at their home.

And I am officially on the Lovie Smith bandwagon; this guy does more w/less then any other coach; JA consistantly sticks him w/lemons and he finds a way to make lemonade. He's not the best in game coach; his challenges are awful, but the guy finds a way to win. Fire JA, and tell the next GM that his job is to give the coaching staff talent and he won't need to worry about a coach b/c if Lovie can find a way to get to the playoffs .500 w/the little amount of talent JA gave him; give him talent and he'll be there every year.

With Bennett all things are possible, dude was in BEAST MODE!! Gameball!

Yeah, I'm not about to give any credit to the coaching staff. I think this win was more about the players stepping up than anything else. Between Bennett making it known that HE is the #1 Receiver and Cutler improvising the **** out of those plays, it was the guys in the jerseys that won this game. Not Martz play-calling and (while I agree with having to do with less) not Smith making lemonade.

In a word ... NO ( not yet ).

I said it before the season started. Bennett is our #1 WR. Cutler wants him to be his main target and he trusts him. Need to resign Bennett - that's for sure

I'm with Blue Horse-Shoe on this one. There's still a lot of good games coming up. Some we should win, some we MUST WIN, and some we probably don't have much going.

Lions - MUST WIN (50/50)

Chargers - Should Win (chances look good)

Raiders - very "iffy" (their record is better then the Eagles)

Chiefs - Should Win (50/50)

Broncos - Should Win (chances look awesome)

Seahawks - "iffy" (I only say "iffy" because this is your typical Trap Game...you know - the one they "should win"....????)

Packers - MUST WIN (@ Lambeau ... ??? ~ chances not so good - but sure would be AWESOME!)

Vikings - MUST WIN (chances look great)

So, I'm figuring from this point forward 5 very potential wins. Maybe 7.

The biggest problem with the BEARS is that they are infamous for looking great one week...beating teams they shouldn't, and getting their asses handed to them the next.

So, until there's REAL C-O-N-S-I-S-T-A-N-C-Y ..... I'd have to say I'm still on the fence.


Let's face it .... The EAGLES aren't THAT good. They won 2 games .... so what. They beat the Cowboys? ... LOL!!!!
Going into that game, The Eagles were sitting at #16, and the Cowboys were at #21.

The BEARS were at #10.

So, they won a game they SHOULD have. That's all.

Let's see what happens Sunday against the Lions. :-)

(I can't even believe I'm saying that! ... how the hell did the Lions become a "Team To Beat" and Calibrate how good your team may be? .... WOW! ~ LOL!!!!!!)


GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .... :-)
