This just in... Grossmans play is being described as a liability...:rolleyes: .

[danny's stogie]

Pretty insightful thread so far.

Grossman is a turd. I hate any link to Spurrier.

There you go...now that's the kind of stuff I would pay ESPN Insider for.

Pretty insightful thread so far.


I'll go for 1000 Alex on "Redskin Manloves"

Answer: Jamp Lodder

Question: What are variations of Camp Fodder as it relates to Jesse Lumsden.


Here, I'll get us started:

It's going to be interesting watching how the Bears defend the receivers.
This is going to be an "airing out" type of game from Brees. I'm predicting a 55/45 type of game in favor of PASS.

depending on how the weather is. if the saints can run the ball, they'll likely stick with that.

[NCskinsfanatic]

I think the Bears D will come to play and it'll be close, special teams, D and that one big play may make the difference in the game but I think the saints win by 1-3 points.

[danny's stogie]

There you go...now that's the kind of stuff I would pay ESPN Insider for.

That probably would have been the most insightful and honest article on ESPN posted in the last 7 years.

[44FAN]

The forecast is snow, sleet and freezing rain thru out the afternoon. Does that nuetralize the Saints advantage at QB?

[rskinsfan10]

Helluva catch there.

[akhhorus]

The saints came with no fear of the Bears defense.

[FanFromArizona]

depending on how the weather is. if the saints can run the ball, they'll likely stick with that.

did I call the playcalling or what?

They are going to test the Bears defense through the air.

Grounds being wet will be tough for everyone.

[FanFromArizona]

The saints came with no fear of the Bears defense.


I don't think the Bears have an answer for all of the Saints' receivers.

[FanFromArizona]

Reggie STUFFED.

Here comes the GREATEST AIR GAME.

I'm thinking we're going to see Reggie Bush juke the nickleback (Manning Jr) for a TD today.

[akhhorus]

I don't think the Bears have an answer for all of the Saints' receivers.

They see something in their LBs, they're not attacking the CBs, but getting the LBs to guess wrong.

[hail2skins]

That could have been a disaster for the Saints.

[FanFromArizona]

this is going to be a good game. It would have been nice to see this game in better field conditions.

[FanFromArizona]

Oh! Almost intercepted.

Too bad Grossman can't throw the long ball.

[PyroGenic]

ooo... turnover 1 of 3 that the bears supposedly want. Colston is in trrooouuuuble x.x

[FanFromArizona]

what touch from Brees.

and man are the Bears defenders hitting and attacking the receivers.

[PyroGenic]

what touch from Brees.

and man are the Bears defenders hitting and attacking the receivers.

I dunno why you're gonna challenge their linebackers, every hit looks like they wanna make the highlight reel.

[PyroGenic]

if benson would have waited for the pulling guard, that would have been atleast a first down. He still plays with little patience.

[ryflan47]

Grossman looks terrible. Wait, so the Bears will go for it once but not twice? Makes no sense.

[chrisbcbu]

wow. That playcalling sux. You have a crappy QB. Its 1st and goal on the 3 and you run the ball 1 time.

[LATrueRedskin]

Man, the field is terrible. Nobody can even walk on that grass.

[LATrueRedskin]

Why are the Bears passing so much?

[akhhorus]

The refs are terrible today. That clearly wasn't a fumble, they aren't calling the bears for any of the blatent holds today. Wow.

[LATrueRedskin]

The refs are terrible today. That clearly wasn't a fumble, they aren't calling the bears for any of the blatent holds today. Wow.

Yeah really. They should have called him down in the first place, and checked to see if there was any convincing evidence to say it was a fumble.

[44FAN]

The refs are terrible today. That clearly wasn't a fumble, they aren't calling the bears for any of the blatent holds today. Wow.
I agree. He was Waaaay down before that ball started to come out. I hope the Saints TCB and leave the refs outta this.

[chrisbcbu]

Is it me or is this game being handed to the Bears? Seems like everything is going their way. Well except for grossman. I think he plays for the Saints.

[LATrueRedskin]

Wow another bad call by the refs for offensive PI. I'm surprised they didn't call that last play a fumble.

[44FAN]

wow are the refs hosing the Saints or what?

[redskin_rich]

I thought the fix was supposed to be for the Saints. :rolleyes:

[PyroGenic]

i wouldnt mind that the bears are winning so much if there weren't so BS calls. Makes it weird to watch.

[hail2skins]

I don't know how the back judge can throw that flag when the defender is blocking him from view of the receiver. Not overturning the fumble was just bad.

[44FAN]

Just waiting for Grossman to do something stupid. Believe me, it's coming. :D

[hail2skins]

The Saints need to get some points on the board. At this point I'd tell my receivers if you catch the ball in traffic, to go down. Much like the Rams receivers do.

[chrisbcbu]

Is Thomas Jones injured or something? They are giving the ball alot to Benson. And he isnt doing very well with it either.

[bgforever]

i wouldnt mind that the bears are winning so much if there weren't so BS calls. Makes it weird to watch.

I agree. I picked the Bears to win, but I am miffed at what the refs did. Lets hope that has cooled now.

[PyroGenic]

so why did the bears draft benson again? :rolleyes:

[chrisbcbu]

I dont know why they had Jones on the bench.

[PyroGenic]

I dont know why they had Jones on the bench.

to keep it fair.

[chrisbcbu]

Hey look. Just give the ball to Jones and he will do all the work. Dont let Grossman lose the game for the bears.

[PyroGenic]

Hey look. Just give the ball to Jones and he will do all the work. Dont let Grossman lose the game for the bears.

The most I'd let Grossman get involved would be those spastic high fives he keeps on giving his linemen.

[bgforever]

Bears LB were fingertips away from creaming Brees twice and tipping the ball in that NO TD drive. I look for an improvement on that in the second half.

[PyroGenic]

they're definitely getting close to brees. Hopefully they're getting disheartened by not getting there in time :)

[PyroGenic]

what in the world is grossman doing...

walking off the field and chucks it into the stands in consecutive plays lol

[Biggie]

Outside of the Redskins, the Saints are my favorite team this year. Brees and Colston led me to a fantasy championship, and I think they deserve one of their own now. :)

[bgforever]

:lol1: That guy is the ONE guy that can tank the Bears!!!!

Its so sad to see him on such a huge winning team and be inrept in all phases of your game. He gets my DUH award. Earlier in the game, the Change of Qtrs spared his inept "ability to manage the clock", he is making throws behind receivers, he's doing a tad to tip the run, and is awful at seeing OPEN receivers. Surely Lovie has a prop or tackling dummy available for the second half.

[Biggie]

I'm waiting for Grossman to throw a pick returned for a touchdown.

[FanFromArizona]

I don't think Lovie is going to let Rex lose the game for him. This is going to a run-first/defense-led/play conservative/take the points and run the clock down type of game from the Bears.

This game is being placed by Lovie in the hands of the Bears defense at this point.

[RedskinRyan]

what happened on that fumbled KO return? been on the phone for part of the first half. lewis was clearly down before he fumbled, but then somehow the bears had the ball? was it challeneged and the refs seriously blew the call?

[bgforever]

Yeah, I saw the halftime remarks from TB and he said the same thing, which I felt when I picked the Bears. Its the only way they can win. Grossman has been a liability for weeks.

[bgforever]

Grossman's had time to throw but waits too long to finally notice the open receiver. He FLOATED that last pass like an idiot, allowing the defender to get close to his receiver to cause the trip.

[akhhorus]

The ball slipped a bit, Lewis regained control, then he was CLEARLY down. His whole body was down, and the bears punched it out. Clear angles on it all and they still didn't reverse it.

[PyroGenic]

HOLY CRAP, woo reggie!

[rskinsfan10]

He is simply amazing!

[akhhorus]

Jesus In Cleats Strikes!

[bgforever]

AGGGGH! darnitt Bush scores. Crap!

But he taunted the defense. Gonna' pay for that.

[chrisbcbu]

Thats why Reggie should have been the #1 pick.

[hail2skins]

That was a beautifully designed play.

[fent]

AGGGGH! darnitt Bush scores. Crap!

But he taunted the defense. Gonna' pay for that.

i doubt it...the saints have realized that this team is susceptible to the pass and Payton will make sure that continues.

[hail2skins]

I want the Saints to win because if they win the SB, they'll still be celebrating when I get there

Surely Lovie has a prop or tackling dummy available for the second half.

the thing i notice the most about him is that he locks onto his primary receiver. his eyes never move from the receiver unless he has to move around, that's when he looks for something else.

[rskinsfan10]

Thats why Reggie should have been the #1 pick.Clearly Charley Casserly did the right thing in taking Williams. What are you talking about Chris????

[bgforever]

Yep - He SUCKS!

[PyroGenic]

bears need to start running again if they want to win.

[chrisbcbu]

Clearly Charley Casserly did the right thing in taking Williams. What are you talking about Chris????

Sure he did! ;)

[hail2skins]

Bush is a good player but on punt returns he just scares me. He loses too many yards trying to make something happen. Get up the field and take what you can get.

[fent]

Bush is a good player but on punt returns he just scares me. He loses too many yards trying to make something happen. Get up the field and take what you can get.

yeah...that's the one area of the game that he still thinks he can play like he's in college.

[bgforever]

i doubt it...the saints have realized that this team is susceptible to the pass and Payton will make sure that continues.

Not really, the replay showed the corner looked back at the last second and ran at a wrong angle. He's capable of stopping that play any other time. The Safety overran and allowed Bush to cutback. Both are correctable next time around.

I won't take away the magnificent run though.

[LATrueRedskin]

That Bush run had to demoralize the Bears defense. Let's get a healthy dose of Deuce this drive.

[LATrueRedskin]

Sean Payton is in his rhythm right now playcalling-wise. He's starting to pick the Bears apart no matter what they do.

[bgforever]

Okm so you say, but the Bears are going to get one of those picks sooner than later :)

[chrisbcbu]

I take it you are rooting for the Bears?

[bgforever]

Sure, all this time I been saying it on this thread and another. :)

[akhhorus]

Okm so you say, but the Bears are going to get one of those picks sooner than later :)

huh? There's only been one or two tipped balls, not like they've tipped 10 or so.

[bgforever]

I take it you are rooting for the Bears?


Sure, all this time I been saying it on this thread and another. :)

I took them cause the count was so low on picks,b u t felt the Bears D was going to regroup before this game. Grosssman makes them look avg

[chrisbcbu]

I actually thought they were going to go for it on 4th down. The way the field is i didnt think they had a shot at making a FG from that range.

[akhhorus]

Clearly Charley Casserly did the right thing in taking Williams. What are you talking about Chris????

I like to think that Williams was watching this game until that play LMAO.

[bgforever]

huh? There's only been one or two tipped balls, not like they've tipped 10 or so.

Aw come on man, its a Championship game and besides, its NOT just tip balls I mentioned. Stop trying to make me look like I am exaggearating, gd!

So long yall/ Getting stupid here already.

Can't make a comment without trying to make somebody look like something they aint. SOS!

[PyroGenic]

the chicago fans look pleased lol

i'm talking the passing game. the saints have had a ton of success in the air. 264 yards through the air and 8.3 average per pass...the bears are weak against the pass.

[LATrueRedskin]

Wow, Grossman is not helping the Bears efforts, yet Lovie continues to go with the pass. This after Thomas Jones ran all over the Saints. Bang up job, Lovie.

[fent]

Aw come on man, its a Championship game and besides, its NOT just tip balls I mentioned. Stop trying to make me look like I am exaggearating, gd!

NO not all. Just that he deflated what I was saying by making a statement to lean toward it being an exaggeration.

Two tipped balls in a Championship game is like 5!


Also there's nothing wrong with me.

Joint got a click it in for certain people to make statements and not be accountable for them. No reason for him to even go that route and I woudn't have responded that way.

I am a Redskins fan and just picked a team he didn't and or whatever, so his juices got him doing what he does best. Running intereference. Sick of it and bye.

[chrisbcbu]

hmm. Didnt see the intentional grounding. Was it a good call?

[bgforever]

What are you talking about?


You the brain, you know it all, you figure it out. You know full well HOW you meant that reply on the tip. I simply said the Bears had opps to get more of those and you attempted to make it look like I was exaggerating.

In fact you sit on that pedastal often with lofty ignorant arrogance and you can have it.

Have fun

[LATrueRedskin]

hmm. Didnt see the intentional grounding. Was it a good call?

Yeah it was, though it looked to me like the ball slipped out of his hand. It was a wounded duck all the way to the ground.

[FanFromArizona]

wow. I think the Saints are focusing their defensive efforts in stopping the run. Gonna make the Bears pass.

That was an interesting punt. It could have very easily been inside the 5 on that one.

[fent]

or...you completely over reacted. you don't increase the value of a tipped ball because it's a championship game. the bears have had a couple chances to get an INT, but not more than the saints, who, considering the opposing QB are more likely to pick one off than the bears. maybe because it's Akh you overreacted?

[fent]

You the brain, you know it all, you figure it out. You know full well HOW you meant that reply on the tip. I simply said the Bears had opps to get more of those and you attempted to make it look like I was exaggerating.

calm the heck down man.

[PyroGenic]

Yeah I guess, refs are being picky.

[rskinsfan10]

Yeah it was, though it looked to me like the ball slipped out of his hand. It was a wounded duck all the way to the ground.Yeah, I was thinking that it slipped as well, but I guess they don't have the luxury of reviewing that before they make that call.

[FanFromArizona]

Wow, the momentum is swinging towards the Saints.

[fent]

Wow, the momentum is swinging towards the Saints.

with that snow/wind, it's going to take more than big Mo to get them through.

[hail2skins]

Can't make a comment without trying to make somebody look like something they aint. SOS!What's up with you lately? You go off the handle pretty fast. He just said there were only 2 tipped balls, why get bent over that.

Oh, sorry you feel that way. I only asked because you seemed kind of touchie all of a sudden.

[PyroGenic]

Wow, the momentum is swinging towards the Saints.

I dunno, I'm not sure how much longer their blocking schemes can hold off the bears from brees.

I repeat my previous post. What in my response to your post about the Bears getting picks deserves you going Postal here?

[chrisbcbu]

Looks like the Bears are actually getting a small drive going. They need some points to hold off the saints.

[LATrueRedskin]

What a terrible move by Fred Thomas. I don't know what he was doing there.

[PyroGenic]

I repeat my previous post. What in my response to your post about the Bears getting picks deserves you going Postal here?


He's gone



WOW !! O.O

that was a santana moss roll in for a TD. Bears just might actually make it through!

[fent]

not touched on the way down?

and not OPI?

edit: nm...pretty slight.

[chrisbcbu]

If Grossman played like that all the time the Bears would be almost unstoppable.

[PyroGenic]

What a terrible move by Fred Thomas. I don't know what he was doing there.

I wonder if the saints will try to get Nate Clements or something. Oh, almost forgot, their owner is cheap. Anyway, that guy sucks.

[FanFromArizona]

not touched on the way down?

and not OPI?

edit: nm...pretty slight.

yeah, that looked like a OPI to me: bigtime pushoff.

[akhhorus]

yeah, that looked like a OPI to me: bigtime pushoff.

Funny that no penalties have been called on the bears today hmmm.

[FanFromArizona]

I wonder if the saints will try to get Nate Clements or something. Oh, almost forgot, their owner is cheap. Anyway, that guy sucks.

Thomas is his name.

Saints are going to need to address this problem in the offseason.

[LATrueRedskin]

I wonder if the saints will try to get Nate Clements or something. Oh, almost forgot, their owner is cheap. Anyway, that guy sucks.

Yeah they're staying away from McKenzie and working almost soley on Fred Thomas.

[PyroGenic]

how is that a fumble? you can rip the ball out of somebody's arms when they're already down?

[LATrueRedskin]

If they give this to the Bears, it'll be a complete joke.

[PyroGenic]

If they give this to the Bears, it'll be a complete joke.


I think the refs are scared to piss off the fans of the home teams in the playoffs. The home team always gets crazy (non)calls.

[PyroGenic]

Joe Buck is a tool.

[fent]

Joe Buck is a tool.

turn him off and turn up the iPod! that's what i do at least.

[NCskinsfanatic]

The Bears are the better team today, if it were in the dome it would probably come out different. The Saints have had chances but the Bear D has been lights out!

[chrisbcbu]

they ruled that a fumble?

[PyroGenic]

they ruled that a fumble?


I guess

I thought brees was down..?

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

ugh....i dont mind the bears getting to the SB, but i really wanted the saints to make it. now if the bears hold, we cant have the pats win because SB XLI will be one of the worst super bowls ever.

[chrisbcbu]

Edit: Apparently i cant add. I forgot about the safety that the Bears got. mb

[PyroGenic]

ugh....i dont mind the bears getting to the SB, but i really wanted the saints to make it. now if the bears hold, we cant have the pats win because SB XLI will be one of the worst super bowls ever.

it'll probably be the least interesting superbowl in a while.

[LATrueRedskin]

ugh....i dont mind the bears getting to the SB, but i really wanted the saints to make it. now if the bears hold, we cant have the pats win because SB XLI will be one of the worst super bowls ever.

Yeah, seriously. I'd like to see the Colts win because it'll make the Super Bowl something worth watching. This coming game (Colts vs. Pats) will probably be better than the Super Bowl.

[PyroGenic]

Well the Saints still have time. but they are going to need 2 tds and both 2 point conversions.


Yeah but I don't think they play well in desperation mode. Yay 10 minutes left in a game that's already over :rolleyes:

I'm willing to eat crow on this btw lol

[LATrueRedskin]

Yeah but I don't think they play well in desperation mode. Yay 10 minutes left in a game that's already over :rolleyes:

Yeah, seriously. I'd like to see the Colts win because it'll make the Super Bowl something worth watching. This coming game (Colts vs. Pats) will probably be better than the Super Bowl.
i think so to. i wanted the colts or saints to win it all, now its colts all the way for me......

[FanFromArizona]

i think so to. i wanted the colts or saints to win it all, now its colts all the way for me......

the big question mark is which colts defense comes to play.

anybody else see the irony in this statement? adewale ogunleye accuses bush of having no class.

http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/cs-070121bushbrite,1,4246304.story?coll=cs-bears-headlines

' "I told Reggie that was unprofessional of him to do that." Ogunleye said. "I think he's going to be a hell of a player in this league. But for him to point back and taunt, that was no class. … I swear, I was a second away from punching him." '

so who has no class?
