ajzepp Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 This game is awesome....The Bears are exemplifying what a "real" football team should be like.....They are playing outdoors in cold weather, and they are knocking the Falcons all around the field. I would love to see TD get us a couple badass D linemen and find SOMEONE to instill some attitude in this team. Next year I hope to be talking about the Bills knocking around someone on a cold night at the Ralph. Go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing fancy, they only have a couple of different blitzes...they line up and just smack you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanone Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Good post. I'm enjoying the game too. The Bills have no identity whatsoever. On O or D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajzepp Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 I haven't seen many Bills games this year, but watching last night and comparing it to how the Bears look tonight, it's pretty clear that we're a bunch of pussies....scuse my French. My God....wasn't Roscoe afraid to come out of his damn apartment the first time it snowed? WTF is that all about? I heard that someone in the Bears front office was a potential GM candidate....I think maybe it's time we examine that option.....as much as I love TD, if he's not going to build us some dominant lines, then we need to find us someone who will.

Lovie should get Coach of the year for keeping his team's head above water with the kid QB. Did it with a dominating defense, sound special teams play, and an offense that didn't turn it over. Man, where did I hear this before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can play outdoors in Green Bay, then they can play outdoors ANYWHERE. We haven't had an advantage being a cold weather team for a while now.....that needs to change.

ajzepp Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 Lucky you. The Bills=yup you guessed it.........TD.. 536447[/snapback] lol.....well, in all honesty, I truly believe that if TD would focus on bringing us some tough, 'beat your ass' linemen, he can get the job done as well as anyone else. He's just not doing it for some reason.....I don't get it. Chicago focused on their D line and they're dominating this year.....we already have solid LBs and DBs...but Kelsay, Bannon, Anderson, et. al aren't cutting it. We need some difference makers.

PromoTheRobot Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Bears HC Lovie Smith...another guy we passed over for Mullarkey. And the Bears have a QB as green a JP Losman. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR 536453[/snapback] That's exactly how I expected our season to go.....I thought we'd play lights out defense, and JP would be able to be 'adequate' and we'd still win games. Chicago is getting it done and we've regressed. We need some Phil Hansens....Darryl Talleys.....Wil Wolfords.....guys like that. REAL football players.

Next year I hope to be talking about the Bills knocking around someone on a cold night at the Ralph. Go Bills! 536431[/snapback] What impresses me the most about the bears is that they are a TEAM in every sense of the word! When Grossman went down earlier in the year and they had to go with Orton, did you hear any of their wide receivers start whining? No. They understood the situation and pulled together. The defense knew there was going to be more pressure on them and they did not once complain. Of course it also helps that you have a real HC in Lovie Smith, a real OC in Ron Turner and a real DC in Ron Rivera who wouldn't put up with that crap. It would have been nice if TD could have gotten us players and coaches with a real positive football attitude. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened. I had been a TD supporter, but it's simply time for him to move on. The only way a new attitude gets instilled is from the top down and that won't happen with TD here.

And the reason the Bills have those players is because the GM and HC don't know how to evaluate character. For starters, let's stop drafting those warm weather pussies from Criminal U in South Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Good move. They looked a lot better with Grossman at QB. If he gets it going, they could be a scary team in the playoffs. 536497[/snapback] I'll wait and see what Grossman does once teams game plan for him. Lots of guys step in and play well for a half and then go through the normal growing pains that inexperience brings. While Grossman definitely has more "upside" than Orton I have the feeling he's going to make way more mistakes too. This switch might not be to the Bears advantage given that it's difficult as hell to drive the length of the field against that D. If Grossman starts giving opposing teams a short field to work with the Bears might find themselves losing more often even if their O starts putting up more points. In the long run Grossman is definitely the guy I'm just not so sure I'd be comfortable with him in there the rest of the way this year...and that's saying something because I think Orton is absolutely horrible.

nodnarb Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 the sad thing about the bears is, this is year 2 of their new system, under their new coach. These guys were just built yesterday. And this is a team that is truly mentally tough. donahoe promised a more mentally tough team under mularkey and the opposite happened. They have less than we have on offense, but as a TEAM they find a way to get it done. If mularkey is our coach again next year, I'd recommend following hockey more closely next fall.
