[Master of Past and Present]

Falcons resorting to out-and-out cheating now

Wow, advantage down to 18 and the Bears are so scared they start cheating.

 

[flapgreen]

Martz doing what Martz does and continuing to throw the ball with a huge lead. Guy is never going to change.

 

[TylerRoseFan]

Time to pound it home.

That's what she said.

tehee..

 

[Sudoku_in_the_Bathtub]

Bears manhandling Falcons up front.

 

[McJose]

Melton is a monster.

 

[McJose]

Come on, enough with the holding.

 

[flapgreen]

Webb being Webb too. He sucks big balls.

 

[flapgreen]

Why can't Martz just run the ball now? Damn you!!!

Martz passing again. Keeps stopping the clock.

 

[Manster]

this game has me saying WTF???

 

[hugebearsfansinceforever]

Sloppy series by the Bears O who are looking fatigued.

 

[Sudoku_in_the_Bathtub]

Julio is going to be hell on that turf.

Jesus that guy has burners.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Yipee, time for garbage time stat padding!

 

[McJose]

Martz passing again. Keeps stopping the clock.

He's "outthinking" the Falcons."Running the ball here is what is expected. But they know my rep and that I like to pass instead of running down the clock. So they think that I'm going to do what is unexpect and run the ball. But I'm going to pull the old switcheroo and pass it. Mike E. Martz....soooooper genius."

Julio is going to be hell on that turf. Jesus that guy has burners.

I wasn't sure he would be worth the picks the Falcons move up for him, but after this game I'm convinced he's a stud.

 

[Sudoku_in_the_Bathtub]

Get Ryan off the field. He's going to get killed out there.

Find it amusing they keep commenting on the lack of deep throwing by the Falcons today. Have they not been watching the time Ryan has to get rid of it??

 

[hugebearsfansinceforever]

Holy cow. The Bears front 4 'Malachi Crunch' Ryan.

 

[McJose]

PINKY! NOOOOOO!

 

[hugebearsfansinceforever]

Good game, Dirty Birds. See you in the playoffs.

 

[RBM]

Falcons supposed to be a big time team no?

Bears supposed to take a step back this year no?

 

[urbanhack]

that was a ####### dumb play

 

[Master of Past and Present]

What a sickning feeling. Phily always seem to have Atlanta's number and then it is off to Tampa Bay. 0-3 start is very likely.

 

[Staley Da Bear]

:confetti:

Cutler passing?

Good luck to the Bears next week, I hope they can get the Saints to 0-2.

Wow, didn't realize Vick was coming 'home' next week.Imagine this will be the talk all week

 

[Walton Goggins]

Had ATL defense this week..nice

Just like the pre season college football polls are meaningless, all that sort of speculation means nothing. What I seen on the field today speaks more than people's speculation and predictions.

 

[destro]

Bears supposed to take a step back this year no?

I don't know why anyone thinks this. My only guess is that some people bought hard into the "lucky" angle last year and assumed that a regression must follow. The thing is, they got better in the offseason. Unless they have a slew of injuries, they will perform better than last year.

 

[Green94]

Bears O line (Webb/Carimi) were not very good today... on the flip side the DLine was flat out scary.

Great opening day win... made Matty Ice look pedestrian.

Cutler looked a lot better. Not spectacular but much better. Made smarter plays etc. Spread the ball around well. Connected with 8 different receivers.Roy W. actually contributed despite his piss-poor preseason.The O-line looked OK. Gave up some sacks but also gave decent protection more often than not. Forte accounted for 150 or so yards of total offense. Bell even had a couple of good runs (one called back). Interested to see what happens when Barber comes back. The defense "bent" a little too much. Gave up too many yards. But they, in typical Bear D fashion, made some big plays/stops/turnovers. D-line looked damn good esp Melton and Peppers. Urlacher just keeps making plays.All in all a nice win against a team with some serious talent at least on the offensive side of the ball.

 

[RBM]

Im so pleased with Cutler's mechanics today. Stepped up in the pocket and set himself before throwing....planted his back foot when he had time and was throwing lasers out there.

Very encouraging win today.

Jay "Laser Show" Cutler

NFC North looking like it may be the toughest division in the NFC, if not the NFL.
