ok thanks. Didn't know
You and half of the broadcasting community. At least they brought it up in last nights game. Two weeks ago against the Vikings, the broadcasting crew basically made fun of him for wearing shades in the Metrodome. I'm pretty sure that's why they brought it up last night right away. I love the lack of research done before games by the media.

Seriously I didn't know that either until I read about it in the Ft. Lauderdale Sun Sentinel after the Vikings game.

DB: yes. Kinda similar to Cris Collinsworth (who i do like) last night referring to Braylon Edwards being with Stallworth when he mowed that person over. He really should've been corrected

250 Yards passing and 3 TD's, 0 Int's. If that's "struggling", I hope he keeps struggling.
No one is arguing Sanchez's numbers, in fact I am one of his supporters, the guy that I was referring as struggling was Allen.

I thought he said that he was with him that night...partying. Which was true wasn't it? I've heard that multiple times. Sure, he wasn't in the car, but he was with him, drinking wasn't he?

yes. Edwards was in the bar. However, the statement Collinsworth made was misleading. Big difference between drinking in a bar and then checking in the hotel on the premises, versus being in the same car responsible for vehicular homicide. In this case at least, Edwards took the right action
This game could go either way, although it's hard to see the Bears winning a game without being able to actually block. In any event, I already have a new Bears-Packers memory to add to the data bank: Watching Frank Omiyale repeatedly gape stupidly as a one-armed DT runs by him like he was a traffic cone instead of a person paid to put his body between defenders and the QB. Two sacks on the same drive where the Packers only rushed 3...and not coverage sacks.
That is some historically awful OL play.

Man, that Packers team is 100 different kind of stupid. I'll take it though!
Kudos to Martz for once again finding a way to win a game in the second half with no OL. I'd never want that guy for a HC, but he can coordinate himself some offense.

The Packers are indeed morons. Gratz to them on their record breaking performance...Still even with all those penalties I cant believe they lost THAT game.
Martz iz definately a brilliant offensive mind who I found offensive as a head coach. Three straight 500 point seasons with the Rams 99-01 when it only been done, I think, 11 or 12 times in the leagues history does say something for his abilty.
Main differences between this years Bears and last seasons and why they are sucking me in to root for them.
1. They make adjustment something woefully lacking in the past. Maybe that's due to Martz or any number of ex head coaches they brought it but it's refreshing to know that after halftime the Bears are going to try and adjust.
2. They hold players accountable. Tommy Harris not dressed is good, frankly guy should of been gone long ago with his work ethic. But last night after Bowman missed yet another tackle I said out loud "Get him out of there" and you know what, they did and his replacement played a pretty decent game making some good tackles. Even the one he missed, he got up and pursued and recovered the fumble. That's what I'm looking for, effort.
3. They take chances. Sure going for it on 4th down is going to be questioned again, but for years I was sick of the play it safe Bears. they aren't playing it safe so far this season, when they recovered that fumble I expected run. run, play action. Nope these Bears emptied the backfield and thanks to the meat head, cheese heads got some breaks.
The continue to do these things then win or lose, it's going to be really easy to root for them.

I agree with Dan. The big problem with the 2009 Bears was a lack of fire and little accountability. Not the case this year, even though they have most of the same talent issues they had last year. Some other things I have liked:
--Run defense really looks solid. They are attacking rushers like they haven't done in years.
--They are not wedded to the "Bears football" mentality on offense. Martz knows they can't run as well as they can pass, so he's making playcalls that play into the (few) stengths his offense has.
--Johnny Knox is turning into a solid #2 receiver. They still need a legit #1, but Knox looks pretty darn good, especially for a second-year, mid-round pick from a small school.
It'll be interesting to see how they handle the next five games, all against teams they should be able to beat.
Yeah, LA doesn't need another team. We've got much better stuff to blow our 400 dollars worth of ticket money on...like botox, the latest beemer or granite countertops in our 900sq. foot, 800K home.
Anyone taking in a game today? Going to ATL in a little while. Falcons favored by 7. A lot of the folks that make a living on this sort of thing are picking the Niners as the sexy pick of the week. Trap game for the Falcons and revenge factor from last year.
I can buy into the trap game theory; last week was a very emotional win. The Falcons have played great in the Dome under Smith, so I think that the trap game thing will play out. Pundits are also saying that the Niners are looking for revenge after last year's throttling at home. Not sure I buy into that one either; Niners have too many issues to worry about last year.
I do think the the Niners are better than their record indicates. Hopefully not better enough to take out ATL.

I hope you're kidding about the 900sq ft, 800k house. Wouldn't surprise me if it's still true lol.

Go Falcons!
After a Ram victory, not many things in the NFL make me happier than a Niner loss. Yes indeed. Go Falcons!
I know its only 7-0 but god damn its another week and another lead...I like this seasons new trend of actually scoring TDs and doing it while the game is still competetive
