—-You’d be fired after 6 games. What you write makes sense on the surface, but it’s flawed. Listening to former Eagles player Hugh Douglas yesterday, he mentioned that exact scenario. The problem with it is that when you drop back and play zone (or some variant), you have to stay in coverage. That means Vick can pick up 10-20 yards before you get to him.

I am an Eagles fan, so take this for what it’s worth, but NO ONE has yet figured out how to stop him. The Eagles have won every game he’s played the whole game, and nearly won the opener when he came in during the second half (not to mention a close loss on the first Redskins game).

Honestly, the best the Giants can hope for is him having a bad game. I would say “hope for him to get injured,” but that’s a problem too….because you have to face Kevin Kolb, who’s a damn fine QB, just not Mike Vick.

JAX is down their top WR and sack leader which tips the bal to cle. McCoy will have all day to pass against one of the worst pass Ds.

atl=STL so with hfa STL could win outright.

MIN should have won in gb except for a miscall and Favre having many Favre moments. gb really miss TE Finlay and RB Grant. MIN have all their WR and CB back and healthy, better run game and could win outright.

I like the Pats to run the ball inside the 20 to score touchdowns while their defense does enough to hold the Colts to field goals while enjoying the home field advantage.

With the idea of never being too comfortable about what you think you know about the NFL this year – I’m leaning toward picking the Giants.

It will all come down to how well the Raider QB and O line play. I think the Raiders will not only be able to run the ball I think they will stun the NFL on how easy they run the ball.

This game is not even close, Raiders win and send the Steelers into a Tailspin just as they did last year. Last year Raiders were lucky to win, this year they are just to physical for the Steelers.

At Least the ESPN guys give the bears a tiny bit of credit.
NOONE has scored 24 pts on bears all year, but a banged up, 3rd string QB starting team would… genius.

One Question? What happens next week after you pick Vick and Eagles to Dismantle the Bears in Soldier Field, and if (prob a big IF but,..) Bears can pull off an upset, Florio… are you gonna be tempted to jump on the bandwagon…. ????? I think you will, I dont see you as a stand up kinda guy, i think we will get what we’ve been getting every week from you… EXCUSES for your bone headed picks. Keep eatin those words, god knows you could put a few pounds on that clay aiken frame of yours.

Bear Down!

There’s more involved than just “the Bears have a tough road ahead”–it’s not as tough as it might be on the surface, for the reasons I mentioned.

And more importantly, the Bears are better than you or anyone else thinks.

3. Yes, they face tougher opponents ahead–but they face all of them IN SOLDIER FIELD (Eagles, Pats, Jets).
This includes that Soldier Field x-factor of the weather…wind, rain, cold, wet sloppy grass surface. That can make for a great equalizer/advantage Bears.

4. The remaining 3 divisional games–they’ve already proven they can beat all 3 of those teams, the venue isn’t THAT big of a factor.

So playing at “SOLDIER FIELD” is a huge advantage for the Bears, but there is no advantage to the teams that are playing in their venue???? That doesnt even make sense. Plus, the Pats, Jets, and Eagles all play in the north east, out doors. In the cold, in the rain, in the snow, in the wind (not Chicago wind, I will concede that), but you arent talking about the Falcons, Colts, and Dolphins, lol. I am not going to go so far as to say that the 3 teams you mentioned are or arent going to beat Chicago, I dont care, but your reason behind why the Bears will win, is questionable at best, and borderline stupid.

1. The Bears only play who is put in front of them–they have no control over that.

2. Stats, like scripture, can be quoted to suit the Devil’s purpose. And for all the low offensive rankings, the defensive ranks counterbalance it.

3. Yes, they face tougher opponents ahead–but they face all of them IN SOLDIER FIELD (Eagles, Pats, Jets).

4. The remaining 3 divisional games–they’ve already proven they can beat all 3 of those teams, the venue isn’t THAT big of a factor.

5. Spare me the woulda coulda should sheeit on the Lions game. It was week one–and how many other teams have benefitted from calls/non-calls gone wrong this year. And that doesn’t change how well the Bears are playing NOW.

6. Which reminds me–this team is getting hot at the right time: it’s two best games have been the last two. O-line is finally getting stabilized, sacks are decreasing, Martz and co. are finding balance.

7. Finally, and the most IMPORTANT point–everyone, and I mean EVERYONE (even some Bears fans) wouldn’t give the Bears higher than 3rd place in the division during pre-season predictions. In fact, some of you dill-slappers even said the Lions would leapfrog them and Bears would finish dead last.

Yet here we are–Week 11–and if the season ended/playoffs happened today, Bears win the
division.

You were all SO wrong then–what makes you think you’re all SO right now?

Each year, a team comes “out of nowhere” to make a run into/through the playoffs–the Cardinals, the Giants, the Jets, to name a few recent ones.

Why not the Bears? Open your eyes. Excellent Defense & Special Teams, competent (and improving) offense means the Bears can play with, and even beat, ANYONE.

Your 3 divisonal wins all came at home, and the Detroit one should have been a loss.

The rest of the way, you face teams with a combined record of 35-27, and you face all of your divisional rivals in their house this time.

You rank near the bottom in nearly every offensive category, and your defense is only ranked as high as it is because of the opposition you have been facing.

Sorry, but you are not making the playoffs.

Why don’t you save us all some time, and just go right ahead and flatly, categorically pick against them for the remainder of the schedule.

Why is it so hard for sports “journalists” toadmit they were so damn wrong?

Are you that proud, that stubborn, that weak in the ego-department, or all the 3?

Did an actual Bear maul one of your family members? Did you get caught in a back alley in Chicago and some street thugs forced you to smile like a donut?

Did Lovie Smith go all “Wayne Brady” on you one night?

I don’t get it–why the persistent disregard and disrepect?

Oh well, you two are the ones who continue to prove you “are not as good as your record suggests”, not the Bears.

Just do me one favor and promise this much: when truth and reality finally smack you in the nads hard enough to snap you out of your stubborn, drooling delusion, stay off our bandwagon.

Skol Vikings!!”

Lots of hypothermia happens in a climate controlled dome.

Yea, did you think that up in Madden? I mean are the Giants playing Mike Vick or the Eagles? I’d think its the latter, and if you drop everyone in coverage McCoy will average around 6 ypc. Oh and by the way, what kind of coverage? Cover 2? Cover 3? Curl Zones? Flat Zones? Robbers? I think my local PeeWee team needs a water boy, subit your resume on-line and I’ll let them know. And you call yourself a Raven’s fan. The Eagles will win because…. Mike Vick isn’t the only Eagle showing up Sunday, this is a statement game for the whole team. Eagles 27- Giants 14.

It would be very upsetting for me to see the Bengals and former one year starter for the Bills Terrell Owens beat Buffalo. Of the seven games left in the season, this one is the most important to me. I would love to see this streak starting in 88 stay alive. Go Bills!!!!

The Packers are the ONLY team Chi. have beat that has more then 3 wins going into week 10 of football. I think a lot of people feel Chi have a little more to proove.

@2mannings1cup

lol, keep dreaming. Eagles @ home with Vick against a team that couldn’t beat a 1-7 Cowboys at home.

Let me get whatever it is you’re smoking though.
