Mother fuck. Cutler is playing like he did in Primetime all last season.

I think this fumble is going to be reversed I’m afraid.

ETA: On replay, nope! It stands!

ETA2: MUST have a TD here.

Eagles are winning that battle. I was hoping for a good game, but outside of the first drive nobody has impressed.

Guess they [Bears] need the refs to help out.

Oh please. Babin wasn’t trying to let up at all. Spencer would have to have the strongest wrists on the planet to be responsible for that.

Hard to let up when you get a two handed shove in the back, homer.

What an awful first half. The Eagles deserve to be down 21. They SHOULD be tied. Ugh.

This half could be the Eagles’ season. Sure hope they come out with more life than that awful first half

McCoy has a bit of Barry Sanders in him.

Except this one!

That was a mirror image to the first Bears drive. Methodical and founded on McCoy. Hope the defense can manage something going forward.

Is Alex Henery the only kicker who can’t get it in the endzone? Or is he TRYING to give Hester a bunch of returns?

The Eagles kicker has the weakest leg I’ve ever seen. We need to make them pay for that at some point.

Quality Simulpost.

Phil Dawson can’t, which is weird because from 2008-2009 he was doing it under the old rules. He’s always been a guy with a small leg though so I think he might’ve been on HGH those years.

He may set the record for 50+ FGs this year though despite it - he’s at 6 already and the record is 8. His range is only like 53 yards, but he can get him reliably.
