NFL Week 9

There are 12 conference games on the schedule, while there are 14 common games. More is better. And as mentioned upthread, it’s always more fair to play the same teams regardless of venue than it is to play different teams.

Trent Dilfer just said Aaron Rodgers is the best QB in the league… at every single imaginable facet of the game.

I mean, yeah, he’s the best QB in the world right now… But that’s just stupid.

Nice first drive by the Bears.

Damn Gruden lays it on thick.

Yeah, he really should just close his mouth.

Everything’s looking pretty good for the Bears thus far, but Cutler’s a little inaccurate so far. Not good, hope he settles down. Martz seems like he got a little full of himself after a masterful, balanced opening drive only to start breaking out the quirky shit on the second drive.

Well this is the exact same Eagles team that showed up weeks two through five. Not looking good.

Just a bad decision and a bad throw by Vick. What the hell was he thinking? Interceptions in the red zone are killer.

Bears should be up 10 right now and we’d better get 7 here. Not wanting to let them hang around.

ETA: Man, I forgot how much we missed Bennett. I like Sanzenbacher but he’s no replacement for Bennett.

I hate when they try to run a wildcat with Cutler. It’s not like he’s a threat for anything out wide.

Completely off topic, but I just saw this on the front page of Yahoo. Holy Crap.

That’s not good.

From Brad Biggs Twitter feed:

Peppers back in there, thank god. We need to get him healthy, hope we can build up a lead and give him some snaps off.

That Eagles O line is completely unimpressive.

I think the most surprising thing about this game so far is that there’s two minutes left in the half and the Bears still have all three timeouts.

WTF? Why is Knox taking that?

Man I hope that was a incompletion.

Nah, that was a catch.

Don’t think so. Rare mistake by Forte.

Yeah, but I had to hold out hope.

This has been a deceptively mistake filled half by the Bears. This game should not be tied, hope we don’t implode in the second half. Getting a FG to retake momentum would be huge before the half.
