From: TimJab | Posted: 12/11/2011 5:22:41 PM | #148 Playing out exactly as expected so far.
The Bears D is really good but their offense is horrendous.
I wish they had bets specific enough that I could go put all of my money on "Tim Tebow leads a 24 yard game-winning TD drive ending with a 62 yard field goal to give Denver the 3-0 win". The game being in Denver makes this a lock.
Bet the under.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting anything more than Defense out of this Bears-Broncos game, but these are the Top Performers at Half: Passing: T. Tebow (DEN) - 45 YDS, 1 INT Rushing: M. Barber (CHI) - 9 CAR, 46 YDS Receiving: M. Willis (DEN) - 1 REC, 23 YDS
Can't they just pretend to have played the 3rd quarter and go straight to the 4th after half?
I hate this season so much. What a waste of gleeful energy as I got excited about them making the playoffs.
Cutler was on some kinda roll, Forte was dominating and the D was flying around. Then Cutler got hurt... Now we hope that Hanie gets it together and stops throwing picks. Then Forte goes down...
:(

...That was weird. Were the Raiders prevented from running a play during all that? They certainly seemed like they had enough time to quickly run something before the challenge came out.
I mean, I agree it was an incomplete pass, but it seemed to take an awful long time for the Packers to challenge.

Word. I was at the game when Cutler got hurt. We were like "wow, best play ever! Go Cutler! Other quarterbacks wouldn't have gone for that tackle because they're SOFT!!" Then late that night we found out and my dad was all like "Whatever. Hanie's better. He almost brought us to victory last year against the Packers!"
hope this call gets overturned into an incomplete pass, because that exact same play has been called a fumble on sanchize at least 4 times that i can remember (most notably in the afc championship last year)
it's an incomplete pass when brady does it, so let's see if rodgers has entered that hallowed ground yet
Bears need to find someway to score a TD though, otherwise they'll get Tebowed in the 4th. Which would be a crime since the D has been GREAT so far today...

and he has!
congratulations green bay cheaters fans!
normally i'd just assume that the fact we were playing the stealers would override anything favoritism the jets might have gotten otherwise, but then it happened 3 more times. then i remembered we're the jets and the refs hate us.

Packers are Goodell's new boys now. I really hope Brett Favre returns to play one game for the Bears to break "perfection*"

Ugh, the offenses in this Bears vs Broncos game is just....offensive. I don't know what the hell happened to the Bears OLine, they've been absolutely brutal since Cutler went down.

From: Mershaaay | #173 Packers are Goodell's new boys now. I really hope Brett Favre returns to play one game for the Bears to break "perfection*"
I don't see Favre returning helping at all. I think the Bears O-Line was kind of inspired by Cutler to perform better, and I'm not sure if Favre would bring that back out or simply be stomped into the ground harder than he was last year.
Uhh. Did anyone else see that Hester return? Should've been a 5 yard loss, turned into a 30 or so yard return because Hester is the man. And the Bears power run it into the endzone!!

Hanie is just really, really slow to throw the ball. It's painful. That said... TOUCHDOWN BEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSS
That's the only way the Bears can score any points with Hanie, is for Hester to do all the work on his returns and then run the ball the rest of the way.

We aren't even good at that anymore with our Matt Forte out!
This is my favorite stat though: QB CMP YDS AVG TD INT NFL RATING T. Tebow 3/15 45 3.0 0 1 11.8 C. Hanie 7/12 43 3.6 0 0 65.6
In a game of field position, Robbie Gould comes out to attempt a 57 yard field goal at the start of the 4th. I don't believe he's ever made one that long. And as I'm about to rage at my TV, he hits it.

"The replay system has malfunctioned. The play stands."
Did this... did this actually happen?

Barber could not have been more wide open. That likely wouldn't have gone for a TD, but that is a LOT of yards the Bears just missed because Hanie overthrew him. Like Bennett last week, which would've been a TD.
Ugh...

Yeah, Raiders challenged that the Packers stepped out of bounds on a kick return about 20 yards earlier than the play was ruled dead. It's obvious that the returner steps out of bounds on the replays and that the Raiders will win it.
Refs come out and say that because the replay system is malfunctioning that there is no challenge and the play will stand. ...At least the Raiders weren't charged a timeout!

Everytime that qb draw is called, Tebow is surrounded by 4 Bears immediately. And wow Tebow had plenty of time to throw that ball, and held it for way too long. Great play by Steltz and Idonije!
