Bears 24 - Eagles 20

Good Kyle Bad Kyle?

First Half : 15 of 24 for174 yards 3 TD's and 0 INT's

Second Half : 3 of 10 for 25 yards 0TD's and 1 INT

The real story here is that Kyle has a bowl cut. No millionaire should have a bowl cut unless it's Jim Carrey.

I saw this interview (on left) last Sunday morning as I began my ritual of watching pre-game hype for 4 hours, and I had to grab my cell phone to take the picture. First the neck beard, and now this.

Orton looked good here

And here

And here








This stat from Larry Mayer, of Chicago Bears.com's Chalk Talk

"Over the last two weeks, Orton’s five TD passes are second in the NFL only to the Jets’ Brett Favre, who has nine."







Now stop sucking in the 2nd half and get a proper haircut. Please.






I re-learned a valuable lesson this week. Always ask 2 people to record a game for you in case something goes wrong.



Especially if this is the first guy you ask.

I eventually found tenyardtorrents.com, a bit torrent site with tons of games current and historic. You can go there now and watch the '86 Superbowl game.







It looks like Special Teams are going to be tops in the league again this year.

Brad Maynard already has 11 punts inside the 20 - 3rd best in the league.

In the past I've been critical of Robbie's leg on kickoffs, but he has 4 touchbacks this season. He had 3 total touchbacks last season.





And we know it's only a matter of time before Hester goes off.




I loved A. Brown's stuff on 4th and goal, but there was another crucial play that soon followed. The Bears were on the 1 yard line after mustering only 2 first downs the entire second half. On third and 4 with 2:43 left on the clock, at least one first down was needed. Matt Forte responded with a tough 10 yards, breaking a few arm tackles on the way. We finally have a RB who can consistently move the chains on 3rd and short.



Doug Buffone of The Score always talk about most teams being stuck in "The Muck", the middle of the pack - the 500 teams. It won't be a fun season if the Bears are struggling to stay above 500. We've been lucky so far in facing a hobbled Peyton Manning, avoiding Steve Smith and not having to face The Eagles RB Brian Westbrook. With games against The Lions and The Falcons up next, The Bears have a great opportunity to seperate themselves from the muck.

What is going on with Tommie Harris? It was just reported that he has been suspended a game for misconduct. Brad Biggs of The Sun-Times speculates that it could be due to chronic tardiness. Tommie is the fan favorite - watching the kids reaction to him at training camp leaves no doubt of this. But after somehow receiving a 4 year contract extension worth 40 million dollars while rehabbing a (perhaps) permanently messed up knee, Tommie is off to a very slow start. And now we hear he might have an attitude problem...
