Re: No help from Bears
 

IMO the Skins will beat the Vikings, it looked to me last night that the Vikings playing a rookie QB and RB in a must win showed that they might have problems winning against the Skins due to rookie mistakes in the game, somewhat like last night, Denver on the other hand can't stop the run much less A. Peterson and Chester Taylor.
The problem first though is that the Saints have to do their part and win the next two which won't be easy but they should win, on paper that is.
The Giants are horrible, I really don't see them beating the Bills on the road and sure as hell won't beat the Pats but again, the Saints have a lot on their plate also, it might come down to week 16 to see who takes the two Wildcard spots.

GO SAINTS!!!

Re: No help from Bears
 

that was the worst offesive showing ive ever seen if i can even call it that they had they ball on the 50 two times in a row in second half and got nothing not to mention many other oppurtunites with good field position but if min. plays like that next week they will lose and im also ruiting for buffalo as well as washington

Re: No help from Bears
 

Don't forget that the Giants are not a lock yet. Buffalo is a team that is capable of getting nasty this season. If the Giants lose to Buffalo, then it becomes a must win showdown against the most likely undefeated Pats to make the playoffs.

I think that it'll all shake out after this week.

Re: No help from Bears
 

It's fairly simply to game plan against the Bears these days. Just play conservative on offense, keep it simple, no turnovers and stuff, and NEVER kick the ball to Hester. Just kick the damn thing out of bounds if necessary. A 30 yard out of bounds punt is much better than a 50 yard punt with a 70 yard return. On kickoffs, kick that damn thing out of bounds too if necessary. It's much better to have the Bears start at the 40 rather than seeing Hester take it to the house.

Yeah, things are not looking to great for the Giants. I would hate to have to end the season playing Buffalo and New England. Eli is looking like the wrong answer for New York. Every season his numbers seem to go down as the season progresses, perhaps he is not a nasty weather QB. He obviously does horrible in Giant Stadium late in seasons when the wind and weather becomes horrible. I would bet if he had a do over he would have opted for San Diego... LOL

Re: No help from Bears
 

What I couldn't get about the Bears is why leave Orton in the game when he obviously is just horrible. Are you trying to lose? Are you just dense Lovie Smith? Does Brian Griese's arm have a tear or break I don't know about?
I just hope Lovie keeps Orton in the entire game against us. He makes Ryan Leaf look like an all pro.

Re: No help from Bears
 

From what I understand is the Bears knowing that they are out of it, wants to see if Orton has any future with them. It looks like from all indications that the Bears will be QB shopping in the off-season. It's a looks pretty grim on the free agent market, so perhaps they will need to draft someone in the first round, or make a trade with someone. Maybe a guy like JP Losman or Daunte Culpepper will be available, who knows. Not very pretty to say the least...

Re: No help from Bears
 

I've heard McNabbs name bandied about for them next year.

Re: No help from Bears
 

Yeah, I heard that too, but I don't think the Eagles will let McNabb walk anytime soon. What would the Eagles do if they let McNabb walk, give the job to Kolb? IMO there is no way that is going to happen in 2008.
