Am I the only one thinking Chicago will go 7-9?
Not because of Cutler though.

His #1 WR is Devin Hester
They forgot they needed decent wideouts (Iglesias could be decent) to do anything.
"[Aaron] Curry is not a good pass-rusher" - Fearless Frog, 4/25/2009
Yeah....that makes two.
Is that enough?
And their defense (which autopick gave me) is on the brink of collapse.

Also fun fact I didn't know
Anyone remember this play?

Anyone want to venture a guess on who the Minnesota safety was on that play?

Whew.
I was just listening to 950 on a drive, and they were talking like Deion Branch was cut, not if he might be, but as if Ruskell severed the tie to him already.
I’m glad that doesn’t seem to be the case.
If our passing game is this good without him
We literally won’t need Branch.
"[Aaron] Curry is not a good pass-rusher" - Fearless Frog, 4/25/2009
It would be nice though

Would we get much worse?
Not saying cut him now but if this passing game (sans 1st quarter) plays like this and Butler continues to impress he’s useless.
What I think is his tenure is ending if he can’t stay healthy and/or he’s being upstaged by the guys in his place.
"[Aaron] Curry is not a good pass-rusher" - Fearless Frog, 4/25/2009
Well if he is healthy
he won’t get upstaged.

I never said that
I mean if we do this consistently without Branch.
When he comes back I think we’ll be better but if not…
"[Aaron] Curry is not a good pass-rusher" - Fearless Frog, 4/25/2009
Dumping Branch means Obo gets moved up the depth chart and someone like Hass is brought in off the PS.
That makes us worse.
Especially cause Hass would also then have to play ST

If Driver caught that,
that would’ve been a pretty awesome play. Lots of time, jumped over a hand, 30 yard zip.
Ha, I'm thinking about making a QFC run soon.
I’ll probably be too lazy though. It is a good 30 yard walk away.
Once I goto the store I'll never make it back.

I wonder what the nation is rooting for?
Seems like it’d be Green Bay.
Hard to not root for Rodgers since everyone feels sorry for him since the draft.
And hard to root for big baby Cutler.
If you come from a family of Bears fans
How’d you become a Seahawks fan?

I didn't think Watkins was terrible
but I’m gland Wilson is gone. Now they need to get their act together and give Hammond a contract.
Wait is Darrell Hammond not on SNL anymore?
He’s funny.
"[Aaron] Curry is not a good pass-rusher" - Fearless Frog, 4/25/2009
14 Seasons?
He’s been there since 1995; longer than any other cast member in SNL history. I’ve read that he intended to leave after this past season, but NBC is trying to woo him back.
by Silky_Salamander on Sep 13, 2009 6:10 PM PDT up reply actions
Agreed
It’s like they’re not even trying.
"[Aaron] Curry is not a good pass-rusher" - Fearless Frog, 4/25/2009
I really only tune in if they have a host I'm interested in.
Timberlake, NPH, and Hugh Laurie, and Alec Baldwin were the only episodes I saw last season.
I'm sometimes up that late and it's a tradition.
SNL is a talent factory: writers and talent. I watch it a few times a year to see if they found anyone. I thought when they recruited the Lonely Island writers it improve, but other than the digital shorts, SNL is a wasteland.
I disagree.
SNL is good again.

Your threshold is different than mine.
If I can watch Jimmy Fallon and Smallville season 7, I can watch the Office.
The last episode I saw
(partially) Michael Scott was set up with…Pam I think….Pam’s landlord, and, of course, she’s not attractive. The date was awkward and mean spirited and cheap. Just bad writing.
Congrats Ichiro!

I always had a sneaking suspicion Cutler was a fraud made by Denver's offensive talent.
It’s only the first game, but still. He’s channeling his inner Grossman out there.

No Polomalu hurts them a lot as well

So....crappiest QB performance of the day?
No way Delhomme doesn’t win this I thought…before Cutler took the field.
"[Aaron] Curry is not a good pass-rusher" - Fearless Frog, 4/25/2009
Due for a
Cutler temper tantrum. McD isn’t as stupid as the press has been making him out to be…
Kidding?
Did you see Kyle Orton win the game for them by going 90 yards in the last 30 seconds? The man is unstoppable.
at least get him some help

Were Becks picks as bad as Cutlers?
Was in the stands so I didnt get that great a view. That 1st one was at least at a reciever
I think I just pooped your pants...
The 2nd INT was pathetic
Slowest pass ever.
"[Aaron] Curry is not a good pass-rusher" - Fearless Frog, 4/25/2009
One of them looked pretty bad.
More to the point, Beck had a lot of bad passes in his first few series. Throwing into a lot of double-coverage etc.
Yes, true.
Cutler lack’s Matt’s maturity however.
What do you think we would get in return?
"[Aaron] Curry is not a good pass-rusher" - Fearless Frog, 4/25/2009
The Seahawks have the best point differential in the NFL.
Just a fun fact I wanted to throw out there.
Reason #1932 why QB Rating sucks
Orton gets a boost in his rating for that play.
Leno needs the sign telling people to laugh
really struggles without it
I think I just pooped your pants...
Poor Leno
I don’t think he deserves some of the slack he’s getting

Each OS has their strengths that puts them on par with every other OS.
Firefox > IE
Can we agree there?
"[Aaron] Curry is not a good pass-rusher" - Fearless Frog, 4/25/2009
IE 8 has clearly been "borrowing" some ideas from FF, Safari, etc.
To improve their stuff.
Why they took forever to figure out tabbed browsing was a good idea is beyond me.
"[Aaron] Curry is not a good pass-rusher" - Fearless Frog, 4/25/2009
Right now I can say that IE 8 has a smaller footprint than the current version of Firefox does.
I like the add-on capabilities of FF, but it’s turned into a real resource hog since version 3 released.

By Collinsworth's logic
If Green Bay’s defense allows a touchdown and the Packers lose, it’s Aaron Rodgers’ fault.
Yes
Because Rodgers’ lack of effort in the secondary has killed the Packers.
