There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

I don't think so. The Bears gave the Bills game away. I doubt they will give another game away to the Jets.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

in NY on MNF, that is not an automatic win scenario

Do you trust Geno Smith more in prime time or Cutler?

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

It's hard to believe that Geno Smith is a better option for the present than Vick.

Isn't Rex Ryan coaching for a new contract? Why is he playing Smith instead of Vick? Seems pretty odd.

Les Grobstein's huge hog is proof that God has a sense of humor, isn't it?

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

Congrats on being better than me, Psycory.

The Bears are who we thought they were.


A legit NFC contender.

You would think a guy like Rex Ryan would definitely be playing Vick, the man with much better feet.

Neither the Bears nor the 49ers will make the playoffs this year.

This is what could be the problem. did we just beat a bad team?

The 49ers won't make the playoffs but they're still a good team. The Bears are better than some of you all think. That's the issue here.

Kaepernick seems to be getting worse with each game and, as someone else mentioned, he definitely has a confidence problem.

San Francisco entered the fourth quarter with a 20-7 lead over the Chicago Bears Sunday night…and most everyone assumed they would be able to seal the deal because the superior team almost always does that! In fact, we’d just watched an entire day of teams sitting on leads like that to grind out yawner victories.


BOOM! The Bears finished off an 80-yard TD drive with 13:35 left in the fourth quarter to make it 20-14. A few seconds later, it was 21-20 Chicago after a 3-yard TD drive off an SF miscue. Another cheap TD drive (42 yards) finished out the scoring in Chicago's 28-20 shocker.


There were a lot of concerns through the Preseason about offensive execution for San Francisco, and the general team mindset as head coach Jim Harbaugh seemed to be wearing out his welcome. That didn’t matter last week in Dallas…when it was the Cowboys imploding to give SF an easy victory. You’ll see below that San Francisco was actually pretty dominant outside the turnover category. Should have been a standard Harbaugh-grinder.


Chicago 28, San Francisco 20
Chicago: 216 yards, 4.2 per-play, 0 turnovers, 33% third downs
S. Fran : 391 yards, 5.6 per-play, 4 turnovers, 54% third downs


Throw out the turnover category, and that’s what San Francisco usually does at home! Well, sometimes they win the turnover category on the way to monster blowouts. Should have been a yawner at the very least.


Other Stats
Rushing Yardage: Chicago 46, San Francisco 129
Passing Stats: Chicago 23-34-0-170, San Francisco 21-34-3-232
Drive Points: Chicago 14, San Francisco 6
Stat Score: Chicago 12, San Francisco 22
Sloppiness: Chicago 11, San Francisco 33


(For you new visitors, Drive Points are those scored only on drives of 60 yards or more; Stat Score is a calculation of what the final score “should” have been based on the formula: 2 times rushing yards, plus passing yards, times 0.67, divided by 15; and Sloppiness is a quick assessment of sharpness based on 5 times the number of giveaways plus the number of incomplete passes. The lower the number, the better in sloppiness because you want to avoid being sloppy)


I don’t usually run penalty counts. But the fact that SF was flagged 16 times on a night where they were also losing the ball four times seems relevant. It’s hard to imagine a more poorly executed game from a playoff caliber team. Stat score says it should have been a double digit win. Though, Chicago did win Drive Points 14-6. Give Jay Cutler credit for finishing off a couple of long drives. SF had two long field goal drives, then a bunch of giveaways…against a Bears defense that graded out as one of the worst in the league last year.


Both teams are 1-1. Chicago’s actually in a four-way tie for first in the NFC North (Green Bay, Detroit, Minnesota also 1-1). San Francisco is still tied with Seattle thanks to the Seahawks loss today in San Diego. Arizona leads the NFC West with a 2-0 mark.


Did it feel to you like almost every game this afternoon was 24-10ish? Cincinnati/Atlanta landed right on that number. But, seven other games were within 10 points of it one way or another (26-10 for Dallas, 30-7 for new England, and so on). Make it eight for the week if you count Baltimore’s 26-6 win Thursday. Chicago/San Francisco was right there to be another one until that wild and crazy fourth quarter. Not exactly Red-Zone-errific. Karma frowning on all sorts of things in this sport right now.

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Oh, I get it. The win shouldn't count because of the other factors. Just like you think Abreu's HRs shouldn't count because they "barely get over the wall"

Lots of stupid in that line of thinking.
