At one time, yes.

I dunno, I guess I just see a very good running back who happened to be in a very favorable situation.

Number five on that list is George Rogers. Does anyone thing George Rogers is great? Sometimes where you draw those lines is very important.

This loss really stings. Not cuz we lost. I knew that could happen. Cuz it was there for the taking when we had it 1st and goal on the 1 yard line.

We could have broke their spirit and killed the crowd right there. Fuck!!!!

Who the fuck is George Waters?

Not saying Peterson will be a Hall of Famer but the guys is special. Who would you rather have at RB? Portis? Westbrook? Jacobs? Turner? Those guys are all great and if he were healthy I might take Westbrook. Hell, Hester was brilliant for two years. If the Vikes had a QB they would have run away with the North 2-3 weeks ago.

No. And so long as those lines exclude Emmitt Smith, Franco Harris, Marshall Faulk, Thurman Thomas...and Curtis Martin( ), we will agree.

And Favre was on the big stage when? 2005? 1999? Earlier?

Or am I blinded by the glare from Favre's multiple SB rings

For all the glass half full guys out there, a question. Since the Super Bowl loss, what have you seen from the Bears that makes you think they can win 4 games in a row to make the playoffs? So far this season, the Bears have 6 wins, and 3 of those against horrible teams (Lions and Rams).

Don't get me wrong, I hope somehow the Bears make the playoffs. Cuz they get a home playoff game, and thats not too bad all things considered. But I had this team pegged for 5 wins. They are who we thought they were.

I'm sort of w/ Frank on this one. But I'm not comparing him to any all-time greats, because I'm pretty sure we would all take AP right now over Brown, Payton, Sayers, or EVEN Forsey.

AP is a great RB in today's NFL, without a doubt in my mind. R&B asked who would I rather have instead of AP:

NFC:
B. Westbrook: No (too "hurty" all the time)
B. Jacobs: No (too one dimensional)
M. Forte: No (not yet, kool-aid fans)
R. Grant:
R. Bush: No. see R. Grant
C. Portis: No. see B. Westbrook and a add a 1/2 cup of D. Rodman
S. Jackson: maybe oft-injured, maybe the shadow of Faulk doesn't help, but no.
F. Gore: very good RB on a crap team. I like Gore, but would rather have AP.
M. Turner: I saved him for last, because he is the one NFC RB I would have to pause and consider. But let me see more...

AFC:
L. Tomlinson: Yes - way too versatile and quick to pass up.
W. Parker: No. too "hurty"
W. McGahee: No. WAY too "hurty"
J. Lewis: No - too old and felonius.
J. Addai: No. WTF has happened to him?
AFC rookie star RB's: None yet.
L. Johnson:

I could keep going, but I think you get my drift. AP is a great RB in today's NFL. Top 2, possibly 3. Yes, he has great line, but almost always faces stacked lines against him. No passing threat to speak of. He's real good.

only borderline great? cmon

seriously cmooooonnn

I'm a fan, but I'm also a realist. I did not expect them to beat the Titans or win last nite, and picked accordingly.

But I guess that makes me a meatball

No more meatball references PLEASE! Moron, idiot, dumb fuck, jack ass, meat head, etc.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong on this one.

Otherwise, I agree with your point. And in regards to my last post, I'm not blaming Orton for the loss...he had a bad game, he's allowed to have one, as he's been quite good this year...but to say that he DIDNT have a bad game (as Irish Boy is) is ridiculous.

I was making my comments in real time during the game. Orton did have a bad game, specifically regarding the last two interceptions. He didn't have a bad first half, and I still don't think the first interception was his fault. There were at least five drops in the first half alone (I was at six when I stopped counting sometime in the 3rd quarter.) He wasn't playing badly until the game started to get out of hand.

Is it possible that Adrian Peterson looks better than he really is? His stats certainly weren't unwordly last night, even with the big run. If he doesn't have the good fortune of playing against Kevin Payne, his numbers would have been downright awful.

Either you truely are the world's biggest bullshitter, or you have lost all hope.

Are you talking about the Bears? The qb play is the least of their problems. What are you talking about? Does Favre stop the run? Does he not five up 500 yds passing to Brian Griese?

An intelligent fan sir, will not "pick" his team to win every game. You will root for them, pray for them, maybe even scream for them, but I doubt you "pick" them every game. If you do, I totally want to be in your confidence pool. Please.
Also, you picked them to lose 5 this year IIRC. So, are you hopeless?

Thats your response?

You just said the day you picked against the Bears is the day you lose all hope? I saw no such disclaimer about not picking the Bears in tough road games?

And you never specified gameday or non gameday. You just said "the day I pick the bears to lose..."

_________________

Sorry you post so much retarded shit(McNabb is clutch, AP is unproven, Tavaris isnt bad...etc) I just assume you were talking about the bears cuz that would be a very Nasian thought.

Nas 2 questions

Can you make 1 post without contradicting yourself?
Are you employed? (not really my business but you asked about my employment last week and im just wondering)

So you hoped and thought they would lose to the Vikes. So you were right again all powerful one!

Soooo, your predictions aren't picks? Don't fucking insult my intelligence, Nas, I will take the Pepsi challenge with you any day.

Busy posting on a message board? Thats busy to you?

So, let me see if I have this right Nas. In order for you to consider somebody a non-meatball fan of the Bears, they can never pick them to lose? Never. Only to win.

I sure as shit hope you aren't a betting man. You'd be out on your ass before your first check even cleared.

Except you didnt say not sold on his greatnes you added greateness later, and you said mcnabb played well in the playoffs too not just the 4th quarter, and in arguing against Purple Jesus you mentioned Tavaris' stellar late season performances.

Do you not realize these posts are public?

Well we must be doing something then because between this thread and the McNabb thread, you sure as fuck have a lot of posts over the past few days. Most all of which are asinine.
