This could easily be stuck into another thread but I started a one. Sometimes I like Bleacher Report. Other times I find it just plain silly even thought hey are not working the humor angle. Like this one .

I know there was a little concern by fans and on this site after the SF game bit I was not over concerned. Unfortunately I was on the road for the first part of the week and my computer was down with a bad virus for most of the rest of the week. (Kudos to Geeks 2 Go tech for working with me. Sorry Kevin. But I figure you don't want everyone bothering you with their computer issues.)

The numbers are mine so I can comment on their article.


1.We were all guilty of it.

2. After watching the Packers struggle against the 49ers and the Bears blast the Colts, we were all writing off Green Bay and crowning Jay Cutler as the new king of the NFC North.

3. Then we watched one more football game and found out that we are a sports nation that jumps to conclusions and makes knee-jerk reactions.

4. Did everyone forget that the 49ers were the No. 4 overall defense in the NFL last season? Did everyone forget that the Colts were so bad that they earned the right to draft No. 1 in April?

5. Did everyone forget that Green Bay's quarterback is named Aaron Rodgers and Chicago's is still Jay Cutler?

6. Apparently so.

7. Now that we all had a chance to find out how wrong we were about two teams after one week, let's take a look at some other conclusions we jumped to that may very well have been off base.



1. No we weren't.
2. Not in this room. Not anyone who had any sense whatsoever.
3. Some do. Not everyone.
4. Nope but thanks for asking.
5. Not here. Maybe some moron did.
6. Apparently not.
7. It seems as if you still have not learned your lesson and are now jumping just as far the other direction. Just let the season play itself out. Good teams sometimes lose to good teams. Sometimes they lose to bad teams. One or 2 games isn't much of an indicator one way or the other.

I think alot of the "hand wringing" wasn't just because of the niners game. I think alot goes back to the thrashing the Packers took from the Giants in the playoff loss. Add both together, and it didn't look good. Had the Packers won the SB last year, i think the niners game wouldn't have caused such an uproar. JMO of course.

Well here is my concerns:

The offense has 3 tds in 2 games, but our special teams has 2 ( our offense needs to step up some)

The defense is inconsistent, we looked we against a so called bad offensive team and then we get hyped over beating up a bad o-line. The Bears had guys open and just didn't make the plays.

We still seem to play flat on offense, where is the swagger we had last year.


Those were just a few thoughts which I hope are fixed before next Monday, because that will be a tough game.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

The D is inconsistent, but you could also say they figured out some of their deficiencies. For isntance, Shields over Bush. McMillian over Jennings.

As for the O, these sort of "lulls" are par for the course. They'll have their moments and hopefully peak at the right time.

Overall, unless you go 0-4 or just look bad all your games, I really think it's stupid to start making judgements about a team before week 4.

Thank you Cheesey.

I'm not the resident expert at football. However, I do know it pretty well and I stand by how I felt after week 1.

The ENTIRE SEASON last year we had a horrible D that relied on Mr. 🇦🇷 to bail it out. The whole season. Then the Playoffs came around and Mr. 🇦🇷 didn't have his A+ game that day. Plus, our receivers mistook the football for a hot potato.

So we didn't win.

When game 1 came around, it looked like a continuation of the Playoff game. It looked like nothing changed.

So no, it wasn't one game.

Right now, the Green Bay Packers are a big ??? Which D will we bring for the rest of the season? That's the question. We know we can overpower da Bears' OL. If we can do that to other OLs, we'll make up for our mediocre DBs. If we can't, it may be a long season.

Defensively that we hung with the bears like that impressed the shit out of me. I am not drinking the cool aid, but I just think, considering all the youth and inexperience, we hung with the 49ers and beat the Bears handily. I'm fucking impressed to be honest because I expected 0-2 at this point. Happy to be wrong 🙂
