Judgment Day for someone…

posted by on November 18 at 10:08 AM

Jeez, the local team already beat the Bears. For the superstitious, a bad sign: but a sign, like all signs, that is ambiguous. Does this mean that all the Bear-beating mojo of the area has been used up, and Chicago will crunch the Seahawks? Or does it mean that the Pacific Northwest is on an anti-Ursine roll, and Chicago’s Bears are next on the menu?

I predict that the Bears are gonna lose, but not because of the lack of quality quarterbacking, but due to no running game worthy of the name. If Adrian Peterson (ours, not the Minnesota rookie of the year candidate) gets the ball ten or more times, then we’ll know Lovie Smith has given up on first-round bust Cedric Benson, whose primary move isn’t the cut-back across the grain, it’s pouting his way to the bench after gaining 2.6 yards on second and eight. (Right now, Walter Payton is gaining more yards than Benson just by spinning in his grave.)

If it’s a low-scoring game, though, the Bears have a slim chance named Devin Hester. But Holmgren is too smart to kick to Hester.

So, from the very last row, I will watch and listen with the nephew. Won’t bring the laptop for live-slogging, as that would interfere with the beer I’ll need to endure this debacle.

Well, your man CB's been in the end zone already, so you'll be happy. Your D looks pretty pressurizing so far, but slants beat blitzes.

It's early. You gotta pee yet?

these teams seem to match up well. neither seems to be playing any defense. that will probably end up benefiting the Seahawks as they are used to relying upon their O.

the passing game is looking pretty smooth here at the end of the game.

Hey, I kind of root for Rex a little. Too bad for him that his O-Line fell apart on him towards the end. Made him look bad.

CF, you didn't have enough D.

Well, you got the part right about the bears losing.

There were quite a few bears fans at the game. The one by us in section 339 self-identified himself as a typical d-bag bears fan by popping a green balloon that had been batted around for the better part of the second quarter.

Shockingly, seattle fans actually shouted the guy down, pelted him with peanuts, and I counted TWO cups of beer thrown in his direction.

One thing I think we can all agree on, though, is that it's easy to hate the fucking patriots. is anyone watching this? it's sickening.

ps: mike in mo: i ALWAYS love a good division game
