Actually it was the girls decision. I read an interview and she suggested it and wanted to do her own thing. So don't go blaming the sports guy here. As Stuart Scott would say...."hata'"
I like Matt and I hope he develops into a great player sometime soon. I like disparity amongst teams in professional sports, I'd love to see the cardinals be good soon even though I'm not a cards fan. Its fun to have differnet teams win. I'm a huge fan of a salary cap. Anyway, go Tigers!
As for last nights game, the bears were lucky, but they are also good. Sometimes you get those and you need luck once and a while. Even the 1972 dolphins won some real close games. The Bears don't play the Bills 16 games a year you know.

I agree Ron - and that is what Dennis Green was trying to say when he exploded in his press conference - "...we knew exactly who the Bears are ... if you want to crown their a&&, then crown them..."

I don't wanna hear it! My AZ Cards should have won that. Geez, I can not even explain what happened.

All I know is that Green has a lot of nerve to fire his Offensive Coordinator today - this guy is absolutely clueless, just like he was in Minnesota, and Arizona's Ownership or General Management are moronic for letting a firing like that happen.

Although in thinking about it, I wonder if it was all the "illegal formation" penalties - I could not believe how a pro team could get penalized for that many illegal formation fouls.

Well, that definitely wasn't a blowout like I had predicted. I really think that this game will serve as a wake up call for these Bears. Earlier in the season they have talked about how cocky they were going into the playoff game against Carolina and how this year they had a quiet confidence and all was going well. What you saw last night was a glimpse of that outward cockiness coming through. A large number of the players have been referring to Miami like they were already there (as in the Super Bowl venue, and not the week 9 opponent). I have full confidence that Lovie will use this game as a beacon to show the guys what overconfidence and underperformance can do. And after last night, I don't even remember who Mike Singletary was. Thanks for the enlightenment CubDave.

And you've got to give kudos to the Card's offence, defense and special teams for knowing the proper way to choke in a single quarter.
But, that's the Denny way - choke in the big game.
At least he didn't take a knee with a minute 30 seconds left in the half (although I could tell he was tempted). Yep, 8 or 9 years later, I'm still bitter about the playoff loss to the Falcons in the dome in OT.
Dave - you're right about the penalties. The only problem now is that the Vikings still do it even with the Baffoon in Arizona.

Weren't most of the illegal formations on special teams though?
I think it's funny that Denny fired the guy and said it wasn't his fault in the same sentence!

Actually - there were 2 or 3 illegal formation penalties in their offensive formation - one or two of them were not having an eligible receiver on the line of scrimmage

That game was freakin' unbelievably awful. I couldn't even watch it. AND it didn't help that Joe Theismann is a moron. I can't stand to listen to him and that other little Keebler Elf lookin' guy.
Anyway...I absolutely believe, 100% that the team started to believe their own hype. The damn media has been bringing up the 85 Bears, whether the 72 Dolphins are worried about their record, and that this team is the best in the NFL.
I knew this was coming and I've been saying it all season (so far)...as long as the injury bug stays away...we're good. If it comes, I think we're screwed.
Regardless of the win, Lovie and the team should take this game away as a very humbling experience.
As far as Rex is concerned, he just needs to take this one, learn from it, and move on. Mama said there'd be days like this!

My heart has just now stopped slamming in my chest after watching that game! I almost gave up and went to bed twice. I never thought they'd pull it off. I'm kind of glad they almost got their butts spanked, though. They need to stop reading their press clippings with all this destiny crap and just play each game with the same intensity every time. Remember what Al Pacino said: "On any given Sunday, any team can win or lose." Was that a real quote or just a movie quote?

It's also a quote of an old football coach. I don't think it was Lombardi, but it was one of the greats. The quote has been around longer than the movie.

Go Bears.
What was that noise last night? Oh, it was the country jumping back on the bears bandwagon....(oh ye of little faith). With Rex able to handle that early interception and not spiral out of control, the Bears showed everyone that they are the best.

How great was that 108 missed field goal return??? It was as great as Tony Dorsett's 99 yard run!!!! Did you see that block on the offensive NY lineman? He got wiped out. Anyway, its always good to see another NFL record....

(and no I'm not a Bears fan, although I do follow them because I watched Rex play his high school ball where my kids graduated and where my oldest grandson currently plays football)
