Lions and Cowboys always each have a Thanksgiving game. Recently I believe they started adding the third game.

Time for the Bears to go back to Trubisky and see what he can do. At least he can make plays with his legs. Make better of a bad situation at quarterback. Neither him nor Foles are the answer, but a mobile quarterback can give you better opportunities.

Edit...I posted that before he got carted off the field. I dont want to see anybody get injured to lose their job.

Yeah, Thanksgiving wouldn't be the same without The Lions and Cowboys having a game each.
I like the addition though!

Man, vikes won. I'm not even a Bears fan but I sure think the league is better if the Bears are winning. Too bad that doesn't happen very often this century...

Lmao those guys are probably living it up in their mansions laughing at the Bears. I find it interesting that the Bears have never had a hall of fame quarterback... Such a cursed franchise. They really need to trade everything for the number 1 pick to get Trevor.

Yup :o
It looks like FOLES might be done for the year I've heard locally. Needless to say I've found the Bears to be one of the most disappointing teams in the entire NFL this year.

The Bears problems aren't only the QB problem>> the Bears have so many fundamental problems they just are not addressing. I'm afraid their year is probably over. Horrible loss tonight :(

Well it's been a surprising and most interesting year in the NFL so far. There have been some surprises and a few disappointments. Three teams that have really disappointed me this year are
(1) The Bears
(2) The Ravens
(3) The Cowboys
all three of those teams should have done much better and none of them have any excuse IMO.

The three teams that have pleasantly surprised me are
(1) The Dolfins
(2) The Browns
(3) The Cardinals
I didn't expect any of those teams to be where they are. I do believe there are going to be some surprises come playoff time as well.

Mac I think the Bear's problems go far deeper than the QB performance. Their defense this year is not what it was last year and it just doesn't seem like everyone is on the same page.

Now coach Matt Nagy is a disciple of Andy Reid and I do think he's been a good coach for the Bears. But there is a problem within their system for sure.

Hey Gang!! I know that spare time is a precious commodity for many of us. But after watching this old game ( or at least the highlights) from years gone by I must admit that it is one of thee most brutal football games I ever witnessed. And I encourage all of you to check it out.

Saturday Night I got to watch an old NFL game on Youtube from 1984. It was the 84 Chicago Bears vs the L.A. Raiders. There were like 4 Quarterbacks taken out of the game>> even the Raiders literally ran out of QBs and wanted to put in Ray Guy their punter>> but it was so horrible that he refused to go in :eek:

There were so many horrible injuries in this game it amazes me that they completed it :eek: . You can either watch the full game ( which I did) or they have a highlights video of that game and I'm here to tell you all that it isn't for anyone with a weak stomach. It is truly THEE MOST BRUTAL NFL GAME I EVER SEEN! The Chicago Bears were truly The MONSTERS OF THE MIDWAY in 84 & 85.

I'll bet so!! I'll check that out when I can
I remember a great game when I was a kid, was Miami vs San Diego- I'll bet you remember that game JD
Both teams were just exhausted. I think it was 1981
The Chargers had Dan Fouts and the Dolphins had David Woodley if I'm not mistaken and Kellen Winslow?
At any rate, awesome game....

Is that the game where they played when it was about 20 below Zero? That poor Dan Fouts really paid the hard way for a lot of his success. To me it's a horrible shame that they never could put a good defense around Dan Fouts. I always wanted to see a Chargers-Cowboys Superbowl back in those days>> but it never happened.

But folks I'm not kidding about that 1984 game between The Chicago Bears and the L.A. Raiders. The carnage in that game was brutal beyond belief. And like I said the Raiders ran out of Quarterbacks :eek: And Marc Wilson was one tough dude and they beat him to a living pulp. That's when the 85 Bears legendary defense was born was in that game :cool:

Well I forgot when I predicted another Antonio Brown meltdown. But a neighbor of mine at lunch today just told me that AB is being a bad boy again :eek: And what I heard that he allegedly did was so juvenile that I just held my head. So why does that not surprise me? I predicted that he would get into trouble again at the beginning. Lord Brady was not using his head on that one.

But if the Buccanneers were smart they would let him go ASAP. This is not going to get better. This is a disaster in the making :(

I didn't even bat .500 this last week. This is just getting outrageous. I'm kicking them one week and the next week I'm back to eating crow again :o . Good thing I've got plenty of Lea & Perrin's Worscestershire Sauce to make that Crow go down easier :o . OK it's Week # 11 already and I'm going to either further humiliate myself or I'm going to look like I'm on top.
Cardinals over Seahawks ( The Seahawks really looked flat this past week)
Bengals over WASH ( I'm starting to believe in Joe Burrow, at least he's got a great name huh :D )
Saints over Falcons ( Brees is hitting on 8 cylinders, should be an easy one for him)
Steelers over Jaguars ( It seems that the Steelers have had some easy games this year)
Patriots over Texans ( The Texans better not Make Romeo Crennel Their Head Coach!! :mad: )
Browns over the Eagles ( The Eagles need to give up on Wentz, I gave up on him long ago)
Panthers over Lions ( Teddy Bridgewater will win this one)
Ravens over the Titans ( It's just "Do Or Die" for both teams at this point)
Chargers over the Jets ( Justin Herbert is the real deal, easy game for the Bolts)
Dolfins over the Broncos ( Flores has the Dolfins on their way up the charts)
Vikings over the Cowboys ( This would be a good upset pick but the Cowboys have burned me too bad this season)
Packers over the Colts ( Aaron Rogers won't lose this one)
Chiefs over the Raiders ( I think the Chiefs are going to take this one personally, reignite the old rivalry!!)
Rams over the Bucs ( I was really impressed with the Rams this past week, They will prevail)
