[Ekirh]

1. STUPID REFS!

They are so going to blow a call in the coming quarters. . . and it's going to piss me off!!!!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

2. ROFL!!

:rofl::rofl:

You forgot the :grr: smilie, though.

[GOPisEvil]

3. First team to 10 points wins!

:D

[Ekirh]

56. Going by that theory

The Panters are now the winners.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

4. Okay, now this isn't JUST a thread....

It's an OFFICIAL thread. So THERE. :P :P

[JVS]

5. I guess I'll watch, which network?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

7. FOX, I believe....

:D

[JVS]

10. It should be a relaxing change of pace

[WritingIsMyReligion]

14. LOL---

I thought the Colts/Steelers game would do that for me after the Pats' thrashing last night, but.... :D :D

You never know...

[Ekirh]

6. Unlike the previous game

Both teams promise to show up on time.

[fishwax]

8. I'll be back to watch it later

gotta run some errands now (and calm myself down after the early game :))

[WritingIsMyReligion]

9. Hehehe....

Have fun! :hi:

[HEyHEY]

11. Go Bearsssssss

[WritingIsMyReligion]

13. Yup. Go Beaaaaaaars!

[GOPisEvil]

12. 42 degrees? WTF?! No global warming my ass!

:P

[WritingIsMyReligion]

15. Hehehe, yeah.

:P

[bullwinkle428]

22. It's 50 degrees here, about 150 miles directly west of Chicago! (n/t)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

16. Whoa....In the EZ, but penalty.....

[GOPisEvil]

17. WOW!!! Touchdown already!!!!

:wow:

[Ekirh]

18. Just like that

First Touch down of the game.

[vikegirl]

19. Daylight come

and ya gotta Delhomme! :-)

[Ekirh]

23. Oh Dear God

That pun was bad. I can't stand to BEAR it.

[vikegirl]

24. Blame Berman

That's all I think when I hear his name from now on. :p

[MrSlayer]

20. Nice. TD Smith.

Roll right over these frauds.

[Ekirh]

26. Gee,

Tell us what you really think about the Bears ;).


Actually, you don't have to I'll just take a wild guess.

[MrSlayer]

41. Smith is a beast.

Stole it right away.

[Ekirh]

42. Damn straight . . .

If he wants the damn ball . . he'll take the damn ball ;).

[WritingIsMyReligion]

21. Touchdown Panthers.

That was very quick.

7-zip.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

25. Okay, Bears.

Let's do something! :D

[WritingIsMyReligion]

27. Wow. Good field position, Panthers.

This is certainly moving fast..

[WritingIsMyReligion]

28. We're so quiet this game...

:D

[Ekirh]

29. Regaining energy

From Fourth Quarter. . .

also eating pizza :).

[WritingIsMyReligion]

31. Lucky.

I get store-bought turkey for dinner, I think...

:D

[vikegirl]

30. the last game

sucked the life out of me.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

32. Wiped me out, too,

and I didn't have any investment in it. :D ;)

[Ekirh]

33. Still watching. .

Just not much to say :).

[GOPisEvil]

34. Huh? Wha? A Bears first down?

[Ekirh]

35. Nice Pressure

BUT .. look like penalty. . .

[GOPisEvil]

36. Yay - time for the replay booth!

:eyes:

[vikegirl]

37. Challange? n/t

[Ekirh]

38. Catch and Fumble.

Touchdown! And I figured there would be a challenge on this.

[GOPisEvil]

39. Playing "Double Vision" during the replay - how original.

:eyes:

[Ekirh]

40. Down by Contact N/T

[MrSlayer]

43. 10-0.

Any more points for the Panthers and you can put it in the books. The Bears have very little offense.

[Ekirh]

44. Thread

is dropping to far.. so I bring it back up :).

10-0 like Mr. Slayer said.

[MrSlayer]

45. Horsecollar out of bounds tackle.

And no flag. Nice play though.

[GOPisEvil]

46. OK, that was fucking impressive.

Nice interception. Wow.

[MrSlayer]

47. Intercepted.

Nice pick.

[MrSlayer]

48. Nice punter.

That guy sucks.

[GOPisEvil]

50. He's been punting like a noodle leg all game.

Man, I'd like to cash one pay check like his. Fucking kick the ball like you know what you're doing.

[Ekirh]

49. Wall of Wind. .

and Good Field Position for Panthers.

[GOPisEvil]

51. Damn lucky break for Foster on the fumble.

[MrSlayer]

52. Nice recovery.

Whew.

[MrSlayer]

53. 13-0 Carolina. 38 yard field goal.

[Ekirh]

Carolina's building a decent lead

13-0. . good job.

[MrSlayer]

55. Chicago can't score.

They have no offense to speak of.

[Ekirh]

57. Full agreement

And if they have any offense hidden away . . they must of hid it a little to well cause it seems they can't find it.

[GOPisEvil]

54. The Bears had better start showing me something.

I'm sure there's something else I can waste my Sunday with.

[MrSlayer]

58. Wow they actually completed a pass.

How about that.

[MrSlayer]

59. Three in a row now. In the red zone.

[Ekirh]

60. And they are close to the endzone

I don't know. . . maybe we have a game here.

Well still time for a fumble or an interception.

[MrSlayer]

61. I would say go for it here.

But the running game is getting stuffed.

[SeattleGirl]

62. Agreed.

Down 13-zip, they might as well.

[Ekirh]

63. SOOO close

Good job by Carolina to keep him out of the endzone.

To go for it or not. Oh what the hell, give it a shot.

[Ekirh]

64. They go for it and. . . .

TOUCHDOWN!

[MrSlayer]

65. Touchdown Bears.

We may yet have a game here.

[MrSlayer]

66. Nice moves by Smith.

Dude is a great player.

[Ekirh]

67. DAMN!

Thought we were going to have another T.D there.

[MrSlayer]

68. Wow that should have been interference.

He was gripped up before the ball got there.

[vikegirl]

69. agreed

I don't think the defender was even looking at the ball

[MrSlayer]

72. A little home cooking for the Bears.

The home teams are getting the calls this week.

[MrSlayer]

70. 16-7 Panthers.

Kasey with a 37 yarder.

[Ekirh]

71. HALFTIME!

16-7. Good job Carolina in the first half.

[Gato Moteado]

73. ok....bears need to put it together in the 2nd half

i thought that awesome pick by uhrlacher was going to turn the game around. they should have been able to hold them at the end of the half from getting 3 more.

come on bears.

[Ekirh]

74. Second Half

And a good start by the bears.

[MrSlayer]

75. Bears are moving it again.

A little raggy but moving it.

[vikegirl]

76. I thought he was still in the pocket

:shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

83. He left the pocket and returned.

Once you leave, you're gone.

[MrSlayer]

77. Nice catch, better hit.

Bam!

[fishwax]

78. Touchdown Bears!

[fishwax]

79. I tuned in just in time for it to get interesting

:)

[MrSlayer]

80. Touchdown Bears.

We have a game folks.

[vikegirl]

81. finally picking up!

[MrSlayer]

82. 16-14 Panthers.

[Gato Moteado]

84. all right......

....time for some more defense

[MrSlayer]

85. Uh Oh. Foster is down.

Looks like a knee or a hip injury.

[MrSlayer]

87. Carted off. Possible broken ankle.

That's a tough loss.

[GOPisEvil]

86. The Bears have no answer for Steve Smith right now.

They had better figure something out.

[vikegirl]

88. I'm definitely going to try

to draft Smith next year for FF!

[MrSlayer]

89. Got to catch that ball.

Bad drop.

[Fox Mulder]

90. I'm watching it.

Couldn't care less who wins, though.

[MrSlayer]

91. Bears ball. Long field to go.

The momentum seems to have switched. Let's see how the defense reacts.

[MrSlayer]

92. A half decent punt for once.

Good field position for Carolina.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

93. It's a 2 pt game (albeit still the 3rd)

and Mr 'pede has fallen asleep on the sofa. Shall I wake him?

[vikegirl]

94. what a catch!!

[Ekirh]

95. Steve Smith with the catch

and first down . . nice catch.

[MrSlayer]

96. Smith is having a field day out there.

Closing on 200 yards.

[vikegirl]

97. receiver should have purposely dropped it

[vikegirl]

101. the near sack, not the TD

just to clarify :-)

[GOPisEvil]

98. No answer for Smith.

The trend continues.

[RockaFowler]

103. Smith is incredible today

Is he over 200 yards yet???

[MrSlayer]

99. Touchdown Panthers.

How the hell did he get that wide open?

[sasquatch]

100. Touchdown Panthers

:wow:
Boy I didn't see that coming.

[MrSlayer]

102. 23-14 Panthers.

Smith is on fire.

[Dave Sund]

104. FOX: New Home of the BCS

Someone needs to clue FOX in to the amazing ratings CBS gets for the NCAA Basketball Tournament, and NCAA officials in to the huge amount of money CBS pays for that tournament. ABC seemed to have a vested interest in pissing all over the idea of a playoff. Maybe FOX will be more open to it?

[MrSlayer]

105. Bears on the move again.

Defensive battle becomes shootout?

[MrSlayer]

106. Peppers down now. Looked like Jones fumbled into the end zone.

Should be a touchback.

[MrSlayer]

108. They have to challenge this play.

He fumbled into the end zone.

[GOPisEvil]

107. A TOUCHDOWN?!?!?!?!?!?!

Are these fucking officials fucking blind?!?!?!?!?

Bad...BAD day for the zebras in both games. Just horrid.

[Ekirh]

110. I'm so glad

I did my pre-emptive STUPID REF post earlier. . . cause it applies to this.

[MrSlayer]

113. It's unbelievable how bad these refs are.

If they call this a TD after the replay I'm done watching. It's too ridiculous.

[MrSlayer]

111. They've been horrible all weekend.

This should be a touchback.

[Dave Sund]

112. It won't be a touchback

Personal foul on Carolina guarantees that Chicago keeps the ball.

[MrSlayer]

116. Yes.

Getting ahead of myself.

[vikegirl]

114. well, NFL refs are nothing

but if consistent

[SeattleGirl]

115. I have NEVER seen something like that called a touchdown!

If tossing the ball to the ground in the endzone qualifies as a touchdown, the QB could just throw the damned ball into the endzone from 20 yards out and call it good.

[Dave Sund]

109. That's not a touchdown

Clearly. But the challenge will only give Chicago the ball back at the one, because of the facemask.

[Ekirh]

117. It's a Touchdown now N/T

[SeattleGirl]

118. Okay, now THAT's a touchdown.

Sheesh!

[MrSlayer]

119. Touchdown Bears. 23-21 Panthers.

[MrSlayer]

120. Nice return. Panthers need to score again.

Keep the pressure on.

[MrSlayer]

121. Smith does it all.

Hell of a run. I wonder if he can throw.

[GOPisEvil]

123. I expect to see him kicking soon.

[GOPisEvil]

126. Should have let Smith kick. He'd have made it.

[MrSlayer]

128. I wouldn't doubt it.

He seems to do everything well.

[MrSlayer]

122. Blasting right on through. 1st and Goal Panthers.

[GOPisEvil]

124. Man, that #86 has hands of stone.

He almost dropped that one.

[MrSlayer]

127. I thought he was a bit overthrown.

Had to really reach for it.

[MrSlayer]

125. Touchdown Carolina. Missed the PAT. 29-21 Carolina.

1 yard pass to the TE. Almost overthrown.

[MrSlayer]

129. Three and out. Here comes the great punter.

[DS1]

130. They'd better wrap this shit up before 8

:D

[GOPisEvil]

132. Not gonna happen.

8:00 my time, no problem.

[DS1]

134. And what's the deal with the 2 minute warning anyway?

You think any of the coordinators forget what time it is?

[hiaasenrocks]

137. All about $$$. It gives the network another commercial break. n/t

[DS1]

144. Really?

That's disgusting if so

[hiaasenrocks]

150. Well, you're talking to a cynic. :)

But I do think that's the case. I can't think of any other reason why it would be necessary.

[MrSlayer]

131. Nice kick. Long field for the Bears again.

I think it's safe to say the Bears must score here.

[Ekirh]

133. Good run

The question now is if Chicago gets the T.D should they go for two . . or should they risk just an extra point in hopes of getting the ball one more time?

Edit: I guess the amount of time left on the clock when they score will answer that.

[MrSlayer]

135. How the hell does Buckner get holding calls on running plays?

Very bad.

[GOPisEvil]

139. Probably keeping the O-linemen from scraping off to get to the LBs.

Not a good thing, breaking these rules.

[MrSlayer]

140. Haha! True.

[hiaasenrocks]

136. Being from South Carolina, I guess I should be

going for the Panthers?

I know, they're based in Charlotte, NC. But they did play their first season in South Carolina, in Clemson's football stadium. I'm not a huge fan of pro football. Ah well.

But, ummm, go Panthers? :)

[MrSlayer]

138. Carolina seems to be trying to give it away here.

Stupid penalties kill you.

[SeattleGirl]

142. Yeah, but the Bears are giving it right back to 'em

Oy!

[MrSlayer]

141. Picked off! But that shouldn't have been a play.

Should have been delay of game.

[vikegirl]

143. zebras miss another one

[MrSlayer]

145. Two minute warning. Carolina has possession.

Ball at their own 31.

[MrSlayer]

146. Big defensive stop there. 1:54 left.

Loss of 4.

[MrSlayer]

147. Smith finally makes a mistake.

Should have stayed outside there, he might have been gone.

[MrSlayer]

148. Here's the game. Bears' ball at their own 20. 1:36 left. No timeouts.

[Ekirh]

149. Bears are down to their last moments

They better do something with a dash of miracle sprinkled over it.

[MrSlayer]

151. 1:00 left. 3rd and 5. Bears on their own 36.

[vikegirl]

152. Carolina on downs!

[MrSlayer]

153. Turnover on downs. Panthers will win.

Barring a miracle.

[GOPisEvil]

154. That will do it. #54 made a nice tackle on the Bears' TE play previous.

Congratulations to the Panthers. Bears had a really, really good season. Rex Grossman showed me something today. He has a future.

[MrSlayer]

157. That's Witherspoon.

Who the Eagles should target in free agency this year.

[Ekirh]

155. So long, farewell, GOOD BYE!!!!!!

Congrats Panthers... good luck against the Seahawks.

[MrSlayer]

156. Carolina 29 Chicago 21 Final.

[TheMightyFavog]

158. They lost? I feel like a song....

How many times must we take this disgrace
Another Bears fan throwing insults in our face
The Packers are the greatest team to ever play the game
Even if from time to time they've been a little lame

How could you ever love a team with Jim McMahon
Not even Porky Pig was as big a ham
They got a reputation that's mostly based on luck
The Bears…Still…Suck

The Bears still suck, the Bears still suck
The Bears still suck, the Bears still suck
They really really really really really really suck
Yes the Bears…Still…Suck

If you drive to Soldier Field they make you pay a toll
For cripes sake they only won one lousy Super Bowl
They make fun of Wisconsin, but we don't get upset
Where do you think that they're all headed every chance they get

We don't really hold a grudge 'cause this is all in fun
As far as football rivalries we're both number one
Still we wouldn't mind seeing Ditka run over by a truck
'Cause the Bears…Still…Suck

The Bears still suck, the Bears still suck
The Bears still suck, the Bears still suck
They really really really really really really suck
Yes the Bears…Still…Suck

(All the ladies now) The Bears still suck, the Bears still suck
The Bears still suck, the Bears still suck
They really really really really really really suck
Yes the Bears…Still…Suck

(Everybody now) The Bears still suck, the Bears still suck
The Bears still suck, the Bears still suck
They really really really really really really suck
Yes the Bears…Still…Suck…HEY !!



That. Felt. Good!

[libnnc]

159. Go Panthers!!!

Seattle here we come!!!
:party: :toast: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

161. We'll be waitin' for you!

:bounce: :toast: :party: :toast: :bounce:

[DS1]

160. Ok, NOW GET THE FUCK OFF THE TEEVEE!

I don't need to see the plays I just saw, all over again, in slo-mo while your squad of football washouts rambles on about them.

[rockymountaindem]

162. Can I nominate this post?

I know exactly how you feel. It's like "no thanks, the first four angles were good enough".
