Bears Win! Incredible!
Yes...

Now, Joe Theisman, shut up about how awesome Matt Leinart is and how he's the next QB Golden Boy...

6 turnover by IR Grossman?!? and you win! Simply stated: Defense and Special Teams matter.

1. Great win by the Bears
Champions find a way to win. Theisman predicted Bears would go undefeated.

2. You're blaming or denouncing Matt Leinart?
That's the definition of incredible. Even when the Bears took the fluke lead Leinart marched the Cardinals downfield for a winning FG attempt.

Devin Hester is a great example of Larry Coker idiocy as Canes coach. The guy has game breaking ability yet Coker never used him properly. I wasn't surprised at all when he shot up the draft boards and was picked in the second round.

6. No my comment was directed at Theisman
and how throughout the Broadcast he specifically stated Leinart is the next Tom Brady. 3 games and 2 starts does not make Leinart Tom Brady.

But, btw, Leinart can eat it anyway.

13. Fluke lead?
6-0 is no fluke...and yes, I know all the arguments that it's been a weak schedule.

It's hardly a fluke that the Bears have a strong defense.

The fluke in this game was how poorly the Bears offense played.

3. This is the Cardinals franchise in a nutshell.
The Cardinals have to be one of the most pathetic franchises in the history of professional sports. Only the Cardinals could lose a 20 point lead, despite forcing 6 turnovers and not allowing a defensive touchdown.

4. Leinart was fabulous.
Kicker pushes it two feet the other way and everybody would be saying how amazing it was that Leinart led his team to a winning score.

Total props to the Bears D though. That was amazing.

5. Thanks, I just remembered I needed to add that to my list
Note to self, to win against a good team, you must beat the other team, out smart the zebras and make sure kicker stays on sideline :argh:


I tuned into watch the Bears plow over Arizona but got to see how a fabulous QB can make a good team look great. One thing to be sure this is not the last we have seen of that kid who looks like he came straight out of Hollywood. Sequel movies are sometimes even better in latter episodes.

Leinart is a dude you can bank on, you can see it in his eyes, read it on his face and feel it the determination about way he carries himself. You can't teach that particular kind of ethos, they are born with it.

7. These are the types of games that get coaches fired.
Arizona lost focus in the fourth quarter. And they should have attempted the field goal on third down. I'm not taking anything away from the Bears -- they just capitalized on Arizona's mistakes. And those have to fall squarely on the shoulders of the head coach.

8. Someone should tell James to shut his trap also
Wines about how he needs the ball in the last quarter and then coughs it x(

12. Green fired the offensive coordinator
If it goes bad again the only guy left he can fire is himself :think:

It's a bad idea playing Russian Roulette with the Raiders up next , that is like daring the Raiders to win

10. Bears are something else this year
At least they're a Great Lakes team.

11. Down with New York , Go teams from the Great Lakes.
Go Tigers! It was so awesome to see them dominate the New York Satans. And it was so horrible listening to the ESPN announcers proclaiming how great the Yankees (I mean Satans) bats are and at any moment they were going to wake up and crush the Tigers.

Now if only the Cards can defeat the Mets.
