Going on the record for tonight's game

by ericj69 on Nov 12, 2009 4:40 PM CST Comment 35 comments

I'm running my NFL picks column for tomorrow, but I wanted to make sure everyone knows my pick for tonight's game between the 49ers and Bears. So here it is:

49ERS over Bears: Sure, the Niners have lost four in a row--beware the Curse of Crabtree! But with all respect to the Packers' sorry excuse for an offensive line, the Bears o-line is one of the worst in the league. Looks like their gamble on the corpse of Orlando Pace didn't work out so much. Jeff George, er, I mean Jay Cutler has been erratic at best and he treats a pass rush about as well as the kid that passed out in the spelling bee a few years back. It also doesn't help that the Bears D has more holes than Spongebob's c*ck. I see Frank Gore and Vernon Davis blowing up tonight, and not just because I'm starting them both on one of my fantasy teams. I swear.

Check back tomorrow afternoon for my analysis of ~~Jared Allen's deflowering of Matthew Stafford~~ the Vikings' upcoming clash against the Lions along with the rest of my Week 10 NFL picks.

Hard game to call

because of the inconsistency of both teams. I’ll go along with you and pick the 49er because of the homefield advantage.

I laughed.

… and I told my wife…

She said you could have stopped with ‘Spongebob’…

I’m glad you didn’t!!

I BELIEVE...

I debated on including that last word

But decided it was necessarily to really drive the point home. :)

Tonight's Over/Under on times Lovie Smith

Looks like he is:
A) About to Cry
B) About ready to throw an atrocious challenge
C) Looks clueless after a big 49er’s play
D) Wishes it were 2006.

12 is the number. Taking all bets that I will neither accept nor honor.

I'll go over on C.

This guy always looks lost..lol

But wait...

All those faces look roughly the same. Doesn’t this picture look like “All of the above”?

Congrats

This is the picture that I was referring to.

Those Taking the Over Definitely Won

Lovie looked shocked all night long.

by Belarus on Nov 13, 2009 7:29 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs

Only three a quarter?

He’ll have half a dozen in the 4th quarter. I’ll take the over.

My Prediction:

Lovie Smith tries to get Mike Singletary to play for the Bears tonight, because a 5-something Singletary is better than just about anything the Bears currently field.

Singletary’s response:

CAN’T DO IT!!

From watching this game so far

I certainly wouldn’t trade Favre for Jay Cutler.

And I might not trade Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels for him, either.

You kidding me?

Jay Cutler is making Brad Johnson look like Favre.

A tale of two QBs

Funny you would make the Favre Cutler link when their 49ers game came down to the the end just like ours did, except Favre found one of our receivers in the endzone and Cutler found a receiver for the other team.

Cutler was so offended by McDaniels going after Cassel his fragile psyche hasn’t recovered. He’s damaged goods.

A good coach makes his team better, he doesn’t wait for a better team to make him look good.

lol except,

favre didn’t throw 4 INT’s before that last play, whether that last play was good or bad.

I piss people off on a fairly regular basis. I cherish my right to speak my mind, whether I sound like an uneducated savage or not. I've never been accused of keeping what I think a secret, nor will I ever. Don't like it? I don't care.

5 INTs!!

Cutler blows. Good Win SF, and Thank You!

You're looking pretty smart right now, eric. Good pick.

5 interception performance by the biggest QB bust since… since… nah I got nuthin. I will say this:
BAHAHAHAHAHA!

Purple is the new black.

Loss #1 for the week, as hoped for...

Next comes Green Bay and Detroit turns at taking another L…hahahahahahahahahaha!

How sorry is Chicago? Sorrier than Detroit…..

That says it all…..

I am amending my split games prediction ref Chicago/Vikings….

We will take both of the games….

I would rather be IN the Arena than watching from the stands...That is my life!

Wow, what a beautifully horrid game to watch

The Berribles are quite possibly more over rated than Windows 7. And they perform about as well as Vista 1.0

That's got to be all she wrote for the Bears

What a flop after all the preseason hype.

by Belarus on Nov 13, 2009 7:26 AM CST reply actions 0 recs

Sure I got the game right

But I’ll never get those 3.5 hours back of watching awful football. Good gracious Cutler can be terrible when he wants to be. I’ll take the big heaping dose of shadenfreude!!

by ericj69 on Nov 13, 2009 8:30 AM CST reply actions 0 recs

Yeah, that was some unwatchable football

It was like watching a 2006 Vikings game, lol. But at his worst I don’t think TJ looked that bad. TJ has made some bad decisions, but he at least has the intelligence to throw the ball into the third row if nothing’s there. Cutler…yikes.

I've picked

the Bears the past two weeks. Terrible, I know, but here’s to me picking the Bears every game from here on out. It’s the TV83 curse!!!

Needed more penalties

While that was the most inspirational football game ever played, if they only had more penalties called, it would have been perfect.

by medicineball on Nov 13, 2009 8:54 AM CST reply actions 0 recs

Don't cha just Lovie it.

Da Bears can’t get out of their own way. 5 interceptions & they lose by 4 points. I don’t think either team wanted to win. I’m glad the 9ers won but holy crap 5 interceptions. They should have won by 3 TD’s

Everybody's a target for blame over at WCG...

Others have called it a funeral… that’s pretty close, except at a funeral, somebody says a few good things about the deceased.

I BELIEVE...

by ArizonaVikingsFan on Nov 13, 2009 11:41 AM CST reply actions 1 recs

all they really have left over there is talking about how terrible and pathetic we Vikings fans are. According to WCG we are all illiterate bastards. I find it rather amusing. I’ve posted over there a number of times and always act intelligent and cordial (meaning I try not to be the a-hole I am around here, haha… [sorry fellas, I still love you all, I swear]) regardless of what guys like brands have done over here.

Doesn’t it feel so good watching Cutler and Pace completely flop this season?

Cutler yes, Pace no

Big OSU fan, and I am a big fan of Orlando Pace. Met him at the airport here in St Louis once, and he was a very nice guy. I had wished he had hung it up, because I actually feel bad for him. He was so dominating for so long, and time and injuries have just caught up to him.

I wish him well.
