The niners lost to arizona yesterday. at this level, every single victory is earned.
It's a lot easier to go 7-1 when you play mediocre teams or teams without their starting QB AND star RB.

it takes a lack of perspective of how good nfl players really are to degrade the broncos for winning 7 of 8 games.

there is a major difference between the best of the best of the best in the world (NFL players) and the cheap crap Zenyatta was racing against in California.

Unfortunately, you dont have to go through high school, college, the combine and the draft to enter in synthetic Grade 1 races.

Simple question since you totally avoided my post where I broke down the teams Timmy (by himself apparently) has beaten....Are the Chicago Bears a better team with Cutler and Forte or without them?

I mean this whole thing is ridiculous. No sh.it the NFL has the best players in the world. What does that have to do with anything? Some are better than others. Some teams are better than others. Is a win against the Packers the same as beating the Colts right now? Of course not. But by your logic, it is because of how good NFL players are.

I love the rooting against him nonsense too. Who's rooting against him here? I hope they win out because I am frothing at the mouth to bet against them first round in the playoffs. Not because I dislike Timmy, but because I think they are a team whose record looks a lot better than it should because of who they have played and the circumstances in those games.

It's no different than betting against a horse that you think has dressed up form. You don't dislike the horse, connections, etc. You have looked at the race and concluded (right or wrong) that the horse looks better than it really is.

I agree with this. They are the KC of this year, when they get into the playoffs against a good team, they will be exposed on both sides of the ball.

Its really no different then how lucky the Bears got last year playing a bunch of 3rd string QB's in a row.

Yesterday was ridiculous and according to Tebow's pastor, it was because of God (See TMZ for story).

More importantly....Hulk Hogan's wife is alleging Hulk and Brutus the Barber Beefcake had a sexual relationship? I'm so out of the loop.

by himself? You apparently don't read because all I've said is the defense is the best part of the team.

The breakdown you did was just excuse after excuse. it didnt deserve a reply.

No, the Bears are obviously better with Cutler and Forte. But Caleb Hanie didnt play that bad. Barber ran for over 100 yards and one TD. sure, he made two bonehead plays.. but Forte could have fumbled just like Barber. Tebow still threw for 160 plus yards at the end of the game. I didnt see Urlacher hurt so you cant make an excuse for that either.


by my logic 7-1 is great in the NFL no matter who you play. Its funny.. all of the talking heads on ESPN and NFL network stopped using the competition arguement because they know its dumb. But nerdy trail analysts are smarter than former players and coaches obviously.

I think of all the crazy last minutes stuff he has been involved in, I think this win was the least about Tebow and the most about the game being in Denver ( I'm sorry..you don't airmail 70 yeard field goals anywhere else), the horrible coverage played by the Bears (Curtis Painter could have completed those) and yes, the incredible stupidity of one Marion Barber. I'll reluctantly give Tebow his due for Minnesota and maybe, maybe even the Jets (it would be more credit worthy if he had returned Sanchez's pick for a TD himself) but yesterday was not about Tebow rather than everything else.

Weird, I thought you avoided it because you couldn't (and still can't) refute it. Silly me.

I get it though. You want to be able to have it both ways. It's okay to focus on the good (winning) but god forbid you actually dig a little deeper and look at reasons why it might have happened.

It wasn't the Bears losing the game (which is what all of those brilliant former players and coaches have been saying all day) it was the Timmy's winning it. Barber running out of bounds inexplicably in the 4th wasn't a big deal (despite Timmy saying in the post game conference that it was) because before that he had played well. And the fumble wasn't a big deal because Forte could have done it also.

The amazing thing is you were okay with diminishing Zenyatta because of competition, but you don't think the same litmus test should be applied to the Timmy's. Funny how that works.
