Last year the Titans met the Steelers in game 15 with the winner becoming the #1 seed in the AFC. Tennesse demolished the Steelers 31-14. In that game Defensive linemen Albert Haynesworth, Kyle Vandenbosch and Vickerson did NOT dress for the Titans. The latter two will start on Thursday.
Only reason the Titans got edged and upset 13-10 by Ravens in playoffs was in effect 5 turnovers all in the red zone getting no points each time(plus Chris Johnson got hurt).
Hard to give 6 points which means Steelers must win by a TD over such a team.
Hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. Pittsburgh is not even as good as Tennessee as was proven last year. But Tennessee just like they did in the Baltimore playoff game killed themselves with one mistake after another. An excellent FG kicker missing an easy FG and then not being to elevate it over the line for a 2nd miss which completely determined the course of the game and the outcome on its own. But add to that Fisher cutting competant punt returner Mark Jones this week and using Finnegan who has not returned punts for several years since college and he proceeds to allow the first 2 Pittsburgh punts to roll 20 yards form the 30 to put Titans in a hole each time and lose 40 yards worth of field position. Then on next punt calls for a fair catch on his own 5 yardline and fumbles it but lucks out and falls on it. Why on earth would you call for a fair catch on your own 5 let alone try to field it? Then he calls for a fair catch again on the 5 for the next punt but calls it too early and refs don't call it so he gets hit. But again why try to catch it on your own 5 but NOT your 30? Then in final 2 minutes, from his own 30 or so the punter hentrich comes through with a 28 yard punt when there was no way the steelers should have with their 1 timeout left had any chance of even later fumbling ball in scoroing territory. Titans d-line like last year completely outclassed pittsburgh's o-line. pittsburgh had trouble all season last year with playoff calibre teams - they are no great team as media is making them out to be. |

add to that inexperienced receivers, you have the makings of a bad year. Defense did look very good until that 3 and 1 TD pass. |

Was there any doubt what was going to happen there. When they lined up I said they're going for a longy. Took Bears by surprise though. |

Look, they were underdogs and as bad as they played they were on the verge of winning the game while they had 4 turnovers to none. They totally shut down Green Bays offence while out rushing and out passing them.This team will do just fine. Once Cutler gets some experience with these receivers the Bears will be a force. I'm willing to bet anyone that the bears win at least 10 games baring a Cutler injury.

One helluva a football game.
Don't think GB can be over confident what with only a six point win after four-FOUR Bear turnovers.
They'll be on the lakefront later this year and they had better be wearing their "lucky" cheeseheads.
Heard that Urlacher has surgery scheduled for his wrist injury.
Happening today ??

Brian Urlacher out for the season with wrist injury
By Vaughn McClure
Tribune Reporter
Brian Urlacher is out for the season after dislocating his right wrist, the linebacker said Monday.
Urlacher injured his wrist in the first quarter of Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Packers. He was scheduled to undergo surgery Monday morning.
The Bears defensive co-captain and team leader entered the season healthy again coming off back and neck injuries. He had three tackles before leaving Sunday's game.
Hunter Hillenmeyer replaced Urlacher in the lineup Sunday. The Bears might have to consider moving Lance Briggs over to middle linebacker to fill Urlacher's void.

I hate to see the guy hurt like that but it does make it easier for my Giants to win the Conference now |
When will Barn To Wire finally do the right thing and ban Clockerterry & Edwarren for their continued lies, anti-American & anti-semetic statements and their general disrutpive stupidity?

Have no fear. Don't think the Bears were going to be a major obstacle with or without Urlacher. |

Yes, a good, smart & gutsy call. They had several chances to expose the Bears' secondary but didn't cash in & then they put it together on that one play. I though much of the game itself was a microcosm of week #1 around the league. Offenses played poorly in general, defenses were much better prepared. Bears fans should take solace in the fact that despite those INTs they were still very much alive before the last one. Cutler & receivers must get on the same page & Jay just took too many chances. He looked like Favre! |

It was the ghosts of Curly Lambeau and Vince Lombardi that did in Urlacker.
They were looking down when Urlacker laid that big hit on Rodgers and agreed "We got to protect our quarterback" And so ends the season for one bad bear.
It's not nice to piss off the big coaches that look after all good cheeseheads.

no it was a terrible play by vasher and the safety vasher should have been playing the ball not the man and the safety should not let anyone get behind him. you also saw cinci do similar in that denver long play yesterday. bears lost that game on their own through stupidity starting with ron turner and lovie smith who hired the bum. |

You must be one of those guys who thinks only one team gets paid to do their job & that every Bear player should play perfect 100% on every down. Very realistic. Cincy lost on a freak tipped ball. The Bears lost because of 4 ints & a faked(?) punt. Were you one of the guys who had his Cutler jersey turned inside out at halftime? Do you realize how many years the Bengals have been losing? The Chiefs? The Bills, Browns, Raiders, Lions or Niners? The Dolphins haven't been to a Super Bowl in 25 years & haven't won one in 37 years! A few years back the Rams were scoring 40 points every week & now they're getting shutout. The Lions were 0-16 last year! The Browns finally scored an offensive TD at the end of the game, their first since November 17. So go easy on the Bears - they're headed in the right direction with Cutler but it won't happen overnight. |

The Packers are switching from a 4-3 defense to a 3-4 defense under new defensive coordinator Dom Capers, one of the best defensive coordinators around.
This is turning out to be quite a joke! lol No wonder Capers can't keep a job! |
