Houston has said bye-bye to injury prone CB Patrick Buchanon, and the only thing less than sincere about Gary Kubiak’s comments at KHOU.com is the part where the coach says “we wish him well.”
Da Bears trail the Cardinals, 23-17, with about 3 minutes remaining in Phoenix. Brian Urlacher has gone kinda nuts in the 4th quarter to make a game of it, and imagine how effective he’d be if he was beating up on someone bigger than high school kids?
(UPDATE : Bears 24, Cardinals 23. Devin Hester, no doubt inspired by all the great publicity the University Of Miami’s been getting the past 2 days, ran back a Scott Player Hater punt for what is most likely, the game winning TD.)
I know the Bears are the Best Defense In The World…Ever, but how awful was Edgerrin James? 36 carries for 55 yards is about 1.5 YPC. Considering how (generally) well the Cards’ o-line protected Leinart, it’s hard to believe that they’d be that much worse at run-blocking. I’d think even the Mets’ Edge could put up about 1.5 YPC, but of course Arizona opted (wisely, wisely) to carry Anderson Hernandez for his special teams deftness.
Also, I’ll admit this: if I didn’t have work to do tonight, there’s no reason why I would’ve been watching/caring about this game, right down to saying “make it, kid,” before Neil Rackers (who is my age, and thus no kid) shizanked his kick.
lucky for da bears they weren’t playing an nfl team or else they would’ve been in real trouble.
Crown their ass!
By “it” Mr. Roth means “a nice chunky divot in the retractable Glendale earth.” Right right.
