Madden Sickens me, cant think of another running back for the bears besides Walter...How about Gale S, Or Brain P....Brain had a freaking movie made about him

 

[DarienA]

Geez every time Bettis steps down he ends up having to pick up the #1 role again...

 

[Mrbob]

Chico is going to have to chew out our scrubs tommorrow.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Poor 2nd string Bears recievers. Trying to win a job with Hutchinson throwing you the ball has to be rough.

 

[Mrbob]

Defense needs to stay healthy. Bears starting defense is a monster but the backups suck!

 

[Slo]

Seemed like Grossman was throwing off balance a lot tonight. Didn't seem like his mechanics were very good.

 

[DarienA]

Is Ricky Williams being interviewed or did they just dress up some bum as Ricky Williams?

 

[CB3]

Ricky, meet

Please form some sort of relationship

This horse-collar tackling rule is such bullshit. If a WR/RB breaks away what the fuck are defenders going to do? Oh shit, I can't do anything now or I'll be flagged for 10 yards! I better just stop and let them score!

It's not bullshit, because the rule was invented for Roy Williams and only for Roy Williams. And in the three times I know of where he injured somebody's legs by using that tackle, he was not running behind them. In fact, if you're falling behind somebody, it'd be a lot harder to do the horse collar.

edit: Ricky Williams' crackhead beard is the absolute best thing about this offseason so far.

 

[Slo]

I think it's a horse shit rule. And correction, it was created for Terrell Owens. If it was Nate Burleson that had his leg broken by Williamson, do you think the rule would be in place?

 

[Wellington]

I actually though AJ Feely looked pretty good today. If the dolphins can somehow run the ball, they will do well.

 

[Archaix]

I think it's a horse shit rule. And correction, it was created for Terrell Owens. If it was Nate Burleson that had his leg broken by Williamson, do you think the rule would be in place?

Tyrone Calico(who injured both legs so severely in the preseason that he missed the entire year) and Musa Smith (who had one of the most sickening leg injuries since Willis McGahee from it) also had their legs broken by it last year alone. If it was just Owens, it wouldn't have been made illegal.

edit: How is it that I happened upon watching all three of these games last year when I hate the Cowboys, Eagles, and Ravens(And I'm not altogether fond of the Titans)? Apparently I just love football that much. Who knew? Aside from, you know, everybody with whom I come in contact.

It wasn't just Roy Williams or the very high profile injury to Terrell Owens. Steve Smith had his leg broken opening night by the same type of tackle. I agree that the rule sucks, but there was a rash of injuries last year from the same tackle, and the league tried to address it. I think they went overboard, but TO isn't the only person who was affected by it.

 

[Mrbob]

ORTON.

 

[Archaix]

An update on how pathetic the Dolphins QB situation is: Brock Berlin could be bumped up two spots in the depth chart and there would be no noticable drop in quality.

 

[Mrbob]

He was pushed out! TD! I know this is preseason but I want this win! :lol

 

[Tamanon]

Wow.....nice backpedaling by the receiver there. :lol at Brock Berlin being the QB though.

 

[EAJAPAN]

Could I just say I loved the hit Urlacher laid down on Feely.

YES.

SABAN GOT THE BIG F U.

Beautiful.

I'd like to note Priest Holmes also got injured by a "horse-collar" tackle. I still think the rule is bullshit. Between this and the pathetic new punter contact rule, the NFL should just switch over to flag football.

Heh..knocked him right outta his shoes...that was awesome

When one defender injures three different players throughout the course of a single season so badly that they need to sit out the rest of the year, something has to be done. It wasn't just a coincidence, it was dirty play. I don't know the exact language of the rule, but if they had to be a bit general to prevent the Roy Williams play specifically from happening again, then that's how it has to be.

 

[TheDuce22]

The rule had to be implemented due to the fact that he ended soo many players seasons. Its just an unnessicary and dangerous tackle IMO, who better than the NFLs most overrated saftey to get it banned.

 

[Matrix]

ORTON.

Kids got some skillz.....THIS IS THE YEAR FOR THE BEARS! GO BEARS!

Fuck Grossman!

 

[Archaix]

You see? You see what you did? You made me agree with an Eagles fan.

That's it. Fuck you guys.

Eagles fan. Your opinion doesn't count.

And not that I don't agree there should be some sort of rule in place, but they really seem to have gone a bit overboard with it. I don't think the rule as it is will last beyond this season.

 

[Matlock]

Ricky Williams is the neckbeard god

 

[Rorschach]

Oh look, Matlock posted in an NFL topic. Now we can look forward to several of the weekly NFL topics being created by him even though he doesn't follow the sport. :rolleyes

:lol

 

[methodman]

Does madden sometimes seem to say shit again and again like you stupid or something?

"Sometimes they ahve to pass the ball to make a completion."
al - yeah thats true
"passing the ball is an important part of the game of football, passing is"
al - yeah you are so right
"when you pass the ball you can get a completion"

WTF!?

 

[samus4ever]

vick is god.

are you ready for some FOOTBALL!?!

[Wellington]

The statute of limitations has not expired on that ridiculously overly-vicious block that Jeremiah Trotter (AKA Dirtiest player in the game) laid on a punter. I think the NFL should ban him for a whole season.

 

[Slo]

Personally, I think punters should know their place and stay the hell away from the scrum.

 

[Archaix]

I'm with you there. If you don't want to get hit, then duck and cover after you punt the ball. Waive the white flag, just give up. If you're stupid enough to be jogging around in no real direction on an NFL field, you deserve to get leveled.

just what exactly do they have to celebrate about...?

2 Super Bowl appearances
0 Super Bowl Victories

For shits sake the Cincinnati Bengals have done that :lol . They should not have wasted their time on the Eagles and chose a team that has some rich history and lots to celebrate about, such as ....

gota love that Steeler defense

Hines Ward touchdown, mocking the Eagles with their own TD celebration :lol :lol

Sorry if I went overboard, im just sick and tired of hearing about the Eagles.

 

[SyNapSe]

wow @ Ricky Williams last night

"So, Ricky why did you decide to come back.."

<Long pause with a thoughtful gleam in Ricky's eyes>

"..... ..... uhh, I don't know."

:lol At least lie man, c'mon! I did it for the love of the game! I was heartbroken after realizing just how much I had let my team down!

"This time it's personal."

http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/8713841

WESTMINSTER, Md. -- It's shortly after practice, and Baltimore middle linebacker Ray Lewis isn't interested in talking about the Ravens' "46" defense, its impact on him or its impact on opponents. What he wants discuss is where he's headed, and for the moment, it's not toward the legions of spectators clamoring for autographs.

Lewis will accommodate them, but not before he first gets something off his chest.

"You know what I expect from myself this year?" he said, stopping to towel off his face. "MVP of the league. Not defensive MVP. MVP of the league. If I don't come away with MVP of the league it's highway robbery."

Someone alert the sheriff's patrol because there are a couple of things Ray Lewis should know before we proceed here: 1.) A defensive player hasn't won the award since linebacker Lawrence Taylor in 1986, and 2.) every recipient since Taylor has been either a running back or quarterback.

Lewis shrugs. He likes his chances.

"It's going to be the first time (in a long time) a defensive player wins the MVP," he said, "so watch me."

Yes, Lewis can do it all, despite reports to the contrary. There was some loose talk last season that Lewis lost a step -- at least, that's what Lewis and coach Brian Billick insist they read -- and some of it was based on a Monday night performance against Kansas City, where cameras caught Pro Bowl guard Will Shields riding Lewis out of a play.

It's a touchy subject, with Lewis pointing out that he and then-linebackers coach Mike Singletary reviewed the videotape and found him solo blocked only twice. But it didn't matter. The damage was done. TV uncovered evidence of Kryptonite in Baltimore that evening, and Lewis suffered for it.

Now, one season later, it's payback time. Lewis is fixed on proving the skeptics wrong, and you had better believe him here because coordinator Rex Ryan's "46" defense is perfectly suited to his seek-and-destroy abilities.

"He was a great player in a 3-4 defense," said Ryan, "and he was the best middle linebacker in the league the past couple of years. But if you had Dick Butkus and you played him in a 3-4, it would be a waste. You want him free to run and hit so when that back cuts back, Ray Lewis is there."

So far, the results aren't just encouraging; they're frightening. In Baltimore's scrimmage against Washington on Saturday, Lewis was everywhere, producing four tackles, one sack and one deflected pass in 15 snaps. It was Lewis at his best, and it offered a glimpse into what may be in store for opposing clubs.

"This defense," said Billick, "suits Ray Lewis better than any defense we've ever run."

Think about what he just said. Lewis is a seven-time Pro Bowl choice, a two-time NFL defensive MVP and someone who three times had 200 or more tackles in a season -- including 2004. Now Billick and the Ravens think they have a defensive scheme to make him more effective than ever. In fact, they think they have a scheme that can make their entire defense more effective, more intimidating, more dominating than at any time since 2000.

"I hope people think Ray's lost a step," said Billick. "I hope people think they don't have to game-plan for him. I hope they think they exposed him because it's going to be fun to watch him absolutely annihilate them."

It's never been hard to find Ray Lewis on the football field. You just follow the ball, and sooner or later, he appears. Only this year he's after more, much more, than just the football.

"Every year I have something to prove," he said, "but this time it's personal."

 

[yodathesoda]

Yeah Ray Lewis is right on track for an MVP season especially considering the numbers he put up last year. The whole 106 tackles, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble and 0 interceptions. And people still have the balls to call Urlacher overated.

I'll never forget Curtis Martin laying him the fuck out on a block when we played last year.

 

[methodman]

a book about champions should be ABOUT champions baby!

Jerry Rice and Joe Montana, best championship pair of QB to WR... should i say EVER? YES

Best WR Ever.

Oh yeah babby.

No words needed (other then these).

Game Over.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

 

[tmdorsey]

You guys need to stop living in the past and think about the present. And the present is all about the Falcons baby!

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Who the FUCK, signs his own ass?

What kinda Hall of Fame butt pirate signs his ass, 'Hugs and Kisses, XOXO....Steve Young'.

He will never, ever be Joe Cool.

 

[WasabiKing]

Man, even as a Niner hater, I won't hate on Steve Young. Well deserved... He's Mike Vick's inspiration, suck it down, Falcons fans.

 

[methodman]

yeah. steve started (for the niners) when he was 28. he was still the best running qb in the league for like 8 years afterwards, thats incredible. if we didnt lose like 4 times to the packers in the NFC Championship games, we would have 9 superbowls (denver fluked!!!!!111111).
hehhe

ps. denver didnt fluke, jon elway and terrell davis fucking owned.

 

[Mrbob]

How can Ray Lewis win league MVP when he isn't the best middle linebacker in the NFL.
