. Save the dolphins! (Or wait, maybe that's whales.) I like Miami to score a safety in this one. Maybe bury a punt on the Bears' 1. Otherwise, don't expect a lot from Joey Harrington and his smelly friends from the sea. Devin Hester takes another punt for a Bears TD and that's that, the 'Fins sleep with the fishes.

. Put that champagne bottle away, Bob Kuechenberg. It will have to chill for at least another week-and possibly longer-because no way this Dolphins team ruins the Bears' unbeaten season. Former Bear Marty Booker won't recognize the passing game hitting big plays against Miami. And the defense will make Joey Harrington nostalgic for Detroit. Expect a score lopsided enough to see backup quarterback Brian Griese finish a game that will make his dad's former Dolphin teammates on that perfect '72 team pretty nervous.

. The Dolphins talk a good game but don't know how to play a good game. Bad combination. The Bears surely have had their fill of Miami's pregame woofing, and that means an in-game butt-whupping Sunday. Rex Grossman needs to have another good game for confidence purposes. You don't just forget the Arizona disaster with one decent outing

I’m not taking anything away from the Bears' 7-0 record and the path of destruction they've carved through the first half of the season, but will they ever play anyone?
I know, they don't make the schedule, and, let's face it, there are more bad teams in the NFL than good. But this is getting tedious. They've blasted every opponent but two and those two those games were ugly affairs. That Cardinals game had its moments, but I wouldn't want to go through that again. How about a test for once? How about a game against a good opponent, a muddy, bloody mess, oxygen masks, torn jerseys, bent fingers. A game you don't have to turn off by halftime and then find something productive to do, like go grocery shopping or sew on all those buttons that have fallen off in the wash over the last year. The Bears are cutting into my couch time. You think I want to spend my time sewing buttons?
And so the Bears may not be looking past the Miami Dolphins and ahead to the New York Giants but I am. That three-game, East Coast swing can't come soon enough. I thought we were done with Joey Harrington. Borrrrrrrrr-ring. Bears 38-9. Goodbye, Dolphins, hello, buttons.
Here's what some others are saying.
 
Nice to be able to shut them up

But this begs the question a friend of mine has been saying all season. He believes they are not legit contenders - have just played bad teams. :shakeno:
 
Great post and great research.

That's funny because people consider Miami to be one of those bad teams. Bears might make the playoffs but will not make it pass their 1st game.:boohoo: :D :rawk: :spank:
 
RE : Nice to be able to shut them up

HaHa, thats what I was thinking!

But as a quick check of the bears sites right now will show, The Chicago media is only talking about how bad rex played and how easy it was for miami since we had great feild position all day. I know weve pretty much sucked it up all year but give us a little credit at least!

There is almost no mention of how any of the media was wrong when they completly overlooked and made fun of us, How we managed to score in the red zone for a change (thank you book, welker and chambers and you too joey even though you threw that 1 really stupid pick), How well our D played and pressured rex to make bad throws (Jason taylors monster game/channing crowder/zach thomas) or How our secondary stepped it up (nice to see jason allen finally making an impact) or how our O line dominated/allowed NO sacks and made room for ronnie brown to Rush down their throats all day. (please let this be a reoccuring theme)

But thats what you tend to expect with sports writers. And im not just picking on chicago media this is a common theme with almost all sports writers.

Heres to hoping miami can make 8 and 8 this year and burst some more teams overblow egos. It prolly wont happen but you never know.Mabye saban will hire some of the old 72 team come light a fire in the locker room before every game :)
 
Love to drop those guys an email! LMAO!
 
The Media is right to say how bad Rex played, Grossman is a journeyman QB who has never impressed me and will never light up the NFL IMO. The Bears live off their Defense and they expect it to get them to the SuperBowl. They are in for a shock. No chance.

:nono: Of course they won't give us any credit. As a side note, though, the NFL Network is giving us plenty of props. Their term for my favorite player - #83 - was that he's having an incredible season. :D
 
To all the Bears fans and media who doubted the Fins and talked smack....how does it feel to be punched in the mouth and get stomped?

How is Grossman a journeyman qb. He has only played for one team. He hasn't even started the equivelent of one season. He will be fine. We just took advantage of a young qb, and forced him and his team into stupid mistakes. We can all smile for atleast one week.

Please tell me where Grossman has journeyed to? He got drafted by Chicago and has played there since.

And prior to yesterdays game, Rex had thrown 11 TDs and 0 ints at home, and posted a perfect record. I would call that 'lighting up' the NFL
 
Hey, lets not get all big headed now. If there was any game this season that we HAD TO win, it was this one. You can go back and check my posts regarding the bears miami game and I was one of a few saying it could be done. Do I expect a hell of a lot more from my Fins, no, not necessarily BUT MAN IT FELT GOOD TO BEAT THE BEARS!!! Makes you wonder how we would be doing had we just started Harrington and let C-Pep heal for the season if he needed it.

Only two of their wins have come against teams with a winning record.....I think you're friend is correct. If they make it to the playoffs they'll be knocked out rather quickly.
