Unfortunately, it looks like the NFL Network is the only station carrying the Grey Cup in America, which means most of us (including me) won't be able to watch it.

Tebow once again rallied the Broncos past the Chargers in overtime, 16-13. He is now 5-1 as a starter. I'm not going to defend his long-term prospect at being a successful NFL quarterback, but you have to give this guy some respect for proving everyone wrong thus far.

Any win against Phillip Rivers is a success in my book. And the fact that Rivers was Tebowned makes it even better.

4-7 Eagles! Maybe this will get Andy Reid fired! And don't say, "you don't know what you got until it's gone." Look at McNabb. I just think it's a time for change. Some one has to win this town a Super Bowl.

I can't believe how many rushing yards he is continuing to pick up in the NFL. I thought that would get him killed really quick.

Favre should come play for the Bears! Think of the sacrilege!

I'm just kidding...but we should pick up McNabb in case Hanie continues to suck. Martz is going to be leaving next year according to sources, no one is surprised. Forte is injured...Cutler is injured. What is this cruel world?

God hates Kyle Orton more than the Bears. Seriously, that was the best "hurt your finger in one play" ever.

Roy Williams isn't fit for childbirth because he will most certainly drop his baby.

Speaking of God, did anyone see Tim Tebow? Maybe I need to second-guess his skills. I still think his stout defense is where the "getting done" is getting done.

The Lions cemented their dirty reputation last week. Apparently they didn't get the memo. How many penalties did they have against the Saints? It's cool though, Drew Brees is like the most upstanding quarterback in the NFL. Someone give that guy a medal for being down to earth and not being a pile of douches.

Speaking of piles of douches: Joe Buck. Seriously, don't even waste effort on hating that boring guy.

I'm pretty sure I want to see a Packers vs. Steelers Super Bowl this year. So go Green Bay! But if the Saints make it, I'm okay with that too. That has to be a legit concern considering how close the Giants got today. The 49ers are still flying under the radar in my book. Good thing I don't know anything about football.

You know how I know Ryan Fitzpatrick is a genius? No, it's not because he went to Harvard. It's because he negotiated that huge multi-million dollar contract before the Bills decided to suck.

And Chargers vs. the Jags on Monday night? The only reason I'll tune in is so that I can hopefully watch Rivers lose.


Also, I'm very happy for you Canada. You have maple syrup and the CFL. Non-Canadians care about one of those things.

I was waiting for somebody to tell me to get off my soapbox after I went on a rant around Week 5 complaining about how the Bears are fucked and how we have the worst coaches in the world.

Mike Martz is still a fucking putz and Lovie Smith is Andy Reid retarded. I do not understand the play calls by Martz on offense or the decision to go into a lax cover 2 defense with the safeties 25 yards down field.

EVERY FUCKING TIME the Bears have the lead Smith drops the safeties back 25 yards and lets plays go 10 yards down field easy. We had Tebow's ass covered all game until the final 4 minutes.

As far as Marian Barber fumbling and not going out of bounds, whatever. The guy is a fucking idiot. He isn't our starting back; we drafted him to punch in touchdowns at the 10 yard line.

Obviously the Bear's season was fucked when Cutler went out, double so with Forte out. But our coaching and front end office is still among the worst in the league (IMO). I feel sorry for Cutler, Forte, and Robbie Gould who is a CLUTCH kicker.

As far as Tebow? The kid has passion, but he played like pig shit for 3 quarters. 6-1 or whatever seems like crazy talent and not just a series of flukes...but I'm pretty sure the Broncos will get raped when they play better teams.

Here is to a Packers vs. Saints NFC Championship game, and a Packers vs. Steelers Super Bowl.

I don't know how to feel about him, man.
They showed some of his stats last night for the comeback wins that he has. I forget how many, and am too lazy to look it up. Anyways, crazy amount of comeback wins from the 3rd and late 4th. So either that kid has some crazy-ass poise-reserve that he digs into late in games, or they've somehow strung together like...8 coincidences and close calls. I guess it can be a statistical probability that eventually a rookie GB will rescue a bunch of games based solely on coincidence. But for the sake of the Broncos I'd like to believe that he's actually as good as the last 10 minutes of his game usually shows. I mean, I know he's not catching those balls, or intercepting passes, and he's only one part of the puzzle - but you don't get __ comeback wins by having strong defense.

Kyle Orton! Yeah.

And the Bears meltdown continues. If they don't fire Smith and Angelo I'll be annoyed and honestly not surprised.

It's cool, but we need to watch these accumulating injuries.

Lots of upsets this week.

KG, isn't it hard to expect the Bears to win w/o Cutler and Forte?

No. Barber is a great running back, and Bell isn't bad. Our loses are reflections of bad drafting, lack of second and third string depth...Hanie BLOWS. When Big Ben was suspended for a couple of games last year, the team chugged on with their stout defense and run game. When the Texans lost their first and second quarterbacks this year, they kept rolling.

The AFC West is terrible. There is no reason for the Bears to close that stretch 1-3. The Seahawks suck too.

Our offensive line is shit. Total garbage. That tells you just how good Jay Cutler is, making our offensive line look competent. Our receiver core cannot run routes or catch passes. Mike Martz has been out coached the past few weeks against a weak ass AFC West, and don't even ask what Lovie is doing.

Honestly...there is a lot of internal conflict and poor decision making at Chicago. Look at your team, the Packers. Half the guys on last year's Super Bowl team were drafted players. Young guys. Guys who were inserted into a carefully designed system run by a competent front office and an amazing coach, McCarthy.

The Bears...have sunk a lot of money into guys like Roy Williams, Marion Barber, and Julius Peppers. I love Peppers, but he is prone to injury, old, and has a limited window to play.

Roy Williams is known as "Droptimus Prime" you know. The compliment to Megatron.

All the Bears had to do for a shot at the playoffs was to beat a few struggling AFC west teams, and a crappy Seahawks team...they should have picked up McNabb for beans. McNabb is mature and knows how to throw the ball away or stand in the pocket and take a sack. Hanie is young, developing, and an Interception throwing machine. You cannot win games by throwing 2 pick sixes. You cannot win a game if you lose the turnover battle and score on average 11 points.
