    I guess that’s good. Would rather have Orton in than another guy who’s already shown he can’t handle the job.

    Springs reads Greise perfect. Ball hit him so fast he juggled falling down.

    Skins 7 - Bears 0

    0:04 remining.

    Collins to CP in flat for a few. HALFTIME>

  145. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 9:48 pm

    How’s everyone holding up out there?

  146. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 9:48 pm

    You’ve got a point, Bo.

    Greise looks like he’s not reading his receivers at all on those last 2 throws.

  147. Bo Vandy says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 9:51 pm

    Thanks for doing this Rick.

  148. Rick says:

    From Bo’s Blog

    “Matchups

    Head Coach:

    Lovie (Rex Grossman has dirty pictures of me in a lock box) Smith vs Joe (I’ve been coaching for 20 years, and still don’t know the rules) Gibbs.”

    Love your stuff, Bo. Who writes your material? I thought there was a writers strike still on.

  149. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 9:54 pm

    No problem on the blogcast. I needed to find a way to keep out of my wife’s path tonight. She’s cooking for company tomorrow & hell hath camped out in our kitchen.

  150. Greg Trippiedi says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 9:54 pm

    Devin Hester looks like he’s never played receiver before….

    …that’s mainly attributable to the fact that he hasn’t.

  151. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 9:58 pm

    Doesn’t matter. It looks like Greise has never played QB before either, so they’re even.

  152. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 9:59 pm

    They just wheeled JC out of the locker room in a wheelchair. Not a good sign at all.

  153. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 10:01 pm

    To make it clear, nothing was cheap on any of these injuries tonight. There’s just a ton of meat flying around at high velocity on each play.

  154. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 10:02 pm

    Bears to punt.

    Fielded at 30 by Yoder on a pop-up. Got it to the 35.

  180. Bo Vandy says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 10:23 pm

    oh yippee, we got 3 points

  181. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 10:23 pm

    FG is good. Smoot is heading for the locker room now.

    Gibbs better start praying hard and fast before he has to send position coaches out to play.

    Commerical break

  182. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 10:24 pm

    It doesn’t matter how bad Griese is. Pretty soon he’ll be playing against an empty backfield.

  183. Bo Vandy says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 10:24 pm

    I’d kind of like to see Gibbs line up as Linebacker and lay Griese out after blowing past our mamby pamby o-line, that would be a highlight I’d DVR

  184. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 10:24 pm

    KO Bears - Rock from 15 - Down at th 27.

  185. Bo Vandy says:

    then he’ll be throwing picks to the Zebras

  186. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 10:25 pm

    Gibbs might be all that’s left by the 4th qtr.

    He looks like he could chew nails right now, though.

  187. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 10:26 pm

    This game is starting to take on the grace of a downtown mugging.

    I’m ferklempt.

    Talk amongst yourselves for the next 2 minutes.

  224. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 10:54 pm

    The Bears are looking pretty good on D. Their line is getting pressure on every pass play. And they are stuffing almost every run to either side of the line. The best runs have been quick hitters up the middle before they can get their bearings.

  225. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 10:56 pm

    KO - 11:52 remaining in 4th - Hester takes bouner at 20 and stopped at 28 while running around looking for daylight by Anthony Mix of Auburn. Not bad for a guy who was an emergency pickup at the advice of JC a couple of weeks ago.

    Oh, wait, a commercial. Must see……..

  226. Bo Vandy says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 10:57 pm

    you guys have bottled up Hester big time, watch out though!

    3rd n goal from 4 - lone back pass to Olsen over Torrance but just out of reach.

  242. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 11:05 pm

    Olsen beat Torrance, but Torrance jammed him as he went by and that threw off the timing just enough.

    FG good.

    Redskins 17 - Bears 13.

    I’m hyperventilating.

    Watch the commercials, I’m going to take Valium.

  243. Bo Vandy says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 11:07 pm

    bullets dodged on each end. The season is on the line, I’m not sure Lovie shouldn’t have gone for the TD there

  244. Rick says:

    Commercial time.

  246. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 11:10 pm

    I was surprised, too, but I think Lovie knows he’s got Eubank’s number and the next time he gets the ball he’s going full bore on him.

  247. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 11:10 pm

    1st n 10 30 - Pas to Santana on Crossing route for 20.

    “I was surprised, too, but I think Lovie knows he’s got Eubank’s number and the next time he gets the ball he’s going full bore on him.”

    Problem is, that doesn’t mean much if the Redskins score on this drive

  250. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 11:11 pm

    1st n 10 Bears 42 - lone back HO CP R/G for 5 yards. Good run.

    2nd n 8 - sorry - 18 - I set CP HO around L End for 1 yard but keep clock going. Bears TO. 2:45 remaining in game. Urlacher really pursued and closed on that play.

  258. Bo Vandy says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 11:16 pm

    14-19, 208 yards and a TD from Collins. Is there going to be grumbling about continuing to start Campbell after tonight?

  259. Bo Vandy says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 11:16 pm

    need a stop right here if we want a chance

    3rd n 6 from 16yrd line - Empty backfield - Pass to Betts cutting behind the LB’s everyone up to the line - Betts skips in for a TD TD TD TD TD

  262. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 11:17 pm

    2:00 Minute break - how about a commercial or two?

  267. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 11:22 pm

    What are the Bears thinking throwing screens that eat up the clock and only gain a handful of yards at a time?

    I’m loving it, but objectively speaking the strategy is bizzar.

  268. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 11:23 pm

    Coming back.

  269. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 11:24 pm

    4th n 1 - 1:11 - Lone ;back Griese keeper looks close.

  277. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 11:29 pm

    Clock is going and going and going as they unpile 0:47. Greise spikes the ball, but the Skins had everyone pinned down in the pile and made everyone wait while they unpiled.

  278. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 11:30 pm

    December 6th, 2007 at 11:33 pm

    and Smith’s decision to kick our last time down the field comes back ot bite us.

    Didn’t see that coming (sarcasm)

    Rick, I really appreciate you doing this play by play, have a good night, and a good holiday season

  292. Bo Vandy says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 11:36 pm

    uh, I dated a girl who sang that song all the time. Are they the only NFL team with a fight song?

  293. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 11:55 pm

    I believe there is one other team with a fight song, but we’re the only ones with a band, too.

  294. Rick says:

    December 6th, 2007 at 11:56 pm

    When in college I tried out for the band but the waiting list was brutally long and you really had to know someone to have a shot. Still, I thought that being the only marching bassoon player would give me a leg up.

    Not to be.
