I'll be at the game, actually, so no trash talking will be done in-game.

that'll be really fun, huh? You get to see Vick in person and all, but damn--I bet you'll freeze your ass off. Still, big ups; should be a great game.

Make no mistake...I will be fucking freezing my ass off in the south end zone (2nd level). I'll be the one in the Bears jersey.

And after last week, I have a feeling this is going to be a really tight (and important) game for both teams. Both teams need it badly, Falcons a little more.

Grossman should be their man. I don't know why they are messing around with Orton. There is something to be said for the worst rating in the league.

Yeah, but again, Grossman has a 71 career rating and at Pittsburgh in a blizzard Orton was 67. The QB was pretty far from the problem this week, it was a) the play calling and b) the defense having a god-awful game.

hey, i'll be in sunny 80 degree miami at the dolphins/jets game.

so i won't be here for any of the smack talk either....

Yeah, its pretty fucking important for us, partner because, at best it looks like we will go 2-2 (winning tonight and versus Carolina at home and losing versus Chi-Gar and Tampa on the road) in these last four just to go 9-7 which doesnt really guarantee shit with the exception of the first back-to-back winning seasons in franchise history. Big fucking woop. I want to get to the playoffs because no matter what, Mike has that Jordan-esque thing where he might take over a game.

Also Spade, give me your thoughts on the possibility that the Bears might lose out to the Vikes? That. Sucks.

Vikes have it a little easier than us recently, but I think with the South beating each other up the last 3 weeks, two teams may actually emerge from the North. If both the Bears and Vikes go 10-6 (likely if the Bears lose to Atlanta, beat Green Bay and lose at Minnesota) the Bears have the conference record tie-breaker. So even if Minnesota ties us they don't win the division. They have to go 3-0 and we have to go 1-2. Not bloody likely...
