NFL Week 15

#44
Yeah, McMahon played backup to Favre...and that's how he got his second SB ring (then the puke had to go and show up with the Packers to the White House in a Bears uniform).

I was reading the BS on ESPN, or NFL network (can't remember which one) where someone suggested that Favre end his career with a team that has a chance to go to the SB soon...and it was even suggested Chicago?

Hey we took McMahon...I wonder how Favre in a Bears uniform would fly with Bears fans? The Bear killer in a Bears uniform? That would be an insult...but you never know what can happen. Personally I can't see it happening, but if it did it would convert me over to being (I can't believe I'm saying this) a Bears fan. :eek:

OMG, that would mean I would have to root for Favre.

Ya know, the thought of Favre playing for the Bears puts me that much closer to mid-life crisis. If it became a reality, it would accelerate it into overdrive.

I've already had my mid-life crisis, so for me it would just put me that much closer to one foot in the grave (but I'd somehow manage to hang on to see if the Bears actually won it all with him before kicking the bucket).

I'll apologize for sounding like a whiner, but, if the Bears would 've had a decent defense during the Kramer years, I believe that offensive lineup was strong enough to have at least 1 SB, maybe 2. Not to say that Kramer was as good as Farve, But the O scheme was just as dominant as the rest of the division at that time. Remember, outside of Detroit, the NFC Central was the dominant division of the NFL in that time frame.

Let's take a look at 1995 shall we,

COMP. ATT. PCT. YARDS TD INT RUSH YARDS TD
Eric Kramer 315 522 60.3 3,838 29 10 35 39 1


Pro Bowlers for 1995

COMP. ATT. PCT. YARDS TD INT RUSH YARDS TD
Brett Favre 359 570 63.0 4,413 38 13 39 181 3
W. Moon 377 606 62.2 4,228 33 14 33 82 0
S. Young 299 447 66.9 3,200 20 11 50 250 3
T. Aikman 280 432 64.8 3,304 16 7 21 32 1

Clearly the numbers show that he was better than Aikman and Young in 95'...yet he's just a blip to Chicago fans.
Hey, numbers don't lie; intangibles don't get you to the HOF!

Oh well, back to my penance...

Actually the Lions weren't a bad team around that time. They had some winning records and playoff appearances. If I remember correctly, they went to the playoffs and got killed by the Redskins in 95.

The thing that killed us then, and throughout the Wann@#$t era was bonehead personnel moves. We traded Trace Armstrong while he was in his prime, and cut Dante Jones who was on his way up. Wann$h1t thought Spellman and Thierry would anchor the front line. What a friggin idiot! And we drafted a friggin punter in the 2nd round.:spit: It's too bad, because Woolford and Carrier played well in the secondary.

Yeah, Wanny was a bonehead! He didn't trade Armstrong BTW, they left him unprotected for the expansion draft; allong with Kenny Shed and that fullback/halfback from North western (don't remember his name). Don't forget about Robert Parrish! He did however allow Brian Cox to wreck shop on the locker room!

Unnotable Quotables from BC...

"There are some people who need to see the wizard; get some ba!!$, get some heart!"

"Every time I step on the field, I pretend that I'm a slave and I'm looking to kill my master!"

Oh yeah, Don't forget that Jeremy Lincoln fiasco!

The RB you're thinking of is Darnell Autry. He was a leftover from Ditka.

But, I'm pretty sure that Trace Armstrong was traded to Miami for draft picks. One of which was used in the 2nd round to draft Sauerbrun. Idiot.

Brian Cox, what a high-priced disaster.

Lincoln was bad, but at least he didn't cost us a first rounder like Walt Harris.

Imagine what the Bears would have been like if there were no Wann$h1t. He literally sent us into a spiral of futility for a decade. And McCaskey thought it was a good idea to let him be in charge of personnel.


Time for a new era.

Nah, not Darnell Autry, he was still in NW. This was the guy B4 Autry.

I believe Trace either went to Jacksonville or Carolina for a year or 2 B4 heading to Miami.

Anywho...GO BEARS!!!!

OK, I'm being trivial....................

Darnell Autry was drafted by Ditka, so he couldn't still be in NW.

I went and looked it up on bearshistory.com, and according to them Trace was traded to Miami.

Anyway

Go Bears!!!
