Really? I thought Wyche drafted Brooks, Lynch, Sapp, et al? I think Dungy only brought in Shaun King... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampa_Bay_Buccaneers "During Dungy's first season in 1996, the team continued to struggle, starting the season 1–8. But in the second half of the season they finished 5–2, primarily due to the performance of a defense ranked seventh in the NFL led by Hardy Nickerson and the maturing of Wyche's draftees Brooks, Lynch, and Sapp. Dungy, a devout Christian with an even-tempered personality, quickly brought balance and morale to the team, and his Cover 2 defensive scheme, sharpened to perfection by defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin and linebackers coach Lovie Smith, became the foundation for Tampa Bay's future success. Their version of Cover 2 was so successful that it became known as the Tampa 2. It has been brought to the Chicago Bears by Smith, Detroit Lions by Rod Marinelli, Kansas City Chiefs by Herman Edwards and to the Indianapolis Colts by Dungy himself, and copied by several other teams" He probably is above average as you say, but I think highly over-rated for all the apparent accolades he currently gets.

I fully agree.

Count me in you list of folks that aren't impressed with Dungy...

Agreed. Shanhez will get it by virtue of who they beat and how poised he was. I credit the guy. I just like Knox better!

Fair enough! But then should he be added into the equation?

Actually your math is off.. the answer should be six! Gould get's the extra point!

Just voted! Go Johnny go!

Unfortunatley...Forte's been equally disappointing. But I have a feeling both will light it up soon.

Congrats! Sounds like you've got a keeper!

Well, if he's not out, we now have a target... Nothing cheap, but he better be wearing a flak jacket.

We NEED to run more. I want to see more of a commitment to the run. And not the same darn up-the-middle for 2 yds... How about some cut-back's, sweeps, etc... Mix it up Turner!

So true. He just drilled that pass to Davis in the end zone for the 1st TD. I'm not sure how many other QB's could have done that. I just love this game as a real confisence booster. We still have holes, but with confidence, some of those holes will appear smaller than they appear in the mirror...

I was seeing the same things... But I wonder if the simplest reason is he is simply not getting enough rep's? Sometimes a guy just needs to get out there and do it, and do it often. Seems to me he was our workhorse. But now, he's used parringly. And granted, much of the time when it seems ill advised (on Turner). But I think he just needs more reps...

Can you trade for Favre...?

It's only week 2. And I don't think Turner is calling good plays and the O line hasn't blocked well.

I think you pretty much nailed it...

Every talking head this week will say that this was the odd performance, not last week. Just keep it up Jay! We love it!

The only thing that kept me going was being able to watch the game today! ...runnin' on fumes for sure!

Rockin'! Bring home the victory! quote name='DABEARSDABOMB' date='Sep 20 2009, 10:11 AM' post='69208'] I think I'll be by you at today's game. Me and the lady will try to stop by. Hopefully we get to cheer on Bears win #1 in the Cutler era!!!

I need to double check my seat location when I get home. I'll send you a message w/ my cell. Shout with fury today and give Cutler and the Bears your support! I wouldn't expect any less! Bring home a win!

sorry! Hungover texting! Darn auto spell check! Meant Vasher!

I was defending Cutler and the Bears all day yesterday at the tables in Vegas. We are SO written off in the minds of all other teams fans. This is a trap game for PIT. Go Bears!

I'm sold! Go Bears!

Basket was at his best early on as nickel if I recall correctly. I see mo problem with the demotion. It could mean Smith and crew are finally in the mode to place the nest talent on the field instead if those with nude pix of the staff. I like Bowman. And maybe this lights a fire for Vashy.

I'm sitting in the Vegas airport, waiting for my flight to LA to catch the game... And I'm hungover from a bachelor party last night desperate for food. And there is a kiosk with pizzeria UNO from Chicago! I'm more of a fan of the thin, but right now it's nirvana! Bears!
