KiLoc69 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 The guy busts his a$$ getting us into the redzone and then we give the ball to McKie or to the QB for a 1 yard plunge? What is this, Varsity Blues? Yesterday was like the 4th or 5th time that's happened and it drives me insane!!! The man should be rewarded for his effort and he seems too classy to b1tch about it so I'm doing it for him. Stats matter to most players on some level, and Pro Bowl voters can easily be swayed by flashy numbers. Not to mention we lost a game because we tried that FB dive instead of giving the rock to Forte twice. Full disclosure: Forte is on my fantasy team =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I think Matt is the type of RB who just wants to win, whether he gets the TD or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzlyBear Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Sound like a fantasy owner who has Forte on his roster. LMAO, Iam one too, But will take Bears win over Forte scoring anyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlithuanian Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 While overall, I could care less who scores as long as he's got an orange "C" on their helmet... But, much like Payton not scoring in the SB, I think you feed it to your workhorse. In all reality, the Bears should virtually give Forte every carry in the red zone. Therefore, teams would start homing in on it, and thus...viola! The playaction works! Or, a McKie run is actually a tricky good play once in a while!

DaBearSox Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I agree to somepoint....especially yesterday... I saw a lot in the other post saying that it was OK for Rex to spike the ball and act like he just won the NFC I however thought it was a bit premature for the timing of it. He didn't do anything special and Forte would have had that TD a lot easier than Rex did. (Plus he did all the work getting them there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Plus he did all the work getting them there) As was said on the Score show earlier today, it would probably have been more classy of Rex to have given the ball to an OL, i.e., Olin, or to Forte, to spike. It would have shown some camaraderie and leadership on his part. However, no big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinglopaka Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 HAHAHA, i was just talking about the same thing wiht a co-worker of mine..and he said the Varsity Blues reference as well, too funny!

dasox24 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yeah, I feel the same way about Forte, but I also have him on my fantasy team. I fully blame Kellen Davis b/c I'm 99% sure that play he false started was a run to Forte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything to bash Rex. BFD. Hey, maybe the O all said "You punch it in" after all the senseless booing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iguana Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I too would have liked to see Turner reward the guy that got them there. Forte should have at least 3 more TDs this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selection7 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Anything to bash Rex. BFD. Hey, maybe the O all said "You punch it in" after all the senseless booing. Hmmmm. An offensive line ultimatum? "Stop booing Rex or we'll let him run the TD in every chance we get instead of Forte". You think that could work?

Mongo3451 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Two things. I could give a crap who scores, unless they are on my fantasy team. Second, I have no problem with Rex celebrating. The look on his face was pure joy. After what he's been through, I think he deserves to let go a little.(and us fans should be happy for him) It's not like he thought that TD earned him the starters job.
