I don't know about everyone else but i'm fu<king pumped for tonights game. What's better than Monday Night Football?
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Chicago is a good example of how defense and special teams are more important than offense.

This is why people hate Bears and their fans in the first place.[S]alvatore said:
Anywho, the Bears are good, so damn good. Can anyone say early season benchmark?
Nevertheless, the Caridinals lost that game, the Bears didn't win it.

Thank god the Cards only lost by one. I'd of been out 200 bucks.

Well, i'm saddened by Mike Browns injury that will keep him from playing for the rest of the season, but I hope we can fill that void with Todd Johnson at the safety position.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Re:
My money would still be on the Pats.
Here's why...
The colts CANNOT stop the run. To allow Plummer, who is 1/2 the QB that Tom is to even move the ball is reprehensible. Tatum and Mike Bell are GOOD, but they are PLUG n PLAY Rb's. They are not PURE runners like a Maroney, or a battering ram like Dillon. I may return here next week and be eating crow if Peyton Disassembles our secondary, but I do not see Addai or Rhodes putting anything up on us. You will see Green, Wilfork, and Seymour getting pressure and shutting the 2 unproven runners down. The remaing LB's and CB's will be on Marvin. That won't be easy, but if we limit Peyton to 2td's, it will.
Watching MINNESOTA the other night, and recognizing their schedule, it should have been easy to see why the Pats would light them up.
1) They spread the ball around. The liability people thought we had LAST year, has now become our assets. Our Run Game is strong and diversified between power and speed. Maroney and Faulk can pass-catch, too. There's plenty of Competent Receivers, so no CB can cover or gameplan JUST one. Caldwell, Brown, Jackson, Gabriel, Gaffney, Watson, Thomas, Graham. Who do you cover? You don't need a TO or a Steve Smith, just guys with enough talent to get open on the lesser Corners.
2) MINN has no WR's. Williamson is only in his 2nd year, and did nothing in his 1st to prove he's talented @ the NFL level. Robinson, the big possession did not play. And Travis Taylor is a journeyman who has never reached his full talent. Brad Johnson is a QB who makes SAFE throws, plays ball control, and relies on UNDERNEATH routes, not the deep ball. The Pats took that away, as well as the run game and begged him to beat them Deep. It never happened.
3) The Pats game planned the WEAKNESSES of the Team they play, and didn't fight the strengths. They didn't even run it 20 times. Normally when you hear that, you hear of a time who came from behind and attempted to win or did win the game. But the Pats were in control throughout the whole game, even from the moment they scored, it was over. They stuck to what worked. Alot of commentators would say balance was needed, and if we didn't win, the pundits mights say, "well they needed balance to keep the D respectable," but when you have so many guys you can throw to, with the best QB in the league based on the rings he carries, why would you force something that wasn't going to work anyway? Moreover, to have the OTHER team KNOW you're going to pass alot, and still win is unfathomable.
MINN might be NFC-good, but they're not Superbowl bound.
Sunday night will prove alot out of both teams. It will likely be a gunslinging matchup, but the pats are still DEFENSIVELY more healthy and with a better proven run game to slow it down. The Pats can go tit for tat with the Colts, as was proven against MINN who has a better defense.
I think the Bears are still good, but their greatness hasn't been proven because they haven't played a great team, i.e. Philly, Colts, Denver, the Pats, etc. Beating AZ doesn't really count in my book.

To be honest, I didn't expect the Bears to lose a game until the upcoming 3 away games.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

It's hilarious reading these foreigners and their comments about how NFL players aren't tough because they wear padding.
Hell, the Cricket players over there wear almost as much padding as an NFL player.
LOL
And I doubt that there are any Rugby players that are 6'4" 270 lbs. that run a 4.5 40 and hit at full speed like in the NFL

EXACTLY! Take the games for what they are - both great violent spectacles. Then accept that American football is the toughest sport ever. Simple!Derek Flint said:
However, cricketers wear padding because the ball is flying straight up at their knees/face/arm/whatever and they compensate for that by catching barehanded, which is pretty damn painful.

As far as i'm concerned, the play calling and Rex's interception cost us the game on our very last drive. As quoted by Vic Carucci on NFL.com:
Oh well, 2/3 road games is good for me, and we have a chance to clinch the Division this week against Minnesota.
