In the NFL - With Injury Comes Opportunity!

What a great game!

Heading into the office today was great! High fives all the way around as I accept accolades from my co-works on behalf of second-year receiver Mark Bradley's (4-79-1) performance, and TD last night, in the absence of injured starter Bernard Berrian.



Like many Chicago Bears Fans - I was concerned that the bad vibe / rust of the Dolphins game had carried over into the first half of the Giants game. Then with Thomas Jones breaking away and making things happen to provide the needed spark for the Bears offence.

In the pursuing play - Mark Bradley, out runs man to man coverage for a wide open 29 yard reception into the end zone! Cutting the deficit to 13-10 with :35 left in the first half.





That's what I've been waiting for since they drafted him in the second round last season. Looks like Bradley has finally recovered from knee, hip and ankle injuries. His raw speed is dangerous when he's healthy. I'm looking forward to Bradley being one of the team's deep threats going forward.

Tid Bits:
The Bears walloped the Giants 38-20 on Sunday night -- the second-most points that the Bears have ever scored against the Giants, in a rivalry that dates back to 1925. On Nov. 14, 1943, the Bears drubbed the Giants, 56-7, at the Polo Grounds, in a game in which Sid Luckman set an NFL record (since tied, never surpassed) with seven touchdown passes.

- Sunday Night football on NBC is by far the game of the week! NBC has a better game experience and less people have ESPN or ESPN HD.

- Did anyone notice early in the 4th QTR, when the Giants got the first down and the fact that the yellow tv line was about a foot off from where they marked the ball?

- What happen to Cedric Benson last night?

- Good to see Todd Johnson was benched for Chris Harris.

- How's the toe injury Mr. Urlacher?

- Rex & Ron's introduction to the shotgun.

- How do you feel about the corners now Plexiglass? Tillman did a great job!

- Any comments Shockey?

- Devin Hester's 108-yard play -- Nice team blocking!

- Please define horse collar?

- Nice to see Mark Bradley healthy and making plays again.
