See....P Manning is a mans man.
He throws the td pass, he pumps his fist once, and he turns around and calmly walks off the field. That's how you celebrate.

The bears D has steadily been a top tier group. They just haven't had that QB who can control the offense. "Hey, don't screw it up!" That's basically what they've needed for the past few years and Orton might be able to do it now. Taking pressure off the defense keeps them fresh and able to make bigger impact plays.

It'll probably also take them some time to get used to seeing more balls going to the other team than to them.

This was definitely a shocker. If the Bears can find a way to keep Orton and their line calm and cool for the year, they'll be one of the last teams playing at the end. I was never worried about their defense falling apart, just finding that right chemistry on offense. That's their missing piece.

No offense to all you Brady fans out there but YES! Another year..NO SUPERBOWL WIN for the PATS. Also without Brady it will be harder for Moss to break Jerry Rice's TD record. I would hate to see someone like Moss hold the all time TD / Receiving records.

I was actually considering benching Manning in favor of Rivers on my fantasy team. The Bears D is a tough group to make your first post-injury start against.

I don't understand what Minneosta is thinking at QB. Why wouldn't you go get a solid veteran during the offseason? I mean someone like Jeff Garcia would make Minnesota an absolutely scary team. But Tavaris is so gosh-darn awful, I'm really not scared of them at all.

It's do or die time for Tavaris Jackson now... He's about to get the ball back at just under the two minute warning, with a chance to win the game...

Rodgers test...I would say was very successful. That was a lot of pressure and against a tough Defense.

No offense, but Vikings gave that one to Green Bay with all of their penalties. What video highlights won't show is, although Rodgers made a good TD pass, it took him roughly 10 plays to get off the goalline. Rodgers was decent. He falls under the Eli Manning category. As long as he doesn't do anything stupid, people will unnecessarily praise him.

NFL postponed the Ravens/Texans game to Monday. So, will there be two games on Monday ? I think there will be zero games.

I guess the only way Houston ever gets to play on Monday is when there is a natural disaster.

Aren't the Texans kind of a natural disaster themselves?

Fisher reached out to police because therapist said Young mentioned suicide
ESPN.com news services

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans called police for help searching for Vince Young because his therapist told coach Jeff Fisher the quarterback mentioned suicide several times before driving away from his home with a gun.
Vince Young
Young
Both Fisher and Young have said what happened Monday night was overblown by the media. But the supplemental report filed Tuesday by Nashville police showed that Fisher was worried what his quarterback might be doing after the call from Young's therapist.
"I asked him, 'What made her worry about him?' " Lt. Andrea Swisher wrote. "He stated, 'His mood, his emotions, he wants to quit, and he mentioned suicide several times.' He went on to state that he left the house with a gun."
The Titans declined to comment on details of the report. On Tuesday, the team issued a statement saying police had been called over concern for Young but those concerns were unfounded.
"Last night, we received a call from people that are closest to Vince informing us that he had left his house in a state of mind that had them concerned; and that he was unreachable, having left his cell phone at the house," it said. "Not having all the facts available to us and approaching the matter prudently, we contacted Metro Police to make them aware of the situation and asked for their assistance in locating Vince. He was located at a friend's house, where we made contact with him. He then came to the practice facility where it was determined that those initial concerns by his friends and family were unfounded and he returned home without incident."
ESPN obtained a copy of the report on Friday.
The Titans' head of security notified police around 7:30 p.m. that he had a player "going off," and Fisher was in his truck when he saw Nashville police writing a report on a separate incident.
Young's manager, Mike Mu, told police he had tried to follow Young when the quarterback left his home. But Mu said he couldn't keep up with Young on Interstate 65 despite driving 90 mph.
Fisher connected police with Young's therapist, Sheila Peters, a clinical psychologist who had met with Young earlier Monday. It was then that Young used the word suicide in conversations with her.
During the search for Young, Peters arranged for an evaluation by employees from a psychiatric hospital in Nashville. Then Fisher heard from Young's agent that the quarterback was safe and at an apartment with a female friend.
The agent, Major Adams, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Young had been watching football and eating chicken wings with a male friend during the four hours people were searching for the quarterback.
Police arranged for crisis negotiators and SWAT officers to be on hand. They searched Young for weapons when he arrived at the Titans' headquarters around 11:30 p.m. They only found an unloaded handgun in the glovebox of his Mercedes.
Tennessee law allows an individual to possess an unloaded weapon provided there is no ammunition with it in the car.
"He was allowed to talk to his therapist and then he was released," the police report stated.
ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
