Pick: Chicago 27, Atlanta 16Regardless of whether or not you guys win, I really don't see you putting up 27. 21 is pushing it, in my opinion. I guess we'll know more around 4:00pm on Sunday.

Pick: Chicago 27, Atlanta 16You joined just to post that?Keep in mind that numerous media types picked the Falcons to win at most, 4 games and at worst, only 1 game. To come here and paste yet another experts prediction means nothing to us. It'seven funnier that this media person intimates that Forte is better than Turner the leading rusher in the NFL......Classic. I love it when these guys DON'T do their homework......

Pick: Chicago 27, Atlanta 16What's your point - HERE'S HIS PICK LAST WEEKAtlanta at Green Bay, 1 p.m.After starting out hot, the Packers have come back to earth with two straight losses. Lose another one and Packers fans may be going on eBay to buy Brett Favre jerseys to replace the ones they threw away after Aaron Rodgers' first two games. Pick: Green Bay 27, Atlanta 13Wow - he's giving us a better chance against the Bears - Cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearmick Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 how has forte been better than turner? he's #1 in errthing!The job of a running back is to run the ball, catch passes, and block. Forte is versatile, he can line up in the backfield, he's a great blocker, very good runner, superb receiver, he can be split out wide. He has more all-purpose (rush and receiving combined) yards than Michael Turner.So yes, he has been a better all round football player so far.

WHEN IT'S PLAYED, YOU WILL FEELVERY, VERY BAD. O knew Tommy Bleick very well in the 60's and 70's. He is from Telladega, Al, and he used to come to some of the parties at Valley Court and Red Lion apartments.And by the way, if you didn't get my last reply to you , it's Jeff Yeates, not Yates. I sold him his first house in Atlanta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarus2.0 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Come on guys...they won eight of the last nine meetings. Considering the rosters are exactly the same as the last nine times we should expect the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagnusXXIII Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Chicago at Atlanta, 1 p.m. ESTChicago's won eight of the last nine meetings between these two teams. For as good as Matt Ryan and Michael Turner have been for the Falcons, Kyle Orton and Matt Forte have been even better. Pick: Chicago 27, Atlanta 16Link ?...I can not imagine someone who does analysis for a living referencing series records.I guess he predicted us to beat Carolina two weeks ago.The bears may win ... because there are still so many unknowns about our young team.But to say that Matt Forte has been better than Michael Turner is incredulous. Orton better than Ryan bad enough all things considered.You could probably ask your own front office who they would rather have. They would disagree with Peter.
