heretic Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Defensive Tackle Tommy HarrisQ: It appeared as if you had the game won. Thoughts?A: “We were 11 seconds away from a win. That quarterback they have is a special player. These are the type of games that really hurt. We thought we had it in the bag, and it’s over. To have it taken away, well, I can’t describe it.”Linebacker Brian UrlacherQ: You played bend but not break defense. But it wasn’t good enough to win?A: “We didn’t play well enough to win. It’s very disappointing. Matt Ryan is a good quarterback. He played well. Bottom line, you’ve got to play better if you want to win.”Linebacker Lance BriggsQ: Your thoughts about the rookie quarterback Matt Ryan?A: “He played well. He took exactly what we were giving him. He knew exactly where to go. He threw the ball with authority. He didn’t look like a rookie. He looked like where he’s exactly supposed to be, the leader of his team.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g-dawg Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 yes, quality defenders like Harris, Urlacher and Briggs know a good QB when they see one......not to wax poetic but Matt Ryan is the "real deal" - he's an emerging talent in the NFL.......next superstar QB.....How would you like to be the Miami Dolphins and the St. Louis Rams? I bet they wish they could go back to the 2008 NFL draft on April 26th and "get it right"....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcsupersport Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I think Urlacher forgot to put on his Old Spice Swagger Deodorant today. His defense played like the nerd today...No they didn't they played a very good game, but they as a team decided to shut down the leagues leading rusher and make a rookie beat them. Unfortunately for them and wonderful for us, the Rookie, who doesn't play like a Rookie beat them. But please don't try to take anything away from the bear's D, it really is good, look at the stats, esp, running yards against them, and understand they are special. It just so happens we have special QB who could beat them.Go Falcons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ryan was 7 for 7 when Tillman was in regardless) The Bears are still a very good defensive team, but Ryan is the man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millenium falcon Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 i was at the first game vs DET and one of their fans turned to us behind him and said, "you have yourselves a QB." coaches and players from almost every game have said the same. we are not just biased fans, we really do have a special player at QB. i said before the draft he reminded me of tom brady.

mc Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 shouldn't you start this thread by saying you are not biased and then proceed to rip our starting qb. that is your MO right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
