Wait Cutler is under 220?  ****!

Now he has to shut up and take a seat on the bench or get cut. 

Logic Rules!

This is good news if true:

Having Barber available for the Saints game would be huge.

Excellent game for the Bears.

The NFCN will be tough this season.  The old Black and Blue is back.

Could not have asked for a better game than yesterday to get the stench of that NFC Championship loss out of Soldier Field.

Having that opera dude sing the Anthem again was a win, too.  I haven't seen a Soldier Field crowd that jacked before kickoff in a long time.

I'm reading a lot of stuff on PFT today about major problems with game coverage via DIRECTV / Sunday Ticket yesterday.  Screen lockups, homes and sports bars not getting signals, etc.

Thankfully, the Bears game was shown over-the-air here so I had no problems whatsover, but I'm curious if anyone here had problems. It seems like as with so many other things these days, people are paying more than ever and getting less.

Sorry to hear if anyone couldn't see the game. Mine was fine.

Apparently the most widespread issues were with the new Sunday Ticket To-Go (mobile streaming) service but a lot of sports bars wound up dark on their TV service too.  Definitely not what you want on Opening Sunday.

Did you notice, right after Cornelius started singing the anthem, they showed Matt Ryan, who suddenly looked intimidated....

Bears was my local game in O-town, but watched Red Zone Channel with no issues during 2nd games

I don't have direct tv but my understanding was it was problems with mobile apps and PS3's or something like that.  Not their regualr service.
