Bears won. But they are going to live and die on cutler's arms. That's not a good thing with his pick throwing habits.

Carson Palmer, what happened?

49ers and Giants are the most overrated teams. Players will be moved

Brandon Marshall is such a damn problem

Atlanta is making the playoffs.

Eagles haven't played anyone yet but vick doing his thing

desean Jackson got so much talent. But he gets lazy and there are moments he just does stupid %*%%

******** are pathetic

cheifs are a problem

Peyton manning is a football god disguised as a man. Pretty sure he is

Why doesn't Desean get any love on here when talking about top receivers??

-Told dudes Giants would finish last in the division

-Chiefs wont make the playoffs.. well actually that division is horrible.. but if the Chargers get it together Chiefs are gonna crumble

- Yall Philly fans get excited way too easily. You guys beat 2 awful teams in the Lions (almost lost) and the Jags, and lost to the Packers. Big test next week vs the skins.

- Jackson isn't mentioned as a top WR because he really isn't. He is a great deep threat, and thats where his skills are best utilized.

- I don't see anyone stopping the Chiefs in that division right now...not the way that D is playing.

So Desean isnt a top WR cuz hes mainly a deep threat?? What has Randy Moss been??
Get you logic but hes no Randy Moss tho.. he has a huge game then goes MIA.. (Dallas week 16 and wildcard game)

yeah but he got stopped on 4 straight plays at the 1 vs the Lions, and with the way the Bears O-line has been working the run was no guarentee but we still wanted to take the lead with the oppurtunity. Not to mention that should of worked, Clark was wide open and the ball hit him in the hands and Clark has been a sure fire target for years, play should have worked.

Bears proved they are at least decent. Cutler is still %^$ to me, but he'll make a play every now and then. nice statement win tonight even though GB shot themselves in the foot way too many times.

Nice to see D-Hes get some shine again.

Didn't see what was so nice about the Bears defense outside of Peppers. AR-12 was out of sync and was still marching up and down the field on that unit.


Oh.

The Packers will be fine. just need to clean up this undisciplined crap.

Just heard this on the Dan Patrick Show and here's the article 

:

Sponsor redemptions have been going on for years, the most famous of which — at least in pro sports — is the Taco Bell Chalupa promotion when a basketball team scores more than 100 points.

But no one has done what the Seattle Seahawks and its marketing partners are now doing: Each of them attaching game statistics to free giveaways.

When grouped together, it's an impressive offering of "freemiums" for fans.

Let's take Sunday's 27-20 victory over the San Diego Chargers for example.

Because the team scored a touchdown in the redzone, fans can show their ticket at a local 7-Eleven to redeem a free small slurpee ($1.09) and a 3.5 oz bag of Oberto beef jerky ($4.99).

Since the team scored three touchdowns and won (topping for each touchdown and double that for a win) fans get six free toppings when they order a $9 large pizza at Papa John's. We went to a Papa John's . A large with six toppings would cost us $18. So that's a $9 value there.

The team scored at least 21 points, so any fan (even the ones not at the game) can redeem a free small stack of buttermilk pancakes from IHOP . To encourage redemption, IHOP has a printable coupon on the Seahawks Web site.

But wait, there's more. The Seahawks had more than three sacks, so fans can redeem a Jumbo Jack burger from Jack In The Box (99 cents). The team also had more than 100 yards passing, so that's a free doughnut at local sponsor Top Pot ($2.00).

And they team wasn't done there. XBox  gives 25 free yearly subscriptions to fans when there is a kickoff for a touchdown. Fifty fans got the item, which has a $40 value, thanks to the fact that Leon Washington took it to the house twice.

And a lucky fan won two Alaska Airlines tickets from Seattle to Hawaii (a value of $64 because the Seahawks scored within the final two minutes of the half/game.

The sponsor who got left out of Sunday's game was Great Clips, which offers a free haircut when the team scores a defensive touchdown (that didn't happen on Sunday). The team says Great Clips (average haircut $15) had a 10 percent redemption rate the last time the company gave away cuts. That would be 6,700 people.

Fans got the ultimate in that on Sunday, their Seahawks won. But the team's marketing partners also offered $1,580,738 in free product should the redemption rate be 100 percent (which of course it won't approach)

The lesson here for sponsors and teams is that just because there's a sponsorship deal doesn't mean that fans care about the deal. You have to make fans care about you and especially in this economy you have to give something away for free. Because if people haven't tried your product before, they certainly aren't motivated to do so because you are now a team partner. They'll do it if you show them that you appreciate them and that's what the Seahawks and their sponsors have done here.

Why does it pay to give something away for free? Because it doesn't really cost the sponsor much. Sure the retail value of the giveaways could reach $1.5 million for Sunday's game, but the actual value is much less. How much do you think it costs 7-Eleven to produce a small Slurpee (my guess is less than 10 cents)? Top Pot sells their doughnuts for an average of $2. How much does it cost to make one? Again, it's in the 10 to 20 cent range.

Expect teams in the future to follow the "freemium" model and get all their sponsors into the giveaway act. It's the only way deals will work these days and actually drive business.

i knew someone would take it that way... no I know Moss is one of the greatest to ever play the game and Deseasn is nowhere near Randy... but his argument was Desean isnt a top receiver cuz he is a great deep threat.... Moss has been a deep threat his whole career and thats it... Just because you arent there catching 10 passes a game doesn't mean you can't be a great receiver... Deseaon got 10tds of 50+ yards in about 2 years... obviously he is doing something right...
