I thought Marshawn Lynch's 67-yard touchdown run against the Saints on Sunday was one of the greatest individual efforts in NFL history.

Bears defensive end Julius Peppers wasn't quite as impressed.

It's not that Peppers didn't think Lynch, the Seahawks running back who will be playing at Chicago on Sunday in the divisional round of the playoffs, had a great highlight-reel run. But from Peppers' perspective, as a defensive player, he thought the run was at least as much about the Saints' inability to tackle as about Lynch's performance.

"It was a great run ... the effort that he displayed was amazing," Peppers told the Chicago Tribune. "So, it's also a lack of effort on the other side by a couple of guys. I don't think we will have that problem this week."

not that i don't believe him

he's actually a good reference because since he did it so often in carolina he should know

haha, at least Pep sacked the qb when he got there. I cant count how many times I've seen Charles Johnson get instant penetration and just get sidestepped by a slow qb and miss a sack completely. Thank god he doesnt do that anymore

What the fug?? When the hell did Peppers start talking like a normal human being instead of the "Umm..uhh..yeah...umm.. that was a good run" crap that he used to always give the Charlotte media??

He was talking to Charlotte Disturber reporters. He brought it down to their level. :lol:

Well the first time the Bears and Seahawks met Lynch accumulated an earth shattering 44 yards on 17 carries. Peppers isn't lying, that was a great run but some piss poor tackling. I just don't see the Bears defense giving up 67 yards on one run in this game let alone missing 8 tackles on one play. The Saints defense played bad that game but so did Seattle's for the most part. the Bears held Green Bay's high powered offense to 10 points on the road just two weeks ago, I think they match up well enough with Seattle's offense as well. Should Seattle win I'm pulling for them to take the whole thing!

      THIS MIGHT PISS OFF SOME STEVE SMITH SR. FANS:  He WAS detrimental to this team.  Sure, he is on the hall of fame ballot and is probably our best player ever--but he punched 2 teammates--and that is the tip of the glacier.  Remember, I watched him haze and belittle Dwayne Jarrett at an OTA. Jarrett even reacted by giving me a hard hand slap when I mentioned it to him--.  I know bullying when I see it (educator who has written books about trauma caused by abuse and bullying) I have commented on the fact that nobody seemed to be friends with Smith except Kasay.  He was a bully and the coaches allowed it. Bunch of Alpha males chewing the tall grass. Here is a list of all the WRs Steve Smith 'mentored" after they were drafted:  2003: Walter Young 2004: Keary Colbert, Drew Carter 2007: Dwayne Jarrett, Rhyne Robinson 2010: Brandon Lafell,  Armanti Edward, David Gettis 2011: Kealoha Pilares 2012: Joe Adams That is 10 WRs drafted and only 1 had some degree of success, Brandon Lafell, who averaged around 600 yards a season for 8 years in the NFL--it is noteworthy that his numbers increased after leaving Carolina for NE.   This proves nothing, but it is interesting and coincides with the list of free agents we brought in during that time.  My argument:  It is possible that whatever Smith contributed to this team could be a result of bullying others into more diminished roles--Smith called it competition, and in fairness, he was the hardest practicing player I ever watched at OTAs over the years.  But it seems he was Napoleonic in his approach to teammates, possibly damaging the unit and keeping young players from developing--transitioning from college to the pros must be intimidating--especially when an established player is constantly attacking (challenging, to Smith) you as you are trying to learn the plays and culture.  It was so bad when I saw him doing it to Jarrett, it pissed me off.  I think Jarrett was pretty slow and was unsure of the plays etc--it was his rookie OTAs.  This is not proof, just an interesting possibility.  If you have ever had someone at your place of employment with some authority start harassing you, you might understand how a 21-year old kid might feel.
