Game 3: Team With No Mitch (PIT) @ Team With Mitch That Doesn't Play (CHI) Noon CBS

[Hairyducked Idiot]

No points at all? There is gonna be some dumb rules explanation for why

[Guest]

That would be 6th in the nfl on the year, or around the 20th percentile. Maybe "elite" just means different things to me than the rest of you.

 

I really don't know why you are choosing this hill to die on.

Because I'm right?

 

Not even close, and, quite frankly, you can't be trusted in any further arguments.

Bigger blunder: this or the time vs GB where all the Bears didn't go after a fumble with the playoffs on the line

How many elite rushing teams do you think there are? What would be the criteria?

[UMFan83]

LEts see how elite the running game is

[UMFan83]

HAHAHAHAHA SO DISCIPLINED

[Rex Buckingham]

Hahahahahaha so Bears.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Ha ha ha ha ha

[Guest]

Please bench Cooper.

[David]

HAHAHAHAHA SO DISCIPLINED

 

it was way too loud for that play too

 

i wonder if it's our fans still being idiots or if there's that heavy a steelers contingent

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Now block this kick and return it for a td

Already on his page.

 

"On September 24. Marcus Cooper made the most incompetent play in the history of the Chicago Bears by not running through the end zone a block kick return."

[David]

i still can't believe my eyes on that play

Oh, so this is semantics, huh?

 

So, the bears were #6 in ypc last season, and added Cohen, so yeah, the projection was reasonable.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

If this is an elite running game, then having an elite running game is slightly more valuable than an elite long snapper

Is elite top 10%? Is it top 20%?

 

I'm obviously being pedantic here, but you gents are throwing that word around like anyone in the top third is elite.

 

And ypg matters just as much as ypc.

[Soul]

I'm truly baffled by the level of stupidity that I just saw. I can't even process it.

And that was just from Tim's posting.

don't be an idiot

 

it would be a lot more impactful if they had any semblance of a passing game

Um, ok.

 

I thought they could be #1. Is that elite enough?

But you can't say "it would be better if..." and have it actually be elite. You could say that it might be elite if they had a passing game, but that doesn't make it elite right now. Right now it is a good, maybe very good running game. It could possibly be elite if they had a better passing threat and if they had the other 40-60% of the linemen they would like to use.

 

But I really don't get the argument that I'm only using the one game to judge them. I was using both games actually played this year. You guys were throwing out half the games played and only using a single game. And even that one wasn't "elite".

okay - you're still insisting that they ARE elite. Are you backing off of that?

Tim, stop.

Howard was 5th in DYAR (of 42 qualified RBs) in 2016, and they added Cohen, who through 2 weeks has been very efficient in limited volume. It's no Buffalo rushing game, but they're comparable with anyone else near the top (DAL, ARI, PIT), which easily puts them in the "elite" conversation except for the most semantically bankrupt.
