Samardizja is also projected to go ahead of him-in fact, I hate this bitterly because most mock drafts have Samardizja going to the Patriots in the first round. :( I'm curious if the Bears have given any thought to drafting Samardzija. Lord knows they probably won't pick defense yet again. don't be so sure of that. need to replace Mike Brown, may have to replace Briggs, both Wale and A Brown seem to have lost a step (although Wale was an animal yesterday), the line isn't as deep as we all thought at the beginning of the season, and everyone always needs another CB.

sorry to go back to back to back with my posts, but I have a solution to help the lack of lefty bats. Todd Walker, your 2007 secondbaseman.

link /recalls hendry talking about sosa in 05' im just sayin... do you apply that same rationale when he talks about Izturis?

I see your point, but I think Lou will appreciates Murton's talents a little more than what's his name.

Week 13: Bears vs. Minnesota - Sunday, Dec 3, 12 pm CST

I was on top of it in the other thread, only not so verbose :lol: -
I was saying to Warp earlier that it will be a helluva game. I don't expect the Badgers to win this one, but who knows, maybe with Arkansas stumbling passing game and UW's good pass D, they will be able to stack the box and slow down McFadden. or maybe Stocco can get deep a couple times on that DB that kept getting burned last night. whatever the case, the oddsmakers will have UW as a heavy underdog. it's always a good bet to go with UW to cover the spread in their bowl game. just one more thing. UW is not the single dimensional team of the Bollinger/Dane days. they did average over 200 ypg passing.

so one thing that is always interesting about the interim between the bowls. with all the practices but no games, under classmen and other non-starters often step up and emerge as good players for their team, often surpassing all season starters. UW has had a couple defensive lineman really emerge during practice leading up to the bowls over the years who ended up being difference makers at the beginning of January even though unheard of during the season. anyone have any sleepers they expect to be an X factor come bowl season?
-
what is with those? does the local Pop Warner know NFL refs broke into their locker room?
-
going to have to crap in both our cereal bowls Soul. NO and Dallas are tied, so the Bears will still have a little work to do after next week no matter what. plus, NO is closer in the tie breaker. I don't think that has enough playoff implications for me to root for Dallas though.
-
Fixed. what on earth is with you right now?
-
Do you even realize that the bowls pick the teams they want in a certain order or does that fact escape you? Your utopia scheduling is totally unrealistic. well I should have condemned both the sentiment and the system in general in my post, but I think your tone is way out of line regardless of my omission. I was merely pointing out that the bowl games in general will suck. I think that's pretty hard to argue with.
-
I said earlier that all five of the top bowls behind the Nat Champ would be more compelling. I take it back. the best football game to watch this year will be the Cap One bowl all the other games will be blowouts. what a shame. the matchups even amongst the teams picked for the BCS could have been arranged so much better to create more compelling games. doesn't this sound alot more entertaining OSU v. UM Florida v. Louisville Boise v. Wake LSU v. USC Oklahoma v. ND but no, they had to blow it all up due to the 'I don't want to see a rematched even though I've seen multiple rematches before and played it up as a good thing' sentiment.
-
this bites as that matchup will do nothing to settle the long debate. Wake blows.
-
if they don't, this post is buried in the morass of electronic dribble drabble. if they do, you pull it back up and thump your chest. you gonna make your case over the next four weeks?

I wouldn't call it a non-controversy. ok, how about this. He's riding Grossman into the ground for bad performances against the 2, 8, and 10th defense in the league while worshipping the ground of Romo for his work against defenses in the bottom half of the league. (granted Grossman had a bad peformance against one bad D and Romo a good peformance against on good D.) not a quip to you. their just driving me a little goofy. -
Cowboys remaining schedule is junk. I'm saying it right here: they win out and finish 12-4. Which means the Bears can't lose more than 2 of their remaining 4 games to maintain HFA. Bears remaining games at StL Tampa at Detroit GB Dallas remaining games NO at Atl Philly Det now I am not really disagreeing that HFA isnt' a lock, but are you watching the same NFL I am? I would think the Bears have an easier time of it from here on out. who has the tie breaker anyway? Bears haven't lost to an NFC team yet, so I would think they do, so the Bears can lose two game with Dallas winning out and still have HFA yes, that's what I said. You think NO, Atl, Philly, Det isn't easy? Who among those clubs will deliver a loss to Dallas? I guess I still think NO are pretenders----I'm thinking Dallas exposes them handily. I misread what you wrote at first. but I honestly think that Atl has a better chance of beating the Cowboys than StL does against the Bears. here's another way to look at it. Bears can clinch HFA next week.

If it's a tear, he's done until next October. is this official or speculation? Answering the question "will he be back in time for the playoffs?". If it's a tear, he might be back in time for the 2007 playoffs. Even if it's really a sprain I don't see him being ready in 6 weeks. I missed the "If" in your prior post for some reason. it it's a tear, I agree with your assessment. done for the year. if a sprain, it all depends on the degree of sprain. -
The common denominator in Soriano's best seasons are him spending the majority of the time leading off. and we haven't had a terrorist attack since 911 because of George Bush. in other words, there is no reason to believe there is a cause and effect relationship.

put Hester under the goalpost

hmmm. no criticism for the decision to go for it all on one play. sure, Rex threw a bad ball last week, but isn't that the thought process exactly the same there?

My point was that a good defense isn't everything and doesn't make you a good team and doesn't mean you should automatically be ranked. well you glib refutation of the way things typically go without taking anything else into consideration (with the above three teams, coaching and discipline comes to mind) doesn't defeat my point in it's entirety. I look at the teams 19-25 and can say with confidence that if Penn State played all six, they would beat at least three of them. to me that means they should be ranked. yet unsurprisingly, the SEC has the top ranked 1 loss team, the top ranked 2 loss team, the top ranked 3 loss team, AND Tennessee, who shouldn't be in the top 25 at all.
