  1. Please, please let Poles be a causality Bears.
  2. Don't see an NFL week 18 thread so I'll just discuss Lions/Vikings here, I like the Vikings. I believe they'll manage a key stop or two whereas, I don't see the Lions coming close to stopping the Vikings. The Niners, with a patch work OL, and other injuries on offense rolled all over the Lions. Niners beat themselves, it wasn't anything the Lions did on defense.
  3. Game with Washington was much closer than it should have been, definitely a let down by the young Illini. Still, they won, a win on road in Big Ten is a good thing. Hell, two wins on a West Coast swing, I doubt many Midwest/East Big Ten teams could have pulled that off.
  4. Yeah, they'll be in position to draft one of the top OL prospects.
  5. I find it ironically hilarious the Bears abused the Packers on special teams, totally faking them out of their collective pants with DJ Moore on the punt return. Take that GB special teams guru, ha, ha, ha. Another thing I noticed, the Packer kicker had to resort to the line drive on the 55 yard FG. You never know, that may come back to bite them in the ass vs. the Eagles. Although with Love and Watson hurting, I don't think giving the ball to Jacobs on every down is going to work in Philadelphia. Therefore, there's a good chance the game may not come down to a FG. Surprisingly, Santos managed to get some air under his kick, I thought certain he was going to line drive it right into a block.
  6. They've got to do right by Caleb, regardless of the circumstances he just helped end an 10 and 11 game losing streaks. Non of this Flores, Vrabel horsefeathers.
  7. No, they've got to give noodle leg the boot and enter the modern realm of NFL kickers.
  8. Maybe, hopefully, they take care of Washington on Sunday, if they do, they might inch into the top 20.
  9. Yes it was, thought the Illini, having the better back court, had a chance, well, turns out they did. Funny thing, while watching the beat down and face plant of Oregon in the Rose Bowl I was thinking what if the same happened in basketball? It was great to see Ben Humrichous finally break out, he's been struggling of late, and Tre White. He's not mentioned much when people talk of Illinois basketball, he's sneaky good.
  10. Well, if this is true, I've got no hope. Just resolve myself to the fact the Bears are stuck in permanent hibernation and nothing will change until the ownership changes. Flores or Vabrel, meathead defense, defense, control the clock, middling 8-9, 9-8, 10-7 here we come.
  11. The potential for an all Big Ten Championship game is certainly real, suck it ESPN.
  12. I know plenty of us are resolved to the fact the Bears aren't going to change their ways. The other side of the coin could be that Vrabel and Flores are the Bears doing their due diligence. After all, Poles did get McCaskey to break with tradition, etc. and fire Eberflus. Maybe, just maybe, they're not headed down the BS meathead defense path.
  13. One would think Poles, coming from Kansas City, might know the meathead defense approach is outdated and ineffective.
  14. Are they really that stupidly stubborn? I know, rhetorical question. Without rule changes the defense, defense BS is never going to work, again can they be that stupidly stubborn?
  15. Yes, don't where that team from last night was when they played Michigan.
  16. That's worse than Poles repeatedly horsefeathers up and keeping his team mired in losing?
  17. We don't know for certain but, at the moment, hiring Johnson and dumping Poles appears to be the "right" decision. There's a high probability the Bears will not do this, they'll horsefeathers the decision and Caleb up. horsefeathers up a potential superstar franchise QB is going to be the most egregious error the Bears will ever commit. What's more is this isn't even all that hard, I believe most any ownership and us fans can see the path to being competitive. I know the money keeps flowing regardless of outcomes. However, I thought these millionaire types have massive egos, does McCaskey like being the laughing stock of the NFL? Has this guy any pride or balls?
  18. I thought the same, appears the Texas defender did not lead with his helmet still, nevertheless, it was helmet to helmet contact on a defenseless player. Which, I think, is targeting.
  19. Simmons is out with an injury, hope the Bears stay away from drafting him, even if the injury isn't serious. I've had it with the Bears drafting injured players.
  20. Forgot about that, like you, when it happened, I had the same thought. He'd fit like a glove.
  21. Apparently, #71, Josh Simmons is another potential Bears' draftee. Thought Banks Jr. played well in the earlier game.
  22. I thought Texas - ASU was going to be a blow out and OSU - Oregon was going to be a close game?
  23. ASU deserves all the credit, despite, at times, appearing physically overwhelmed, they hung in, I hope they win. Suck it pro-SEC ESPN.
  24. This and someone should inform McCaskey his organization has no stability and there won't be any until he hits on the right combination of GM and HC.
