  1. I'm confident Gordon will return, Brisker not so much, complications due to concussions have ended careers.
  2. To me it's immaterial who's at QB for the Commanders, the Bears have a better chance of getting enough stops on defense to win.
  3. The Vikings are weakest in the division at the most import position - QB, I don't see how the Bears are easily the worst team.
  4. Yes, they are, unfortunately, here's to hoping their bullpen implodes in the World Series.
  5. I wonder if he would benefit from a position change, thinking WR.
  6. Watched the game on free preview of NHL Center Ice, until a PP towards the end, all they did, for about 5 minutes, is ice the puck. Thought certain the Oilers were going to capitalize on one or more of numerous opportunities off the icing.
  7. I was in the same boat, however, regardless of whom their playing against we're seeing things from a Bears QB that we haven't seen before. Looking defenders off, reading progressions, anticipation throws into small windows, these translate no matter the opposition.
  8. Thanks. Lacrosse, is in some regards, easier, simply because of less bodies - 6 vs 6.
  9. A slide happens when a ball carrier beats his defender and another defender comes over or "slides" to cover the ball carrier. By the way, for shits and giggles, Caleb played lacrosse in HS, makes sense, Maryland, kids are practically born with a stick in their hands.
  10. Being a lacrosse coach, the above sure reads like a slide, is this correct?
  11. I think the Lions are going to roll over them, losing Hutchinson is big blow. And, of course, the Vikings have some weapons but, they're the weakest at the most important position - QB. As we've seen with the Bears - bad QB + great defense < great QB + average defense.
  12. Saw the Commanders lost Jonathan Allen for the season.
  13. This is not Aaron Rodgers’ Bears anymore.
  14. Yep, except that was special effects. Somewhat reminded me of a battle scene from, I believe, Braveheart, where a rolling cannon ball completely removes someone' lower leg at the knee.
  15. The replay, seeing his lower leg being bent a right angle is cringe worthy.
  16. Just saw talk Tua coming back after week 8. What is he, one more hit away from living the rest of his life with mush for a brain? At the very least, he should strongly consider a Guardian Cap even though, as I understand, specialists and quarterbacks have not been given the go on them. I would think an exception can be made for Tua.
  17. Thought Rattler made a few decent throws, agree Maye was solid.
  18. So, yes, the Bears have taken advantage of some weak teams and beat up on them. The Lions did as well, at the moment, are the Cowboys any better than the Jaguars? They're better than the Panthers, though, not by much. I'm pretty confident the Bears could go into Dallas and handle the Cowboys, probably not the way the Lions did but, still, handle them.
  19. The unfortunate part is I believe Justin knew where the hot read is but, he's unable to overcome to the physical barrier of game speed. I think he's aware of it and it must drive him horsefeathers nuts. There's one thing I was fairly certain of when Poles drafted Caleb - that he'd be able to handle the speed of the NFL game, getting through the progressions etc. I knew this because the QB he signed, Bagent, doesn't have the problems with the game's speed, not like Justin. Signing Bagent that told me Poles knows what to look for in a QB.
  20. Because of, I guess, a general slowness, one could say Fields never gave the play calling, etc. no chance.
  21. Defensively they're solid, Darnold has a big time regression coming so, I could see such logic.
  22. I didn't get it either, Purdue QB is awful, nearly threw two interceptions in the second half, they were getting wide open on simple backyard football stuff. Even a terrible QB will connect when the receiver has no one within 20 yards of him. I'll add that Purdue got away with some blatant holding, on their big QB scramble Purdue lineman had Illini d-lineman hooked around the throat, thought certain it was going to get called. Nevertheless, the game being close was completely the fault of the Illini.
  23. I'll take the Illini winning a game they probably should have lost, just decided to quit playing after getting up 27-3. Purdue deserves some credit, it was more the Illini taking the rest of the game off than it was anything Boilers did.
  24. Sucks the Dodgers won, Darvish was very good, didn't think the Padres would turn into the 2015 Cubs vs the Mets the last two games of the series. We'll see if the Dodgers' pen can hold out, my guess is they'll make it to the WS before it blows up.
