Well, that streak will be put to bed and an ip (in person?) or SouthSideRyan at Illini BB games winning streak will start.

After this game, them not taking care of business against Rutgers at home would be so Illinois basketball the last decade. I believe the previous game and this game is a start towards consistency in effort, with that, they'll be in the tournament. Rutgers is a big game. They’re a good team, but one we have to beat at home. I really think they’ve turned a corner a bit, but part of me thinks they’ll but punch us not because that’s what they’ve done for the last 15 years. I’m so excited for next year. As long as ayo is the only departure, I think we could be a lot better. I share your trepidation however, in BU first two years they've started BT play 0-4, 3-2 is quite a departure from those last two starts. So, maybe, is safe to say they've turned a corner.

Glad the zebras didn't manufacture a foul on Ayo to bail the Badgers out - [tweet] [/tweet] If anything it's a foul on Davison, love the way Davison runs away with his arms up trying to draw some [expletive] call.

They're still way too inconsistent in effort on a game to game basis. After this game, them not taking care of business against Rutgers at home would be so Illinois basketball the last decade.

It all depends on if they can knock down a few outside shots. You will never win a big ten game going 3-26. Also interested in how they can get Giorgi going a little more. He's been in quite the funk as he doesnt really fit the offense at all when Kofi is in the game. Definitely, cannot have the shooting night they did vs. MSU, I do not think they will, they may not shoot lights out but, they won't be as terrible. Finally put an end to that streak!!! Good horsefeathering night Bucky!!!! Really proud of the Illini, fought and fought, one-sided officiating, even on Ayo' game winning 3 Davidson had him hooked.

Illini at Wisconsin tonight, I'm optimistic they'll snap the Badger' streak against them. Years past, Wisconsin was legitimately better, do not believe that's the story tonight, Illini may have the better backcourt and the Badgers haven't faced an Illini team or, any team this season, with the likes of Kofi Cockburn in their frontcourt. I've been optimistic before only to have them completely underperform and play like horsefeathers nevertheless, Illini have a real good chance to be only the second team to win on the road during conference play tonight.
-
Thanks for the answers, I thought it may be a fairly low risk move perhaps, viewing picking up his option as a positive message to rest of the team can't hurt either.
-
Question regarding Mitch' contract, as I understand it the Bears have until May to pick up his 2021 option. However, he's still under contract for 2020 regardless of the Bears exercising the option. Why would the Bears pick up his 2021 option?
-
Seriously. I did not agree with the 10 second run off to save the TO but whatever. Why do you kick it with 7 seconds left and that TO still out there? With Drew Brees at QB. Let him put one in the corner of the end zone. If he gets sacked you use the TO albeit with a harder FGA but to me the risk is worth it. Agree, he was content to play for the tie, why not let Brees go for the win?
-
My dislike for a few a Saints aside, that was a kick in the balls.
-
Id be willing to give that a chance, but can Tom Beady run an RPO? He's old and has regressed quite a bit but, he'd probably be an upgrade from Mitch and, shockingly, he'd have a lot more weapons around him with the Bears than he had in NE.
-
I know there's some Saints fans here but, couldn't happen to a bigger bunch of dickheads in Payton, Lattimore.
-
Lattimore giving up on the long completion to Thelen was so Bear. Wasn't he one of the dickheads making fun of Cohen?
-
Dalton? Do not believe he's upgrade over Mitch more of lateral move, I believe Nagy' got work with the QB he has. To that end they've got to improve the OL and run blocking, be a run first team in 2020, it's the only scheme in which Mitch is going to have success. I'd think the so-called offensive genius Nagy could figure something out.
-
You are tripping if you think the Saints do anything this postseason. There is some sort of dark magic that has been screwing with the Saints the past two postseasons. It WILL return. Nah, this team is the best of the Payton/Brees era, even better than the Reggie, Pierre and Colston teams. The defense and running game will travel and the O line is getting healthy. I know you’re half kidding about the black magic stuff, but if the Saints have another heartbreaking loss I may give up sports. With the horseshoe GB has had up it's ass all season and playing in GB, it wouldn't be shocking if the lose and in a heartbreaking manner.
-
Nor do I, I know many have said we'll probably have to grin and bare it for 2020 but, there's got to be better options. However, consider this, Pace has fucked up the QB position twice (Glennon signing and Mitch), I believe there's enough evidence to suggest he does not know how to find or what is a good QB. Do we really want him trying his hand at QB again?
-
This is my nightmare offseason. You use more or less all your cap space locking yourself in for years to a painfully average QB, and you still need at least two starters on D (plus a ton of depth), your OL is in shambles and your TE position is a black hole. That's a "dear god, let me get some bounces this year so we can maybe go 10-6 with a divisional round exit and that's probably enough to save my job" offseason. Beyond the light bulb suddenly going on for Mitch in season 3 of Nagy' offense what's the solution?
-
Is Mariota one a real possibility for the Bears? Heard the average passer rating in the NFL is 91, Mariota' had year below 91 - 75 in 2017 - otherwise, he's an average QB which is big upgrade over Mitch.

There are throw aways and bad throws - think Rodgers ability to ground the ball without being called for intentional grounding has anything to do with those stats? I have no idea how they judge them. but Trubisky does have a knack of hitting receivers well. whats weird is earlier in the season he was air mailing throws over everyone, and it seemed like he did it a lot. the stats def don't rhyme with the eye test It is bizarre take yesterday he missed a certain TD to Robinson in the first half, think he missed one in the second half as well don't remember the intended target. But, it was someone who got behind the DB and most certainly would have scored. Guess it brings around to he's got the physical tools but, not the mental tools. Wouldn't be surprised if he has a stronger arm than both Mahomes and Watson.

I would have thought they'd be in the top 10 in those categories still, not very good. I'm sorry, I meant on target and on target % the Bears are in the top 1/2, which is surprising. They are very low (bottom 1/3) in bad throws %, however GB is near the top of that category. puzzling There are throw aways and bad throws - think Rodgers ability to ground the ball without being called for intentional grounding has anything to do with those stats?

Found this - https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2019/advanced.htm perhaps, the above only includes currently active players per team? thanks, drop % is what I was looking for, Bears are in the top 1/2, but hardly top 10. Also, look at thrown away, New England has like 40, the Bears dead last at 5. youch however, bad throws and bad throw % has the Bears in top 1/2. Not what I would have expected I would have thought they'd be in the top 10 in those categories still, not very good.
-
but at what rate per attempt? Found this - https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2019/advanced.htm perhaps, the above only includes currently active players per team?

http://hosted.stats.com/fb/tmleaders.asp?type=Receiving&range=NFL&rank=232 - Bears are 4th, believe, at one point, they were leading nevertheless, I find it amazing the Falcons, thus far, have dropped only 4 passes.

Mitch 100% made that read pre-snap. He's not comfortable making post-snap reads so he tries to compensate with pre-snap. That's being nice, simple fact is he's incapable of post-snap reads.
