    Alabama deserves credit for coming back and all however, were where the flags for illegal hands/facemask and PI not only once but, really blatant on the Hail Mary? Number 8 was literally held down by the Alabama defender, he may have had the ball if he could jump.

    Wow, OU is terrible on defense, people not only open, but, wide open, no pressure on the QB. Should they make to the final, playing Alabama, I think there's an excellent chance the Tide will score on every possession.

    Mack gets held on nearly every rush, I wonder have the Bears been called for holding more often than their opponents?

    One of the best plays was Mack (I think it was Mack) stuffing Riddick at the line of scrimmage, believe the TE assumed it was going to be open. Hence, the lackadaisical effort and subsequent INT

    I'm not sure its an issue for the Bears. If their pass rush is present, Prince will get all the help he needs. The Bears issues will be on offense, and whether or not the Special Teams Player of the Week can follow up is "stellar" performance. man its weird Parkey won that. he just did his damn job I'm thinking the Lions are going to attempt hurry-up and quick short passes to negate the pass rush.

    Is it accurate to say teams have moved away from throwing the ball to the side of the field that Fuller' working? I maybe incorrect but, Sunday night Diggs did seem to be a factor until the Vikings moved him to Amukamara' late in the game. If teams are trying to stay away from Fuller, one would expect the Lions to try and lineup Golliday against Amukamara as much as possible. Given this, along with Golliday being the Lions only deep threat - Jones is out - do the Bears try to give Prince help?

    Florio isn't very good at predicting outcomes of football games. Isn't Kerryon Johnson and Marvin Jones sitting out this game, also? To me, Johnson and Jones sitting for the Lions is way worse than Daniel starting for the Lions. I get the home field advantage and all, and the slightly less rested Bears roster, but..... Plus the Bears receivers, and Panthers receivers for that matter, were able to get wide open vs. the Lions. Don't see how that'll be any different for Daniels.

    I'd like to the see Packers completely removed from the equation, I believe the Vikings will handle them Sunday, in fact, quite easily. Rodgers is playing hurt and you can see it, against a pretty ferocious Viking pass rush I'll be surprised if he finishes the game.

    Even when Hicks was making tackles for loss, he was dragging guys who had their arms wrapped around him. Time and time again. Hicks was an unstoppable monster last night, and the officials hate calling holding on Bears offensive opponents. Remember one instance where the OL nearly had him around the throat.
  10. gflore34
    Saying some of this on the Score this morning apparently, on both picks, he had open receivers underneath.
  11. gflore34
    It's probably true with most great pass rushers but, Mack gets held quite a bit.
  12. gflore34
    To be fair, Steve Pearce is some kind of October monster that can't be slayed. He's batting .286/.432/.600 in the postseason. Yeah, SSS and all that, but he was really good during the regular season as well. David Freese, seriously, if I'm the Red Sox, should he be in a position to beat them, I'd seriously consider pitching around this clown.

    Love the way the Packers lost, that was so John Fox Bears, awesome.

    If only for one season, I want a super Cubs team - sign both Machado and Harper - 2019 WS Cubs - Red Sox both having won 100+ games in the regular season games. Imagine the fun we'll have watching the Cubs bury the Brewers, Cardinals and the rest of the NL in 2019, want to say to my grand children - I was there in 1985 when the Bears crushed the NFL, in 1996 when the Bulls smoked the NBA, in 2013 (maybe 2010) when the Blackhawks devoured the NHL and 2019 when Cubs tossed MLB aside.

    I found the announcers prospective interesting basically saying Floyd trying to cover a RB was a recipe for disaster which, it was. However, I can remember Collinsworth going nuts, heaping praise on who ever that GB DL was covering Robinson (I believe) in the end zone. The difference? A shitty pass from Mitch. Mitch throws a good pass and GB looks just as horsefeathering stupid.
  16. gflore34
    Agreed nevertheless, very frustrated he missed a TD pass on each int and at least, two more. To look as shitty as he did against a truly awful defense is really annoying.

    Smoltz was talking something about 8 guys competiting for 5 spots, making it sound like all 8 are quality.
  18. gflore34
    John Smoltz says a lot of stupid horsefeathers.
  19. gflore34
    At some point you think their bullpen was going to blow up on them, if not in the NLCS then, the WS.
  20. gflore34
    Touching story and all about Kratz doesn't make him good.
  21. gflore34
    Teams that fixate on cheating usually do it too. The whole last month the Brewers have looked like they always knew what was coming. Without a doubt.
  22. gflore34
    Dodgers are coming back bitches.
  23. gflore34
    not sure if serious, but the point is to give the receiver an opportunity to make a play. the same reason QBs handoff to running backs behind the line of scrimmage despite seemingly wanting them to run beyond it. They usually are designed to be a wr screen, giving the wr the ball as quickly as possible with blockers thinking they can block their way to 5 yards. Then you usually have DB's and maybe an OLB to defend against, no monster DL's. Added to that is a wr or flanker in space is harder to tackle then a rb smashing through a line. If you do it well and do it when you catch a defense off guard it can go for big yards. Every team tries it. You also don't risk a sack. but when it goes bad it looks stupid. Every time. I'm aware of these things, maybe should have phrased differently? I wonder if there's statistics kept on the number of 3rd and shorts (say 4 -5 yards) converted on plays behind the LOS or the chains vs. attempted paases beyond the chains?
  24. gflore34
    Regarding this, I've seen the Bears do it several times, why do teams run some passing plays behind the LOS? In addition the you need 5 on third down but, you'll go a receiver who isn't past the chains.

    I wonder if I will be able to get him to write a retraction? I put a comment down but it is waiting to be approved. There are 0 comments to this article so I bet most are not getting approved. Don't know the author' background but, playoff baseball being as fickle as it is, he should have known better than to write such nonsense.
