  1. 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?
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. For the most part, got their collective asses kicked in the ALCS.
  5. Anyone else think the clock is going to strike midnight on Miley tonight? I've feeling we'll see the Brewer pen very early today.
  6. buttering us up before taking us to the slaugherhouse no kidding [tweet] [/tweet] His [expletive] is patronizing and insulting, I'd tell him to shove it up his ass.
  7. I looked at the box score, he threw five pitches?
  8. Why not? He'll probably toss 5-6 shutout innings. Dude, get real. CG SHO 10K. Better yet, I hope they do win the World Series, if they do, it'll probably be because of their pen, which is very good. If they win most especially with the likes of Miley, Chacin , giving them 4 + good innings. They'll have to bring them back next season (haven't looked at their collective contract status some may be back regardless). Upon which Miley, et. al. will realize who they are, the 4+ plus innings out of your starter, then, the pen, works in the post season, regular season? Not so much.
  9. Don't believe the Bears will have many problems moving the ball and scoring, maybe the D makes a couple of stops and the Bears win 35-31? Hell, if every Brewer starting is all of sudden Bob Gibson, the Bears can beat the Pats.
  10. Miley, Chacin, Gonzalez the really good Brewers starters thus far, guess Gonzalez is out, so who will see next? Davies or Anderson? Maybe Chacin on short rest on Friday? Why not? He'll probably toss 5-6 shutout innings.
  11. Maybe the Brewers are really good Miley, Chacin, Gonzalez the really good Brewers starters thus far, guess Gonzalez is out, so who will see next? Davies or Anderson?
  12. Bears should have won regardless but, I did find a missed blatant holding call quite funny, think it was one of the LB's. He was going to nail Gore for a loss but, couldn't get to the spot because the Miami blocker was holding his anke!
  13. He was the terrible QB we saw for most of the first 3 games in the 1st half, was definitely better in the 2nd half, wasn't quite so terrible.
  14. Literally gave the game away, defense was terrible the whole day couldn't manage to show up for at least one series.
  15. What Superman didn't hit a walk off? What the horsefeathers?
  16. Appears they gotten it wrong in BB as well, just sad, they've been surpassed by Northwestern (in BB as well, long surpassed in FB). Completely disagree, Underwood was a great hire and they have a really solid, deep class coming in this year. That is an awful take for a single year. I hope you're correct, although, I believe he's the only Big Ten Coach without a 2019 commitment which is discouraging.
  17. 5 mil a year for Lovie. I know coaches usually deserve 1 full recruiting cycle but, they would be justified if they canned him. Appears they gotten it wrong in BB as well, just sad, they've been surpassed by Northwestern (in BB as well, long surpassed in FB).
  18. Awesome MSU!!! Love seeing Penn State go down!!!
  19. Given how they've been playing with every move working to perfection can you blame him?
  20. They've only 6 SR on the whole roster, I know playing all the FR will payoff at some point but, it is Illinois and Lovie Smith.
  21. I despise Penn State, shouldn't have a football program at all. I know Franklin wasn't there and its irrational but, I loathe him.
  22. Isn't Counsell himself an example of a crappy hitter who had a hot streak during the playoffs? By the way, I'm shocked the Dodgers managed to get a run, thought DP for certain after the Puig K.
  23. That happens often in the playoffs some random otherwise bad player gets on a hot streak. He'll go back to being a terrible hitter next season.
  24. First HR off a SP all year Smoltz just mentioned, by the way, that's probably the ball game. What's Miley' status for next season? I hope the Brewers get duped by this hot streak and add him to their rotation in 2019.
