  1. Yeah, it will probably be closer than last time, but the 49ers are a much better team. Packers need Jimmy G to make some bad decisions/throws to win. That's not too far fetched, he's a tick or two better than Mitch and completely capable of Mitch level bad play. If the Niners get the ground game going the Packers are done.
  2. They're not wrong. That's ok, after they lose in SF their Packers will be just like the Bears - watching the SB.
  3. Perhaps, but Minnesota’s O-Line is trash. Packers line much better IMO. SF pass rush is much better than Seattle', should cause some problems for GB.
  4. I would like to wait to see this game end before assuming the Packers are moving on I could see the Packers getting lit up next week, all the numbers suggest they're an average team, perhaps, the weakest number 2 seed in quite some time. Of course, they'll probably go all 2006 Cardinals (took a quick glance at Baseball-Reference, that was one shitty WS winning team, didn't realize how bad) and win the Super Bowl.
  5. Niners, they're at home and GB's defense is vulnerable.
  6. There's a hold.
  7. If Seattle does not turn the ball over they've got a good chance.
  8. Houston' got go on this 4th they've not come close to stopping KC since the 2nd Q.
  9. Jimmy Garoppolo is not all that good, is he? 49ers better hope its not up to him to win the game.
  10. Illini come up big and beat a very good Rutgers team, had a little bit of a let down after the win at Madison. Nevertheless, they pulled it out while shooting terribly, pounded Rutgers on the boards this was the key to victory. An observation - When Kofi gets the ball at the rim, he's got slam it, there's literally no one who will stop him without fouling. He'll learn.
  11. Just curious, it appears a handful BT teams get 3 consecutive conference home games whereas, everyone else has 2? Maybe the schedules I'm looking at are incorrect but, it appears Iowa, Michigan, MSU have 3.
  12. Well, that streak will be put to bed and an ip (in person?) or SouthSideRyan at Illini BB games winning streak will start.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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. I believe the previous game and this game is a start towards consistency in effort, with that, they'll be in the tournament.
  16. 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.

  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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?
  21. 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?
  22. My dislike for a few a Saints aside, that was a kick in the balls.
  23. 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.
  24. I know there's some Saints fans here but, couldn't happen to a bigger bunch of dickheads in Payton, Lattimore.
  25. Lattimore giving up on the long completion to Thelen was so Bear. Wasn't he one of the dickheads making fun of Cohen?
