  1. As defeatist as this sounds I believe its pipe-dream to think Hendry is going sign a high impact FA. The most we can expect are more DeRosa like signings, Hendry has no problem spending the money, his problem is doesn't know whom to spend the money on. That's our GM, a day late and a dollar short...
  2. And unlike, Dusty, Lou may actually employ such a platoon.
  3. Hendry' trying the Cardinal MO: 1. sign average to below average player - DeRosa - check 2. average to below average player goes on to have career year - check whoa there, not so fast, Jocketty would have gotten him for 2 years/3 million and the career year was last year.
  4. For me it was sticking it in Hoculi's face. The guy obviously hates the Bears. Up yours, Ed. What was his problem? That manufactured call against Briggs, picked up the holding on Gilmore - good call yet, Ed and his crew missed Daneial Manning having his jersey ripped from his shoulder pads during Barber' long 3rd quarter run.
  5. For me, beyond the Bears winning, the best part of the night was Hunter Hillermeyer knocking the kicker on his ass during Devin Hester' return.
  6. When was the last time the DL pressured the QB?
  7. Am I missing something? Or did a holding penalty just cost the Bears a down as well? Giants took the penalty should have been third down , right?
  8. Depends on how they'd use Gage. It's a mistake to try and get him to do the same stuff Berrian does, as Gage is not a burner. He's more of a leaper, who should be able to go up and get some balls over top of CB's. Doesn't Gage have trouble catching balls? If I recall correctly he dropped a lot a passes last season.
  9. Worked for the Dolphins and the "angry" Jason Taylor...
  10. Listened a little to the Bears Report with Hub Arkush last night on B&B, trying to pick up on whether or not Gage is going to play. There was an interview snippet with Mark Bradley, said his role was going to be somewhat limited. Hub also mentioned Rasheid (or Rasheed?) Davis' role wasn't going to change significantly either, leaving me to deduce that, very unfortunately, Gage is going to start at WR Sunday night. Did anyone else catch the remainder of the show? Hope I'm wrong about Gage...
  11. Even without the blitzing, Miami's D-Line made the Bears O-Line look terrible, they just abused them, they couldn't protect Grossman and give the runners good lanes. On the flipside, the Bears D-Line looked worse than the Bears O-Line which is saying something & why they were demolished. The Bears have to adjust to how teams are attacking them with quick 3 step drops and quick passes. Oh that's right the "angry" Jason Taylor but, seriously, I agree the offensive line was terrible today as a result, they put the defense in bad positions all day.
  12. They're 4-4 that's about right, an average team.
  13. How many times did Miami blitz today? For, its becoming obvious Grossman is having trouble handling or adjusting to the blitz. I'm guessing the Giants are going to blitz, blitz and blitz some more, knowing this, let's see if Turner is worth his salt. If a team' going to blitz away there's got to be a way to beat it...
  14. He can be angry all he wants fact is, his team is going to be 2-6, with Joey Harrington as its quaterback and is not going to even sniff the playoffs this season.
  15. I think that was on Gage...bad route. I'd consider going with Hester, bottom line, Gage should not play another down as a Bear WR.
  16. Nice run by Brown, Briggs tackled in pursuit...
  17. Will the Dolphins be called for holding today? I'm not excusing the Bears poor play but, Harris was being held on that TD pass.
  18. Love the way the Officiating was all over the PF on Manning but, missed a blatant hold (of Wale) and illegal use of hands by Booker, quality....
  19. Block by Booker - no Diedorf, it was a push in the back by Booker.
  20. I was going to ask if anyone else noticed, Wale, flat out tackled by the center I believe.
  21. Does Thomas Jones' first move ALWAYS have to be left or right?
  22. Is there a San Diego Padre equavilent to northsidebaseball.com? If so, I wonder what' the reaction to Baker interview...
  23. Watching what Seattle did in the NFC Championship, I kept thinking why didn't the Bears do the same? It appeared Seattle double-teamed Smith and dared Carolina to throw to anyone else.
  24. I'm completely convinced that some of the people here as the Cubs GM, with the same resources as Hendry, would have had the Cubs in the playoffs.
  25. Whoa there...calm down before you start typing. Good advice, the Red Sox manager was John McNamara and Buckner drove in 102, guess I should check the facts as well...
