    What was the difference between the hit of Harris, which drew a personal foul ,and the hit on Grossman (on the play that was reviewed and deemed to be a forward pass)?
  2. gflore34
    True enough however, you forgot the fact that the Cardinals have had perhaps, more good fortune than any other team in Baseball History. And we all know, good fortune and the Cubs are not bed mates.

    I thought Gonzalez was going to the Cardinals? I wish he was; he's not good any more. Let's hope its the Dodgers, because, an aging veteran on downward slope signing with the Cardinals has all-too familiar and tired outcome.

    Even without Randle and Smith(for all intensive purposes) we would have won if Brock would have got all of Richards minutes. Those two passes were absolutely terrible. Arizona is going to destroy us. I believe the Illini will hang in there with defense (the other night vs. Maryland notwithstanding) and rebounding yet, lose. If only someone would adpot the attitude Maryland' Vasquez had the other night - I'm going to the hoop and making plays, try to stop me. Or, in other words - FU UA and Lute Olson, you're going to react to my play, not the other way around. Chester Frazier or Calvin Brock maybe?

    I'd like to believe that's a possibility but, everything or one the Cardinals touch turns to gold. No doubt, under the tutelage of the great Dave Duncan and in Cardinal Red, Wells will go on to have the season of his life. Including going 4-0, with an ERA and WHIP both under 1, against the Cubs. Duncan's tuteledge didn't do much for Ponson, did it? The rare exception perhaps, I should have written almost everything or one the Cardinals touch turns to gold...

    Agreed, what of Turner taking advantage of teams consistently blitzing? Seems to me that, save for the Jet defender falling while covering Bradley, the Bears have yet to burn a team blitzing.

    Don't forget Cotts is hoping for a chance to earn a spot in the rotation too... With such a collection, a decent fifth starter should emerge from: Miller Prior Guzman Marshall Marmol Mateo By the way, should Prior be on the above list, is there realistic chance he's going to start 20+ in 2007?

    Something like: DeRosa & Agent: Well, Jim, were looking for something in the neighborhood of 2yrs/3 mil Hendry: 3 yrs/13 mil and that's my final offer!!!!
  10. gflore34
    Expect the worst and hope for the best?
  11. gflore34
    There may very well be something brewing however, why do I keep thinking the player(s) aquired will be along the lines Mark DeRosa, Juan Pierre or and, not someone like A-Rod? Or in other words, someone who'll put up numbers similar to an Angel Pagan or Ryan Theriot but, at much higher cost.
  12. gflore34
    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...
  13. gflore34
    And unlike, Dusty, Lou may actually employ such a platoon.
  14. gflore34
    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.
  15. gflore34
    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.
  16. gflore34
    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.
  17. gflore34
    When was the last time the DL pressured the QB?
  18. gflore34
    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?
  19. gflore34
    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.

    Worked for the Dolphins and the "angry" Jason Taylor...
  21. gflore34
    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...

    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.
  23. gflore34
    They're 4-4 that's about right, an average team.
  24. gflore34
    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...
  25. gflore34
    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.
