    Chills! Video recap was excellent.

    Sounds like with Paea missing chunks of the game with turf toe, Wootton shifted inside and McClellin played way more than anyone would like to see. I've been optimistic that McClellin would turn the corner and become a solid situational pass rusher. Well, he did turn the corner and then went in the wrong direction. He was terrible in the game from my point of view.

    Because I hate watching him play. I don't want him on the team I root for. You know he's really good right?

    I don't think it's fair to call Colston random at this point, with all his accomplishments. But it's very fair to question whether Colston would be random in most other situations. 7th round pick. Not very well known out of college. Not a freak athlete at a position full of freaks. He lucked into a situation with an offensive genius of a coach, a HOF QB, and he got a break with a lot of injuries forcing him into the lineup early on in his career. That being said, he's taken advantage of the situation and become a good WR, and the league is full of these guys. Welker was rather random before NE. But neither of those guys are close to being random at this point.

    Colston and Brandon Marshall have remarkably similar career numbers, so unless you consider Marshall a random, then Colston sure isn't. Colstons QB has routinely put up 4500-5200 yards every year. Marshall has played with a 3700 yard QB just once.

    That's one playoff expansion from half the league making it in.

    @BradBiggs: Fox is sending its No 1 crew of Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Pam Oliver to call # Bears #Saints game on Sunday at Soldier Field.

    Yeah, Stafford was held under 300 yards. CJ had just 4 catches for 44 yards. Bears had more total yards on offense than the Lions. If I knew that would be the case coming in, I would have said the Bears win. But that 2nd quarter. Catastrophe. 27 points given up in a single quarter. Unthinkable. Gave up 21 on a span of 4 offensive plays for the Lions. I think it was 8 plays total including the Bears getting the ball. Cutler 1st play INT after 1st TD. 3-and-out after 2nd TD.

    Earl Bennett almost died from getting hit in the chest after going across the middle. No penalty.
  10. rawaction
    Everyone played poorly. But the Bears have a shot to win if Cutler is mediocre at worst. The bend don't break worked on D when Detroit didn't get the ball in our territory 3 times in 1:30.
  11. rawaction
    Yeah NO traveling to Chicago on a short week should favor the Bears quite a bit.

    Flacco threw 5 picks today. He won a Superbowl. Guys like Cutler, Flacco, Romo, Stafford, and probably even Eli and Big Ben (at the top of the group) are just guys who are prone to have games like this. None of them will ever be in the Peyton, Brees, Brady conversation. None of them may even be Ryan, Luck, whoever, but all can/have won Superbowls. All of them are good QBs who can get hot. For Jay, he just has to make sure the first 3 games are the norm. He's had these games before, but they've been added to a great game and maybe a couple mediocre games. If he has 3 games with ratings in the 90s and then throws up a stinker like this. Sure it'll suck every 4th week, but that'll be good enough to put the team in position to consistently win games.

    On pace for 12-4 though, sky is falling.

    The Lions put up 40 points, but I thought the defense was OK. They definitely gave up too much in the run game, but the offense really screwed them today. The 3 TD drives they gave up were 22 yards, 2 yards, and 51 yards. They held the Lions offense to 3 points in the 2nd half to keep the team in the game. And they stopped 3 drives that started at the Lions' 40 or above for 0 points, in addition to holding to a FG on a drive started at their 31. Lions had a great gameplan and really gashed the Bears when they went nickel, with 2 deep safeties. 3-wide, single RB, and they had 6-on-6 in the box to block with nobody to account for Bush.
  15. rawaction
    Yeah, he and Alshon totally bailed out my day fantasy wise. Yeah I started Cutler for the first time this year over Russell Wilson. Wilson led 4.6 to 0.5 to start the 4th quarter.
  16. rawaction
    this loss is like 90% on Cutler.
  17. rawaction
    Why can't he be consistently good?
  18. rawaction
    simple gameplan. See nickel, 6 in the box, run Bush. 4-3 base, throw it.
  19. rawaction
    so, that's a solid drive, no?
  20. rawaction
    Minter not active. New guy Cohen is after signing like 2 days ago. Michael Ford active instead of Joe Anderson.

    i don't, but we'd likely need to see something resembling the Winter '12 Pirates offseason formerly great gambles at open positions of need Russell Martin : Curtis Granderson, Nelson Cruz Francisco Liriano: Josh Johnson, Matt Garza?, Scott Kazmir known-quantity potential shutdown RP Grilli: Jesse Crain, Eric O'Flaherty, Casey Janssen, Rafael Betancourt do something like that and you're able to put yourself in the position they were this spring; you'd still be wanting some guys to hit the upper levels of their projections (Burnett=Shark, Melancon=Strop, Marte=Lake)...and a couple reasonable rebounds from core players might ideally approach McCutchen (plus RF black hole) stratosphere Wow. I'd be OK with a Cruz, Kazmir, O'Flaherty offseason. Not the big splash that people want, but could shape up to be a decent team if some things go right (bounce backs from toung players). OF- Cruz, Lake, Sweeney, Schierholz IF- Rizzo, Castro, Olt, Baez, Valbuena SP- Samarzdija, Jackson, Wood, Kazmir, several 5th options RP- O'Flaherty, Strop, Parker, Russell, Villanueva

    Yep. While u were sleeping. .....
  23. rawaction
    I'd take Choo for 6 over Ellsbury for 7, which was in the OP.
  24. rawaction
    Where does he play defensively when he's 34-36? He can't play a reasonable OF at 29-30. I think u overrate his lack of ability on defense. If he gets on base 40% of the time who cares if he stinks in LF (where I'd put him next year and beyond). Like I said its going to be a bad last 2 years anyway. But I think its worth it if he provides a much needed boost to the team approach.
  25. rawaction
    Even though they havent fully established themselves yet, I'd settle for Wil Myers, Moustakas, Gordon, and Hosmer......with our guys having more power across the board.
