  1. Up top to Jeffery first play.
  2. End this game now. I want a safety or a very short field then an OFFENSIVE TD.
  3. Jags came into this game 30th against the run, 20th against the pass, no sacks since the opener, don't cause turnovers. They aren't very good. The Bears should be better than this.
  4. 3 receivers 4 DBs in the same place.
  5. hasn't been good all year
  6. Carimi is not very good.
  7. It was. Some terrible designed route calls vs. man coverage. Nobody can create separation other than Marshall and he's being doubled.
  8. How was he not offside? Good Lord what a jump!
  9. Or not. STill another perfect throw.
  10. Covering well for the most part. Of course, Blaine [expletive] Gabbert is making perfect throws every single time.
  11. YAY Colts! YAY a 3rd down stop!
  12. Chris and Edwin inactive along with Khalil Bell, Ozougwu, Collins, Bennett, and Rodriguez
  13. Indianapolis and Green Bay are playing too. They are the 2 geographically closest teams to Chicago.
  14. Anybody seen this? Funny as [expletive]! http://www.totalprosports.com/2012/10/05/what-if-nfl-quarterbacks-were-all-friends-on-facebook-pics/
  15. A couple stats to make me a little more confident of tomorrow's game being the blowout that it should be. - Jay Cutler is 8-1 in his last 9 games, with the team scoring 30ppg in those games. - The Bears are 7-2 under Lovie the week AFTER playing on Monday night. In all 7 wins, the Bears have scored at least 34 points. Strangely enough, they are 6-0 on Sunday after playing MNF on the road. Of course, the 2 losses have been monumental. The complete disaster that was the Giants Sunday Night game, and the season ending loss to Houston to keep the Bears out of the playoffs a few years ago.
  16. Of that list, I'd be most intrigued with Derek Holland and Brett Anderson, with Casey Kelly, Jhoulys Chacin, and Wade Davis a tier behind. Have my doubts that the Rangers or A's would move Holland or Anderson unless it's a really quality package. I'd put Kelly in that first tier. Well, I'd put Anderson in a tier by himself then Holland and Kelly next.
  17. Quick glance at these numbers show me: Henry Melton has been really good. DJ Moore has been much better than I thought (had a great STL game, I thought he was below avg vs. Dallas, but didn't give up big plays and had 9 tackles). The Bears do seem like they've had their share of amazing punts against them. Now that I look.... Opener- McAfee had punts of 63, 57, and 54. His other 2 punts were under 50, but were downed at the 3 and 5, respectively. Week 2, Masthay had punts of 56, 57, 54...with 2 other punts inside the 20. Week 3, Hekker had punts of 56, 55, and 52 Week 4, Moorman didn't have any huge punts, but he had kicks get downed at the 6 twice. A couple of these were touchbacks, but still these are amazing punts for kickers who's primary goal is to keep the ball away from Hester. We've seen several punters shank a ball trying to pin Hester toward the sidelines. Nobody is doing that so far this year.
  18. Tebow will be the starting QB in week 6. And theyll inexplicably start winning
  19. Don't see a thread for this and the games start tonight. Gotta give all those Rams/Cards fans something to talk about tonight!
  20. Yeah Seattle, Arizona and Minnesota look a lot better than expected. Still Id be pretty disappointed by a 3-5 finish. 4-4 worst case and it wouldnt give me much hope if none of the wins were vs SF, GB, Arizona, or Houston...meaning 0 wins over likely playoff teams as of now.
  21. If there is any letdown with this team, I expect it to be defensively. The D hasn't exactly carried the team this year, but did have all the momentum plays (TD give them a 10 pt lead, TD to give them 14 point lead, INT as Dallas looked to close the lead to 7). I'm not saying the defense won't play as hard or necessarily won't play as well as they have, but it's easy to get up for the season opener vs. a rookie. It's easy to get up for Aaron Rodgers. It's easy to get up for Tony Romo. Someone mentioned this game reminding them of the Eagles game, but after the Eagles game 2 years ago (Sunday night game), the 8-3 Bears (on a 4-game win streak) went into 2-9 Detroit and kind of went through the motions. The defense didn't play horribly, but didn't force any turnovers and allowed the Lions to convert 6 of 14 third downs (1 of 2 fourth downs), only forcing ONE 3-and-out the entire game. They didn't get a ton of pressure in that game. A poor running team was able to get 5 yards a pop against them. Stanton had a 102 QB rating. Part of me is expecting that type of game again. The defense has more veteran players possibly looking forward to the off week and dreading the short week. They are more "comfortable" in their ability to make a play when needed. The offense came to life this week, meaning less pressure on the D to force the action and try to score some points to help out the O. But it's hard for me to imagine any way for the Jags to score more than the 2 TDs the MAX the Bears D has allowed to anyone this season. And if the Jags can't get more than 17, they aren't going to win. I'd rather not have to deal with much drama in this game though, so hopefully I'm way off base here.
  22. Owen Daniels. Jets could continue to be a disaster all around. Benson. Easy.
  23. It helps to know who else is on your team and if PPR or not. I probably wouldn't do it, though either way. I like Nelson more than Wayne going forward (at some point when they are obviously going nowhere the Colts will try to develop other WRs). And I like Graham more than McFadden going forward. Your RBs are serviceable if your WRs/TE are as good as they look (assuming Jordy isn't your clear cut #1 WR). It's always funny to me when people pass up RBs in the draft and then a few weeks in the season complain because their RBs aren't any good. If those are the 4 RBs you drafted, you probably passed them up for about 4-5 rounds. When you do that on draft day your choices are to either live with it or get screwed in a trade.
