    Meh, this game was the most reasonable loss to chalk up no matter what. Doesn't really hurt the team overall, just would've provided a near insurmountable cushion. Now they don't have that and just need to beat KC, Denver and Seattle.
  2. bukie
    Not true. Dallas leads the NFC East.
  3. bukie
    A pick 6 would be fantastic.
  4. bukie
    Thus...the one drive past the 26 yard line.
  5. bukie
    Time for a special teams TD to make it interesting.

    On the bright side, Hanie is playing terrible, the Raiders have made one single mistake and have almost no penalties, and the game is still winnable at halftime.
  7. bukie
    The biggest issue right now is that the Bears' special teams is getting out played.
  8. bukie
    Hanie is not performing anywhere near replacement level right now.
  9. bukie
    Other than the lapses on defense, turnovers, penalties, and bad offensive playcalling, it's not going too bad so far.
  10. bukie
    So you're saying Hanie might just be the second best QB on ESPN's front page?

    Am I crazy for thinking about playing Kevin Smith against GB over Chris Johnson against TB? EDIT: Seriously... Two of: Chris Johnson vs. TB Kevin Smith vs. GB Green-Ellis @ PHI Pierre Thomas vs. NYG Starks @ DET Two of: Nelson @ DET Maclin vs. NE Torrey Smith vs. SF Bennett @ OAK Garcon vs. CAR Plus one of the above for flex. Right now I'm leaning Kevin Smith, Chris Johnson, Nelson, Maclin and Green-Ellis.

    Slow release + lead feet + Bears offensive line = not good. Orton was performing at just about replacement level this year before his benching. I'd rather see if Hanie can do the same while also being mobile.
  13. bukie
    Wow, now that was a half.

    This week, FO ran two sets of playoff odds, one assuming the teams would all continue as they have played, and one with the QB play of Houston, Chicago and Kansas City replaced by a replacement-level player (which actually not affect KC's rating much). Playoff projections odds with current play: Playoff projections with Chicago, Houston and KC using replacement-level QBs:

    This year? Absolutely, and it wouldn't be a contest.
  16. bukie
    He's been worse than Tarvaris Jackson, Donovan McNabb and Kerry Collins this year. And I don't see anybody scrambling to sign Collins. He's barely been better than Tim Tebow, for Theo's sake.
  17. bukie
    For any QB to be effective in the Bears system, they'd have to at least either be able to move or release the ball quickly. Orton does neither, so...no thanks.
  18. bukie
    Use a lot of screens and short passes to get Hanie settled in. Oakland doesn't have an efficient pass D, mostly just pass rushers, and the Bears can take advantage of that.
  19. bukie
    Now compare the special teams numbers.
  20. bukie
    Those would be the "Most familiar player on the best team who isn't a pticher" ballots.
  21. bukie
    One voter had Fielder first, Braun second and Kemp 3rd.

    So, Illinois plays two real teams the next couple days in Cancun. I only hope this is more successful than the nightmare Vegas trip two years ago that resulted in them not making the tournament.
  23. bukie
    Is the ESPN game play airing the game more people want to see? Because it's a no-brainer.
  24. bukie
    Today's optimistic note: Look at Hanie's most similar player comp for his performance to date
  25. bukie
    So, to win my fantasy matchup this week, I needed Law Firm to outscore Wes Welker. Mission accomplished. [/nobody cares]
