I think he meant the receivers being sodomized by the Green Bay DBs on national television was the humorous part.
-
Ok, a high 3rd rounder (Carolina should be terrible again) for Olsen is decent value. Sucks that there isn't anything coming back that can help this year though.
-
If we're gonna be dumb and stubborn about the offense might as well go in for Nnamdi
-
Has the Dan Conner thing even been confirmed yet? Also what pick did we get??
-
Look, it's easy to explain away almost anything as a team-related issue, except catch rate, which is pared down to only catchable balls thrown his way. If you are in the bottom 5 in the league in catch rate, and your only job is to catch passes, then you are not very productive. Correct me if I'm wrong but has anyone really determined the catchability of a ball yet. If the DB falls down and I'm running 10 yards free and clear is that ball just as catchable as something within arms reach but I have a DB running stride for stride?
-
bukie, just because some stat geeks are taking football/basketball metrics very, very seriously doesn't entitle them to have very good explanatory power yet. This stuff is in its infancy and football isn't a game of discrete events like baseball where this stuff is ever going to be captured all that well by the numbers.
-
Just because Martz is too stupid (stubborn?) to utilize him properly does not mean that he is not a very valuable football player. They threw plenty of passes to him. He just didn't catch near enough of them. How ever will the Bears replace Olsen's one good catch every 3 games now? Olsen has a lot of ability. He was maddening at times but I think it was pretty obvious that other teams considered him a threat, maybe even moreso than the midgets at WR. He was targeted a lot and inefficiently at times but that happens when your QB is running for his life and his "go to" receivers don't even know which foot to cut off of.

There would have to some actual building going on for that to be the case
-
lol PTNBL The Bears are the lamest [expletive] franchise good lord
-
Didn't he have microfracture surgery on his knee??? If so, that's a tough surgery to come back from... esp. for a WR. I doubt he'll ever be the same again. Yeah, I just read that. He says he's open to a one year deal to rebuild his value and prove he's healthy. Microfracture isn't what it used to be and it may be worth it to take a flier on him since it looks like the big fish are off the table.
-
Huh, I had no idea the NYG version of Steve Smith was a free agent too. If Martz really doesn't care about big receivers I think he'd be interested in him for sure.
-
I've never understood the fascination with Hasselbeck myself. He's very ordinary.
-
Thanks for that. I take back my original statement. Just a weird angle on that first picture from the Cubs game.
-
Toews should do better than that. Her head is enormous.
-
Maybe they think Devin A. will pull a reverse Berrian
-
They suck ass.
-
Why? The receivers stink.
-
Let's get into a tiresome semantic argument over whether "prize of the undrafted free agent class" is dumb phrashing or not. Because it is.

Schefter tweeted that the Packers are going trade or release Nick Barnett

There's magic in the ivy and the old scoreboard The same one I stared at as a kid keeping score In a world full of greed, I could never want more Than someday we'll go all the way Granted, it doesn't flow perfectly, but the next line finishes the sentence. How is that a sentence?

I admit that I don't know a whole lot about the NFL salary cap but after reading this: http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post/_/id/4670732/bears-free-agents-who-will-be-back ...and seeing that other article about the Bears being 37 million or whatever under the cap. Wow, it seems like they could add some really nice pieces. None of thsoe UFAs should command a huge amount of money right? They could add a little of everything.
-
A truncated season is good for the Celtics.
-
Maybe. That year Kramer put up numbers there were a bunch of crappy QBs inexplicably putting numbers up as well. I think Scott Mitchell was a pro bowler that season. Edit: Scott Mitchell passed for 4300 yards, 32 TDs, and 12 picks that year. Has to be one of the biggest wtf seasons of all time.
-
I'm hoping we can screw Jim in next year's draft. I realize he was probably the best Bears post-McMahon and pre-Cutler QB but those two brothers are [expletive] assholes.
