  1. So is the rest of the team. I prefer Great Taste over Less Filling. Your move.
  2. Jay Cutler is a loser.
  3. Was the pick Cutler's fault?
  4. If they wanted to show some true motivation they'd roll over and die and make it really hard to justify bringing Lovie back.
  5. He already threw a pick?
  6. http://www.gifsoup.com/view/109962/drose-o.gif
  7. Sweet, Vinny draws up two final plays that fail to even get the ball into Derrick's hands.
  8. Hey we're not getting blown out by the Hawks...yet.
  9. It probably has something to do with him never cheating and being one of the best coaches ever. Who bitched and moaned more than Bobby Knight when someone had the temerity to criticize his obvious, sociopathic behavior?
  10. When did Bobby Knight get a leg to stand in criticizing the behavior of other coaches?
  11. Gibson's been playing well off the bench lately. He's not a long term starter but he's a solid rotation player and that ain't bad for the 26th pick. James Johnson is the bigger concern. This guy needs to just work on his 3s or something and become a poor man's Rodney Rogers.
  12. It could be worse. Last year it seemed like the Browns were on primetime a bunch. I'm sure that's how people feel about seeing the Bears on so many primetime games this season.
  13. Nothing publicly that I've heard. I'm just saying the line exists. I think it's probably short of rape or murder.
  14. There's no line of behavior that a player could cross that would make having him back out of the question? That can't be right.
  15. Hester hasn't done anything in 2 months.
  16. It's not hard to tell the receivers are pretty much an abomination. Maybe they have potential but they're pretty awful as a group right now. There isn't an elite athlete in the bunch. Hester and Knox can fly but they're midgets. Aromoshadu is probably the best combination of size and speed but who knows about him really. I haven't been impressed with Bennett. He's not physical at all. There surely isn't a receiver on the roster who would crack the starting lineup of any team that has a good passing attack. How many times have the receivers caught a ball in traffic? How many times have they cut off routes that led to incompletions or picks? Can you recall a play where a receiver threw a good block downfield to spring a big run? These things just haven't happened. It's a cliche but there aren't any guys making plays. The line sucks. The run blocking more than the pass blocking. And some (most?) of the problems can be attributed to Turner and a lack of coaching for Cutler but the receivers have been horrific as well. Watch an Eagles, Steelers, or Packers game...those guys aren't protected any better than Jay. But they're good QBs, mobile, and they have receivers that other teams actually fear. It makes a huge difference.
  17. The Knicks set an NBA record by attempting 29 threes in the first half. The game record is 48.
  18. offensive line without question. There are no receiver stars, but there are a couple guys capable of being solid 2s. The line is completely inept. I will not debate this. No need to debate it, either. It really is self-evident. It's self evident that the Bears have one of the worst receiving groups in the league too. So I think there's some debate over what unit is worse. It's clear that the Bears have one of the worst RUN blocking units in the league (and a tentative back to make things worse) but there are plenty of teams that pass protect just as bad or worse than the Bears. The Packers have a very effective passing game with pass protection that is a lot worse than the Bears. They also have very good receivers.
  19. Sweet, we're getting run off the floor by the Knicks.
  20. I guess we can hold out hope that the Bears management will have a change of heart and start throwing around gobs of money in a potentially uncapped year. Jackson or Marshall would be god sends. Mankins too.
  21. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/wr The Bears don't have a single receiver that is league average. That's horrible.
  22. The receivers are the worst unit on the team.
  23. That doesn't sound good.
  24. I don't think Locker would've been a top 5 pick when the evaluations really started on him. He's more of an athlete than a QB at this point. He definitely could use another year.
