    What a throw.

    They don't have faith in their defense and felt they could catch GB off guard with an onside kick, I guess. It was a crazy call but it was a yard from working. It's always a yard from working. Either a guy gets it 9 yards from the spot of the kick or a guy is one yard short from being able to grab it in the air before a defender can or it goes out of bounds 11 yards from the spot of the kick. I look at it like this. Onside kicks work IIRC 10% of the time so Tomlin was essentially saying he believes his defense had less than a 10% chance to stop GB from taking the lead. I think we can all agree Pittsburgh would have stopped GB at least 1 out of 10 times in that situation speaking hypothetically obviously. I didn't see the onside kick but a surprise onside kick definitely works more than 10% of the time. I'm sure this one qualified as a surprise. The 10% recovery rate is for the vast majority of onside kicks where everyone in the stadium knows its coming.

    None on offense. Briggs and Peanut on defense. Maybe Wale or Harris.

    Aaron Rodgers is a fantasy monster.

    Anyone still think the receivers aren't a horrible, horrible unit?

    It was obvious Mason was not very good. He was awful. You know what guys do? They respect your ability. You can be 90 years old, but if you can go out and play, they'll respect you. Mason was not only a guy, he was terrible. OK? There's no other way to say it. He couldn't kick the ball through the uprights.

    He has many "skills" problems. Terrible feet, inaccuracy, on top of being a dunce cap. He needs a coach that can build him up from scratch.

    Hester lost a fumble against the Bengals.

    So is the rest of the team. I prefer Great Taste over Less Filling. Your move.

    Jay Cutler is a loser.
  11. SpongeWorthy
    Was the pick Cutler's fault?
  12. SpongeWorthy
    If they wanted to show some true motivation they'd roll over and die and make it really hard to justify bringing Lovie back.
  13. SpongeWorthy
    He already threw a pick?

    Woohoo!

    Sweet, Vinny draws up two final plays that fail to even get the ball into Derrick's hands.

    Hey we're not getting blown out by the Hawks...yet.

    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?
  19. SpongeWorthy
    When did Bobby Knight get a leg to stand in criticizing the behavior of other coaches?
  20. SpongeWorthy
    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.
  21. SpongeWorthy
    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.
  22. SpongeWorthy
    Nothing publicly that I've heard. I'm just saying the line exists. I think it's probably short of rape or murder.
  23. SpongeWorthy
    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.
  24. SpongeWorthy
    Hester hasn't done anything in 2 months.
  25. SpongeWorthy
    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.
