  1. Time to bomb it before we get too close to the end zone.
  2. I'm having a hard time getting over that pick. He's so surgical when he needs to be and then he turns the Grossman brain on down near the goal line.
  3. it was horrible play calling in the red zone. Two boring runs with a bad rb behind and bad line, then a play action without any recievers. Unbelievable. Cutler forced it because he probably had to. That throw/decision was indefensible. The play had no chance of working from the beginning and that's on Turner (and the whole sequence of downs) but Cutler HAS to throw that ball away.
  4. That's as bad an INT as Rex ever threw. Just brutal.
  5. Forte is actually making something out of nothing on some of these carries which is helping a bit...the timing of the hand offs seems off though. Forte's never at or near full speed when he's getting the ball even if it's a basic power play.
  6. I can't wait to see what Turner concocts for this drive.
  7. There's exactly the kind of receiver the Bears lack. I think Crab caught that but I'm not sure there's enough to overturn it.
  8. I'm looking at Kevin Seifert's breakdown of the Bears defensive decline: http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth/post/_/id/5893/tracing-the-bears-defensive-decline What's the deal with Gilbert, Melton, and Moore? Are they ever gonna see the field? The list of defensive players we've drafted since 2005 is pretty shocking(ly bad).
  9. Wale and Davis jawing at each other during warm ups. Afalava out for the Bears, Bruce out for the Niners.
  10. All numbers put up under Nellie ball need to be taken with a huge grain of salt, IMO. You look at their roster and think they should be good because they have a number of effective players (fantasy wise) but they're a horribly constructed team full of swingmen, combo guards, and tweener forwards. The Warriors basically answer the question of what would happen if you took the best possible pick up basketball team and unleashed them on the NBA.
  11. I don't see any offensive solutions for this team. The lack of three point shooting is glaring. There aren't any lanes for Rose to drive through with the defense sagging in. There's way too much pick and roll and not enough Rose in isolation (which admittedly would be hard to run when you have NO floor spacers that can shoot). Hinrich and Salmons can't bury a decent look if their lives depended on it.
  12. And by threatening on not putting up 100 I meant 90. 29 points in the second half. 11 in the 4th quarter. They scored ONE POINT in the last 6:24 of the game. Salmons and Hinrich were a combined 4/21 from the floor. How the [expletive] do you score 60 points in the first half and not even hit 90 for the game?!?! Brutal.
  13. This team is threatening on not putting up 100 on a horrible Raptors defense after scoring 60 in the first half.
  14. I love how Vinny pulls Rose for 11 uninterrupted minutes of Hinrich and Pargo.
  15. The overhead camera angle was the only conclusive shot but I thought it was conclusive nonetheless.
  16. Although if home town cooking ever counted for anything it would've been right there. That was as close as the Devin Harris buzzer beater from last year.
  17. UGH Sadly it was the right call. God damn, that was such a tease.
  18. Lu's done an amazing job Ding Melo.
  19. Brad Miller is contractually obligated to attempt one bounce pass a game that has to go through 4 defenders and has zero chance of being successfully completed
  20. This team can't get a decent look on offense with Kirk running the point. I have no idea why Vinny insists on yanking Rose halfway through the first quarter and giving Hinrich 10 minutes of burn but he does it every game.
