    I'm so confused by defensive coordinators disguising coverages and giving a variety of different combinations of down linemen and linebackers. I'm more used to Lovie running the same ineffective blitz packages and cover 2s.

    In terms of getting downhill and being a violent runner at the 2nd level Mendenhall is pretty close to Peterson. He's a sick talent.

    Freeman's got some skills.
  4. SpongeWorthy
    We seriously gave up a 3rd and 25?

    It's telling of one thing: all those teams show up in the Super Bowl or close much more consistently than the Bears. When the Bears are winners there's plenty of support. But too often they are a disappointment and that's your reason why other teams have stronger brands. Yeah, that plays a part obviously. Even in 2006 though I honestly thought the Bears were kind of a nondescript franchise to the average NFL fan. The Bears are in the top 10 in many of the valuation metrics but they're not where you'd expect the team in the biggest unshared NFL market to be.

    I mean, the Lions went 0-16 last year. yeah, but detroit has other sports. They also have Detroit.

    Here's a question for you Chicago guys: Do you guys get the sense that the Bears are not viewed as a flagship organization outside of the Chicago area? Meaning, do you think their national presence (for lack of a better word) is commensurate with the city they play in, the history of the team, and the local support? I think it's pretty telling of the ownership that the Bears are not put on the same level as the Giants, Steelers, Cowboys, Redskins, Patriots, Packers, etc. as football brands.

    Fox just switched to the GB/TB game and I'm not even annoyed by it. I think this is the earliest I've seen them ever switch coverage though.

    Didn't see the interview or whatever, what did he do/say? I didn't see it, I just heard the sideline reporter talk about it. He just said basically that it was 'ridiculous' that he would get ejected for something like that and was extremely disapointed that it happened. So wait, he was upset that the ref ejected him for punching another guy in the face? Or it's ridiculous that Harris would do something like that? He was "pissed" (come on it's Lovie) that Harris would do something so stupid.

    The Bears ownership really won't go after a top flight coach/eat Lovie's contract because of money? That's depressing.

    Cutler deserves very little blame for this catastrophe of a football team, or for what is happening in this game. Sure. But it doesn't mean I'm wrong.
  13. SpongeWorthy
    Cutler needs to pick up some yards on 2nd and 20 and give himself 3rd and somewhat managable instead of throwing it into quintuple coverage. He could've run for some yardage.
  14. SpongeWorthy
    Get Cowher on the phone. Now.
  15. SpongeWorthy
    You can't take a 10 yard sack Cutler. God damn.
  16. SpongeWorthy
    There are no words. Out talented, out schemed, out worked.
  17. SpongeWorthy
    Afalava is horrible.
  18. SpongeWorthy
    I don't mind airing it out. Not like this team can run worth a damn anyway. You just can't take 11 yard negative plays when you do that. Thanks Ron.

    Tillman's hardly the problem in the secondary. In fact, he's playing pretty well aside from some girly tackling.
  20. SpongeWorthy
    Nice toss Jay :cool:
  21. SpongeWorthy
    Hey another worthless A gap blitz.
  22. SpongeWorthy
    He was on top of Warner after a play, took his hand and deliberately punched him through the hole in the helmet right in front of a ref. It was Deuce Latui not Warner.
  23. SpongeWorthy
    I'd whine about Fitzgerald pushing off Peanut on that reception and not getting flagged for it but frankly this defense deserves to get a TD scored on it this drive.
  24. SpongeWorthy
    Nice tackling Tillman. What the [expletive] was that?
  25. SpongeWorthy
    I don't recall Peterson "mugging" Jones. He looked ineffective when Peterson was on the field because McElroy is terrible. Peterson is probably the best cover corner in the country. That being said, every BCS conference has a vested interest in getting a 2nd team in a BCS game and that needs to be corrected by having independent officials.
