    That's as bad an INT as Rex ever threw. Just brutal.
  2. SpongeWorthy
    Horrible.

    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.

    I can't wait to see what Turner concocts for this drive.
  5. SpongeWorthy
    lol

    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.

    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).

    Wale and Davis jawing at each other during warm ups. Afalava out for the Bears, Bruce out for the Niners.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    CLANG
  13. SpongeWorthy
    This team is threatening on not putting up 100 on a horrible Raptors defense after scoring 60 in the first half.
  14. SpongeWorthy
    I love how Vinny pulls Rose for 11 uninterrupted minutes of Hinrich and Pargo.
  15. SpongeWorthy
    The overhead camera angle was the only conclusive shot but I thought it was conclusive nonetheless.
  16. SpongeWorthy
    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. SpongeWorthy
    UGH Sadly it was the right call. God damn, that was such a tease.
  18. SpongeWorthy
    Lu's done an amazing job Ding Melo.
  19. SpongeWorthy
    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. SpongeWorthy
    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.
  21. SpongeWorthy
    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.
  22. SpongeWorthy
    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.
  23. SpongeWorthy
    Freeman's got some skills.
  24. SpongeWorthy
    We seriously gave up a 3rd and 25?
  25. SpongeWorthy
    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.
