  1. i really wish we had a lead blocker on some of these short yardage runs lol
  2. ben doesn't know what to do in short yardage in a neutral state apparently, no shot plays, no trickery, no window dressing on any of these downs
  3. can't run for a 1.5 yard loss on 3rd and 1
  4. i just find it weird we basically have no QB designed runs ever in the game plan it's good for health/longevity but with guys crashing down and caleb's legs/ball handling those should be chain movers and a weapon around the goal line. oh well, nice not to be in a huge hole at half time.
  5. https://www.reddit.com/r/chicagobulls/comments/1qb8b41/silvy_calls_out_chuck_swirsky_on_air_chuck_is_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button lmao silvy went thermonuclear on chuck swirsky
  6. hindsight is 20/20 but I liked Ben going forth TD “early” on the final drive from a game theory standpoint, a couple of other times this season we lost momentum in similar situations by trying to bleed every second
  7. i can’t believe last night actually happened lmao
  8. i'm still bandwagoning the idea that we need to throw to get a lead and run to salt it away, our run game has been dog horsefeathers for a month
  9. thick lower half, yoga instructor since like middle school, he's been trained well in that regard
  10. holding teams to field goals is the best we can hope for i think we need to play a higher variance style in the playoffs
  11. idk but I'm hoping ben has some designed QBs runs that he's been holding back, we haven't really featured it at all (except some sneaks). i think they can be a chain mover for us.
  12. the play action was absolutely bottled up, I think the INT and grounding were both on PA and I don’t recall many chunk plays off of it either, running game has been pretty fringy the last few weeks as well Jaylon Johnson was making a lot of business decisions out there as well
  13. Any word on what the packers are looking like health wise next week? I know they sat everyone today
  14. my bull case for the defense is that I think the defensive back 7 will hold up better in coverage against non shanahan/purdy teams and maybe that flu got around the team more than showed up on the injury report
  15. i'll give DJ a pass this week, he probably shouldn't have been out there and wouldn't have been in zaccheus and rome were good to go (and burden was pretty much a GTD). i'm sure burden being completely gassed by the end of the game was because he had to run every route 150% because dj was half speed all game.
  16. come on man, it was crossbody across the ENTIRE width of the field with pressure rearing down on a do or die play. no QB makes that throw. DJ needed to get back in the play more (which he was sick as a dog so I'm sure he was gassed out)
  17. the first one was a bad miss, the 2nd was to ****** monangai with a DB rearing down on him that wouldn't have gone anywhere even if it were caught. the last one...yeah duvernay was wide open but the pressure was immediately in his face. most QBs take a sack or throw it away way sooner there and only a phil rivers moonball gets to duvernay. i thought the heartburn on that one was pretty absurd.
  18. burden seems to be a much better separator than rome and he's an animal after the catch. rome needs to make more tough/big man type catches.
  19. my other cope is that the flu going around affected a lot more players than ever showed up on the injury report, the defensive line played with no force outside of booker here and there and i think our DBs would've held up in coverage better if they weren't sick. also, caleb hasn't been sacked in the last two games and hasn't turned the the ball over since the last play of the first GB game.
  20. yes i think so. rome is a nice player but has he even been average for a top 10 overall drafted WR? he leaves me wanting more. burden is really explosive.
  21. i think GB is a lot worse than any other team we could play in round 1 so i'd go for the win against detroit. the fact that we haven't had a bye since week 5 is interesting though.
  22. bulls BACK (to .500 and play-in territory)
  23. how are you guys getting ESPN 1000 out of market for bears games? sirius? i was driving during the browns game and was pissed off when i learned espn 1000 defaults to national programming during bears games out of market
  24. on further reflection, lafleur blowing that 3rd and 1 situation in OT is horsefeathers hilarious
