    Yeah we were definitely fortunate to not have a better return there.

    That flag is awesome. I can't believe some enterprising SOB hasn't already printed up and sold a ton of them for the Winter Classic. I start to think before every game that the Hawks should win. But sooner or later a dud is coming. I'd just like to see them carry a 10-game streak into Wrigley.

    Hester is gonna get himself decapitated that way...

    Well, I can't believe it, but nice drive. WTG AP!

    I was listening to PFW this morning in the car and they were talking about how much the San Diego defense has improved since Rivera took over as DC several weeks ago. And then we have this.

    I didn't know we had Brandon Lloyd. Huh. Well, nice throw Kyle.

    Sounds like a lot of Bear fans in Houston.

    Anyone have a link to a stream?

    I'd take Bradley, but I'm not thrilled with the possibility.

    Seems like to me the market is pretty soft. Tons of people bought season tickets just to get these tickets and resell them. Just too much supply.

    This is ridiculous, but if we ever have an owner that cares enough to do something like this, I don't want the league imposing rules that keeps them from doing so. Besides, isn't even more funny when they buy all these players and still don't win?

    That's the only place you'll actually be able to see the whole game. Sightlines are going to be terrible and a lot of folks are going to be disappointed. There will be jumbotrons for people to watch on too.

    NFL Week 17

    kujay replied to bukie's topic in Other Sports

    I can't believe the Rams are playing on FOX the same time as the Bears. And it's an away game so it won't be blacked out due to non-sellout. [expletive]! I'll be going to a bar, most likely...

    I've been satisfied with his progress. It was unrealistic to expect much more. You've got a mediocre QB, a line that gives that QB no time and no other threats at receiver. Put Hester on a team with a decent passing game and he'd be an excellent weapon. Maybe this is overly harsh, but I'm not sure Hester is smart enough to play WR. Returning punts is relatively simple on the brain. Run through the hole. Then run faster. We know Hester isn't exactly a brain surgeon. I just get uncomfortable having dumb players on the field.

    What about the horrible waste of a timeout towad the end. They were indecicive about going for it, then tried to change personel, then had to take a timeout when the play clock ran out. It was a sign of a poorly coached team, which the Bears are. I thought that entire drive wasted too much time. Very poor clock management. In my mind, they had to either score on 4 plays or pin the Packers back and force a punt, while still having enough time left on the clock to make one last effort to get in. They got lucky and got into the endzone (they just barely got the first down, although I think if it was short, replay would have still given the Bears a first down), but if they didn't, I'm not sure they would have had enough time to stop the Packers for 3 plays and still have enough time for one more drive. I think the yellow line was the problem on that 4th down play for TV viewers. It didn't look like he reached the line, and the spot was even more short of the line, but the actual first down markers were a good 10 inches shy of the yellow line. I was jumping up and down when I saw that spot and already yelling for Lovie to challenge it. So yeah, the line was definitely off.

    Pipe dream. It would be amazing, but it's not happening.

    I don't think so. If the ball was obviously going to go out at about the 2-yard line, why would the guy knock it back in unless he thought it was a live ball? I think they all thought it was. So what was Jones to do? Unless there was an official making some sort of signal that he could look back and see to indicate the ball didn't touch the punt receiver, he was in a catch-22. It was not a catch 22. You down it at the one. If it did touch the guy, worst thing is Bears ball on the Packers 1. The ball wasn't obviously going out on the 2. It was going toward the corner. It could have hit the pylon but the first man down tapped it backward to prevent that from happening. If an official thought it was a fumble he would have thrown the blue bag and that would have been in front of the players faces. And with the way Forte was running the ball at that point in the game, that one yard may as well have been 15. I know what you're saying, I just think that expects a bit much of these players to think like that. They thought it was a live ball, so they took it into the endzone.

    ^That's pretty funny.

    I agree. They played awful for most of the game until Forte was finally able to get it going. And Orton is unbelievably bad. This is way worse than Grossman ever was. At least when Grossman was bad it was because he was trying to make plays. The INTs by Orton last night were things a high school QB should know not to do. I'll admit, I've never been an Orton fan. But he's not going to take this team anywhere and I hope they don't sign him for next year. Disagree. When Grossman was at his worst he made last night's Orton look like a solid QB. At least when Orton is bad he still makes the occasional pass and doesn't completely crap the bed and give it all away. He's still been awful recently. The only reason Orton's picks didn't completely "give it all away" last night was because the Packers were pretty inept in their own right. Those throws were inexcusable.

    I just watched it a few times. It didn't go off the very tip of his blade (which would have been highest off the ice). It hit off a bit up the shaft, which wasn't as high. The standard being the height of the crossbar, I don't think it's clear that it shouldn't have been a goal.

    Expect to be able to see everything going on, not just what the cameras show on TV. That's my favorite part, is being able to watch plays develop. Hopefully the atmosphere will be good, but if the game is in Tampa I would imagine it won't.

    So who sits? I would maybe put Johnson in there instead of Sopel, though I'm starting to get the feeling I'll never like Sopel no matter how well he plays and that he actually hasn't been bad lately. I can't even remember now who is filling in for Burish. Adams?
  25. kujay
    I figured it would be more than that, given the face values of the tickets.
