    Smart. Learned from the NFL.

    DJ Williams did that too, and had a sure interception clock him in the side of the head.

    I don't usually pick games, because I'm terrible at it...and I still won't pick a score. But everyone will pick the Bears to lose this, so I definitely think they're gonna win it. Nobody can figure out this team, and this is gonna be another one of those we're gonna be scratching our heads wondering why we can beat this team and not the stupid Dolphins.

    I agree 100%. I think Trestman may be in over his head. After last year, I kind of had him pegged as an offensive (no pun intended) version of Lovie. Now, he seems like a B- version of Lovie - at least Lovie's defenses were elite. We're consistently seeing a team that doesn't appear to be prepared on a week to week basis. Honestly, at times it doesn't look like they are playing hard. They didn't pick up the fumble in the Packers game last year or against the Panthers this year, and the tackling attempts after Jay's interception yesterday were pitiful. It doesn't seem like they have a culture of accountability on the team. Speaking of which, why is Shea McClellin getting his starting job back after an injury? How exactly has he earned that? He looked like he was drunk out there. Just awful. I'm not gonna rant about the defense, bad as it might be, because I really expected so little. The defensive line has improved from last year...but the secondary is atrocious. But yeah, I agree with you about accountability. Everybody seems to get their starting jobs back whether they deserve it or not, and that's pretty dismaying. It seems like they value "chemistry" too highly. Seems like a very Trestman thing to value. Ultimately, I agree with you about Trestman. I've been a believer/defender until this week. But he's gonna have to win me back, cuz I'm not drinking the kool aid anymore.

    yup. So you're OK with him being a cancer in the clubhouse and personifying the diva receiver? That [expletive] is fine when you're dominating and going 6/150/2TD every week. When you're on pace for 800 yards receiving, you're the last person that should be stirring the pot. Also, the last offensive play of the game was a catchable ball that bounced off his hands. That being said, I like Marshall and a lot of it is on Cutler, but any sign of anything going wrong and he starts to revert back to his old self. Maybe doing that show in New York isn't a big deal, but if you miss 1 route, it's always going to be "maybe he doesn't have his focus" fairly or unfairly. Breaking news: Player unhappy about losing. Most players are a lot less likeable when losing. Marshall is a loud, passionate, outspoken person that's fun when he's winning, and not so much when he's losing.

    This is obviously complete speculation on my part...but I get the feeling that Cutler/the offense REALLY liked throwing the ball a lot in the 2nd half against the Falcons, and told Trestman/Kromer "hey, lets open this thing up and throw more. We're an offense that can move downfield!" So they gameplanned that...and the first half, it's all passing, little running...and the Dolphins play much better coverage than the Falcons did, and take away what the Bears were trying to do.
  7. Banedon
    The offense is still the concerning part though. There was plenty of belief that the defense would still be bad. Nobody can really be surprised about anything on that side of the ball. But Trestman was supposed to be an offensive whiz. But teams have adjusted...seems like they're able to keep the offense in front of them, and make the Bears have to beat them underneath...which for some reason is proving to be more challenging than it ought to be. I realize they've had some WR injuries that have contributed, but the playcalling has been weird too. Forte got only a few carries in the first half of the game, against a team that had been burned by the run last week.

    I'm sure it's just the media glomming onto some rather jarring pictures of a "landmark" stadium in the midst of what, to a layman, appears to be a rather indelicate process.
  11. Banedon
    Yeah, I mean our offense is a powerhouse and we're clearly WAY better then Carolina and Atlanta :roll: But shouldn't they be WAY better than us since their QB's don't throw untimely interceptions or something?
  12. Banedon
    Clearly that's a very important stat. I mean, look how well the Panthers and Falcons are doing.
  13. Banedon
    Sorted by average time to throw. Interesting. EDIT: Spoilered cuz it's a little big.
  14. Banedon
    He's the absolute worst. Never have I despised one of my team's announcers more than I do with King. He's a hype man. He's harmless fun for me.
  15. Banedon
    Of course, it was fun mostly because Thibs had the starters in and Atlanta was using D-leaguers for the whole 4th quarter. There was no reason for starters to be there aside from Thibs being psycho and having priorities out of whack. Oh absolutely. It was insanity from Thibs, but the crowd and team were into it enough, I was able to just soak it in and enjoy it fully.

  17. Banedon
    That 4th quarter was stupidly fun for a pre-season game.
  18. Banedon
    It so ridiculous to judge qb's on stats that don't favor my argument guys. You have to count the stats that make my argument look better, no matter how old and irrelevant.

    To go alongside this, Cutler's projected 16 game totals based on his play this year 416/611 68.1% 4,469 yards 7.32 YPA 35 TD 16 INT 97.4 rating
  20. Banedon
    Hahaha...I'm not necessarily a believer that the Cowboys will keep this up, but come on.
  21. Banedon
    McNabb has long hated Jay. He's said things like this before. Back in July:
  22. Banedon
    He also has 40 more carries than the next RB. No way he makes it through the season without injury.
