  1. Is he the best coach on his own team? Lovie looks a WHOLE lot better when he has other guys that know what they're doing calling plays and able to do their job. Lovie doesn't have to do as much with this team as he has since he forced out Ron Rivera. Marinelli, Tice and Martz are all doing a really great job with this team. It's a team that's developing. Tommie Harris, Zach Bowman...I don't think those guys get pulled last year. I think that's Marinelli doing that.
  2. What about the holding penalty on Tauscher that negated the Packer TD? I say it evened out. Except that Tauscher held. And Melton hit Rodgers in the head with his helmet. Your point? Well if that's your argument, why didn't you say so? lol Why bring up Tauscher's hold? It's irrelevant if you think Melton's penalty was legit. Keener thought it wasn't.

  4. I'm not sure what you mean. First few weeks of the season we beat GB 26-0, DET 34-7, MIN 19-16, defending NFC champ SEA 37-6, BUF 41-7 before the lucky Arizona game. Before that game we were generally regarded as the first or second best team in the league. We were #1 in ESPN power rankings. Yeah, they started off great...you're right. But as the season went on they were winning with ST and Defense. I didn't mean that it was following the pattern game for game. Just that the style of wins has some similar characteristics. Don Banks already pretty much writing the Bears off as "lucky".... http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/don_banks/09/28/packers.bears.5things/index.html
  5. I'm ashamed to admit...I'm glad that we don't see the Packers again till the last game. I'm hopeful that game will be irrelevant.
  6. I'm not going to suggest this is a Super Bowl year for the Bears, cuz that's obviously putting the cart WAY before the horse here... But is this season reminding anyone else of the start of the Super Bowl run a few years ago? The Bears "lucked" their way to wins...were generally ridiculed for not being as good as their record would indicate, and generally under-appreciated nationally. Hester running back kicks, Bears winning with bend (a lot) but don't break (often), being incredibly stingy with rushing yards... Just seems like I've done the whole arguing about "the Bears got a gift win" before. At some point, can we say that talent helps cause penalties, and forcing long drives helps create chances for turnovers? I'm not convinced we're the best team in the league, but we're clearly damn good and should be in the conversation.
  7. They were showing the Bears warming up, and showed Garza practicing snapping the football. Wtf.
  8. Weird game to choose to send a message.
  9. Tommie Harris is inactive for tonight. Coaches Decision. Aromashodu is also inactive.
  10. Talk to me in 10 weeks. pretty harsh suspension from the board for being a lions fan. HA!
  11. Talk to me in 10 weeks.
  12. What's the over/under? 46 I'll take the over then.
  13. What's the over/under?
  14. The Bills released Trent Edwards.
  15. Mike Singletary this morning on OC Jimmy Raye: Moments ago:
  16. Are you boycotting it or something? It's not posted yet for some reason...or is my browser just jacked up? EDIT: Oh...they had it linked on the SI front page, but not on the NFL page for some reason. Oops.
  17. As much as I disagree with Peter King on everything ever...I'm going through a little MMQB withdrawal this morning.
  18. Here's what I know about the Titans. Keith Hernandez, Walt Frazier, and Emmitt Smith need to have talk with Jeff Fisher. His beard is not weird.

  20. So...Nevada makes the rankings. If they can hold onto it, that means Boise State gets to play a 3rd ranked opponent.
  21. Knowshon Moreno was ruled out of Sunday's game rather suddenly.... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/24/knowshon-moreno-surprisingly-ruled-out-against-colts/
  22. Moreno was just ruled out for Sunday's game. Adjust accordingly. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/24/knowshon-moreno-surprisingly-ruled-out-against-colts/
  23. He goes on to make some decent observations that could mean Cutler will still be turnover prone despite a strong start. But his entire premise is flawed as the first comparison, which apparently indicates that if Cutler turns into Brett Favre that would be a bad thing. Maybe Favre's risky behavior doomed his recent teams in the end, and maybe it prevented him from winning more than 1 Super Bowl. But the guy still put up HOF numbers and kept his team in contention nearly every year. That's not a bad thing at all. Additionally, his entire premise is based on him watching game tape and deciding whether or not a QB made a bad decision. That's a flawed way to create a stat. Sometimes you can tell if it's a bad decision, sometimes you can't. Sometimes bad decisions don't actually result in bad things happening. I fully expect Cutler's INT ratio to increase as the season goes on. He's not finishing with 8 unless he gets injured early. But that doesn't mean it's doom and gloom. I don't have insider, but does he mention Mike Martz's system as a factor at all? Surely the system you play under can have an effect on decision making. From what I understand, there's much less decision making to be made under the Martz system.
  24. True, but then so were the Cowboys last week. :-)
  25. Duh, the Packers are the greatest team that ever lived or ever will live. I'm surprised at how many picked Dallas to beat the Texans too...lol.
