    Fisher sure does like to bench that guy.

    Man...I read this last night, and can't get it out of my head. I know that Haynesworth is a headcase, but I really like this idea.
  3. Banedon
    They made so many adjustments....it really threw me off. I will say that I was annoyed that we didn't get to Romo more often, but that's picking nits. The Bears are 2-0 this season when I'm wearing my Cutler jersey.
  4. Banedon
    DJ Moore is apparently our new Nathan Vasher. Cutler is playing an incredible football game. Our O-Line is a POS.

    They scored those points because of turnovers...not because of any offensive efficiency. They went 36 yards after an interception, and 45 yards after a fumble. Hill had two drives longer than either of those. It was pretty obvious the Lions toned down the offense when Hill was in there. You really have to take the second half defensive performance with a grain of salt unless Peppers plans on killing a QB every week. Still held the Lions to 100yds in the first half.

    Especially when you consider the Chargers are the only NFL team for the 20 million people who live within 150 miles of the Q. I'm sure the NFL is racing to get that LA team in there any day now.
  7. Banedon
    Yes, and the yards discrepency is very misleading for this game. Detroit moved the ball when they weren't licking their wounds. So maybe they'd have had 250yds instead of 150yds. That doesn't do anything to mitigate the 450+yds the Bears had. I guess if you wanna say the Bears would've only doubled their yardage instead of tripled it, I'd concede the point.

    So we can't take turnovers into account when we compare yardage differential, but we can take injuries into account. Anyway, I'm done talking about that game. Ultimately it doesn't matter. That game is over and Stafford isn't gonna be back anytime soon to show us what an awesome QB he is. If we have as many turnovers this week as we did last week, we'll lose. You can take them into account, but it really doesn't matter how the team got the ball, they got it, drove and scored. Chicago started at the Detroit 1 and the Detroit 41 and got zero points out of it. But jersey, this whole discussion was about the "yards discrepency"....not points.

Hill had two drives longer than either of those. The drive charts has the two TD drives as 42 and 60 yards. The final drive for Detroit went 58 yards. The next longest drive of the game for them went 11 yards. I misread one of the Bears 2nd half drives as a Lions one. For some reason the play-by-play shows those TD drive totals as shorter...

    Unless the price is a contributor the poor atmosphere. The college atmosphere is good because students can get into the games for next to nothing up front. I don't know if a lower NFL ticket price would get the more enthusastic, entertaining fans to attend games more often, but I don't think it's something that can be dismissed. EDIT: I see some of Jon's point with some of those issues though.

    Done?
  14. Banedon
    Please explain.
  15. Banedon
    Um...ok...that's some interesting justification. How did Stafford's injury contribute to the Bears putting 463 total yards on the Lions? You realize that Hill threw for more yards, and made more passes than Stafford did right? The Lions passed one fewer time in the game than the Bears did. Anyway, this is the Bears thread. Not the Lions thread. If you want to discuss that game, go post in the week 1 thread...not here.

    I just find it fun to check the picks each week...that's all. I'm not all worked up over it. Though I admit that I'm amused by the 3 guys on CBSSports that picked the Cowboys on a 9 point spread...wow.... http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/features/writers/expert/picks/week2

    Moms have been pulling kids out for years. When I was a kid there were several good athletes that weren't allowed to play due to injury concerns from mommy. I never got to play pee-wee football for that reason. Played baseball, soccer, basketball...but football was out.

    So wait, are you saying Football and the NFL aren't the most popular sport and league in the country? I'm saying it's not obvious. What sport do you think is close in popularity to the NFL? Baseball. NFL gets great ratings/attendance for 35 days a year So length of season and frequency of games played is directly related to popularity?
  19. Banedon
    I see...I haven't heard the podcasts.

    He lambasted the Bears, calling them one of the worst teams in the league, terrible, horrible, blahblahblah, and then one week later says they are undervalued and his "hmmmmmmm team" from week 1. Yeah...I think that's more of admission that he was wrong (or at least potentially wrong) last week though. He doesn't outright say that...but that's how I read it.
  22. Banedon
    He's the king of the retroactive "saw that one coming" comment about everything in sports and gambling. I didn't really get that from that blurb. (Though I agree with you generally...he does do that a lot.) Where do you think he's doing a "saw that one coming" comment? Talking about the Bears being undervalued and the Cowboys being overvalued?
  23. Banedon
    Peter King has the Cowboys by 10. Everybody at ESPN has picked the Cowboys and their Accuscore computer sim has the Bears losing 72% of the time.

    Oddly enough, some discussion of this occurred in the Bears thread.... ;)
