    I didn't see anything wrong with the game plan vs. the Steelers. :confused: Sure, there were times when I wish they would've been less conservative, like the 3rd and long draw and the final FG drive, but they attacked that blitz brilliantly, IMO. 1) They got lucky against the Steelers. They lose that game if Reed doesn't miss a couple kicks. 2) Maybe I'm not giving coaching enough credit here, but it seemed less like game planning and more like Knox and Cutler making some really good plays that accounted for the offense. It just seemed like much of what worked were broken plays that were improvised. I'll give Turner credit for the play with Olsen going vertical down the middle of the field...that was well designed. I just don't have a lot of confidence in him.

    I think Cedric Benson is doing a great job showing that the Bears running game fails for more reasons than the RB. Whether it be coaching, the O-line, or both... If there's a conclusion I've drawn about the Bears in the first two games this season, it's that Ron Turner is not a good NFL OC. He doesn't seem to know how to draw up plays that take advantage of his best players.

    I was going to post something like this almost verbatim.

    It's saying the video is no longer available. I just watched it off the link Huh...well it's still not for me. Maybe it's blocked here at work for me then.

    I'm interested to see if playing 4-3 defenses will change how Olsen and the whole offense play. I'm trying to withhold judgement.

    Like I said earlier, mine is working, but I'm accessing the site directly from a bookmark.... www.northsidebaseball.com/forum

    A lot of bad run defenses? When both teams get 200+ rushing, one team has to lose.... That could be bs...I haven't looked at the numbers.

    UMFan, I just read the week 2 thread...since I was in STL for the Cubs-Cards game on Sunday night so I didn't get to follow the thread live. Your posts are just entertaining as hell. Highest of highs, lowest of lows. Heh. Making Lovie Smith's postgame press conference about a tough loss at the end of the 3rd quarter, and then saying your pessimism is getting better at some point in the 4th. Just great, great work, my friend. :thumbsup:

    "We were the best team in the NFL this year" Haha, I promise this was most Cub fans last year when the Dodgers swept the Cubs last year. :D I'm glad this got a comment. :)

    Enjoy Cowboys fans.

    I'd start Cooley. I avoid anyone playing Tennessee/Pittsburgh/Baltimore like the plague. Baltimore didn't exactly shut down KC.

    In the CBS sports pick'em league I'm in they list how the country is voting and that game is 88-12 in favor of Pittsburgh right now. Not exactly a trendy upset. Yeah sorry. It's the same in a couple of my pickems too. I meant it was a trendy media upset pick. And it's based on a sample size of three, so it's a very researched opinion....:P

    Heh. Temporarily split the posts into the mod forum before merging it with the new thread. You probably tried to view the posts while they were in the mod forum.

    Jacksonville is the 13th largest city by population in the country. 40th if you go by "metro area population". Which makes it higher than both New Orleans and Buffalo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_United_States_Metropolitan_Statistical_Areas

    At Hester's peak, it might have been a good idea to try some onside kicks instead of kicking out of bounds.

    I moved the "punt article" discussion to the NFL thread...I thought it deserved more than just a Bears fan audience.
  18. Banedon
    That's a really cool article. Something like that would extremely radical for the NFL though....akin to adding the pass to the game I think. It would change just about every conventional strategy.

    Bears are a trendy upset pick this week. Mike Greenberg, Peter King, and Mike Florio have all picked the Bears to win. Well, and yours truly. Bears 20, Steelers 17

    Urlacher suing memorabilia company that is trying to stiff him on the remainder of his contract with them. Basically they think he's done. http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Biggs-Memorabilia-company-thinks-Urlacher-is-done.html
  21. Banedon
    Yeah...that's him. Got him off waivers from the Browns.

    ZachZaidman: Bears waive/injured Trumaine McBride. They claim CB DeAngelo Smith off waivers from Cleveland BradBiggs: Bears are seeking an injury settlement with Trumaine McBride, who is expected to be sidelined for four to six weeks.

    Between the Marlins and now the Jags, Florida needs to just have all their sports teams taken away from them.
