  1. I totally get that you're frustrated, and I agree it was a stupid thing for him to do....but the guy has what...4 forced fumbles already this year? Tillman makes some very visible mistakes sometimes, but he's one of the most valuable guys on this defense. Tillman was about one of 5 or 6 mistakes that could've iced this: Desmond Clark dropped a pass on what...the one yard line that should've been easy. Rashied Davis let that pass go right through his hands. If you want to start cutting people, he's a good place to start. Robbie Gould missing a 49 yarder early in the 4th. Can't just make the easy ones Robbie. Gotta make a few tough kicks on occasion. Total defensive collapse in the last 4th and OT. The whole team was winded. Makes me wonder about Lovie's camps. The hurry up offense destroyed them. Where is Brian Urlacher? He's been almost completely invisible this season with one or two exceptions. Briggs meanwhile has been everywhere. The O-line was bad at protection today. Orton had to scramble quite a bit. Seems like we can make holes for Forte (somewhat), but can't keep the line off the QB. Zero sacks is completely unacceptable.
  2. Inning over. And every gatorade cooler in the dugout cowers in fear.
  3. Cards fans have been ripping on Kennedy mercilessly...and Kennedy has demanded a trade...funny that he hit a GS...
  4. This pretty much sums up my feeling exactly, about Eddie, PJ, and the song. In fact this song has made me appreciate Eddie's talent a whole lot more.
  5. I forgot this game was an afternoon game, so I just saw the box score, and have 2 questions: 1) Why did Harden throw 115 pitches? 2) How did he manage to throw 115 and only have 1 run and 1 hit allowed? EDIT: ok, number 2 answered....6 bb's....:(
  6. http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/huddleup/2008/09/hester-has-torn.htm Also,
  7. Looks like he'll be part of the "team of expert analysts"...so probably studio work.
  8. http://hirejimessian.com/wp-content/media/SomedayWellGoAlltheWay.mp3 Can't listen to it at work, but my brother emailed me the link and was raving about it.
  9. Jeremi Gonzalez also made that list. Actually, it's dated 98, not 08...I was initially quite confused...heh. :grin:
  10. it looked weird in color with the different sources. the creepy sky was due to the fact that it was the only photo of the skyline I could find from that vantage point It kinda looks like Gozer was about to arrive at the top of the Sears tower, and the Stay Puft Marshmallow man is about to terrorize us all..... :)
  11. Wait, what? I must've missed something... when did this come out? viewtopic.php?p=1959649#p1959649 From there on down...Just rumor though. Heh...sorry to scare you Mizzou.
  12. Why would they show budget plans to five bidders if Ricketts group already has it in the bag? I'm so confused....
  13. Thank God, McGowan is probably my least favorite Bear. He has been garbage since he has gotten here. Remember that Steve Smith playoff game? Well, that was Brandon McGowan chasing him around on a few of those long plays. That was his rookie season and he's sucked since. Makes a ton of penalties on special teams and generally sucks as a DB. To think they traded Chris Harris because they were confident in Adam Archuleta and Brandon McGowan is ridiculous. Terrible decisions by Lovie and Jerry. McGowan was very good on ST though.
  14. They traditionally have that day off in case of rainouts. In this situation we will be playing in a dome. The Colorado series is our home opener, hence the day off in case of rainout. Gotcha. That makes sense. Would've been funny if they'd scheduled the opening series with the Astros at Miller Park for fun.... :cool:
  15. Tavaris Jackson, grab some bench. Gus Frerotte, your week 3 starter for the Vikes. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3593304
  16. Strange. We almost always play that first game and then have a day off before finishing the series. That doesn't happen this year, but we get a day off on April 14th in the middle of a 2 game Colorado series? Very odd.
  17. But it didn't say "Trib and Mariotti in talks". It was posted on Friday saying he'd start on Monday. That's clearly false.
  18. CBS still has their elimination number as 1.
  19. Off topic, but it's funny how the people that have this said about them are almost universally morons. I guess morons are fun to drink with, huh?
  20. I bet...rofll............ :-)) mmmmkay
  21. I'm gonna be a rebel and post a whole article since it's so short... http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi090916-devin-hester-chicago-bears,0,3722127.story
  22. I didn't understand either move, but had put my faith in Lovie to know what was what with those guys. Same here...but I can't say I was vehemently opposed to either one. Neither one was something I was passionately for or against.
  23. Seconded that's one of the big things Grossman has on Orton, Orton' not merely bad on the deep ball he's flat out terrible. As a side note Chris Harris has a really big mouth, it would great if the Bears got another opportunity vs Panthers this season. As much as I'd like to rail on CH for his comments, the fact is he should still be playing for the Bears. He knows it, half the Bears roster knows it, and I'll bet Lovie in his heart of hearts knows it. I still don't mind the Chris Harris cut. He had proven to be a mediocre safety. Bears had Manning (though he was moving to CB), Mike Brown, Archuleta, McGowan and Payne. Whether you thought it was highly like that Brown would get hurt (as did Payne) and Archuleta would suck is really beside the point. I'm not sure how the Archuleta trade made any sense whatsoever. He had proven himself to be poor in Washington. There was no reason to bring him in here and cut Harris. A mediocre safety beside Brown would have been a great improvement. Payne might be better now, but that shouldn't have prevented the Bears from keeping Harris at the time. The Archuleta move was simply nonsensical. Well yeah, in retropsect it's easy to make that call. But how upset were you at the time the moves were made? Were you really anti-Archuleta and pro-Harris?
  24. I'm guessing that this thread is borne of my comments in another thread a couple days ago...heh...so I should probably post. New Stadium/Rebuilt Wrigley - 31
  25. Safe to call this one bunk I think. I'm updating the subject.
