My god. Impressive way to lose a game multiple times lol
-
Defense has given up 23 points (3 of them on a 5-yard field). I'm thinking of the year to this point Obviously 10 points wont win you anything in this NFL anyway. Its a messy game for the team all around EDIT: What happened? My feed died
-
i still really like what Trestman is doing. Too bad about this game, and its too bad the defense is kinda...in shambles. And the special teams has decided to become really awful. It'll be an up and down year all year i think. Blergh, oh well. its a good foundation.
-
well thats game
-
sigh. my heart can't take seeing this miraculous, well called and executed drive not end in points
-
god damn i love these special teams penalites. i got damn love em
-
The Saints pretty much get 6-7 yards guaranteed every first down. So...thats hard to really stop
-
this game is making me sick. for some reason its way more painful than the Lions game, maybe because theres *some* life in the Bears, but they refuse to do anything with the chances oh and this is the first game where the Oline has look just *bad* the entire time, just awful

Week 3 Bears (2-0) @ Steelers (0-2) 7:30 CST Sun NBC/780
BigSlick replied to UMFan83's topic in Other Sports
I don't know, without the turnovers it's just horrible wide-open receiver after horrible wide-open receiver. They'll need to blitz. No question. But Tucker has got to have the right strategy with it. If he over-uses it, it could get really ugly. People are gonna get their yards now, this is the NFL. Brian Hoyer gets 300+ yards and its no big deal. You gotta get home on those blitzes, and the offense has to score and be consistent. There were what, at least 3 times they had Roethlisberger dead to rights and couldn't bring him down? It was frustrating. -

This game had a decidedly Lovie Smith flavor to it. Started off all great, the offense was moving, but then it completely dried up and it seemed like Cutler himself lost some confidence. The playcalling got really conservative and a few missed opportunities (that Brandon Marshall drop was KILLER), but glad they could pull it all together at the end. Interesting that they defense started off blitzing and pretty much never took their foot off the throttle. They are aware they can't generate what they need from the front line itself, and it really mostly worked. Sure the Steelers got their yardage, but they turned the ball over because of those blitzes and Roethlisberger, while making some big time throws, also missed some really easy ones. Overall, given the situation they have, they pretty much have no choice but to blitz. Hope Melton's ok too. -

oh god that 2002 team, i remember it all too well. I remember watching them bottle up Vick in the second game at a department store while looking at all the huge TVs for sale, it was glorious. Then they lost like every game after that. -
What's the record? 11, Blair Walsh and Tony Zendejas. And, well, now Robbie Gould. Also, Robbie Gould is now the most accurate Kicker in NFL history for FG 50+ yards. Who would have thunk it? What made Lovie think that Gould couldn't make these? Heck for those first few years he wouldn't even let Robbie try them. Real talk, it almost feels like Robbie's leg has gotten stronger as he's aged, his kick offs were never all that impressive when he came into the league (granted the rules put him 5 yards back) and he just overall didn't seem to have a lot of oomph to his kicks. He does now. Maybe its a confidence thing.

Agree in broad strokes with what UMF said, I'll also add I saw Briggs miss a couple tackles in particularly galling fashion. I don't remember the last time I've seen him wildly throw himself at ballcarriers and not solidly take folks down, hope its not him losing a step. Also Peppers was completely non-existent, and I know there's been rumors he's been playing semi-hurt all summer, who knows. :beg: Still, the offense, while it started off slow, really delivered when it mattered, and the weapons of Forte-Bennett-Jeffery-Marshall is pretty exciting.

Bears Offseason Thread (Trestman new HC, pg 37)
BigSlick replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
Now apparently its reported Emery was gonna trade down if Long was off the board! Whaaaaat -
Well like Boers says, it looks like he's at least LOOKING at the same roster as we are, unlike Angelo, and he's trying to nit it together through free agency so...improvement? *coughs*

Bears Offseason Thread (Trestman new HC, pg 37)
BigSlick replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
So I take it...not good? I didn't read or hear much about him and it looks like there was already a run on OLinemen (though its a deep draft), someone compared him to a project like Shea Mclellan, which is definitely NOT what we need there. Oh well at least they took an Olineman. -
Lots of mistakes so far at the beginning of this one
-
Ok. Go Patriots, please punish the Texans for being so dumb and lackadaisical in the regular season (and costing my team a playoff spot)
-
sigh we all wanted the collapse, the least you could do was go with it
-
i just dont get how they so easily gave up 20+ yard passes back to back like that is that what football is now? there has to be some way to stop that
-
noooooooooooooooooooo
-
Ugh oh my god Don't do it
-
This game is so awesome. I don't hold any ill-will towards Atlanta but I just love to see a collapse like this, especially when that's all they were expecting, disappointment from the Falcons. Its so delicious
-
It is complete. No matter how this is ruled the Seahawks are gonna have the lead at the end of this. I feel like the Falcons deserve this for so brutally taking a Bears game in the last 21 seconds in 2008
