i think there is no doubt this next month is gonna be rough. we're due to come to earth a little bit, and without noah and on the road vs. some very tough teams we'll probably see the pretty record drop somewhat. good thing the end of the season is cupcakes all over again though.
-
as much as it would be a luxury it would be pretty swell to have Corey Liugett come to this team, obviously if all things fair I'd go offense with every pick in the draft but pairing a good pass rushing DT with Peppers would mean we could still put replacement level players in the secondary and be fine. Still need two starter quality players on the O-line.

I haven't looked at the advanced stats or anything, and I don't watch all that much basketball outside of the Bulls, but I have a tough time believing Rose isn't the MVP. Or to use that stupid qualifier for the MVP, "the most valuable to his team." I say this without as much homerism as I can, I think if they voted today, he would win. (Whether or not he deserves it remains to be seen)

I know I've said it before and I know no good can come from me saying it, but I really don't like or get people that split their fandom across different cities like that, especially when its something like a Cubs/Packers fan. Its just gross. I know everyone that ends up this way has some great (boring) story about it (oh my dad was from Milwaukee and blah-de-blah-blah) but it still irks me in the worst way. Still better than one of my best friends whos a Sox-Packers fan.

some interesting things just looking at the standings: Bulls are 9-0 in their division, and honestly, if they play hard in every single one of their future division games, they probably should go undefeated in their division. Has that ever happened? The Timberwolves are winless in their division, oof. At least they got Kevin Love racking up more meaningless stats for them. Good for him. The Wizards are winless on the road. 0-20. Holy crap.

Did we convert a 3rd down all game?
-
Here's hoping the Redskins offer a third rounder for him. It would be the least they could do after unleashing Todd Collins on us
-
Caleb Hanie also probably bought himself a couple more years in the league today, as well.
-
I remain convinced that the coaching staff purposefully benched him
-
I didn't hear anything about a concussion, just a knee and elbow injury (there was blood coming through his undershirt, whatever)
-
We're all missing the point here What we should be talking about is how incredible it is that Todd Collins got paid 1 million dollars to be by far the worst quarterback I've ever seen play football. This includes Henry Burris, Chad Hutchinson and Jonathon Quinn
-
That mustache was hilariously awful
-
Well its a good thing we got the Cubs to look forward to, right guys? Guy?
-
I hope that neither Lovie nor anyone else gets an extension, stays on for another year, we draft some offensive line/buy someone in free agency, get a big receiver, and do nothing for the defense because we have neither the time nor the money or picks to help it, and see what happens next year.
-
I don't want to come off as a whiner of the officiating, because I universally hate fans that complain about officiating in losing games, but there was some damn big momentum shifting calls and they pretty [expletive] bad I think I'm most upset about the phantom holding on (Chester Taylor?) when we were getting a drive going There should be no excuse for not mounting any offense before and after that of course
-
They didn't really blitz Hanie, when they did, he threw two picks
-
About the playcall: Say we convert on 3rd and 4th down. Say we even manage somehow to score another TD, are we still winning in overtime (Now that just a field goal doesn't suffice)? Game was still technically in doubt but the game was lost long beforehand. Yeah, because that Packer offense was just moving up and down the field... Well, my bet is they wake up and start moving the ball better than we do in overtime and we're not playing a mostly prevent non-blitzing defense

If you told me yesterday that Rodgers would have a 50ish QB Rating and we lost I... well it still would have made sense to me actually.

I also liked the guy tripping Olsen up leading to a "intentional ground" Sports to me have turned into whatever the media really wants, the better story wins out unless the other team is just so good the officials can't sway the game. I'm not paranoid enough to feel this way, but the front office and coaching staff have to learn to build teams based on how the game is officiated nowadays. I'm embarrassed that the quick hitting slants and such was only busted out as the game was out of reach. We should have been doing that all day long, like the Packers were doing (When Rodgers was completing passes) The league doesn't want you playing defense. So build some good offenses.
-
Maynard was fine all year, but he did not have it today. He was bad against Carolina in 2006 too. Actually he had no leg all year. He was decent at pinning people back but he has no distance on punts anymore, and hasn't for several years.

The coaching was clearly not there, obviously. But we were also clearly the less talented team out there as well, and we've been overperforming our talent level all season. I understand the desire for some more outlandish offensive playcalling but it just wasn't the right kind of outlandish playcalling.
-
Well this game was weird as hell. Played about as poorly as we could and to keep it this close. Defense played its heart out. Hanie gave us a weird spark at the end. Ugh. Cannot wait to hear the endless sports callers calling for Hanie as the starter.
-
That punter is probably player of the game, he's had us pinned all game Not that we'd do the ball if you gave it to us on the Packer 35 every drive anyway
