    They are excellent at stopping the run and special teams. It's not like they are devoid of blue chip players either. It is true that they just gloss over the big scoring outputs. 27, 31, 40, 38, 35 all over the past two months and they are still considered offensive failures.

    What? I think he means that since the Cubs were stupid last year, they constantly put Hill in when they were facing a good running team. I'm not sure if it is statistically true, though. I'm sure you could probably just take a look at how many stolen base attempts were made off of him. I'm not sure there's any justification for claiming he faced more good running teams than a normal catcher. But his 28% isn't even impressive.

    Brady got traded to the Jets yesterday, didn't you hear? Roethlisberger isn't that great either. Ben is pretty damn good. His early success was more about the team, but his past 4 years have been terrific. He has similar offensive line problems as Cutler, but better weapons at his disposal. He's also had a more dominating defense on his side.

    Clearly he's not jewish.

    There is nothing unusual about an 11 win team getting a bye.
  6. jersey cubs fan
    No they have not. They've beaten 2 of the remaining top 4 teams. There is nothing unusual about an 11-5 team getting a bye. 10-6 teams have gotten them. Is everybody going to count Pittsburgh as lucky for getting to host the Jets instead of going to New England? How about for stealing a win against Miami on a crazy call which would have meant they didn't even win their division this year?

    Silva's contract had more money in total, including a $2m buyout for next year. But Seattle kicked in more than the differential. But Bradley's voidability for 2011 was gone by the time the deal went down.

    I realize you didn't exactly say that. But ESPN was running a collection of lucky breaks for the Bears this year that pretty much said the same thing as you. They talked about the 3rd string QB thing too which is just stupid. Miami didn't have a legit NFL starter on their roster, who cares who was 3rd? Every team that played them "lucked" into playing a garbage QB. Minnesota used a backup to beat the Eagles. Chicago lost their QB to concussions for 1.5 games and probably suffered from the hangover of that concussions for a couple more games. They lost a game because of a BS fumble call and horrible non challenge. They didn't luck into their record and things didn't fall into place anymore than they fall into place for everybody who moves on. Chicago beat Philly. That is the biggest reason they got the 2 seed. Chicago beat the Jets, but in the eyes of many they will be a sizeable underdog to them in a potential SB matchup because the Jets are real or something. This wasn't a 9-7 team that skated into the playoffs thanks to a better opponent resting its best players. They won the games they had to win and did as good a job as anybody in the regular season outside of New England. But New England was its own flawed self for all but about a 3-4 week period this year. Every one of these remaining teams is a good football team with flaws.

    according to cot's bradley gets $12 million this year, with the cubs paying $5.5 of that. i think there were certain conditions where 2011 would be a club option year, but i don't think those conditions were met, so 2011 became guaranteed. Yeah, the conditions were met already in 2009. It didn't take much for 2011 to become guaranteed.
  10. jersey cubs fan
    It was a 3 year contract, 2009-2011.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    Is it not a huge part of Victorino's game? I don't get your comment.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    You know, I'm really getting annoyed at this storyline. Why is it that the Bears lucked into Philly losing to Minnesota to open up the 2 seed to them? Chicago beat Minnesota twice, and they beat Philly. They didn't luck into the Vikings beating the Eagles, the Eagles lost. Green Bay lost several games this year, Chicago didn't luck into Detroit being one of those losses. Chicago didn't luck into New Orleans losing to Seattle. New Orleans is going to struggle on the road outdoors in the playoffs. It's just the way it is with a dome team that relies so heavily on its passing game. Yes, the Bears have had an opportunity presented to them, but they have actually gone out and taken advantage of the opportunity, beating several contending teams along the way. People claim Green Bay shot themselves in the foot in week 3 against a still developing Bears team. But if they did, then the Bears went out, bought the gun, put it in their hands and forced them into the decision of shooting their foot or their arm. Chicago has stumbled along the way, but so has every team. Chicago limited those stumbles and improved as a team along the way. They made their own breaks.

    From what I've noticed and from people I know who transplanted there.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    The Atlanta of the West?
  15. jersey cubs fan
    I suspect it's because Milwaukee probably has a fair number of Bears fans, but still... Seattle probably also has a much higher percentage of the population that don't give a crap about sports.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Same. But I was that way against the Saints too. I was so focused on that game that it didn't hit me till afterwards that we were going to the freaking Super Bowl. This feels so much different than the 2006 season to me. They were destined for the Super Bowl that entire season, and were clearly the most talented team in the NFC. I'll feel differently about it Sunday, but right now it just feels like an amazing opportunity to beat GB in the NFC Conference Championship game, moreso than an opportunity to get to the Super Bowl. Our group of football watchers are mainly Jets, Bears and Steelers fans though, and this weekend is going to be nuts.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    Why? More speed? Yeah. It's too big a part of his game. Are you saying it is more a part of Szcur's game or Victorino's?
  18. jersey cubs fan
    What?
  19. jersey cubs fan
    are they talking just as far as their play on the football field? if not i'd have to knock roethlisberger down to the bottom. Trustworthiness with your daughter was probably not on the list.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    Lemons drops for Steelers fans, sounds about right.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    What did the other bar do? Dare to say Bradshaw really wasn't a good QB? Steelers fans are thin skinned babies who insist on everybody bowing before their teams greatness. And 75% of them have to be front runners because that has been a dying city for decades and there was no such thing as Steelers bars in every city before they started winning super bowls again.

    Sports Guy's "the loss doesn't really bother me and the Jets are amazing" schtick was pretty ridiculous this week. Neither he nor the other guys he spoke with even acknowledged that both Chicago and Green Bay beat the Jets this year, in non-fluke style. He and the gambling guy actually put more stock in the game that GB "should have beat the Bears" in week 3 than in either team's matchup against the Jets in mid-to-late-season.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    99% of the time I'm the same way, which is the reason why I think this is a good idea. It's actually fun to be a part of the whole crowd cheering along and spotting the jets on the horizon flying toward your head.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Yes, got a last minute ticket and flight. I've been there a few times before. Detroit in 2006, unfortunately Arizona last year. Maybe one other time, can't remember. I've seen them more in Philly and NY than Chicago though.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    i usually don't but the thing gets the crowd pumped up Isn't an NFC championship game against the Packers enough? You should be able to plug the rotting corpse of Abe Vigoda in there and still be pumped. It's more fun for the crowd. The NFL is looking for more and more ways to make the gameday experience enjoyable for the crowd, since going to a game generally sucks in comparison to watching on TV. It makes a lot of sense to do stuff like this to allow fans to enjoy the day that much more.
