    He'll probably have to at least make the NFC championship for that to happen. Losing, say, consecutive games to Green Bay next week and in the first playoff round would not look good. He's probably getting an extension regardless. He won't be going into next year as a lame duck coming off 11 wins and a division title. The playoffs may determine what that extension looks like though. I see them just adding 2 more years as of now, but if they were to get to the Super Bowl perhaps a 4 year extension with a raise.

    Granted on NE, but is giving up 27 points horrible? It's certainly not great, but I think horrible is overstating it. They couldn't stop Mark Sanchez and the Jets offense. NYJ have been shut out this year and scored 3 and 6 in recent losses. Sanchez is easily a bottom half of the league QB and might be the worst one in this year's playoffs.

    Yeah, it was funny to read Peter King talk about the storm in NYC being the same thing that hit Philly, when there was such a large discrepency. The roads in northern NJ are a joke. We've got 3 foot drifts everywhere, and stalled cars left and right. An ambulance was being shovelled out as I walked to train this morning. But Philly didn't get hit nearly as hard. This had huge fantasy ramifications as well, as anybody who had Vick going was facing a night with weather to a night with nothing.

    Might as well add the Seattle game in there, and they didn't do much against Washington either.

    This freaking pass defense still scares the piss out of me. I get being susceptible to the short passing game. But there have been too many breakdowns in coverage deep to try and pretend everything is fine. I really fear what a quality NFL QB can do against them in the playoffs.
  6. jersey cubs fan
    Not nearly enough. It was terrible in northern NJ, but Philly panicked unnecessarily.

    I hope my dad doesn't see this note.

    I agree with you, with a couple caveats. There may be huge turnover in NFL coaching staffs this year. It's possible that 9 or 10 spots may open up. Everybody wants the next big thing or a proven Super Bowl winner, but there are only a couple of those. And while he is 59 and older than the trend. Every season seems to bring a franchise or two that hires some old retread that nobody thought would get a job. I don't think many people predicted Norv Turner and Chan Gailey would get another chance. Wade Phillips shouldn't have been hired four years ago by Dallas. I think if Chicago's offense does well in the playoffs, and enough spots open up, there is an outside chance that somebody looking for an offensive spark would take Martz. But I don't think that happens.

    The difference between Forte and Taylor right now is massive. Taylor is just completely unable to get anything going. I'm starting to wonder if they'll keep him, with the money they're shelling out for him. I'm assuming he's gone.

    Four straight wins is nice, but this team still needs something like an eight of ten streak to bring some seperation from the bottom of the pack (6-3-1 in last 10). They still only have a three and four point lead over teams with two and three games in hand, respectively. The next five games may be key, going up against western contenders in each one before facing a couple eastern conference dogs.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    They've done a better job protecting Cutler, they have made the running game at least competent when Forte is in, if not really a weapon. But most importantly Jay and the receivers now have almost a full season in the system. I doubt Martz is going to be highly sought after as an NFL head coach right now, unless the offense rolls through to the Super Bowl.

    It's the only game that is meaningful regardless of other games that are played earlier in the day. I know that, but given how terrible St. Louis and Seattle are, I figured NBC would find Chicago-Green Bay more enticing. I'm almost positive STL-Seattle tanks in the ratings. I bet it doesn't. January 2nd, people still recovering from New Years and everybody loves the NFL. It's the only game in town, and it is meaningful. The fact that so many people are talking about potential sub .500 teams making the playoffs only adds to intrigue. I bet it does just fine.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    The good thing is it's really hard to beat a team three times in the same season.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    What didn't Peter King like on Sunday? Seriously Peter? You're going to give Jay Cutler crap for that game yesterday, and really only refer to the fake punt?
  15. jersey cubs fan
    Seriously. Plus, why would anybody doubt the possibility of a Pena extension. They have no impact bats in their system, nobody who could even potentially fill the spot, let alone be a likely candidate. If they don't extend him they will just go out in the market and find the next Pena.

    I'll chalk that up to Australia not having a good feed of the game, but the 5 point differential hardly told the story. All of Philly is laboring under the delusion that that game was actually close. Not from what I have noticed. I know a lot of Philly fans and virtually all of them shut their pie holes and realized the Bears whooped them.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    It's become fairly hard to get value for that pick. A potential new CBA before the draft could possibly change that value immensely.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    The Pack is a 5 point favorite right, and I'm guessing that is subject to change depending on the outcome of Monday and Tuesday night football. This game could mean a hell of a lot, or absolutely nothing. Hope it's nothing because a 2 seed could be huge. I'm hoping Chicago gets to host the Saints in late January.

    This win would have been more enjoyable if the Jets fans could have gotten to my house yesterday, or shown up to work today.

    Philly pussirs getting rightfully shredded

    among sports nuts? Probably. Among sports fans? Probably not.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    The fact that they are all failed head coaches makes me think it is more possible to keep them where they are, but if it takes a Lovie extension to guarantee they are back I'm all for it.

    http://deadspin.com/5717114/fran-tarkenton-pretty-much-poops-all-over-brett-favre Fran Tarkenton seems bitter, and absolutely correct.

    Does it necessarily mean there was not? If they want to play the pity card and try and convince the public that it was to help their families, then the burden of proof for that is on them. It's used every time. And "help their families" is entirely relative. Any amount given to their parents regardless of how well off they are is helping their families. How is the burden of proof on them? They broke a rule and received punishment. But all they did was sell their own property. You can go ahead and keep acting like a lunatic who thinks this is a travesty, but that reflects more on your own problems than theirs.

    I loved him as a kid. When he left and came back though he began looking like a major douche. And his over-the-top negative statements about specific Cubs players, feeding the Kaplan beast, just shows what a petty ass he is and what little amount of baseball insight he actually has.
