    I see no value in just letting the season play out as is if you don't need to. If you can get him, I think you have to take the chance that you can make it work. I would prefer drama and a blowup to end the season than just finishing 7-9 again with no clear-cut vision of the future.

    He'd be playing the team he started the season with twice.

    Didn't realize he could block DTs. As I said last week, if you are going to go with a system that goes cheap on the offensive line, you at least need to invest in WR. A new WR is going to help more than a new OL in the very short term.

    I like this. Listach and Quade know the players in the Cubs system better than anyone. If Ricketts is going toward a "build from within mode" as he appears to be, he's got no better people then those two. Has Listach coached anybody in the Cubs sytem? He knows Soto, but who else?

    I hate that there are incompetent organizations that somehow make the Bears look less incompetent.

    I for one love having several games on at once, especially with slightly staggered starting times to avoid pregame shows, halftimes and other nonsense.

    I still have my doubts about the Patriots. They do get to play Cleveland, Detroit and Buffalo (not to mention the Bears) but they play some tough teams the rest of the way and have been lucky to escape with a couple of their wins. I was not impressed with their play yesterday, at home outdoors in the late afternoon cold and wind against a Favre led Vikings team. I could see them losing to Green Bay at home, and if they lose 2 of 3 against Steelers, Colts and Jets then NY will have a good chance to win the division.

    Testing waters for potential play-in championship game?

    I thought that Dallas win was pretty impressive. Everything broke against them early and yet they were still in control by halftime and it was in Dallas on their last gasp to save their season. They have won by double digits three times this season which is usually something only the good teams do often. They are a little sloppy, but that has happened before and Coughlin typically gets that fixed. 6 points is their smallest margin of victory this year.

    I wouldn't consider Philly's schedule that much harder than the Giants remaining. The Eagles have to host the Colts, Texans, and Vikings and go on the road to Chicago. The Giants have to play at Green Bay, at Minnesota, and at Seattle while hosting Jacksonville. The Giants have an extra game with Washington and the Eagles have an extra game at Dallas. Those schedules are pretty much a tossup when you consider how good Seattle can be at home and how poor the Texans have been in the past on the road (although they have pulled out 2 close wins this year). It will probably come down to the two Giants-Eagles games. If the Eagles sweep, they have the advantage. A split and the Giants have a decent advantage in that division. Yeah, that's my point. Philly doesn't have a favorable schedule to makeup the deficit and they aren't that good. NYG has been playing really well since 2 early season losses to AFC opponents, one of which Philly still plays. Philly has already lost in the division.

    That is interesting. I really really hope it is not a case of a desperate team pushing a player back too soon to make up for all the other injuries. If he is really good to go then it would really help.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    The Giants are sitting pretty right now. Philly doesn't have a cakewalk remaining on their schedule and they have been pretty inconsistent. Washington is it's same mediocre self and Dallas is a mess.

    5-3 heading into the bye isn't bad considering only 2 teams will have more wins after tonight.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    I got pulled over going 70 in a 65 on I-80 around 3 in the morning going back to Chicago from Colorado. It was out of state plates and I think they just saw an easy option to get paid. It was the three in the morning that made them suspicious. Have a horse trailor or an RV at three in the moring and you are definetly picked up on I-40 There was nothing suspicious about driving at 3am on I-80.

    Dave Bolland may not be there but I'm going to the Garden tonight to watch some hockey. The Rangers are pretty mediocre and I'd really like to see a win.

    @Det would be the only other place I could even conceive of them being favored...and that would depend a whole lot on the Bears winning some games between now and then. They will be coming off Vikings, Dolphins, Eagles, potential 3 (or even 4) game losing streak. I don't see them winning in Miami on short rest. So it's going to take either a decisive win against one of those three or a win against Philly to give people a reason to back the Bears. Just to nitpick, it's impossible that they'll be on a 4 game losing streak. If they lose their 4 games between now and the Lions, that will be a 6 game losing streak, since they already have lost their last 2. They tied the bye this week!!! I think the one thing in their favor with the Bills is they are coming off back to back disappointing losses, not just the one. After they barely lost in Baltimore I thought for a second the Bears were in trouble next week until I remembered the bye. I think the back to back max effort losses can be trouble for them. They are due for another big loss. But they will move the ball in the air against Chicago.

    I have a strange, unjustified affinity for Gary Varsho. Me too. I have no idea why.

    This should be the last time the Bears are favored this season. And I don't really think they should be favored this week, at least not by 3.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Very easily

    I just think they don't really have a problem with his mindset. They've never fully embraced the concept, have always had a soft spot for aggressive toolsy guys and have a lot riding on him. The way they have promoted him, as soon as he enjoys some success, suggests to me they are looking for any excuse to promote him rather than having some real strategy of forcing him to struggle.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    I'm sure he wants to I doubt he thinks he can or will insist he must.

    There was talk of him being a potential team president for the Cubs, and that is what I would have liked to see, based largely on what he did in paving the way for Oakland to be great for a decade under his successor.
