    Not really. They got gashed repeatedly on the stupid draw plays and did give up 100 yards to Gore. They stopped the pass, because Alex Smith is not a good QB.

    I can't believe what a free ride he's had for several years now. I really hate Kreutz. Even when he was at his best he was routinely sabotaging drives with horrible personal foul penalties.

    I don't have a problem with the repetitive lines. I don't really care what he says. I do have a problem with the same issues coming up over and over and going on three straight years of no playoffs, and four of his six seasons with the Bears ending after week 16.

    I hope not. They need a better offensive player at 2nd than Theriot, and by the time that happens Theriot will be making significant arbitration money, and his only value is really in how cheap he is. Theriot is entering his 30's and this should really be his last season with the team, unless it's strictly a platoon situation where he's only facing lefties. You have to expect, accept and plan for a lack of production from Casto whenever it is that he begins his career with the Cubs. To do that you have to patch up holes elsewhere so you aren't getting bottom of the barrel production at multiple positions.

    Can any conference question the credibility of other schools if they already have the AZ schools around? Is Boise St. even considered a lesser instittution than those?

    Lovie did not build the Bears from scratch. By the time he was brought on in 2004, Urlacher, Brown, Brown, Briggs and Tillman were all on the team. The only core piece brought in under Lovie was Tommie Harris, and he's a basket case who cannot be trusted. You can give him credit for putting it together, but the Bears had the makings of a dominant defense before Lovie was brought in.

    Maybe a 3rd, probably a 4th, and that would be difficult. He's got a roster bonus due to him early in the offseason that he may never see.

    When Olin Kreutz is your line's leader, that crap is expected.
  9. jersey cubs fan
    such a poorly coached team
  10. jersey cubs fan
    it was horrible play calling in the red zone. Two boring runs with a bad rb behind and bad line, then a play action without any recievers. Unbelievable. Cutler forced it because he probably had to.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    how do you justify not having Greg Olsen on the field in goal line? Ron Turner, you are incompetent.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    you made your facebook status a question that was asked on PTI?
  13. jersey cubs fan
    That is essentially my complaint about Lance. He wanted to be the guy, he's being paid to be an impact guy, and although he hasn't been horrible, he hasn't made a positive impact either.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    I would be more than happy to trade Marmol. And I'd deal Castro without hesitation, but it would have to be in a deal for a much better player than a platoon CF. The only thing worse than Phil Rogers articles is hearing his mushmouth speak.

    San Fran is favored by 3. Cousin Sal guessed it exactly, the sports guy guessed 3.5, and his response was "I don't agree with that line". My god this man is an idiot. I hate that he's considered the quintessential "new media" guy. Vegas picks a line a half a point off from your guess and you whine about it? Shut up you moron. I also hate the Bears.

    http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth/post/_/id/5893/tracing-the-bears-defensive-decline Lovie is a huge disappointment as a DC. With his rep around the league, it's pretty amazing how bad he's been calling that D. He doesn't really have a long history of calling defensive plays, correct? He was a LB coach in Tampa, and went to STL where his defense enjoyed a 1 year resurgance and then returned to mediocrity. That's 3 years of calling defenses, and the last time was 6 seasons ago. That's somewhat out of the loop in my opinion. Lovie was given the benefit of the doubt after the SB when he fired Rivera, the Babich failure forced him to use up his free pass, and now that he's calling things there are no more excuses. I wonder if those morons in the media are still standing on the winningest NFC coach since 2005 not counting Coughlin BS?

    I expect them to trade picks for more quantity. It still pisses me off how much this team's struggles trace back to the disastrous post-SB draft and increase of Lovie's personel power. I think the 2007 draft really screwed this team. Nobody from 2008 has lived up to the hope yet, and the only positives from 2009 have been late round value picks, the top half have done nothing.

    The reports that I've read say the Rangers want Bradley only if the Cubs pay a big portion of his contract. I know the Rangers have money issues and I understand trying to make the best deal possible, but I don't understand all of this poor-mouthing. Their payroll for 2010 is $39 million (a drop of $37 million) without including Millwood as part of a deal. Including Millwood would put their payroll at $27 million (a decrease of $49 million from 2009). Today's Tribune wonders if they would send a couple of middle-level prospects for Bradley if the Cubs pay $9 - $10 million of the $21 million owed. Isn't their owner in dire financial straits? So they are paying their entire team what the Cubs are paying Soriano, Lee and Zambrano combined and they are in financial trouble? Wow Actually, I believe that figure only takes into account what they are paying about 3-4 guys in 2010. They still have to field a 25 man roster. And their owner has fefaulted on some debt, I believe.

    based on what? the reds offense has been crap the last 2 seasons, and that's with a ballpark helping them The Reds have a lot of young talent, I'm afraid of them over the next couple years. That's been the general sentiment for a couple years now, no?

    Tackle totals don't mean much to me. If you tackle a guy 6 yards down the field, you aren't accomplishing much. Briggs is paid to be a playmaker. Fair enough, but if they're running away from Briggs because they know that Urlacher and Tinoisamoa aren't there, Briggs can't reasonably make plays on the other side of the field with regularity. I haven't broken down film, so maybe Briggs is slacking off...I can't say with certainty. But I can't imagine that some of the weak supporting cast isn't hurting his ability to play like he can play. I'm not saying he's slacking off. I doubt that's the case, but he wanted to be the man somewhere, come out from Urlacher's shadow and all that. And now that Urlacher is down, he hasn't shown himself to be much of a playmaker or a force on defense. He's still the best linebacker on the team, but he's nobody the opposition should fear ruining their game plan.

    As I already stated, Hendry could be entirely diplomatic in an apology and make statements only about his own judgment and job, and it will still be interpreted by many players as an insult or attack on the player in question. People will read between the lines and read further than the intent. It's simply bad business. It's bad business to cut unproductive players because it might hurt their feelings? That's dumb. Teams do it all the time. You don't hold onto a guy because you are afraid of insulting him.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    That's what he made last year. After a 200+ inning season with 13 wins and a sub 4 era, he's going to make a lot more in 2010. Teams with financial problems trade these types of guys all the time, as they enter into the latter years of arbitration, their expected salaries skyrocket.
