    That would have been awesome for ND last year since Rees can't overthrow a WR standing more than 5 yards passed the LOS. it wasn't. it was as if he is a Div 1 QB playing with Jr Varsity wr's and the game ended up in 3OT. It never should have been that close. if only he would have blocked a [expletive] FG.
  2. minnesotacubsfan
    did he block an extra point last week? if so, link to video please. no, but man that would have been great.

    That would be a really strange argument to try and make. They were elite and they took a significant step back from elite. They missed beats. Why would anybody try to pretend otherwise? Maybe I'm misinterpretting your argument, but it sounded to me like you were arguing that they were elite five or six year ago, then went to average. I disagree if that is what you're arguing and I think the weighted defensive efficiency shows that. This may be a semantics argument, but I felt the tone of your post was basically indicating that they were an average defensive team. In fact, you states that. You also said they were not close to elite, and I disagree with that too. Yes, they went from elite to average in a hurry. They "missed beats" as others suggested they never did. They got better since, but they haven't gotten as good as they were when they were the best defense in football and actually a threat to score, let alone prevent the opposition from scoring. Except last year, when they were the best defense in football. there is a FINE LINE between being the 2nd best and THE best and its relationship to the term "elite". Just ask jersey. Being #1 apparently doesn't count

    McKinnie I believe I never spell it correctly
  5. minnesotacubsfan
    I totally forgot this about McKinney http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryant_McKinnie

    he has 2 kids and missed at least 3 TD's against UNLV by overthrowing wide open WR's by a lot.

    I want to talk about the Golden Gophers and their 6'4" 245 lb QB named MarQueis and why he keeps overthrowing his wr's, but I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the Aggies and therefor doesn't matter. I feel sad.

    gee whiz jersey, with articulate logic such as yours, I wonder if you could tell me the difference between gray and grayish. dont leave anything out, please!
  9. minnesotacubsfan
    JUST GIVE UP BRYANT
  10. minnesotacubsfan
    Texas A&M must be the Washington State of the South.
  11. minnesotacubsfan
    but enough to sign McKinney while they look for a trading partner for Williams..?
  12. minnesotacubsfan
    Tice drafted McKinney. Him coming here would make a ton of sense, but do the Bears have cap space?
  13. minnesotacubsfan
    you'll have 2, but none against us. And Suh will earn my deepest appreciation when he sits on Aaron Rodgers, breaking several ribs forcing him to the bench and ruining GB's season.
  14. minnesotacubsfan
    How can you possibly say this? They went from an elite defense to just about average in a hurry. Then they ticked a bit higher again but are still not close to elite. They very much did miss several beats. They are very susceptible to the pass and have been for a few years after once being virtually impossible to throw against since you wouldn't get much yardage or would turn it over anyway. I'd make the argument that Tommie Harris and Mile brown were the biggest differences, but overall since 2007, the defense hasn't fallen as much as you seem to think. See David's post above
  15. minnesotacubsfan
    also, I don't worry about Brian Urlacher.
  16. minnesotacubsfan
    Dear diary, Brett struck out 3 times in 4 PAs today. No one will probably want to talk to me now. At least when he hits, they taunt. The pain is the only thing that's real. HEY LOOK EVERYBODY KYLE LIKES NIN
  17. minnesotacubsfan
    at one time since the 2005 season we had Peanut, Good Vasher, and M Brown. that was easily the best defensive secondary the Bears have had since the days of Doug [expletive] Plank. we've been messing with DB's since, and the defense has yet to really miss a beat. I think we'll be fine.
  18. minnesotacubsfan
    AGREED
  19. minnesotacubsfan
    Yep, there has been forever. I think the guy said they'd keep doing it until Pullman gets a Gameday. ETA: http://deadspin.com/5673853/inside-the-nations-dorkiest-fanbase-how-the-washington-state-cougars-flag-gets-on-gameday-each-week I hate Wazzou fans, they're obnoxious especially considering how awful their team historically has been
  20. minnesotacubsfan
    After they let go of Brown. Makes sense ......
  21. minnesotacubsfan
    even then it would suck.
  22. minnesotacubsfan
    agreed. sounds horrible. however, Luck being planted by Peppers sounds wonderful BEAR DOWN
  23. minnesotacubsfan
    Well, specifically I meant the Rodgers as OPOTY and Manning as MVP. Pete's gotta have it both ways
  24. minnesotacubsfan
    That just sounds like Peter King Feel Good BS
  25. minnesotacubsfan
    you both are forgetting that this is Pete Carroll god knows what he will do
