    Illini gave me a scare today. Curbelo is almost unguardable. Extremely impressed by him. Illinois' perimeter defense is extremely good. It's hard for me to tell how good their in the paint D is as Edey doesn't leave much for an honest evaluation. Trevion also makes it difficult because of his post moves and ability to dish. I feel like the Illinois game plan was to not allow anything easy outside of the arc, which made it very difficult to track cuts through the key. They also did a very good job of deterring Ivey from driving the lane. I saw a lot of contested 3pt shots from the Illini. I feel like Curbelo and Cockburn both on the floor can help to space things out. They shot well, I have to think they shoot better when they can free up their sharpshooters. This is definitely the dog days right now. Every game against even a marginally talented team is a battle, let alone a top tournament seed like Illinois.

    Not that I have a very high opinion of what the Bears have done in the last 25 years, but I have a feeling these are a little bit cherry picked. That 1995 starting date is significant I'm betting.

    Hate to say it, but I've watched early jumps all year from Bears O lineman that don't get called. It appears refs are giving them some wiggle room there.

    Nice move for the D-Line but...

    I haven't watched a ton of non-Bears football this year, but watching that Chiefs/Texans game I thought three things. 1. Watson is really really good. I felt bad for him for the amount of times in that game where it seemed like he was taking on the whole KC defense by himself. 2. Mahomes is unreal and is legitimately putting together a HOF resume with each throw. I know we saw him in week 16, but he made so many amazing throws. Even before they started scoring, he was hitting his guys in the hands, they just weren't holding on. He is amazing and I'm more jealous than I have ever been... like ever. Not just the Mahomes era. 3. As great as Mahomes was, it is also pretty amazing how much a big athletic TE can help that offense. I know we're all down on Mitch, but if the front office focuses on bringing in and developing O-Line talent and an impact TE, I have a lot more hope for what this offense can do.

    Yourself right they aren't the answer, but they're one hell of a lot better than Trubisky No. They're not. If you're holding out any hope, you should change that quickly.

    I'm blown away that anybody wants to watch Daniel and/or Bray. Do yourself a favor and watch a different game, cause those two are not your answer.

    I didn't get to watch the game, but a Raiders fan friend of mine says he was surprised by how dominant the Raiders line was on both sides of the ball. He said Long was horrible.
  9. scarey
    That dismissing the "time change" issue and the fact fact that the Raiders are up 17-0 means they're "better" than the Bears. The better team doesn't always play better/win. I'm not dismissing any time change, I'm saying the way CHUCKY dealt with it is kicking Nagys ass and Nagy is the reason we are losing today. Have you ever traveled over seas and/or competed in a team sport? You are hugely over emphasizing this jet lag thing. It's a media driven plot line to any game outside of the US. In other words, easy sports journalism. The Bears aren't playing badly for a specific reason. They're just playing badly.

    I was getting a little nervous at the prospect of this becoming a game. Then that just happened and I had to leave the room so I didn't wake my wife from laughing. That was hilarious.
  11. scarey
    Yeah... that had nothing to do with that interception.
  12. scarey
    Last night's game and the game against TN were ridiculously intense. Seeing Purdue lose sucks, but damn, that was a great game to watch. Agreed. It sucks, but I appreciate the quality basketball.
  13. scarey
    I'm absolutely biased, but did Carsen Edwards just show us the best NCAA tournament run by an individual since Stephen Curry?
  14. scarey
    You cut yourself, don't you?
  15. scarey
    I'm glad to see that Foles finally paid for just chucking it up field.
  16. scarey
    That should have been pass interference on that WR pick play. Fuller read that perfectly and had a play on the ball.
  17. scarey
    Motion to change Chase Daniels first name to Popsiclehands?
  18. scarey
    They're getting that cut back all day.
  19. scarey
    I would prefer it, but I can't even be mad about that throw. That was aTD and Ogeltree made a ridiculous play.
  20. scarey
    Was that terrible throw deflected at the line of scrimmage?
  21. scarey
    Was there an unnecessary roughness call at the end of that return?
  22. scarey
    Outside of the fact that it was at the line of scrimmage, isn't there some discretion given to the official based on the player making a play on the ball and the paths that each player is taking?
  23. scarey
    And there it is folks. The very first person who will be a target of mine for a stink palm.
  24. scarey
  25. scarey
    Are they not allowing Trubisky to call hot routes? Or is he not recognizing the blitz? He literally did not have a throw to make because all of the routes were to long to develop.
