  1. He can play beginning in week 9?
  2. How is Willie against the run?
  3. Did someone say to bench Briggs? I feel like giving him a few plays off wouldn't be considered benching. Sharpton and Greene both have several career starts, it's not like these are practice squad rookies. They're younger, faster players who at the very least should push the starters. Soul said "maybe it's time to move on from Briggs." Just responding to that. Didn't know if he meant this year or next year,
  4. There's no way Trestman is benching Briggs because some unproven player has a good game against a bad run offense
  5. Whose call is it to pull personnel on defense? Would Trestman ever interfere? Clearly De La Puente is the better player, but they are going with the veteran, so I don't think Trestman is going to go against his philosophy on defense. I think the same thing is going to happen with the LBs even if Trestman wanted someone in and someone out.
  6. I still can't really see this team winning more than 9 games and wild card spots are going to be really hard to come by
  7. Willy Young has more sacks in 6 games here than the last 3 with Detroit playing with an unbelievable line there
  8. Didn't see Atlanta only putting up 13 so far against this defense with 3 no-name LBS. But when you have bad lines on both sides of the ball, you really can't win many games in the NFL.
  9. I love how our fans consider starting at the 24 yard line decent field position with this special teams. 10 yards not worth the possibility that we forget to play to the whistle again or some other dumb thing happening
  10. I don't like that call. Why punt again? Already got decent field position.
  11. Three of their starters are out for the year
  12. If you can't score on this defense, you aren't winning jack
  13. "Jay Cutler, the Pro-Bow QB of the Bears..." First thing I heard from the Fox play-by-play man.
  14. Niko's defense isn't bad. Had a few steals. Picking off balls in the paint like Pippen.
  15. Not an Orioles fan, but I forgot they don't have Wieters, Machado, or Davis and still led the league in homers. They will be good for a while.
  16. Everyone knows the TV ratings are going to skyrocket, most likely beginning next year. There's no way the TV deal has to be set in stone for the next 20 years based on the poor ratings the last few years?
  17. He's one of the hosts of NFL AM on the NFL Network. On the radio a lot here in Atlanta. The Falcons strength in their WRs is the strength of the Bears defense with their corners. The Falcons can't run the ball, so the Bears can focus on attacking Ryan. There are no good matchups for the Falcons on defense.
  18. Steve Wyche said the exact opposite
  19. I'd rather be DC of the Bears than head coach of the Raiders unless they move to L.A. I still think Trestman is on the hot seat. Rex as head coach next year? Could Kromer be OC and actually call plays? I know he is OC now, obviously just a formal title.
  20. Atlanta could be a good fit for him if Smith gets bounced, offense is in place already I don't see the owner wanting a Rex type of coach, but I think he would be a good fit
  21. Angelo now saying the "hundreds and hundreds" comment was not referring to domestic abuse. Just anything done against NFL rules? To be fair, the USA Today quote is a snippet and doesn't properly set the context, something Angelo doesn't have control over in the published article. But on Twitter, people link the hundreds to domestic abuse and quote Angelo.
  22. Would Oakland or Jacksonville or Miami or Buffalo give him a head coaching job first? Those teams have crappy offenses and that's something Rex can't fix.
  23. Back to Rex Ryan. Can he coach a 4-3 or is it time for the Bears to move to a 3-4? Would a 3-4 even work with the personnel the Bears have, especially Ferguson and Sutton?
  24. With respect to every decision made, there are good ones and bad ones (and relatively inconsequential ones). Numbers and probabilities are our best bet at figuring out which ones are which. What the hell else is there? Managerial instinct, the traditionalists say. "I saw so-and-so hit well in the cage today despite his recent struggles and I will pinch-hit him in the 8th." I don't buy that there is a psychology and sociology to the game, things we haven't figured out yet that influence how players think, but I think it's possible and one day it could be quantifiable.
