    Wow. Just disgusting. I can't bring myself to feel relief with the Bears losing. But I was pretty indifferent. I would have been happy with the win, just because the game was so dumb. Titans could do whatever they wanted offensively and still almost blew the game to Matt horsefeathering Barkley. Of course, SF and Jacksonville may not win another game either. And the Bears play SF coming up. In previous years i would have a hard time rooting for losses, but there is no saving face here. The record is going to look horrific and most of the players that are currently playing are probably not the future of the team. The best possibly outcome is a top 3 pick and a franchise QB lottery ticket. I cannot believe a team with Matt Barkley at QB, some guys I've never hear of at TE, 4 offensive lineman backups and a WR corps of Meredith, Thompson, Bellamy and the other guy I'm forgetting (edit: Wilson) was a dropped pass from a W. Also I missed much of the game, I see in the box score that Royal played but he only had 1 catch and based on listening to the 4th quarter on the radio he was not playing. Did he just suffer his standard injury?

    This completely That was the desperate narrative last season, too. It doesn't make it wrong. Who cares about being 3-8 vs 2-9?

    For me, Michigan should be ahead of Penn State unless Penn St annihilates Wisconsin similar to what OSU did a couple years ago. At least by score, Wisconsin and Michigan were close. But Penn State winning a conference title doesn't outweigh a 49-10 beating. They lost to Iowa so that argument is moot. Penn State has just one conference loss to Michigan's two. PSU's second loss was a 3 point loss to Pitt back in week two. I don't think the Michigan head to head win holds up if PSU beats Wisconsin Yeah it seems foolish to compare PSU and Michigans resume. Michigan lost on a last second FG on the road to a team that will probably be ranked going into bowls and in a controversial double OT game on road against number 2. They've also beaten both Big Ten Division champs, blowing out one and blew out The potential pac 12 champ who is a top 10 team as well. The only wart for UM (besides the obvious 2 losses and lack of conference title) is that they only played 4 road games and went 2-2 in them without a quality road win (wins over Rutgers and MSU)

    Lol I can't see any way 3 big ten teams get in especially when 2 of them didn't even play in the conference title game. I've been seeing Michigan Twitter coming up with scenarios where Michigan gets in but while they seem plausible I'm not going to get my hopes up at all. It's not happening
  7. UMFan83
    Yeah after he was attacked by the fan

    Maybe my homer goggles are on but I keep seeing the replay of the 4th down. There is no way he got the first down. The only reason it looks close is because of the camera angle. If you focus on where his body is and then imagine the camera even with the 15 yard line, it doesn't look like he gets to 15. Such a shame. Yes I'm still not over it.

    Ohio state deserved to lose that game. 2 penalties for 6 yards are you kidding me? What I mean is that Michigan threw two dumb INT, committed a dumb PI, and let someone who was trapped 10 yards behind the LOS dance around and somehow get within a yard. You can't do that and expect to win. Yeah I'm sure there are a lot of rational ways to analyze this game. I'm choosing to go full blind rage with nothing but irrationality.

    Top 5 most painful sports defeat in my life. I think he was short by regardless it seemed like every single call went OSUs way from the refs (yes I'm probably a homer). You mean Samuel can dance around the backfield for 30 seconds and not one OSU player holds?

    Jesus Christ if Michigan could just get out of its own way they could win this going away. OSU has done nothing but Michigan keeps letting them back in it. Ugh

    We've come a long way from TTs Google Docs spreadsheets yelling at us for putting LaHair at 1B

    Also who is Jean Segura? Is that Babe Segura's little brother or something?
  16. UMFan83
    That's pretty nuts

    Geez Michigan shoots 19.6% from the field (10-52) and 7.7% from 3 (2-26). That was one of the worst sporting events I've ever watched

    Court rules in favor of IHSA. I feel bad for everyone involved, its a shitty situation for everyone and I sort of agree with all sides. IHSA would open up a can of worms by changing the outcome of a game based on a ref error. Plainfield North shouldn't have to voluntarily forefit a game that the IHSA determined that they won. And of course Fenwick should absolutely be upset for their kids who actually did win the game and deserve to play a state title game that they would remember for the rest of their lives with pride. But I think this is probably the best outcome overall as much as I'd like to award the game to Fenwick.

    The story is getting national...they were talking about it for awhile on Mike and Mike this morning.

    I turned on the BTN and saw "Indiana - Fort Wayne" and thought IU was playing an exhibition game against the local NBDL team or something.
  21. UMFan83
    Seems appropriate to quote this after last night's game. What a heartbreaker for them...inbound the ball successfully and maybe hit some FTs and that game is won by NU

    My feelings on Fangio is he would have to be doing a much better job and/or be much younger, for me to worry about losing him in any coaching change situation. Since going to the Fox/Fangio set up, the Bears have prioritized defense, acquiring 7,000 linebackers, as well as 5 of their first 6 picks last year were defense. And all we have to show for it is the defense looks competent most of the time. I say you fire Fox and then figure out Fangio's future after you hire the next HC. If he stays, he stays, and if he goes he goes. So be it. But it's not like this guy is working miracles over here and can't be replaced. works for me, as long as they don't hire a 4-3 guy to DC or something after spending 2 years gearing the roster toward a 3-4. do we have any idea as to who the bigger HC candidates this offseason are going to be? Lets hire Josh McDaniels and then let him get rid of Cutler for a second time. But seriously, if we are looking for a HC in the offseason, would you prefer us going after an offensive type coach or a defensive coach? I could depend on whether Fangio is likely to stay.

    I think they will keep Pace. By no means has he been an unquestioned success but I don't think he's been terrible enough to lose his job. With regards to the draft, the White pick is going to look bad until he plays enough to be evaluated. But when tehy've been on the field Goldman and Amos look like keepers, Grasu didn't look that great in his rookie year but the Bears liked him enough to be the starter going into this year. Langford is a depth RB but at least showed flashes. Then this year the floyd pick was considered a risk and he has shown considerable promise. I haven't heard much complaining about Whitehair so he must be doing well. I honestly cant remember anything about the rest of the picks outside of Howard, just haven't been paying enough attention. And as for Howard, he looks like a Pro Bowl caliber RB so far. FA has been a mixed bag as it always is. McPhee has been great when healthy, Freeman is one of the highest rated LB in the league this year. Hicks has been solid and I think Trevathan has as well, although maybe not up to expectations. There have been mistakes for sure, but not enough where I'd consider completely cleaning house.
