    Does Mel Tucker even care anymore? 6 quarters of Fuller man to man on CJ hasn't convinced you to maybe change something?
  2. UMFan83
    Not that I want them to win but even the worst teams rise up and attempt to play spoiler at least once down the stretch (like the Redskins yesterday). The bears might be too dead to even do that. 4 straight games against playoff teams (most likely), 3 at home and so far 3 blowouts and one that looks to be in the beginning stages of a 4th.
  3. UMFan83
    Hilarious. Did everything right on 4th down and it's a 30 yard gain
  4. UMFan83
    When did Todd Collins rejoin the Bears?
  5. UMFan83
    Given the reports that Harbaugh is considered too pricy at HC I doubt the Bears are going to throw gobs of money at their problems 2 levels above HC
  6. UMFan83
    Clausen providing the spark Jay couldn't provide by throwing conservative WR screens
  7. UMFan83
    Wouldn't be a Bears game without an early special teams penalty Edit: Nevermind!

    Haha on the Comcast show info for the game it says: "Chicago feeds backup QB Jimmy Clausen to the No. 2 ranked Lions defense"
  9. UMFan83
    This year maybe. I'll take this year in exchange for having the last 2 seasons.

    I'd go if I didn't have to pay or put any efforts towards getting a ticket, it was fun the one time I went. But yeah overall it's just a bunch of weirdos or dads that take their kids ( which is totally excusable IMO)

    I have seen a lot worse parodies....

    Ironically, that's the same number of times he went to class in Memphis too. *rimshot*
  15. UMFan83
    Rose out again tonight. In his 7 year career he's only played in Memphis twice.

    Someone that should find a realtor in the Des Moines area

    Slow on the draw today Banedon

    Looking at the NL so far this offseason: Padres - Better Dodgers - Better Giants - Worse/Same Rockies/Diamondbacks - doesn't matter Cardinals - Better Cubs - Better Reds - Same Pirates - Same Brewers - Same Braves - Worse Mets - Same Nats - Same Marlins - Better Phillies - doesn't matter If you assume (big assumption in December) the Dodgers, Cardinals and Nats are favorites for the divisions, that leaves the Padres, Cubs, Pirates, Marlins and Giants fighting for WCs. Maybe the Brewers, Reds and Mets with an outside shot. I guess if I wasn't a homer, the Cubs might be closer to that outside shot group. Just thinking outloud, I expect to be challenged on half of this.

    Chicago media has been awesomely brutal towards the Bears

    Noah had surgery during the offseason, and the thought was that he'd be ok for the season, but it was acknowledged that it's still a problem, and he's going to be having to fight it all season. Apparently there's swelling after games...it's going to be a rough season for him. EDIT: All that said, Thibs says they're more worried about his ankle right now than his knee. I think it was Cowley who in the preseason said his knee was bone on bone and would be a problem the rest of this season if not his career. Cowley is kind of a hack so I didn't really believe that, and I probably still don't but it's definitely something I keep coming back to when I see Noah struggle. If last year was peak Noah, it sucks that it had to come in a meaningless season. Edit: This was from a RealGM thread in October: http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1352130

    RIP to the end of Derrick Rose's consecutive games streak at 12. Even Iron Men succumb to humanity eventually.

    Come on, don't have revisionist history. Lovie is not an elite coach but he's not bad. He provided stability and leadership* and his players seemed to always play hard for him and loved playing for him. There were no instances of inmates running the asylum in Lovie's tenure, there were no situations where a live ball lay on the ground while his players were walking off the field, there were no situations where one of his assistants bad mouthed a player to the media anonymously and then allowed that coach to stay on. Did Lovie have significant flaws? Yes, definitely. Did he deserve to move on after 2012? Yeah, probably. But I don't think its fair to say he's not a good coach. *Although its clear that the Bears had strong leadership on both offense and defense in the form of Kreutz and Urlacher which certainly helped him maintain control in the locker room.

    I can't believe Clausen is starting for us....the only QB that Todd Collins was able to beat in a Bears uniform. Clausen finished with a 29.7 rating in that game, Collins 6.3

    What is everyone's favorite Trestman cliche? *.....and that starts with me *We had a great week of practice *Any explanation of anything that involves the word "process" Any others?
