Can we make this the group consensus most absurd post of the night? Pretty please Why? Gruden is terrible. Cutler is bad. Drew Brees has been efficient and as he goes, the Saints go this year. Saying this is the best NO has looked in awhile isn't some great leap. You have to consider the competition. The Bears have flatlined. Their LBs are a bunch of backups, the secondary is probably the worst in the league. The offensive line has been dreadful for weeks. The coaches are killing the QB in the media and issuing tearful apologies 2 days later. The team is a complete mess, the players have likely turned on the coach, the QB hates his offensive coordinator, the coach is just sitting there waiting for the axe. You should be concerned that your only winning by 16

I think our being terrible for [expletive] ever has mad you forget how fun it is to actually have a competitive team. Give me 100 '04 teams over having to suffer through one more 2012 Don't get me wrong there were some great moments. The back to back HRs to tie and win it against Cincinnati, the 4 game sweep in Houston, the Corey Patterson 2 HR game against Pittsburgh in September and more but my lasting memory is a team I hated. I'll admit that part of it is personal because I loved to Chicago from NH in early September that year excited to see the playoff push and all I saw was no offense and Hawkins blowing saves. Maybe that has a bit to do with it. Fair point though

We're totally going to make this respectable aren't we?
-
lol it's humorous no doubt but he's not making up hate for the 2004 Cubs. I'll read it again tomorrow when I'm not drunk though. It's not hard to find similar examples though. Just admit it's not a black and white issue and we can move on. Edit: and not in a "sure it's not a black and white issue if you are a middle school whatever you said before" way
-
Alright, NOW you've made my night. By proving that other people clearly agree with me? Ok that's strange but whatever.

http://hirejimessian.com/2009/05/21/do-you-like-this-team-check-one-yes-no/ Pretty respected blogger hates 2004 Cubs http://writing.jmpressley.net/sports/cubs2004.html I know your whole thing is belittling others when you don't agree with them because you believe the world is black and white but this is clearly a debatable issue. Sorry it just is and no amount of groupthink or pitchfork gathering is going to change that
-
I haven't voted yet and someone voted yes so at least I'm not alone. I think Father Time has made you guys forget how infuriating that team was.
-
I think I mentioned the expectations vs how it ended. That's a big part of it. No one is mad if Hector Rondon blows a save in a 90 loss season but when a team with WS aspirations blows a save with a Kearns HR after your ace struck out 16 guys in 9 innings and gave up only 1 run and then the players respond by calling to complain that the announcers are being too critical of them it lays the seeds of a hate able team
-
Kent Mercker LaTroy Hawkins blowing like 15 games Bitching at umps Under performing Terrible collapse Basically firing both announcers for being too critical (although chip and Steve sucked) Sosa leaving the last game Dusty Baker was involved Feast or famine offense that was famine at the wrong time Blowing a critical game because of Victor Diaz Farnsworth was terrible and then went on the DL after kicking a fan The Rob Mackowiak double header That game against the Cardinals where we had a huge lead and then Pujols hit 3 HRs to beat us Missing out on the playoffs because of guys like LaTroy Hawkins, Victo Diaz and Austin Kearns That's off the top of my head. They were not likable at all and combine that with the expectations being unreached, the epic 2-7 collapse to end the season and Dusty Baler and it was a hated team.
-
No, but he's definitelt on the sauce. Well duh he was a Cardinal
-
Meatball You would probably prefer our next coach to be firey too right? :D
-
If Rose plays consistently on the level he played against Portland this team would look a crapload better. Whether or not that's going to happen is going to be what decides this season for the Bulls.
-
Nobody hates the 2004 team, you maniac. A ton of people hate the 2004 team. Maybe 10 years has cooled things down some, who knows. No, this is easily one of the most randomly absurd things you've ever posted here. I doubt that's true It didn't take too long to find the internet backing me up http://writing.jmpressley.net/sports/cubs2004.html

This Bears team is going to go down with the 2004 Cubs as the most hated Chicago sports team in recent memory. There is absolutely nothing to like about this team right now. Not one player, not one coach, not one front office person.
-
Do you have the memory of a goldfish or are you choosing to block the GB game out of your mind?
-
We should hire an offensive genius with our next hire so we can actually out scheme teams
-
No way, that would be horrible. Keep as many good games on Sunday as you can. After a quick look at their ratings, they're actually doing much, much better than I thought. I wonder why MNF gets good ratings and no one watches TNF. Maybe a combo of the aura of MNF and ESPNs hype machine
-
i had this revelation a few weeks ago He's definitely struggling but when your LBs suck and your safeties suck and you are playing with a broken hand and injured hip, it's a little hard to fully evaluate
-
Haha wow Fuller
-
This couldn't be going better so far. Gruden destroying Cutler every chance he gets
-
Ha terrible holding call. Bears must not be allowed to get into FG range
-
Here take 3 points No we don't want it (botched FGA) No seriously it's yours (defensive holding) Nope no thanks (missed FG)
