    Right but good QBs are never available. I don't think anyone is suggesting to get rid of Cutler and sign a FA to become our QB of the future.

    You're slowly but surely becoming Fred. Hah, I thought it was interesting. Maybe not. I should have added Go Bears! to the end.

    Bears are 16-14-2 on thanksgiving but 3-6 since the merger with all but 2 of those 9 games coming against Detroit. They have lost their last 3 Thanksgiving games (2004's ugly fest against the Cowboys, 1999 against the Lions and 1997's 55-20 drubbing in Detroit) and 5 of their last 6 dating back to 1981. Their last Thanksgiving victory was in 1993 against the Lions.

    As great as it is that the Bears won this week, it hurts that the Cowboys, Eagles, 49ers and Seahawks all won this week. 3 of those 4 teams along with the Lions are likely the 4 teams we'd be competing with for 2 playoff spots. I'm think one of the West teams will get in and one won't, which means that'd we'd be hoping for a Eagles/Cowboys and Lions collapse to have a shot at the playoffs (if we win out which we won't)

    Here's the "Cubs tried super hard but were barely outbid by another team" article for Martin. Feel free to help Rogers write his next article and treat this like a mad libs and replace all instances of Martin with Lester and Blue Jays with Cardinals/Red Sox/Braves/Mystery Team A/Mystery Team B, just in case. http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/cubs/post/_/id/28140/inside-the-pursuit-of-russell-martin

    We got Hank White to be a coach, what else do you greedy bastards want?
  7. UMFan83
    Don't worry...after we keep rolling over our payroll flexibility because we can't find a good FA to sign at our predetermined price we will have $150 million to spend in the 2018 offseason.

    Since it's a short week and people are already talking about it in the Bucs thread I'll start this. If the Bears want to get any respect as a fringe playoff contender, they must win this one. To win, they must play significantly better than they have in the last 4 games. All that said the Lions offense looks broken and there are signs that Detroit is going into their annual tailspin. Might be playing them at the right time. Lions favored by 6.5
  9. UMFan83
    They said during the game today Stafford has never beaten a team on the road that went on to finish the year with a winning record. That seems impossible Yup...he has beaten teams that went on to finish 8-8 on the road 4 times though (2013 Bears, 2013 Cowboys, 2011 Cowboys, 2011 Broncos)
  10. UMFan83
    And it happened a 4th time against a decent team (San Francisco)
  11. UMFan83
    Lol Kentucky beating Montana State 58-11 with 11 mins left in the game. Montana state hasnt scored in the first 9 mins of the second half. Montana State shooting 12% from the field (5-44)
  12. UMFan83
    Sorry I meant second best in terms of points scored. In most other metrics they were more like 5th or 6th best.
  13. UMFan83
    I guess I don't understand why. Line blocking a little worse? Yeah. Jeffery with a step down? Yup. Marshall having a down year? Yup. But those can't account for the 2nd best offense in the league turning into somewhere in the late teens. Is it on Cutler? Trestmans play calling? Or a combo of a lot of things. It's rather perplexing.
  14. UMFan83
    I'm just happy there will be some meaning, however little, against the Lions. I'd watch either way but now I can look forward to it a little more.
  15. UMFan83
    Such a Lovie challenge
  16. UMFan83
    Bend but don't break. Another Lovie-esque defensive stand....
  17. UMFan83
    This....is actually a really Lovie game by the Bears
  18. UMFan83
    This offense is completely different in terms of play calling the last month or so.
  19. UMFan83
    Can't be any worse than the last 2 times the Bears played on Thanksgiving could it? I believe the past 2 were 2004 against Dallas (the worst football game I've ever watched) and that 55-20 drubbing in Detroit
  20. UMFan83
    This offense is having a nice tribute to Lovie.
  21. UMFan83
    Trying to force the issue deep isn't the way to attack this defense Hasn't just been this week though.
  22. UMFan83
    Why did this offense get completely neutered? Brett Favre threw a bunch of picks but they still kept the offense opened up.
  23. UMFan83
    If only we had a thread to discuss all things music
  24. UMFan83
    Weird to think that starting tomorrow the Bears have 3 games in the next 12 days and then 1 in the next 16. In 12 days we could either be anywhere from 7-6 and right back in it, or 4-9 and hoping we finish our tank.

    He's gonna be sooo sore at his kids graduation
