  1. I'm going to ignore how much this sucks and just pretend the Cardinals felt they needed to make this trade because of the upcoming Cubs juggernaut
  2. Whelp, they can have him at that price. Tired of this refrain. Kyle is going to have a field day with this
  3. Just win this week (and next week but that's probably too much to ask for) and make a bowl. I don't think it would save Hoke's job even if we won out and finished 8-5, so no harm in rooting for them to at least play in December/January.
  4. I found the Yahoo Playoff Scenario Generator....I don't think it's meant to work until after next week because Week 12 isn't on there, but I made a scenario where the Bears are the #1 seed and the Lions and Packers both miss the playoffs :) https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/playoffscenario?algorithm=custom&10=1015410&11=D4000400&12=14000001&13=44400040&14=15004104&15=11001401&16=50044410
  5. I know this isn't exactly a hot take, but I find it a little funny that we traded Maholm for La Stella and the right to rehab Vizcaino for 2.5 years.
  6. Who buys a $200+ ticket and then doesn't show? I know a couple of STH's that have had tickets for a long time and don't go to at least 1-2 games each year. I am not sure why. At the very least, sell them on Stubhub or give them away at face value at lower. I know STH's that have 4 tickets and they've given them to me at face value ($70). Plenty of people still want to go to Bears games regardless of the record because tickets are so hard to get. But I guess if you're rich. Lowest face value ticket this year is $81. I have four, I had to sell two last minute because my fair weather friend said he had to cancel because it's too cold and the Bears suck. At least he could have lied and said his kid was sick. I sold them on stub hub Saturday for $73. And the people who bought them ended up being pretty cool people. Never invite him to a game again. That's a terrible friend and a terrible excuse.
  7. Ahhh the Lovie Smith bowl. Bears open as 6 point favorites. Let's get a win and move to 5-6 to at least make the Thanksgiving game against the Lions somewhat interesting. Also with 2 Thursday games and a Monday game upcoming, this is the last Sunday game until Week 16
  8. Guess it makes me feel a little better seeing the Pats put up 45 and 42 points in their first 2 games after playing the Bears and the Packers put up 53. All 3 games were against good teams with at least average defenses (Denver, Indy, Philly)
  9. Who buys a $200+ ticket and then doesn't show? I know a couple of STH's that have had tickets for a long time and don't go to at least 1-2 games each year. I am not sure why.
  10. Maybe this little outburst will shake them out of their funk before the road trip.
  11. Apparently there were 6,472 no shows at Soldier Field today.
  12. GMAFB. Not just worse, but much worse? 82 QB rating to 86. Cutler has only been under 82 in a Tice or Ron Turner offense. Cutler isn't the best qb to not win a Super Bowl. It's not some tragedy that cutler doesn't have a ring. No but its a tragedy that Eli has - twice. Although I can't say I'm mad that he beat the Pats both times.
  13. Where does the Bears draft pick fall to with this one?
  14. This is embarrassing (the clock issues) INT! FADE TO BLACK! JARED ALLEN WINS AT SOLDIER FIELD!!!
  15. Vikings offense was terrible all game until the last drive of the game of course.
  16. Jay was right, we do need a new punter
  17. Why can't we have good punters in Chicago?
  18. Well this will be the 3rd time this year that the opponent is down 8 with the ball for one last drive.
  19. Jesus get the game clock working, its under 3 minutes left in a 1 possession game.
  20. Man, if we were in the NFC South, a win today would put us tied for 1st place if the Saints and Falcons scores hold. We'd still have a shot to salvage our season.
  21. He makes those catches look sorta easy. Amazing.
  22. There's your gutsy outside run on 4th and inches
  23. I didnt mind the goal line play call. Those types of plays typically confuse a defense. All you need is a split second of indecision by the D and its an easy TD. It didn't work but whatever.
