    You've never heard of Jose Abreu? Jesus he made the all star team and everything.

    No. This team's problem is not that they aren't running the ball enough. who said that it was? according to you, everybody. people are griping that it is a minor problem not the team's singular problem as you have worded it.

    when are you going to take away Cutler's ability to check out of runs? why would you want to take away Cutler's ability to check out of runs? Haha, UMFan is complaining about check outs that led to first down completions. everybody seems to be griping about not running the ball against the 32nd ranked run D, and earlier this year in another game. In both cases Trestman defends himself by clearly stating that Cutler checked out of multiple runs so...that seems to be a part of why they aren't running the ball enough, no?

    Isn't passer rating kind of stupid? It's artificially high because his completion percentage is up due to a heavy increase in dump offs and short passes (conversely his yards per attempt is the 3rd lowest of his career), and several garbage time touchdown passes thrown. He hasn't been all terrible, I'm not putting the blame solely on him for the Bears performance obviously (although you can assign more blame to him for the losses against Buffalo and Carolina) but I don't see anything that suggests his performance is any better than his entire career to this point.

    Apparently PFF graded the Bears defense overall at +0.4 yesterday. There goes any respect I have left for their rating system. Shea McClellen had a +2.8

    I don't know why I keep starting these. For some reason, the Bears open as 5 point favorites.

    I was just looking at the 2015 schedule to see if we might catch a break and have a fluke year to contend, and realized that we have to play the NFC and AFC Wests, possibly the 2 best divisions in football. Granted, looking at next years schedule during week 10 of the previous season, its impossible to determine just how easy or hard the schedule will be but way in advance it looks like it will be very difficult, with the exception of playing the last place teams in the south (TB) and east (Washington)

    definitely this seeing as a large majority of our core is over 30, and the team is certain to be broken up over the next couple of offseasons. In 2007 we had injuries that made our defense suck and our offense was pretty below average, but we still had a very good defense with its skill players in their primes, and were playing in a league where having an above average D and a halfway decent offense with a good running game was still good enough to be a contender. This was a veteran team put together to win this year or next year or be broken apart and stripped down. That's not to say we don't have young talent on this team, because we do, but its not like 2007 (at least I dont think so at this point) where we had Urlacher, Briggs, Tillman, Tommie Harris, Mike Brown, Alex Brown, Idonije, Ogunleye as a core. Obviously some didn't work out, some got old quicker, but I'm trying to look at it from how I felt in 2007.

    This is the best because @BaseballsBestFans would have a field day retweeting Cardinals fans justifying the child porn dungeon

    Embrace the fun bad! Although this is pretty much peak anger. From here it quickly turns to apathy until the season ends. Sucks because I was looking forward to the 5 out of 6 home game stretch all year and when it finally gets here the team is dead.

    Your feelings tend to change when you give up 106 points in 2 games. I said all along if he lost the team and/or the team bottoms out he is on the hot seat but most likely he'd be back. He's not taking the most likely route right now.

    Records set or tied tonight: Most points allowed in a half: 42 (previous record was 38 set last week) Most points allowed in a game: 55 (tied) Most passing TDs allowed in a game: 6 Most points allowed in back-to-back games: 106 (previous record was 87 set in W16-17 last year) Close: Most yards penalized in a game: 163 (2nd all time, record was 170)

    I'm mad the Packers are probably going into victory formation unless they get a TD on this set of downs. I want to see them get to 62
  20. UMFan83
    yeah i really should go to bed, but I really want to hear him and cutler speak.

    Well from Trestman's perspective, the potential net gain to his job security from his team scoring some garbage time points is not worth the potential disaster of one of his highly paid offensive stars suffering a serious injury during meaningless football.
  23. UMFan83
    Officials are going to review to make sure no Bears committed a penalty on that play because they had to have.
  24. UMFan83
    Devin He- I mean Chris Williams, you are...not ridiculous, still bad. But nice return.
  25. UMFan83
    You know for years I saw that 1980 game where the Bears won 63-7 and wondered how the hell one of these teams could beat the other by such a large margin in this rivalry. And now it makes sense today.
