Well, he kicked it right at the guy, I thought it was pretty clear he was trying to get the ball deflected off of him. Someone needs to draft that kicker in the first round. The ability to aim your kicks at defenders so they deflect back to your guys would be a pretty valuable skill to have i would think.

Yeah let's go win...in like 9 freaking months ugh. NFL offseasons are so long.

I don't know. I think he writes a pretty compelling case, and the things that were said to him by his coaches is disturbing and unacceptable, but in terms of linking what was said/done to him and his release from the Vikings, there are 2 sides to every story. Either way, he's certainly blackballed now. our punter was pretty much decapitated, surely he had a place on the bengals roster if he wasn't blackballed. valid point. I know the Bears brought him in for a tryout somewhere in October/November. Did the Bengals even bring him in. Maybe he was blackballed, but I'm still somewhat dubious that his campaigning for marriage equality was the main reason he was cut. I edited my previous post to add that in a results driven league, it seems illogical to burn a 5th round pick and cut their adequately performing punter because he was outspoken about marriage equality.

I have a hard time believing that in a results driven league, teams would actually choose to burn a 5th round pick and release an adequately performing punter because he outwardly supports gay marriage. Either way, he's certainly blackballed now.

Well they have Revis as their #1 CB, and I don't believe they need any help at DT. Tillman could be a #2 CB, but I don't see Melton going there.

Come on fire someone!

Happy they did this so quickly. Love the Jennings and Slausson signings too. Very happy overall.

The packers might get blacked out?

Final PFF scores of the season: http://i.imgur.com/XlTKDC2.png http://i.imgur.com/SV5PdeM.png http://i.imgur.com/fzoRodC.png Jesus Christ, how does a punter who only punted 2-3 times in a game get that low of a score? Good riddance Nice job by the offense overall, terrible job by the defense as usual. I'm high on Corey Wootton next year if we keep his position stable (if we resign him....assuming we will). Amazingly, the run defense graded positively and the defense really sucked with pass rush (not surprising) and pass coverage (mildly surprising).

What's that now? Double dammit

What's that now? Dammit 6th in the NFC

This reddit post looks at overall records over the last 10 years.... http://imgur.com/a/Lgl5X Bears had a record of 89-71, good for 12th in the NFL and 6th overall There are 6 teams within 2 games of them recordwise, the Saints (91), Falcons (90), Giants (90), Eagles (89.5), Seahawks (88) and Cowboys (87). The Saints made 5 playoff appearances, Falcons 5, Giants 5, Eagles 6, Seahawks 7, Cowboys 3 and the Bears 3. Makes sense that the Cowboys and Bears would be tied with the least number of appearances of those teams since they seem to be the ones mired in mediocrity year in and year out. Oh, and if those 10 year records were set up as an actual season, the Bears would miss out on the NFC's 6th seed by 1/2 of a game over the Eagles, which seems fitting.

With McGary out, I could see 7 to 9 B1G wins for Michigan, but maybe they will surprise, Morgan and Horford will step up and play better. The conference looks really good again this year so it will be tough.

Cutler was on his final show today. Didn't say anything newsworthy just reinterated his desire to stay in Chicago, when asked about hometown discount he said something to the effect of "obviously when someone leaves their team in FA they usually are offered more to leave" and said he would be disappointed if there wasn't a contract in place by the start of the new league year.

He was also Peter King's offensive player of the week this week lolz

Interesting take from Yahoo: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/pitch-counts-are-a-real-concern-when-it-comes-to-sensation-masahiro-tanaka-055941978.html -
Gold. My favorite:

This makes the most sense, and is also entirely avoidable. I'm not sure if they checked out of one coverage and into another on the 4th and 8, but they were also late to adjust on another important play earlier in the game. On that one, Corey Wootten was still in his stance a good full second after Rodgers received the ball. Was that the one where the LBs were all hitting their helmets indicating coverage changes and out of position when the ball was snapped? I think that was a 3rd down and luckily Rodgers overthrew his guy in the end zone.
-
Yeah, he's in complete denial that Cutler could be gone. Or he knows things. Marshall also predicted in the week before it was announced that Cutler would play in the Detroit game. I think he also predicted he'd be back for the Dallas game.
