Discussed on the last page. Only 5 Pro Bowlers for the entire NFC north. 2 in Chicago and Detroit and 1 for Minnesota, 0 for Green Bay
-
No Jackson or Garcon @BradBiggs: Pro Bowl wide receivers are Brandon Marshall, Antonio Brown, Dez Bryant, Josh Gordon, Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson and Demaryius Thomas.

So umm Alshon didn't make the Pro Bowl Edit: Forte and Marshall made it for the Bears.

So much for Toews scoring drought -
I would think some of it counts against this year's cap and its spread really thin over the duration of the deal. It also locks up the best Kicker in the league. Not a horrible signing.... No but I'm planning on unfairly blaming him for missing the playoffs if/when we lose on Sunday.
-
He left the team yesterday with some sort if family issue. I don't think it's been disclosed what the issue is but I'm assuming its bad if he might miss this one.
-
I would assume that. Nothing I read mentions any discussion of him returning this year. Really tough break right before Big Ten season. Tourney might be hard to make without him.
-
Would have been awesome to take the pressure of playing for his next contract off his plate and giving him the ultimate approval that he's our guy from Bears management right before one of his biggest games in a Bears uniform.

I heard on the Score this morning that Cobb wasn't expected to play, but it was Hub who said that so who knows. I'm not worried about Finley playing. I think with the Bears run D, hobbled Lacy vs. Starks is marginally an upgrade. The biggest upgrade is of course Rodgers. Assuming his collarbone doesn't limit him, the Bears have to respect the deep ball and the idea of putting 8 in the box to stop the run is probably going to burn them. Then there's obviously much less chance of getting 1-2 TOs from the QB, as Rodgers doesn't turn the ball over like Flynn might. Hoping for the best. Still think we could win but definitely less excited about this one than I was earlier in the week.

I wonder if a Bears team has ever given up at least 20 points in every game in a season. Strangely enough the season low in points allowed was 20 to the Packers. edit: Just looked it up. They've allowed under 20 points in a game at least 3 times every single year in their existence. This year 0 through 15 games with Aaron Rodgers staring them down.
-
If it makes anyone feel better Rodgers only averages 3 points per drive against the 2013 Bears defense. I really thought there was no way Rodgers was playing so this is certainly surprising. Before this I would have given the Bears a 60-40 shot at winning, now I'm thinking 40-60.

Too bad Cowboys couldn't hold a 26 point lead or Gould couldn't hit a FG he usually makes in his sleep. Just the way it usually seems to go. Of course on the contrary if Sanu doesn't fumble deep in Bears territory about to go up 2 scores, or Cutler doesn't find Bennett in the end zone with 11 secs left or Rodgers doesn't go out in the first Packers game or we don't etch out the Ravens game....guess it's just been that kind of year.

Rodgers took all 1st team snaps in practice...
-
Jim Bowden doesn't have the Cubs in his 5 most likely destinations. Not that it means anything.
-
McCown seems unsure if he will play next year or retire and if he does play he'd be looking for a 1 year deal. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000304045

So the weather looks interesting for Sunday. High of 28 low of -3. Mondays high is 3. So I guess how uncomfortable this game will be depends on what time the cold front comes in. We could see temps in the 20s or we could see barely above 0 temps.
-
On Christmas Day (in Japan)? Weird.
-
Rodgers said his status for Sunday will be revealed on Thursday. I have a pretty good feeling he's not playing.

2013-14 Defending Champion Blackhawks Regular Season Thread
UMFan83 replied to Drew Doughty's topic in Other Sports
Out of curiosity, is it even worth a discussion of whether Kane has equaled or surpassed Toews in terms of overall ability? Toews will always be the better two way player and I don't expect his point total to exceed Kane but Kaner has taken his game to a whole new level this year, it's pretty nuts because he was already damn good before. -

Awesome video. PS, the Ducks have topped the Hawks in the West -
So... That is bad...I knew the run D was bad, I didn't think it was 'top 6 in NFL history' bad
-
So Nick Foles was 21-25 passing yesterday. His 4 incompletions? 3 throwaways and a dropped catch. Pretty much perfect.
-
Fair point. It's just that we showed no signs of being able to stop anything the Saints did in Week 5, and I have no reason to believe it would be different this time with an even less-healthy defense. Take your chances with a different team and hope Kaepernick gives us a few. Truth is we'll lose to either team most likely. Any chance Arizona still gets in? The same 49ers team that systematically destroyed our defense last year when it was still good. Although this time it would be January in Chicago but I have no reason to believe we wouldn't get destroyed. We at least held NO to 26 points and that was back when they were playing a lot better.
