    Yeah we should probably target a legit WR in the offseason. It's too bad we didn't have the cap space to sign anyone good this year because there were quite a few good WRs out there.
  2. UMFan83
    OK well that drive was rather piss poor by the D.
  3. UMFan83
    Probably because its preseason and it's ultimately not that big of a deal.
  4. UMFan83
    Sweet...announcers are really praising Cutler's footwork.
  5. UMFan83
    Great play but Cutler. He does actually look different. On that bomb to Hester, he looked like he was going to wing one of his back foot but too a spilt second to adjust himself and threw a beauty with perfect footwork.

    I was going to complain that Johnny Knox should learn what a touchback is, but then I realized it is the preseason and its stupid not to attempt the returns. I loathe this dumb new rule. Why make a rule that makes the game less exciting? What is wrong with having Special teams as part of the formula for winning games?
  7. UMFan83
    Despite giving up points, that was a decent drive by the Bears. They forced I think 4 third downs. They stopped them on 2 of them, and one of the ones they didnt stop them, they probably would of without a blatant hold. The Dline is getting into the backfield, the secondary is active, the linebackers are covering a lot of ground. Good stuff.

    So I flip from the Bears game and see its bases loaded 1 out for the Cubs. I flip back to the Bears and 10 minutes later I flip back and its 1-0 Braves. Sounds about right
  9. UMFan83
    Didn't you hear? horsecollar blocking is now legal Oh ok..sounds like a pretty good idea.
  10. UMFan83
    I was like who the hell on the Bears is named Pascoe Eli is making some awful passes thus far.
  11. UMFan83
    Julius Peppers is such a game changer. I hope Melton can keep it up in the regular season. If so the Bears line will be really really good.
  12. UMFan83
    Blatant hold missed that leads to 15 extra yards gained
  13. UMFan83
    I can see it now, the Bears are going to cut Podlesh in favor of the rookie to save money, even though they are 20 mil under the cap, and it will come back to haunt them a la Carlos Huerta.
  14. UMFan83
    Bah, at least the line is playing OK Oh and our special teams is [expletive] awesome.
  15. UMFan83
    Thank God Knox isn't the regular punt returner. He's already fielded 2 punts inside the 10 yard line.
  16. UMFan83
    I didn't realize there was a punting battle going on. I thought Podlesh was a fairly well respected punter.
  17. UMFan83
    What a bad drop. There's no excuse for not catching that one Roy.
  18. UMFan83
    Roy Williams first down signal #1 this year. Too bad its going to be reversed
  19. UMFan83
    Cutler's first legit pass attempt of the preseason is a pass to the TE lol.
  20. UMFan83
    Bears D looked energetic and active that first series
  21. UMFan83
    Started at about 7:06
  22. UMFan83
    Lovie doesn't seem too confident in the OLine. When asked whether the Bears line will be better than last time in NY, he said something like "We believe we have it corrected, but we'll see tonight"
  23. UMFan83
    Weird. Most people have Rose in the 6-10 range, which I am typically fine with. I am a huge Rose homer but I have a hard time putting him ahead of Durant, but my homer kicks in when I acknowledge he could potentially have a higher ceiling than the level Durant is playing at now. So does Durant I definitely agree.

    After 40 consecutive starts.... he's earned a day off, no? If Castro weren't such a lazy player being led by a bunch of even lazier players, the goal would be to earn a 41st consecutive start. Even with tonight's day off, Starlin is on a pace to start 157 games this season. Lazy, indeed !! Cal Ripken played every inning for like 7 consecutive years, setting the standard for all baseball players who aren't lazy like Castro and Aramis. I bet Aramis came in and said 'mang, I dont feel like playing today, i didnt get enough sleep last night' and Castro said "ohh....yeah me too' and then they played rock paper scissors to see who would sit today, but ramirez got tired of it after 2 rounds so he said castro could just have the day off.
