    I know some of the fault was on the receivers, but he's forcing passes in situations he doesnt need to. He needs to know that he has 5 yards of running in front of him, they're already in FG range so you don't need to force it. Take the 2nd and 5 and look for a better choice on 2nd down. He's gonna drive me absolutely nuts if he plays that stupidly.

    I cannot believe Cutler just did that. Keep telling myself good with the bad.......

    *post jokingly blasting the Cutler trade because of a 3 and out on the first possession*

    That's horrible Roast. You root for your team to win, and then you screw your ex's best friend after the game win or lose.

    I don't know why but I'm sick of NFC East games...I'd have liked to have seen Arizona and SF.
  6. UMFan83
    Yes, taking me from up 20 points to down 30 points in my fantasy game by himself. I know, no one cares about my team.

    I loved watching that Bengals game, and then flipping to the Cubs/Reds game inbetween with Cincinnati fans.

    5 more hours until the Packers start losing. Thanks for teasing me for a half Browns.

    Someone was talking about on the radio the other day that he is banged up, but I haven't seen it being reported anywhere else.

    Sweet, I started Brady Quinn and Braylon Edwards so I just lost 70 total yards, a reception and 2 TDs on a stupid ruling. And the Vikings are still winning. Screw this.
  11. UMFan83
    Calm down....I promise you we'll be alright, even if we start 0-2

    Green's a great color. Not with Yellow.
  13. UMFan83
    Man how can you people all be Packers fans? They're green and stupid. I just never understood why anyone would want to be affiliated with that team.
  14. UMFan83
    Nope...make sure you come back afterwards. I'll come back if the unthinkable happens.

    Wow...also look at their playoff odds: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/playoff-odds/2008/dvoa-playoff-odds-report The link has 2008 in it, but it's clearly the 2009 odds. According to them, the Bears have a: -79.5% chance of making the playoffs (which is the highest in the NFC) -55.5% chance of winning the division -40.7% chance of getting a first round bye -37.1% chance of getting to the conference championship game -23.3% chance of winning the conference championship and a Super Bowl appearance (1/4 odds wow) -11.8% chance of winning the Super Bowl I'll take those odds.

    The Sports Guy picked the Bears to finish 10-6 and win a Wild Card spot, and beating the Seahawks (4 seed) and Saints (2 seed) on the road before losing to the Packers (1 seed) in the NFC Title game. The Packers go on to beat the Steelers in the Super Bowl. If I were a Packer fan, I'd hate all the hype my team was getting. Especially a team who hasn't proved anything, and the only thing that most people are going on is their preseason performance. Not saying the Packers won't be good, but c'mon, the Lions went 4-0 in the preseason last year and their starters were a big part of that....
  18. UMFan83
    They pick the Bears to win, 24-23. Thanks, I appreciate that.

    I don't know why people are so passionately defending Ryan Theriot...he's a below average SS who can be replaced but isn't a big enough hole that he absolutely has to be replaced. To be honest, I don't care about his OPS, OBP or whatever. I care about his defense and his baserunning. I would like to replace Theriot with someone who can play above average defense and have at least a .700 OPS.

    Funny...I just saw the replay of Lou taking Z out, and I'm pretty sure it looked like Z, with his back to Lou walking off the mound, said "F*** you" under his breath, and then Lou responded with "what did you say?"
  21. UMFan83
    Dammit, somewhere in the back of my mind I knew that. Thanks for pointing that out.

    Can anyone with ESPN Insider post some excerpts from their Scouts, Inc. Bears/Packers game preview, specifically their final conclusion/prediction. My Insider account just ran out.
  23. UMFan83
    Either way, I'd just like them to play Jake Fox in LF over Bobby "I have no future in Major League Baseball" Scales. I'm not big on tanking unless you are fighting for a top 5 pick. Where the Cubs are at, they have an opportunity to draft a player with more talent than the pick they're drafting at simply by being willing to pay for a player that other teams ahead of them can't afford to. So IMO it doesn't matter. I just want this team to have a winning record for the 3rd year in a row. We'll likely finish with 79 wins or more in 6 of the last 7 years, which if you keep things in perspective (aka how the Cubs did in the decade prior to this one), it's a good thing. Still, they should be like the Yankees and Red Sox and making the playoffs 9/10 years.

    I thought all USA needed to clinch a spot was a draw in either of the next 2 games. A draw would put the USA at 17 points, and Costa Rica has 12 points, so if they won their last 2 and USA drew and lost, and Mexico and Honduras both end up with more than 17 points (Mexico has 15, Honduras 13), then USA would still finish 4th. If USA draws to finish with 17, and Costa Rica fails to win 1 of their 2 last games, the most points they can end up with is 16.
  25. UMFan83
    Well we've won 4 of 5. The 2007 Rockies won 14 of 15 in their famous comeback to the playoffs, which means the Cubs need to win the next 10. Do it. Sadly, even if we did that, we'd probably still be 4-5 games out of the WC lead. Oh well.
