    Man, I remember the last time the announcers spent the entire game fellating the opposing young QB against the Bears.
  2. UMFan83
    The Falcons look like a legitimate top playoff seed in the NFC
  3. UMFan83
    What the hell is he doing?!?!
  4. UMFan83
    We're in big trouble
  5. UMFan83
    At some point they'll start backing off the safeties and a linebacker or two to see if the rest of the D can still shut down the run. That time is now.
  6. UMFan83
    ok 3rd and medium, I think we got them
  7. UMFan83
    This is embarassing. Every single 3rd down in 3rd and long. We are dominating them the first 2 downs.
  8. UMFan83
    Wow Matt Ryan is good. How many more weeks are teams going to gameplan to stop the running game, assuming they will be caught in 3rd and long situations and forced to make mistakes? You need to gameplan to stop this QB
  9. UMFan83
    Wow this ref is weird. He talks funny and he referred to Turner as the QB
  10. UMFan83
    Would have been nice to have it inside the 5. Brown is smart. Most DBs that go running with the football forget to tuck it and half the time get it stripped back out again.
  11. UMFan83
    Gotta say it...the Falcons look good. I hope the Bears came prepared.

    This is going to be a fun season. Of the undefeateds, there is a strong chance that Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma State, and even Penn State lose. It might be a another year where a 1 loss team gets into the title game.
  13. UMFan83
    So weird to see the Hawks on WGN
  14. UMFan83
    I think if we resigned him, we would be getting a line of around .250/.340/.460 from him in part time play.
  15. UMFan83
    Mike needs to prove he can hit adequately against lefties if he wants to become a full time player.
  16. UMFan83
    No. Jim was a good in season move last year but its time to get someone in there that we can count on for more than one season.
  17. UMFan83
    If we even won 1 playoff game, my impressions of the season would be different. Now all we are going to hear about next year, no matter how good or bad they are doing is, yeah fine but will they win a playoff game. Then if we make the playoffs, we are going to hear nonstop about how they can't win a playoff game. If you thought the fans were bad this year for the games at Wrigley, wait until next year if we make the playoffs.
  18. UMFan83
    There has also been I think 20 other teams to win a playoff game since the Cubs last.
  19. UMFan83
    Not a great first game for Huet
  20. UMFan83
    Same old Hawks. I am giving up my quest to watch more hockey. (j/k)
  21. UMFan83
    That's the problem. You are categorizing him as a 6'1'' guard to justify his statistical rank. Being 6'1'' limits him from being a dominant guard. If he was 6'6'' he'd have multiple All Star appearances right now. Even 6'4'' he'd be a borderline star. As it is, he is a role player who can score points well and do almost everything else average to below average.

    I would list some examples, but I honestly forget which stories are true and which stories were unconfirmed rumors, but lets just say that JR has a unhealthy fear of exceeding the luxury tax. Which is fair, but a lot of teams have had to go over the lux tax to be successful.

    Just to have the chance to go to MSG for either a Rangers or Knicks game would be good enough for me. But you're spoiled I guess. I wish the United Center was built somewhere downtown instead of a place that is essentially devoid of any sort of neighborhood feel. It doesn't have to be trendy or upscale like Wrigleyville, but it would be nice to have some sort of buildup to the game atmosphere. The West Loop is the best option but its still about 1.5 miles from the arena. The free shuttles help though.

    You thought there was a letdown after week 1? I respectfully disagree. I thought the Bears played really well and looked focused in that game. I thought the defense was sloppy, maybe lackadaisical. They came out fired up, but way too confident in their ability to just turn it up whenever it mattered. They had a chance to put Carolina away, and just didn't come up with the plays. Defense a little sloppy, if I remember the game correctly, the offense moved the ball decently in the first half. I agree with you about the fact that the D thinks they can just turn it up whenever. Bend but don't break if you will. Sometimes you have to give a little credit to the other team too, and Carolina was good in the second half. Can't get over those Olsen fumbles though. He holds onto the ball we are 4-1. If the Bears don't go into prevent defense the next week, we are 5-0 and the toast of football.

    I tried to say this was a bad idea and got smacked down for it. We'll see. I'm trying to give him a chance, be the good Bulls fan. It's hard. I don't like him. He'll have to prove it to me with actual wins. I like him. I've read some good quotes about him and his philosophies. Gotta give him some time to adjust to coaching. It might take this team the entire season to get them playing the way he wants it to, or it might click right away on October 28th. There aren't too many Bulls fans that will be demanding a run in the playoffs this year, although if this team is where most think it is, they should be able to grab a playoff spot.
