    They tightened up when it mattered.

    Cripes, they're shredding us.

    Pretty much. This draft class might have some decent WRs available, although I still don't get why Bennett hasn't been given a shot yet. Me either. And I can't say I trust that the Bears are holding him out for the right reasons, whch is frustrating. It's really bizarre how many former Bears WRs have improved since leaving this team. They can't blame it on weather conditions or bad QBing, considering those former Bears WRs have done well on bad weather and bad QB teams. There's no trust there. We pretty much know that they don't understand what a good receiver is, and they've proved it more than once. So Bennett could be pretty good and we'd never even know it. Exhibit A: Mark Bradley

    Details please.

    We do, but quite frankly, at the beginning of this season, I was expecting a 6-10 record at best. A playoff berth would be a pleasant surprise, given my expectations for this team.

    I see Matt Forte is a tough SOB.

    I've always wondered what my sports life would be like if I was born a Masshole.

    I cannot believe how terrible it is out there, and I am just seeing it on TV... and in NON HD. The field's been horrible all season. I don't know what the hell's going on with it, but the field has been an issue in a number of home games this year. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/chi-11-bears-britedec11,0,221021.story It hasn't been much of an issue in past seasons, though. This year it's been particularly bad.

    He's nowhere near as bad as most announcers, especially the ones on Fox.

    Nice stop.

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand there went the justin.tv feed.

    It's really freaking choppy.

    This isn't Hester's day.
  17. Outshined_One
    Hester is dumb.

    The NFL.com feed is not showing the entire game. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
  19. Outshined_One
    ENOUGH WITH THE FLAGS ALREADY. They're picking it up. Good.
  20. Outshined_One
    Oh, do they have a free feed tonight?? Aye.
  21. Outshined_One
    The NFL.com feed is nifty. Alex Brown did good? Seriously? Wow.
  22. Outshined_One
    Except it became pretty clear that they matched up perfectly fine for what SD wanted. If that was the case, there never would have been third and fourth teams dragged into the discussions. I understand Hendry has a budget to meet and everything, but my read on that was that Hendry was trying to get other teams to chip in prospects/players so that Hendry wouldn't have to trade six prospects or something insane like that.
  23. Outshined_One
    Probably just about the last team we would have wanted to take him. Pittsburgh sure does love the lefties with injury histories. Fixed that for you. :D

    I would have loved to have Peavy on this team, but oh well. Sometimes, these things just don't work. The Cubs and Padres never were a good match in the first place in terms of what the Padres were looking for. I can't get upset about it since this deal has been rumored to be enormously complicated from the get-go. Trying to pull off a four team trade with this many players and this much money changing hands is enormously difficult. There will be other opportunities down the road. If Peavy's available at the trade deadline, the Cubs should have a larger and better pool of players to make a trade from thanks to some pretty good pitching they picked up in this year's draft. If not, there will be room for a FA splash.

    Sounds like the same thing.
