  1. I know Chester has to play every minute of every game or Bruce will explode, but for the love of god get the ball out of his hand when we have to drive and get the ball to mccamey. Legion gaining elligibility will help us a ton. Frazier's been about as good as a guy can be without a reliable jump shot this season. His A/TO ratio is something absurd like 7/1. Frazier has not been a problem. Ping, anything further on the Liggins situation? You can keep your slimy Illini paws back for now as hopefully UK doesn't become Illini's outlet mall. :) He's still on the team, obviously played vs. WV and should be starting over Porter. When you're young and immature, used to being the man, everyone is telling that you should be the man, and there's an inferior player starting in frtont of you, you're going to do stupid things. Deal, you guys leave Richmond alone. We'll leave that up to Jereme. :)
  2. Graham did well, the Bears will have an interesting decision at DB with the contract of Vasher, I don't know what the cap hit would be, if there would be one. I don't like either safety, Brown is the team leader and go against the run but neither him or Payne can cover anyone. Manning is a bust except when he is returning kicks. I agree with Hillenmeyer and Davis serving no purpose on this team, although I think Hillenmeyer is better than Roach, neither are starting OLBs.

  4. Completely disagree. The odds that he will have any sort of prolonged success as an amazing returner are extremely low. I think he's lost that step he had and he's not going to get it back. But he's shown enough in his 1.5 as a receiver to make me believe he can keep getting better, and he's going to have much more of an impact there than at returner. I just don't think he has the hands to be a good/great receiver. He might have lost a step, but that could have to do with his hip injury early in the season. I'm hopeful it returns. But even if it does, I don't see that making him some great receiver. In any case, I fear we've seen the best of Hester already... Regardless, he's not going to help the team more as strictly a returner. That's done. He's not a #1, but he could be a tremendous weapon if the Bears actually had a good WR on the other side, and an offensive line that could block for more than 2 seconds. Ok then...choose returning or WR...get him off doing both...:P I guess as a #2 WR he could be ok, but he's getting paid like a #1, isn't he? I don't see Hester becoming anything more than a #3 WR at this point. I agree with your original point of having him concentrate mainly on returning, even if he has lost a step, he still can be one of the better returners in the League just not the greatest of all-time as he was the 1st two years. To me, that's better than force feeding a below avg. WR into a more important role than he's worth based on financial and bad decision making. So basically what we all feared is actually happening. Devin Hester is following Dante Hall's career arc I think so, the odds are much greater that he becomes an above avg. returner if he focuses mostly on that rather than trying to hope he can develop his hands and route running ability to where you can justify throwing to him 5-10 throws a game and not on those idiotic WR screen that never go anywhere.

  6. Did the Bulls ever luck out in the lotto, could you imagine DJ Augustin running the point and how boring and bad the Bulls would be.
  7. Is this for the GB game or this week's? Lovie is a horrible in-game coach.
  8. St. Clair should forfeit this week's paycheck to pay for Allen's upcoming fine.
  9. While I don't listen to the Score often, I will enjoy Buffone and O'Bradovich tomorrow. They're more fun to listen to after a loss than a win.
  10. lots of blame in this one. poor blocking, dropped passes, bad throws, bad tackling, breakdowns in coverage. they even beat us in special teams. i think Forte is the only player that had a good game overall. He still only had just over 20 carries, which is the opposite of what they should do even when behind. Why void your only offensive weapon?
  11. Don't risk injuring Orton, bring in Grossman.
  12. 1) OL 2) WR You know I don't like Tait, but a 2nd rd'er at RT is prob. better for the Bears using that 1st rd'r on a legit #1 WR. Well, it depends on who is available. But with Williams around, I wouldn't complain about not going first round OL. But I want a day 1 G and a day 1 RT. Agreed.
  13. Who's worse Babich or Turner? I don't like either, but I don't know if I could pick my poison. I'm leaning towards Babich being worse just b/c how much they regressed since Rivera left.
  14. 1) OL 2) WR You know I don't like Tait, but a 2nd rd'er at RT is prob. better for the Bears using that 1st rd'r on a legit #1 WR.
  15. 1)WR 2)WR They need a RT more than they need a #2 WR.
  16. How I would list the Bears weaknesses: 1)WR 2)OL 3)S 4)OLB 5)DL
  17. Agreed, I like that they finally have beef in the middle of the defensive line. While watching Minn's DTs dominate, I have refrained from my Lovie system rant about not having a fat guy clog the middle to free up Urlacher.
  18. Like the GB game, it's a combo of both the offense and defense playing poorly.
  19. Roach is not a starting OLB in the NFL.
  20. Harrison has been pretty good so far.
  21. Have to hold them to 3 here.
  22. Horrible throw by Orton.
  23. Please don't run up the middle. I'd kill for a flea-flicker. Raisin, there's about 2 inches of fresh snow since about noon.
  24. Agreed, I don't see any of these teams being able to win on the road in the playoffs.
  25. aaron rodgers? Forte?
