  1. Instead of bringing back Urlacher from the dead, talk former trainer Rusty Jones out of retirement.
  2. Who wants to start a Costanzo or Greene debate? Anyone want Costanzo? :bye:
  3. Briggs is out 4-6 weeks.
  4. Yeah, I think Emery is all about the draft. I would be shocked if he traded away anything but a 7th rounder for any current player. I know its only a 7th rounder but that trade for Rosario hasn't worked out.
  5. I pray they don't trade another pick, giving up a 6th or higher would be stupid. Id still go after Seymour since it is only financial. If everything went ok, they' d still need 2-3 on the line, one lb, 2 cbs, and ideally 2 safeties. I assume if they play safd, they unfort. keep Peppers, bring Melton back and be content with the front four, bring back JA and be content with the front 7. Dbs, bring back either Jennings or Tillman, with Frye starting and who knows with the safeties. The bad news is that most likely barring a great draft, it'll be just as bad. I hope they don't try and recycle this defense and use injuries as the excuse.
  6. For those who torture themselves, let me know how many on sports talk radio think McCown should be the long-term starter.
  7. Cutler is a must, I'd rather see them go younger on the rest compared to Garza/Slauson. I think you have to bring both LBs back, unless Greene takes huge strides. It's telling when he's behind Costanzo. Everyone not named Bostic has missed reps to due injuries, you don;t bring back one of the 4 and there's nothing there. Agreed on at least one coming back. Given age, I'd prefer Jennings but everything rides on Frey stepping up and being the #2. I don't care if either safety is on this squad, but Conte is hurting them more right now with his inability to play deep.
  8. It should be, given the inability for him to stay healthy. This is probably a fluke injury as well as him being battered by awful O-Lines in the past but the injuries are still regardless of circumstance. To me, this next year will likely be Emery's defining offseason with what is needed to be done defensively. Luckily, there's a higher turnover ratio where the defense can get good quickly but if it takes 2 years, we'll be in the same position just the opposite with an aging offense.
  9. I'm all for bringing Cutler back, odd silver lining is that this reduces his likely demands. With the way the NFL is trending I would also like to see a 3-4 defense, just think it's a long shot as Tucker isn't likely leaving and even if he did, the odds would still go towards a 4-3 scheme. Lose Cutler and you're rebuilding on both sides, not including a regressing special teams.
  10. I feel like any such rumors are just the internet version of UK doing Pee-Wee's "I say we let him go!" schtick. Heh, I think I've been nearly as supportive of Martinez as I have been with Lovullo.
  11. 38-34 Bears. Hopefully they suffer no serious injuries. 5-2 is fine, we'll see after Detroit and Green Bay where they stand. I think they're the worst of the 3, unfortunately.
  12. I wish I was in your division.
  13. RHJP=Pushfrog PeanutPunchers=pitchcs Chemowarriors=Bruno DrunkenDoughnuts=mul21? Others?
  14. Ouch, that sucks. I'm dominating if that makes you feel any better! last week vs. Banedon (Ed Hochuli) was the worst, losing with 47 points you know it isn't your year. I'm 2nd in overall points and still 1-5.
  15. Damn, do I have [expletive] luck in this league. These are overall weekly totals and how I ranked in points. 6th Led league 3rd 4th 2nd 4th Overall 1-5.
  16. Wow, that's quite the optimistic view to take. Philly is 3-3. They are in a similar situation as the Bears with regards to dealing with a new offensive system, but coming from the standpoint of already being capable of playing offense. They could easily be favored against the Bears at home in late December, quite possibly with the division on the line. Washington is favored against the Bears this weekend. I see a path to 5 more losses if they don't beat Washington this week. They could lose both GB games, Washington, Philly and Dallas. If they aren't good enough to beat Washington, they may not be good enough to beat Dallas either. I expect 10-6 or better, but could see 9-7. In the beginning of the year, I had them 9-7, 8-8. They've exceeded those expectations as I see them more 10-6 again. Given what has happened to the defense, I'm pleased with how they've played so far and assume they'd have a far worse record if Lovie was still coach. With that said, it'd be foolish to trade a draft pick for a D-Lineman at this point, unless it was jaw droppingly stupid for the other team.
  17. I was looking at it more from the TO aspect.
  18. Probably system related as he gets the plays in, it is his 1st year in the system (which has been every year minus 1).
  19. He's cost us points on two drives now. Inexcusable. Yes, bring back Lovie so I can remember what clock management is really like as well as his in-game decisions. Who said anything about bringing that moron back? I appreciate what Trestman has done b/c of what Lovie couldn't do well.
  20. He's cost us points on two drives now. Inexcusable. Going for it on the first drive is the right call. Agreed, I thought it was the right move as well. It was ballsy Had them at the 2 against a bad defense, off a turnover, early in the game. It's good to see them aggressive in the beginning. I compare it to bunting in the 1st inning rather than playing for the big inning.
  21. He's cost us points on two drives now. Inexcusable. Going for it on the first drive is the right call. Agreed, I thought it was the right move as well.
  22. He's cost us points on two drives now. Inexcusable. Yes, bring back Lovie so I can remember what clock management is really like as well as his in-game decisions.
  23. Usually up 14 points would be close to putting an 0-5 team out of reach but not this game.
  24. Mostly the fans of teams who have nothing to do with that conference's success I represent that remark this time of year. The success of the SEC does nothing for me (I think the Pac 12 is better overall) except wish that UK played in the Sun Belt (sans WKU).
