    Wow dammit. And Tait's out now too.
  2. Soul
    Now I'm begging Lovie. PLAY BENSON.
  3. Soul
    DO THAT MORE REX, YEAH!
  4. Soul
    It was a fair call. All you have to do to avoid it is not be a moron No. It was an garbage call. Break up the players and give them a warning. Jones did stuff after the ref tried to break them up. the defender istigated as well. I tune it to watch the players play, not the refs. Refs are there for a reason. If a player is stupid enough to push someone violently, he's going to get a penalty. That's football 101. Apparently TJ needs some classwork.
  5. Soul
    Don't know what game you're watching. That was totally the right and easy call to make. TJ was a complete frigging idiot in that instance. Seconded. TJ was totally at fault there.
  6. Soul
    Way to help your QB TJ. Come on, it's time for 100% Benson. I'm sick of this crap.

    first throw coming up

    Heard that as well. Right when he mentioned Chicago going through tough times I knew he was going to mention Bartman. Kornheiser's knowledge of Chicago is limited to what he has seen on nationally televised games. He's such a dork.

    Well, since the news leaked out, Griese goes ahead and confirms he took 50% of the snaps.

    Rams are much better than the 9ers. I've only really felt we would lose to the Pats and that was close. Tonight though, the injuries, the same turf Rex got hurt on before... Huh? If the Bears win tonight, the Niners have the same record as the Rams. I'm not sure how the Rams are "much better". I still think they are, but yeah the records don't show it.
  11. Soul
    Those last 3 games should be very easy, true. If Vasher comes back strong, we should theoretically be able to beat up on those teams even with Harris out.

    So the Bears have tie-breakers over New Orleans? I didn't think that was the case. WE HAVE NO CONFERENCE LOSSES HOW CAN WE NOT? If we don't get HFA, its our own fault; Bears' [8-0 in NFC] remaining schedule strength; (@STL 5-7, TB 3-10, @DET 2-11, & GB 5-8 = 15-36 [10-29 after tonight]) Saints' [8-1 in NFC] remaining schedule strength; (WAS 4-9, @NYG 7-6, & CAR 6-7 = 17-22) Yes, but look at the way each team is playing and the injury situation. HFA is far, far from assured. We would need to win 3/4. If we lose tonight, we will need to win out to secure it. If the Bears win tonight HFA is done. No way they lose 2 of 3 to Tampa, Detroit, and GB. If they lose tonight, I'll start to get worried about locking up the #1 seed. I almost want it to come down to winning the last game. That way we don't "rest" everyone for the playoffs and we also don't sit our team and let Green Bay beat us. How sure are you that we will win tonight?

I'm just saying.

    Ouch. I've had food poisoning before. NO FUN. And that's for real. Steven Jackson: when are you guys going to accept he's a criminal and cut him loose? Alright---he can shoot the basketball. There are others who can do that without the rap sheet.
  17. Soul
    Who are we going to play in nickel situations? Hester? I heard Hillenmeyer might do it too. I don't think it will be very difficult for the Rams to get favorable matchups for their WRs.
  18. Soul
    And notice who was absent.
  19. Soul
    I think this is just a crushing, crushing loss. But, Big Slick gets mad at me when I'm too negative, so I'll lay off :wink:
  20. Soul
    yeah, but he's much more patient. I do like Brady---he's gritty and comes to play every day. His defense looked to me to be very good. But as the SLG indicates, he's a singles hitter
  21. Soul
    Closer is the last thing we need. Wuertz or Woody will make great closers. Take your pick. Dempster moves to middle relief.
  22. Soul
    Yes. But it is not the only predictor. Some of the posts on how much Marquis sucks are getting rather absolute. Plus, Marquis has had some success in his fairly recent past. That doesn't mean I'm a fan of this signing. I'm not. I'm weary. I feel that going a different direction, I'm not sure which direction exactly at the moment, but not Marquis would have been wiser, certainly for the money involved. I'll feel a lot better about it if all the years aren't guaranteed. Unfortunately, the ONLY predictor of the future is past performance. I say unfortunately because even the past doesn't always accurately tell us what will happen. Guys sometimes click even though their past stats say they won't. Some guys do exactly what the stats would say they will, and then some take a nose dive for no reason, or outperform their projections, yada yada. Based on Marquis' past, I'm thinking he's going to continue to be real inconsistant. Which would make him a pretty frustrating player to watch and root for. Larry says "I found the key, we can fix him." Well I sure hope so.

    So they aren't even mentioning Church anymore? That sucks. Brady Clark's accomplishments as a major leaguer: .278 .358 .389 And his better years seem to be behind him, since he's trending downward. Amazingly enough, he's already 33 years old---34 in April of next year. Last year: .263 .348 .335 He hits for pretty much no power. I've watched him field as a Brewer for a few years, he's pretty good defensively from what I witnessed.
  24. Soul
    This is true. No doubt we can accomplish that much with ease. However, HFA might require as much as 3 of our last 4, depending on what NO does, since one more loss would tie them with us in conference records. Needless to say being the #1 seed gives us the weaker of the two opponents who come out of the 1st round. Assuming it's Seattle and Dallas coming out (a big if), I'm not sure which one I consider to be "weaker." It sort of depends on the matchup.
  25. Soul
    I think that is true. A disastrous 1st half means Griese. And uneventful first half means more Rex. I agree. I think you're all simplifying it too much. If Rex has an uneventful first half, but no points are scored and we're down 0-14? I think you see Griese. I don't think this whole thing is keyed off turnovers. Rex must move the offense and put points up, especially if St. Louis can score.
