FIRE ALL TRAINERS.

MUUUURDERRRRR Holy moley, he actually said that.

I know. We aren't getting lucky with injuries this year, on either side of the ball. This sucks, it's game 3.

Would have thought Denver won the game reading all these posts

Stop saying that it makes me feel bad

Could not be a more Lions-like injury. Now GB puts it together on O. Get ready for a long day DET detroit is better and is at home i think you have the wrong team it's going to be a long day for OK maybe not a long day but DET sure does like to shoot their own foot, don't they.

I mean, you put Lacy in the backfield on the 1 yard line it's a good bet he's coming off tackle

Lol stafford

He was welcome back in CHI as a solid backup, right? Yeah I feel a little bad for him. But not too much.

Ohhhh Lovie Lovie Lovie...

Allred is making the case that this is nothing new, and that Goodell has always been light on the punishments for this type of behavior. She's trying to say that Goodell doesn't care and never has cared about violence towards women. Therefore, he should resign.

yup. especially the one to end the first half iirc On that drive I think twice they kept the Bears alive on 3rd down.

I saw a budding superstar Sunday night. Let's stick with that until proven otherwise.

Barring a disaster the Eagles are about to complete a Bears-type comeback win

One last comment on this game -- then it's time to move on. If anyone would like a good chuckle this afternoon, go and watch the Harbaugh post-game presser.

Fuller did more shouldering than they did. Sure, so his rank makes sense. Cutler had 4 TD passes and 0 INTs. I'm just going to think more of him than PFF does in that case. And that's a flaw in those traditional numbers and the way you're attempting to evaluate them, IMO. Yeah. I just know how hard it is for a lot of QBs to put it in the end zone. Especially in Bears' history. When I see a Bear QB just dealing the TDs I put an awful lot of value on that.

So it's a little better than the eye test. I don't knock them for the attempt at putting this together. I just think, like every other attempt, it's not going to really be foolproof. So it needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Part of my response is that I think we are putting a little too much stock in it around here... It is basically the eye test. It's just a recorded on every play version of the eye test. When it comes to football, that makes more sense than a lot of football stats that can be impacted hugely by teammates/scheme and football stuff in general. I buy into boiling it to down to numbers for entire teams (like team DVOA on offense, defense, special teams) but I think for individual players those types of systems are highly flawed (i.e. Cutler's individual DVOA would suffer because of the talent and scheme around him). PFF grading each individual's performance on each play at least boils it down to the individual, even if it is really just attempting to objectively measure the subjective (and i'm sure it's still impacted by those other contextual factors...just seemingly less so). Hope that sort of made sense. I'm not even sure if it does to me. Yeah, I think it does make sense. I'm not saying I don't look at them at all. I do, but over time I'm starting to look at some of these grades and disagree a little more.

you got a mouse in your pocket? I don't get it.

Cutler's makes sense just fine. It's not like he was slinging the ball around and creating points all game. He picked it up in the second half, completed some shorter to midrange throws and was dealt a couple of short fields and made the most of it. You shouldn't pay much attention to a guy like Perry who is in for 4-5 plays total. Cutler and Marshall loaded the team up on their shoulders and won that game from 17 points down. If that only gets him a .8, then I'm not going to put a whole lot into that system.

jw which ones you're taking issue with the only one that seemed off to me based on the eye test was allen but they probably know better than me Cutler, Bennett (maybe blocking issues?), and Allen. Had issues with last week too, but I'm not going back to look a that. Perry is a complete dog. How is he only -.01? Also don't understand the Cutler grade. Or Bennett. There are probably others but generally I'm in agreement with Banedon. I don't understand the grading system they are using, and I don't understand why anyone should prefer it over any other system. It feels completely -- or significantly -- arbitrary.

She looks like she simply doesn't know any better. Oblivious to all reality.

I love the picture in your sig.
