  1. After the first drive me hopes were high. After GB's first drive they dropped off quite a bit. And after the half ended I thought they blew their chance to stay in the race. By halftime I was cringing for the inevitable hammer blow.
  2. Cam isn't anywhere near Rodgers' level. I had to look up what he's doing this year. It was kind of surprising to see some of his #'s: pretty good completion percentage. 9 completed throws over 20 yards. Only 3 TD passes though, probably relying on the running game alot down by the goal line. Still though, I'll have to see him beat us like a rag doll like Rodgers did before I believe it. HUGE knock on wood. I wasn't saying he's as good as Rodgers. I was saying that most NFL QBs will pick apart a basic ass zone. Hence, the following sentence about Manuel, who completed 73% of his passes against a Bears D that got very little pass rush and sat in zone coverage all day. If you want to call out Tucker I've saved a spot for you.
  3. Nah he usually stays away for a day or two to sober up.
  4. Ryan Braun 2012, Before Roidal bust: 108 R, 191 H, 36 2B, 41 HR, 112 RBI (2 off his career high), .319 BA, .391 OBP (close to career high), .498 SLG .987 OPS 356 TB (career high) Ignoring 2013... Ryan Braun 2014, After Roidal bust: 68 R, 141 H, 30 2B, 19 HR, 81 RBI (33 off his career high), .266 BA, .324 OBP (career low), .453 SLG (career low), .777 OPS (easily career low) 240 TB (career low) It's a blatant baseball-reference rip job, yes. I just want to make sure it's recorded here somewhere. Suck it Braun.

  6. Without pressure, it was basically 7-on-7 for Rodgers against that zone. The few blitzes called were incredibly predictable and easily picked up. Some creativity was needed. Not even just blitzes. Stunt. Stand a guy up just to throw [expletive] off. Throw some different looks in there. How much was Houston on the interior with a 3rd DE in there? Not that any of the 3 CBs played well, but I would have liked to seen Jennings on Cobb in the slot more and Fuller on Nelson more. Hopefully, they would have won more battles that way and you could have at least forced Rodgers to throw to his 3rd Wr on Frey on the outside. This goes back to January, and I'm really pissed and frustrated right now.
  7. Pretty sure the defense deserves more blame than basically "well, Aaron Rodgers is just too great." The Packers, and Rodgers specifically, have looked VERY vulnerable dating back to last season and the Bears singlehandedly allowed them to look like worldbeaters again. This is true. I know this comment is a few hours old but I couldn't agree more. Of course Rodgers is a great QB everyone knows that. When you put lack of pressure plus a banged up secondary against him it's going to be a catastrophe.
  8. They really do. What's going wrong?
  9. Agreed. It's hurting my enjoyment of football though. I hate feeling like every meaningful play is waiting for the flag. I don't remember it being this bad. And many of these calls are shaky as hell at best, flat-out wrong at worst.
  10. Bears do play Brady and Brees too. Not quite in their prime like Rodgers but if this is the pass rush those will be long days also
  11. Well that's not an INT but why is TO charged? Really? Yes. I can't keep up with all this crap Don't you remember all the controversy with Schwartz and the Lions a few years ago? No, I'm blowing it here. Sorry :)
  12. Why am I still watching?
  13. Well that's not an INT but why is TO charged? Really? Yes. I can't keep up with all this crap
  14. Hell I didn't know? Are you saying these constant rule tweaks should be easy to follow? Because the refs are blowing them every week.
  15. Well that's not an INT but why is TO charged?
  16. So bad I don't have a clue how to fix it. They simply do not know what they are doing out there.
  17. Finally saw what Ryan Braun REALLY is without cheating too.
  18. It was over before that so whatever.
  19. That's got to be miscommunication
  20. You've got to consider: the Packers have struggled on O until now. There will be D injuries all year. This is your 2014 Bears D. OK maybe it's a little better than last year but definitely not to the level of resources they consumed on it
  21. It's been fun, but now it's done
  22. They are always open. Always
  23. This is reality
