  1. We better. I'm getting sick of watching my teams lose. And once the Hawks are gone, the black hole known as Cubs baseball is going to take full force. I'm not ready yet.
  2. At least Emery obsessively focuses on FILLING a need, gooney. Angelo obsessively focused on IGNORING a need.
  3. I don't think I'd go RB in the top 15 unless it was Peterson or LT.
  4. Hehe If they really wanted one of those guys they could have maybe held back on the punter pick and taken him.
  5. That was smoked, and I don't think Lake knows how close he came to dropping it
  6. *knock on wood* has shark had a significant injury?
  7. Now he's literally mowing them down too
  8. Hawks should appeal the suspension to get it increased.
  9. I liked 3 of the first 5 picks.
  10. Well, I don't know much about him but the few scouting reports I just dug up are practically screaming noodle arm.
  11. Emery loves himself some rope-a-dope
  12. You know, this new draft schedule blows. I feel like I'm able to be more engaged for Saturday -- except now all the real action is over. I know it's not going to go back, but I for one don't like it.
  13. I just can't see that, not with an RB being the BPA target. And an RB who doesn't have any kind of special measurable, and has character issues Edit: whoops, I meant this to be a response to David, sorry So you think it was a need based pick? I'm not in love with taking an RB but I certainly don't think they're incompetent enough to reach on a guy to fill backup RB. I don't know, I'm sure Emery knows a lot more than I do, but what sticks out about Carey that you can't get after the draft? He seems like the kind of back the Packers pick up off the street every year when their RBs go down. I'm just not seeing it.

  15. Don't really like the Carey pick - they probably could have kept their picks and just taken Vereen there. I doubt Carey will provide value over a similar pick later in the draft or UDFA
  16. Thornton was a bigger reach than Ferguson. Other than that, yeah they're doing alright. Packers have drafted only Bahktiari, Cobb, Lacy and Hayward as guys that have contributed well in the last 3 drafts. Yeah, I'm not sure why the Packers have a reputation for drafting well. Just because they have a lot of guys they drafted on the roster doesn't mean they're actually good. Because they won the draft with the Rodgers pick, surely that must have been a Jedi mind trick
  17. Emery said he's not spending a low draft pick on a QB, fwiw. He said its a waste.
  18. Agreed, though I have no problem with the Bears drafting DeAnthony Thomas because he's not a RB in the NFL. WR/punt returner. I wouldn't go quite that far. If the guy has exceptional skills, yeah I'd be OK with it. I would almost always be upset spending a high pick there, though. If they draft one today? Maybe. I don't see much difference between the RBs who will go in rounds 4-7 and UDFA today. Maybe a couple with some special specific skills, but otherwise you might as well use the pick elsewhere. Yea, if that's the case then I agree.
  19. I'm actually a fair bit concerned now. Yes, we've got home ice and I expected the Hawks to lose a game up there. But I didn't expect to see them get plastered on shots, and then see the Wild's goaltending somehow look competent as a result. I don't like seeing them sleepwalk through perfectly good playoff games, and I don't like them giving a downtrodden goalie confidence. Hawks just did both of those things.

  21. Sharp simply can't miss on that break. All he has to do is elevate slightly. He just blew it.
  22. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uG51jUFfRwQ/Tn6M3CmljFI/AAAAAAAAADs/eNLmVMQzRsA/s1600/yoda-you-will-be01.jpg
  23. Like it matters, they won't score anyways They slept on the flight up to Minny, and just never woke up.
  24. I expect he'll set up a special video screen in his living room one day, and just have that playing on an endless loop.
