  1. That's how you still play defense even with lots of injuries, Mr Tucker.
  2. 49ers are going to regret wasting these timeouts on nothing.
  3. Then Kap goes & does that. Doh
  4. It's just more media-driven copy - anything that can become a story, does.
  5. Exactly what I thought when I saw that. Can't believe Tampa saw Lovie's tenure in Chicago and thought this would be a good idea. ++ Have no idea why they would do that.
  6. Nah, it's the opposite. None of his 2.5 mill is dead money. He makes perfect sense to cut. If that's the case then you pretty much have to cut him. Hence, no invite to work out w/ BMarsh.
  7. Chris Conte, is that you?
  8. Can't be real
  9. Oh. I wasn't punning. It was my knee jerk reaction to a horse [expletive] touchdown. Haha, I thought you were. Oh don't worry. Plenty of pun-laden headlines coming if the Colts complete the comeback.
  10. Somehow I never looked to see what a horrible 2nd half of the season KC was having
  11. Apparently. There's nothing OK about settling for a FG with the Colts scoring TDs on every drive, getting every bounce.
  12. They fired Chud because it wasn't going to get any better -- and THIS is the answer. I don't feel sorry for Chud. Guy got a golden parachute and a get out of jail free card. He'll do much better away from Cleveland.
  13. Hah
  14. What is spotrac and why would the Bears negotiate a deal that gives them a $22m cap hit this year after talking about how damaging the one year cap hit is for franchise tags? It looks like spotrac is just re-posting overthecap.com info http://www.overthecap.com/cap.php?Name=Jay%20Cutler&Position=QB&Team=Bears
  15. Packers, Indy are sold out. Only Cincy remains.
  16. I'd argue that Shea's problem isn't so much that he's a tweener. It's that he sucks at football. This notion that they're going to somehow shift him around and make him successful that way isn't going to work.
  17. IMO he's done enough to keep his job heading into the offseason programs, starting as a rookie at a tough position from a low round position in the draft. I know Cutler has said that he deserves as much credit as Long for what he did this year.
  18. The best player available should take priority. Defense can be improved with depth. And WR turnover happens quickly. Doesn't seem like Emery is going offense very often in the draft, based on his comments yesterday though. But who knows. It's pretty clear he's more comfortable with his picks on the offensive side.
  19. Nix had knee surgery (I believe). That's the only reason he's below Hageman. People don't really know what to expect from him, but I think he'll be fine. Hageman is intriguing though. Strong as an ox. 6-6 in the middle of the D would be beautiful. But despite being bigger, I think Nix is quicker off the ball. Also allows you to put him at nose if there's a hybrid D or 3-4 D in place. My thoughts exactly. Nix had season-ending knee surgery this year, and the Bears absolutely must hit on these defensive draft picks. I have no idea how Emery will draft at this point, but it seems like a pretty big risk to pick Nix when you already know coming in that he's got a health issue.
  20. Yeah, packers only had 3000 or so left unsold. Won't be a problem for them.
  21. Cause it would be the most recent season. Further gets away from injury the more confident you have to feel about him staying that way. I don't know - I think this is all pretty nonsensical and manufactured. I view Cutler as a tough, durable player as far as QBs go. He's been in danger of injury most of the time he's been here because the Bears didn't provide any kind of reasonable way for him to win football games and still be protected. That's changing now and there's been measurable, substantial progress in that direction. Obviously there's always an injury concern with any big money player, but that's not my primary factor in liking or disliking this deal. But I'm not going to argue with you guys over it all offseason. The deal is done.
  22. Also, concussions are just a huge concern with any player. So every team is concerned about that when they spend big money on a QB, or any other player. It's something that is always taken into consideration. I'm much less concerned about it with Cutler now, because I know that the team finally has a commitment to protecting him on the field. But it's always going to be something that can happen, any time.
