    Why would you even admit to that? Why not just say a raccoon darted in front of you? How about because that would be an unnecessary lie? Provided this is the truth, it's really not that bad an explanation. Stupid, but at least it's not him going out and getting wasted and then driving. I was expecting to read "toxicology reports are pending" somewhere in that piece. Good on him for not drinking or texting and saving the pizza! Team nutritionist might want to have some speaks with him later. At least he had something good to eat while waiting for the cops to arrive.

    The 2013 monthly splits for Anthony are what depress me the most. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?id=rizzoan01&year=2013&t=b#month It just heads downhill and never comes back up.

    Should be a good time watching Manziel bitch-slap Bielema's crew.

    Last year Melton was much better. I think the concussion issue really set him back this year.

    Why so you say LB? Granted Anderson and Williams are one year deals, but we're deeper than we've been in years, including with youth. Definitely agree on DL and CB though. You can always use LB bodies though. Special teams takes up a few and given the body type that Emery covets, big fast freaks, LB is easy to take. Also, Briggs is 33 this season. I wouldn't be surprised if he's not on the Bears next season, and would be surprised if he is on the Bears in 2015. They may be deep today, but that depth is easily eroded. True, but if Peppers and his contract are cut, I'd give DE the edge all other things being equal.

    Who will they add as depth now? That could wind up being the bigger blow.

    Not that I don't love Jay for doing it, but that's the throwing shoulder. It would suck if he got injured on a play like that.

    I don't know, without the turnovers it's just horrible wide-open receiver after horrible wide-open receiver. They'll need to blitz. No question. But Tucker has got to have the right strategy with it. If he over-uses it, it could get really ugly.

    Interesting. Not many Lions fans complaining about the "Calvin Johnson" rule today.

    And then they turn to Wright and talk to him about...Cutler running over that dude. When he wins a ring the narrative is going to be how he learned from the NFC Championship and how it taught him how to be a leader and all that [expletive]. I will be too drunk to notice so it won't bother me. I'll DVR all the "human interest" stories and never watch them.

    Focus on the positives: when's the last time you could say the Bears are a legit "4th quarter team?" I don't know if it will last, but in all 3 games this year the Bears have put together some kind of 4th quarter drive to put their opponent away. That's a major shift around here.

    He is going to have to play like an all pro for the rest of the season if the line is going to have any chance minus Melton. With that said, Adam Hoge on Twitter said that Collins has outplayed Melton since training camp anyway. Is that true? Yeah, I don't know about Melton. I'm a huge fan of how he came up through the ranks, performed really well and got a pro bowl bid. But he was pretty much nonexistent in the early going. If he would have become the same player as last year (certainly possible), then he's a loss and we will miss that. But the guy who showed up in games 1-3 can be replaced by pretty much anyone. I hate seeing guys lose a season like that though.

    Mana from heaven. Stick out your hand and there's the ball, TD.
  16. Soul
    Yeah, and plus the obvious PI. I'm still shocked at the number of times a ref is standing there, watching a play at close range, and can't make the right call.

    If Trestman loses this challenge, then shut down the entire NFL. That's a touchdown, period. I don't think it's that clear. How? Is there a bobble? There's dirt coming up on both feet.

    THAT IS A TD.
  20. Soul
    If it happens, this is going to be a bad loss to stomach.
  21. Soul
    That does suck.
  22. Soul
    Frankly, I find it likely Melton's backup would do a better job. But, I hope he's OK.
  23. Soul
    That's so damn lucky.
  24. Soul
    Giving up a double-digit comeback sucks, and isn't something we are used to around here.
  25. Soul
    I guess we are just going to play the rest of the game with Pittsburgh on offense.
