Well, it's nice to stop the mini-slide, even if it's one night. Also, pretty good night for Illinois sports in general. I'll take it :)
-
Yeah, I had forgotten this game was even happening until I got home from work yesterday. Watched about half of it. Snorefest.
-
Here's hoping this is correct.

I'm not sure how Denver/NE sniffs a total of 51 either.... 30-17? Still 4 Under. You're not sure how a game, which is a rematch of one that just three weeks ago saw 64 points scored, won't sniff 51? Their last game has zero meaning to me regarding this game. Yesterdays output has zero meaning to me regarding this game. If Denver has any chance of keeping this game close they can't give up 30 points. I've been a Denver backer since the Bears game, but I don't think there's any chance in hell Tebow goes into Foxboro and resembles anything that we saw yesterday. Probably not, but NE's defense isn't very good. That should at least buy him some hope of having a good game.

The few reports I read made it sound like Ruskell is just another consideration at this point, so I'll wait before being upset about it.

Castro accused of sexual assault, no charges filed

My dumb late night drunken posts tend to do that. -

Oh my god. It was a drunken post, I was sitting at home having downed a couple too many glasses of wine. I'm sorry I said the original statement. I wasn't driving around drunk. -
What's the point of that though? Why not do it all now when you had the chance with 1/2 of that equation already gone? And I actually like Lovie. I don't want him fired, but there's no reason to intentionally hire a short-term GM. It might give them time to evaluate Ruskell, and might also give them a buffer if they aren't really liking the other candidates who are potentially available right now. That's just a guess, of course.
-
If they went with Ruskell, I hope they do it short term so they can line up the termination of the head coach and GM contracts. Then they can make big changes all at once.

Hahah, you're a funny guy! Wait, there's nothing for Castro to prove. Oh, joke fail. Please tell me your post was a horrible attempt at sarcasm. Gold-digger? It was not sarcasm. But at 10:40pm last night, I'm glad I wasn't rolling into a checkpoint, if you know what I mean. -
I thought the Bears might wait until playoff teams started dropping out -- look at candidates from actual successful franchises.
-
Brad Biggs pointed out this morning on the radio that Holmgren was in Seattle for the bulk of Ruskell's reign, and that it's likely he had a large impact on who was drafted. If that helps you feel better at all. Does it make you feel any better?

The obvious answer is you ride it out until/unless the team goes to a significantly worse record and playoff position. I don't think Q is in any danger this year, regardless. He won a Cup. That buys him time to turn things around, even if it isn't this year. i agree that you wait longer, but the cup is irrelevant at this point. that was 2 years ago. last year i'd say he had a free pass or whatever. the honeymoon is over now. Who really knows, but I disagree. I would be floored if the Hawks dump Q this year unless they completely fall to the bottom of the standings.
-
Well, the Broncos continue to entertain whether it's Tebow, the rest of the team, or the media/fans fixation on Tebow. For that I'm thankful. I thought tonight's game would be a laugher, and instead I got entertaining NFL football.

Prove it, gold-digger woman. Otherwise, he said she said. Shouldn't have gotten so drunk, girl. -
Can he succeed long-term with a substandard ability to throw? I think that's the real question. He's done it short term. Year 2, year 3 -- much different story.
-
from the 50% or so of the game I saw, Taylor was horrid on more than that play.
-
Yeah! You LOSE Pitt!!! Hah!
-
Come on. Try the longest ever.
-
Crap. Please blow something Steelers.
-
Hard to believe there's no way to give Denver the ball on that play. Very clearly a fumble, and would have likely been the final nail in pitt's coffin.
-
This is wonderful. Will twitter crash after the game?

Why? lovie is a perfectly good coach that the current players already respect a great deal. chances are slim we'd find somebody as good or better. this idea of getting rid of him just to get rid of him is dumb. That idea is dumb, but getting rid of Lovie wouldn't be for no reason. It would be to open up more possibilities for GMs who want to be able to shape the team in their own image. It's also true that the team isn't in chaos. We could win next year, actually. If we do, then it becomes pretty difficult to not extend Lovie. Potential GMs can forsee that possibility. It's not like the GM would be coming in with a true option to fire Lovie after a short while. This person needs to mesh with Lovie potentially for the long term, depending on what happens. That's an extra qualification many won't meet.
