    Any particular reason why? When he carried the ball in 2009 he did pretty well and if I remember correctly his blocking is decent. Here's a question. I know his success in the final game came against scrubs but why did Robert Hughes not even make the practice squad? I read an article saying he was the only player eligible for the practice squad who didn't make it. Must have seen something they didn't like considering they added a different RB to their practice squad after cuts. He just seems like a mediocre back in general IMO. I think he's ok when a hole is created (most RBs are) but too many times I saw him take a carry and never emerge past the LOS. There's no real technical reason I've obsereved why, just my personal impression from the few times I saw him, and I was at the game where he had a 72 yard run against the Eagles. BTW, if you take that 72 yard run away from him, the rest of his carries in 09 netted him a 3.5 YPC average, which is ok and much better than Taylor last year but nothing impressive. His longest run in the other 39 carries that year was 11 yards. Wolfe was less than mediocre. No power, far less speed than advertised. Personally, I'd rather see if Bell can develop some worthwhile skills as a depth player than keep a sure dead-ender like Wolfe around.

    That can not be defended. Packers up.

    I have no doubts that Bruce's exemplary work will continue. I can see that the DH wants to capitalize on his production. It's just that......paying for internet sports content is a tough sell.

    Before you get too excited about having our own Ed Werder...this is Josina Anderson: Hell to the yeah! Damn! Yeah. Women like that are God's truly great creation.

    Sorry, not paying for any sports reporter content. Too much free stuff out there, and let's face it: it's just people talking about games.

    Yeah, I think they miss it as well. But I'm holding out hope. I'm concerned. But you know me. I'm always concerned. Right now I'm just damn happy to have football back. I'm just going to take it one week at a time, see where it all leads.

    His hat seems wrong. Isn't that more Capone-esque gangster than western? I agree that Prince is owning that photo.

    My best guess is that he's in the yellow/orange shirt, standing on the stairway. Hideous shirt, whoever that is. Nice work :)

    Funny how everything's great fun when you are a bushel full of games in the lead. Well, good for them.

    Is this the sick result of some art department contest? These rival Oregon's worst. Easily.

    Which validates the problem Lovie & the staff kept having with him. He never showed up ready to go.

    Those can't really be Maryland's helmets.
  13. Soul
    Well, there you go. Listen to your gut, and not those other people!

    I was worried after the Wisconsin blowout last night that we wouldn't get a proper kickoff.

    TCU GOES DOWN!!
  16. Soul
    Eh, should have burned a timeout there.
  17. Soul
    Might be the best Friday night game I've ever seen. One last shot for TCU.

    This is exactly 100% accurate. And the thing is, sure the Bears could wind up bad this year. In that case, someone like this guy will trumpet his incredible prognostication skills. But even if that happens, it's still just a guessing game. I wish people would stop taking these guys seriously, but what can you do? People want to hear banter about football because they are excited about the season. These guys give it to them, even though what they are saying can't possibly be anything more than wild speculation. And you know, even some guys who focus more on the Bears still can't accurately predict what is going to happen. The fact is, football is terribly difficult to predict. It just is, and we see it time & time again.

    Baylor! You be blowin' it!

    Every year it seems there is someone who thinks the Bears will be horrible (usually more than one person). I like it. Please forward this on to Lovie & crew.

    I napped. Woke up, TCU is on the comeback trail. It is indeed good to have college football back.
  22. Soul
    Not too bad a game going on ESPN right now...
  23. Soul
    At least he's saying it won't affect his on the field play. I'll just believe that until shown otherwise. I don't see the Bears entertaining it at the moment, mostly because everyone is trying to ramp up for the start of the season and that's where the focus should be. Now -- I'm not in those offices, I don't know what's being said. But if I was Angelo, I'd just say look, it's not the right time to do this. How about after the season? To me, that's a reasonable position to take. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.

    His timing with this BS is about as good as getting into a car accident on one's wedding day.
  25. Soul
    Of course not. But every year there's surprises, and I wouldn't be surprised if one of those teams doesn't live up to the hype. I do wish we were playing Atl later in the season, when it was colder in Chicago. HOOK OR CROOK. Win this thing. Football is back!
