Hahahhahahhhh. Oh my lord that is awesome. New favorite coach!
-
I'm going the other way. The mccaskeys are obstinate, stubborn, prone to inaction. I think they look for any reason to do nothing. 6-10 might net Angelo/lovie a pass. 7-9 certainly does. They should have done this last year; the fact that they didn't speaks very loudly.
-
I'm not sure what I want anymore. Except that I know I want a coach with a quicker wit and a fresh approach. And a GM with just....better abilities as a GM.
-
Angelo's not going to change his mind about this. He seems willing to go down with the ship based on his erroneous view that talent on the OLine does not matter. Fine then. Simply oblige the man. This feels a lot like Jauron going down with Shoop. At some point, if the guy just won't get it and it's killing team performance, you've got to make that move. Labor dispute and outstanding salary owed -? To hell with that, you've got a broken arrow @ GM and need to do something about it.
-
That was the one phrase that stuck out to me, too. Other than that, he's picking the Cubs to be around 85 losses, which is where we finished this year. Picking a team to finish where they did the year before is typical media prediction blah blah.

It's his deal. Back to the officiating that was just horrendous all game. They didn't call a hold all game, right? At most it was one. They blew the TD to Quarless but Childress still blew it by not challenging it when he should have. The back judge was standing 5 feet from Percy in the end zone and he wasn't even close to getting his right foot down. It was just terrible all around. The officiating was bad, but it wasn't any worse than the calls in the Dallas-Minnesota game. The only difference is this time the calls went against the Vikings rather than for them. Regardless of who it goes against, if the refs are going to display this level of incompetence then the NFL needs to increase the number of available challenges.

No, I'm not surprised. But at the same time and related to your other point I have to think that decision led to some major disappointment by the players. How much faith can Cutler have in his coaches if they are getting him killed and not reviewing touchdowns he scored that were called fumbles? If Lovie isn't doing everything he can to win games, and if he is in fact directly costing them points, players have to be irate. They probably won't say anything because they generally like how Lovie treats them in relation to how other coaches treat them, but my god, I would be livid with the head coach if he was making those decisions in a game I was playing. I don't remember -- did Jay signal touchdown at all? I don't remember if he realized he had gotten in or not. I will say this: the network sure didn't make all haste to get the right angle up on the TV screen.

I'm really just numb from that whole goal line thing. After that, I think I just started laughing every time something happened in that game. It was no longer so much a football game as it was an inevitable march towards absurdity. There was so much wrong with that sequence my brain is overloaded from it all. Of course it wound up being the point difference that cost us the game, too. Obviously that's what happens after something like that. But then again, let's be fair: after retaining Lovie & Angelo back in January, we all pretty much knew late October we'd be sitting here wallowing in the badness of it all. So it's not like I'm surprised.

There's awful refs all over this league. It remains a huge problem.
-
I have a hard time being logical about losses for a few days...so I admit, I'm probably overreacting. But still... I'm still livid with our mental midget head coach for not challenging that TD. If you're going to be that stupid, don't be so damn stubborn about it. But I guess that goes along with being that stupid in the first place. And also it needs to be mentioned -- we've got a ref right on the damn goal line. Why is it we aren't getting the correct call from the ref so often in this league? That's a clear damn touchdown. The ref is positioned right on the goal line to make that call. Are these guys sleeping through the game? That's an easy call to make. What the eff is going on in this league. That's just base incompetence, I'm sorry. But that's what it is.
-
We win that game yesterday if Lovie simply challenges the damn QB sneak. That goes down as a Cutler turnover, and I've even heard some morons criticizing Cutler for reaching the ball out! Argh. That is what grieves me the most. All these other mistakes and bad decisions, yes they happened. Still, we scored 21 points yesterday, but the scoreboard only shows 14 of them.
-
Whaa? Who ya throwing it to?
-
Hahahaaaaaah. Why not keep running?
-
They must follow through on the league mandate. That one falls under the heading unwritten rules. Let them hold. Keeps qbs off the injured lists and ratings higher.
-
Vikes' d line shuts it down. That was pretty big.
-
Don't they control their own destiny at this point? Win out and they win the division? edit: yes, win out and they'll be ahead of the bears and packers if both win all their non-viking games Yes, they dug themselves a hole but it's not that deep.
-
Lol, he's listening.
-
Yep, I do believe it's valid to ask if Favre's tank might finally have run dry.
-
Can't help it; that was enjoyable.
-
Allen looks nowhere close to the player from past seasons
-
That ankle has got to be howling.
-
Sitting here right now, I can't remember how we got 4 wins. Can't believe it. And can't remember it. The Bears have lobotomized me.
-
The sports talk in Chicago is going to be fun next week.
-
Maybe it'll get so bad that Angelo & Lovie will just walk away.
-
.....aaaaaand there it is, right on cue.
