Yeah. Not a fun topic to think about, but you might be right. Lovie & crew could be around for the duration, and that could have actually been the plan all along. What about dumping Angleo though. I might be more positive about Lovie sticking around with Martz if I knew a better GM with better personnel judgement was coming in to feed him players. Maybe.

Yeah, but the Noah talk reminds me of what we were saying about Deng when he was going to be included in a deals for superstars. I can't justify being so in love with a Joakim that I would allow it to prevent me from acquiring a proven top flight player like Melo. Even if that move in isolation doesn't make me a title winner. It gets me closer, and helps provide a better foundation to lure the next piece that maybe *DOES* make me a title winner. Joakim -- I still don't know what he's going to ultimately become. What if he plateaus and winds up just a decent complimentary guy? I don't know. I go and get Melo if I can, bottom line.

Berrian makes an awful lot of money to stay hidden in plain sight mostly
-
Yep, advantage Vikes. Also, I hate to say it, but Favre wins. He doesn't need training camp. He doesn't really even need practice. Thank God he's prone to late season meltdowns.
-
What a turnaround, wow. God I hate Favre. But God, that's great football.
-
I'd keep throwing against Minny

I find that people who make broad generalizations about large groups of people are usually more ignorant than the people whom they make such generalizations about. You darn Southerners. :hello:
-
Well, at least nobody will be able to say the Bears couldn't handle being "the hunted" instead of "the hunter."
-
5-11 wouldn't shock me at all. 3-13 sounds a little extreme to me. 9-7 also sounds possible, though not probable. It's wide open, but really only wide open within the realm of mediocrity. Looking at it that way, I would say prepare for some decent highs this season but also a lot of frustration and most likely no football come January in Chicago.
-
I'm alarmed at the apparent lack of preparation as well. Even with the changes, I expected to see a more cohesive unit than that. It's not like they started practicing last week. They've been at it since OTAs, months ago.
-
He was ineligible to play. OJ didn't kill people during his years at USC (that we know of). I'd take it from Bush and give it to no one. If the NCAA acted when this news broke, instead of 5 years later, this would be a much easier resolution. Seems right to me. The delay definitely hurts it.
-
Since when does "likely better than most in the NFC" translate to "possibly in the top 50%" or "a pretty average QB right now"? When he says "likely better than most", he is absolutely saying that Hasselbeck is one of the best QB's in the NFC. Not sure how you can argue in his defense. If I have 100 QB, and I'm saying he's better than most, that could mean better than 51 of the QBs.
-
I guess I'm surprised it's that meaningful to you. It'll be fun to watch for me, but no more significant than most games. Check out his screen name. I get that he's a Michigan fan. But I'm an ND fan and I don't see this game as particularly important. Every loss yields a lower chance of a good bowl game. I don't see how it isn't important.

This might be the first seven-win division champion. And Seattle is awful the same way the Rams were awful last season. Hollowed out roster with zero playmakers on either side of the ball. Wow, that is a huge overstatement on Seattle. They are nowhere near as bad as the Rams last year. You have Trufant, Thomas, Tatpu, Curry all playmakers on the defense. Hasselback is still better than any QB in the division and likely better than most in the NFC What? Yeah...Hasselback may be the best QB in the west, but I think more than half the NFC QB's are better than he is. Brees, Rodgers, Favre, Romo, Manning, McNabb, Ryan, and Cutler are better than Hasselback. Then there's guys like Kolb and Stafford which could be better...it's debatable. But Hasselback isn't bad....he's just not that good either. I'm going to defend hube's quote though. He didn't say Hasselbeck is one of the best QBs in the NFC. He said he's the best in the QB-poor NFC West, and possibly in the top 50% of the NFC. It's really just saying he's probably a pretty average QB right now, but the rest of the division is bad at the position.
-
I suppose all his ailments will be cured by a little change in venue.
-
Well, the point with the Giants being brought up is that you'll never see an article like this generated from the NY-dominated media regarding their beloved team, even though it can easily be argued they share many of the same qualities as the Bears. It's way easier to fire off something ultra-negative about a city 1,500 miles to the West than dirty up your own back yard.
-
Again, difference between not maximizing potential vs. painting them as a "terrible organization." There's a huge gulf between the two.
-
LOL really? Yeah I'll be tuning on to prime time NASCAR right in the middle of conference top-25 play.
-
I think the Bears could be doing more -- there's no question about that. But the stadium is full every weekend win or lose, the checks are being covered, there's a profit margin. It's a conservatively run organization. I definitely feel like they should be doing better, but on the other hand the criticism they've received over this strikes me as a tad over-the-top. They fill up their ballpark, they turn a profit, the value of the team has increased.. Surely that should be mentioned prominently somewhere. I mean, we're not talking about the Jags here.
-
I'll bet they'd rather be showing a CFB game that night. NASCAR is a total dog.
-
They CAN'T lose this weeked to SIU. Not after coming so close against Mizzou, and not to start off the year 0-2 before even starting their conference schedule. They need to figure it out and just get the damn job done.
-
Man. That was a great way to end the opening CFB weekend. Maryland/Navy was even good. Then Boise/VT. It's so great to have football back on the schedule.
-
I usually don't gamble, but a moderate amount of money on the Lions seems like a smart play to me right now.
-
It's becoming the thing to do. Send people down and stroke the ego, kiss the butay, whatever. Buy the guy something and tell him how much you love him, I don't know. Vikes did it with Favre, now the Jets with Revis. Probably other cases out there. Seems silly to me, but then those teams that do it have experienced success with those players, so whatever puts wins up on the board.........that's what gets done.
-
Yeah. It had to be a game I was at, too. I'm happy with where Soto's at right now.
