Whew. I was worried for awhile. Unless Sanchez can throw the Jets back in it, we are guaranteed a great Super Bowl matchup. Either Manning/Favre or Manning/Brees will make this a matchup to remember.
-
Wayne was incredibly lucky on that fumble
-
Hopefully that's it for NY. You gave a good fight, but now it's time to go home.
-
Rare is the game when the Colts are this stifled on offense. This Jets D is very good.
-
Colts better wake up or they're going to lose.
-
Colts totally caught off guard. Wow
-
Every time they can't get it in, that's a battle won by the Jets
-
We dat No, please no.

We won't play another home game for awhile yet. I feel like this team is becoming a little road-weary. But they still need to plow through a few more games before they can come home. This is a tough stretch.
-
Well now. These past 2 games have been quite the pleasant surprise.
-
Man, Rose is just getting better and better.

If I've got Denzel, no way in hell am I mentioning Adam Sandler and Ray Romano over him.
-
I posted the funeral details, then completely forgot about it. DOH.
-
LOL, wow.

Me either, he's loyal to a fault. His high school firends are still all around him, one's his agent. He got another one a job with Calipari. I think he stays. Paxson can just offer to move them all into nice houses in Chicago. Problem solved, LeBron's a Bull. :pig:

Z, Dempster, Wells, Sheets and Gorzo come April. 8-) -
Seriously. He's as good as we're going to get, and it would probably be viewed as an acceptable hire by most in Chicago. Sign him up.
-
Yeah, that's pretty cool.

OK. Hopefully only for a month or two, then Wells can jump down. I could live with that. -
I would be happy with this hire. Given the set of circumstances.
-
Maybe they can start holding a raffle to fill out the rosters: "Enter for your chance to strap up and PLAY WITH THE PROS!" Oh, yeah. Must see TV.

That may have been the words he used to describe it, but Cleveland ranked 16th in both pass attempts and rush attempts in 2007, not exactly an overly run happy team. And he was working with a completely unestablished Derek Anderson and a recently signed 28 year old Jamal Lewis. He's also been in San Diego with a pass oriented team. It seems to me that he would be a guy who runs a balanced attack, but when he throws, he throws down the field, and not a bunch of dink and dunk WR screens. I would be leary because I don't know much about him, and I worry about Lovie's "off the bus running" nonsense getting in the way. But it would seem to me this guy could get the most out of Cutler. Yeah, I was going to say the same thing: he can describe it however he wants, but what I've seen from his stints in both those places, he's certainly willing to throw.

I hope so as well, unfortunately hope is all we got. It's tough enough to a get a good performing prospect to translate into good performance in the majors, but it's really tough to turn an underperformer into a good one, and I don't like the idea of hoping for that to be a key for your season. Why would hoping for Samardzija to be a good 5th starter be "a key" for the Cubs season? I think you misread his post. He was saying he hoped Samardjiza would have a good year, not that he had to have a good year. I don't think he misread it at all. With Lilly out for the first month of the season at least the Cubs are going to need the back end of their rotation to be good. I don't feel confident that Wells will continue to pitch as well as he did last year. Gorzelanny is a capable #5 starter but he will probably be the #4 starter. The other options for the #5 slot haven't had any real MLB success except for Silva. If Silva wins the #5 spot the Cubs are likely in very big trouble. So yes, the Cubs do need Smardz to pitch well or they could find themselves in a deep hole at the end of April. Surely Wells can at least be our viable #5 starter in that scenario.
