Right below the stat... IDIOT still dont' get it Read it one more time.

ETA: nvm, too slow.

Hahaha yea it'd be a bit late to start now Perhaps PR was the wrong word. Loria has one remaining marketable asset. And who better than Cubs fans to recognize what a superstar hitting towering home runs can do for attendance and merchandise sales? There may also be some slight need to placate Bud Selig by not making a complete and utter mockery of his franchise (if he hasn't already). Superstars hitting towering home runs are much more of a financial engine in Chicago than Miami. The impact for the individual team wouldn't be as big down there, and the same for the impact to the league as a whole. Sammy Sosa hitting 66 Home Runs is much more exciting for MLB if it's happening for the Cubs than it would be for the Marlins. Stanton is massively under appreciated and not very well known by the casual MLB fan base. If he was on the Cubs, he would be one of the biggest and most well known stars in the league.

Because college presidents like to hide behind the cloak of "purity and amateurism" the NCAA provides. I could see the PAC16 being miffed enough about the many, many millions that the NCAA cost them because they were embarrassed that a couple of yahoo sports interns made them look inept. NCAAs 5 year investigation dug up what we alreadfy knew from the yahoo article and that a tennis player made some long distance phone calls. Im sure the PAC wants to get out in front of the Oregon sanctions also. The big 10 I am sure wants to vacate the penalties against penn state and osu that were similiarly heavyhanded. Not that the conferences would blow up the ncaa to lift in-place penalties, but the spectre of the NCAA being able to hand these things out in a Goodellian manner has to bug them more than the cloak of purity makers them comfy. The schools collectively choose the penalties themselves, the NCAA enforces the penalty. The NCAA isn't some power hungry organization that hands out penalties left and right for the hell of it. The schools altogether decide the punishments, idk why some people don't get that.

I definitely overreacted last night, because I keep forgetting there really isn't a team in the league that is a legitimate power house, so you really never know. I just really hated everything about last night, and it was an example of everything I hate about the Bears x1,000,000. Last night really sucked and it pisses me off because our issues won't be fixed until the offseason, meaning another (at least probably) wasted season of Jay's prime and our aging D.

Yeah but GB's D is significantly worse than the Bears' D. It isn't near as good but it hasn't been bad this year... http://footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamdef Yeah I know, it's actually been good. The Bears have just been SO much better than them.

Does it matter? We will lose our first playoff game anyway. At best we win one. This team has no chance of making it to the Super Bowl. That's ridiculous. Not really, this is a theme. Not one week. The issues (on O) that killed us this week have been issues all season and aren't going to change. We aren't winning the Super Bowl and it's about much more than just this game. You are the one who doesn't want to see that. I am usually as blindly optimistic as possible about the Bears, but it's time to accept the reality. All it takes is a playoff berth and 3-4 wins in a row (against varying types and quality of opponents - not necessarily linear) to win a Super Bowl. Nothing about last night changes that. The issues that killed us this week were an elite defense that had been putting up historic levels of performance underperformed massively and Jason Campbell was playing quarterback in an offense that (of the quarterbacks on this team) only Jay Cutler can make look halfway decent. Oh, and they were facing a really really good team while doing these awful things. Calling me delusional is [expletive] laughable. I don't think we're favorites to win anything and I never would've thought that meant much of anything. This is the NFL. All kinds of teams make and win Super Bowls, and it's rarely the best ones. You just need to be good enough to be in the mix. This is fair. I mean you never know, maybe the O gets hot at the right time. I just don't think it's very likely to happen. I think the chance that the negatives overwhelm the positives (on O) is extremely likely at this point.

Said the Packers fans a couple years ago, and the Giants fans last year. Tell me how we are even close to as good as either of those teams were? They both snuck into the playoffs and won the Super Bowl. [expletive] happens. They were also both teams that didn't rely on timely turnovers to win. They were better than this team. Manning and Rodgers are both better than Cutler (Rodgers by a lot) and both teams had/have much better coaching than the Bears.

Lo_Pan_Fan, I am not sure how you can watch games like this and still think Lovie is anything but mediocre at best. He and his staff are overmatched against any decent coaching staff. Only 3 division titles and 3 playoff wins since he was hired. I'm sick of him.

Hester is a pathetic football player. He is too dumb to comprehend.

Yeah, that easy schedule really made them look a hell of a lot better than they really are.

The O-line and coaching are both pathetic. What a joke. We are hopelessly outmatched, strategically, whenever we play a well coached team.

Super bowl? LOL, not a chance.

5, 6, 7 scale is 2-8.

Is it me or does that seem like a massive overpay? Or has he been better than I think the last couple years? 3.7 2.6 5.3 WAR last 3 years

Our defense is awesome. I really hope we don't waste this greatness. ETA: STFU, don't jinx them.

FFS.

We can definitely win this game, but no matter what happens, the most important thing is that Jay can come back asap and be okay.

Jesus Christ. I want Jay back. That was a seriously weak scoring push.

You are a worthless poster. Why do you keep coming back?
