  1. For as real as it can be 3 games in, they seem to be real from the little I've watched and lots I've read.
  2. yeah...and those seasons he's talking about collapsed because jay got hurt. and because a 10 win team didn't make the playoffs. Exactly. Year one Jay was legit bad Jay, but the D was down at that time too. Then they went to the NFC Championship and were 7-3 the following year. They were basically as good or better than they were in the years leading up to the SB. Then they still went on to another 10 win season before the coaching changes, aging, and the lack of player development caught up to them.
  3. Lance Briggs still salty about Cutler. Lol.
  4. I think we'd still be playing a lot of close games, which are toss ups. 4-4?
  5. Weird game. Jay looked a little off at times, but by and large played a pretty good game, and Fox's conservatism actually worked out because Howard was a workhorse. Vikings offense being horrible helped too.
  6. Hmm, south suburban kid....
  7. I'm not that surprised. They added a lot of talent.
  8. yessssssssssss Hm. There's so many potentially conflicting things in that short article.
  9. I was just thinking the gold glove needed a utility award so Javy could be recognized.
  10. Yea if I had to guess, Kerry is one of the biggest reasons hes not back in good graces.
  11. Why you ever responded...
  12. Yea not sure they can count in 4-6 from Wade and Jimmy every night, lol, but second chances and FT trips should be their MO, and hopefully Mirotic and McDermott do more. Eta- along with Rondo, the worst 3pt shooting backcourt in the NBA went 9-14 from deep. Our three outside specialists went 1-10. And MCW, career 25% from 3 went 1-1 as well.
  13. this is so ridiculous Fox is a coach, he's built nothing. Hendry had as much power and money as a gm could hope to have. He did what he wanted and failed. It's only like the 43rd most ridiculous thing he's said this week. Btw my irrational love for Cutler makes me want him just dominate the next few weeks even if it causes the Bears to have a worse draft pick My love is rational, and the best thing that could happen is he leaves us with a tanking gift, sealing his fate and Fox's and hopefully throwing us a bone on the way out with our QB of the future (Try not to suck, Kizer!)
  14. Well beyond the obvious fact that he plays 2 positions when healthy-including one of the most demanding, thats really rich coming from an AL team.
  15. So Fox was telling people he was done with Cutler, which I guess is not surprising, but really makes me nervous about next year. It's kind of too early to tell if one of the top QBs interests Pace, or worse, whether the Bears can remain bad enough to be in a spot to get that guy. The idea we could let go of Jay without a "future" in place and just roll with Hoyer or whatever FA we can get is terrifying as far as keeping next year at all interesting.
  16. Don't those stats say Tomlin has a higher % of groundball outs than Kyle? Unless I ran it incorrectly. Isn't this just a function of a higher percentage of his total outs occuring in the field, overall?
  17. Both my grandfathers were Cubs fans, but my mom's dad was really the biggest reason I'm personally a Cubs fan, lots of summer days spent watching WGN and going to pick up baseball cards with him. He passed away a couple years ago now (crazy how it still feels like it wasn't that long ago). But I've definitely thought about him a lot during this post season run. My dad is still with us, and somehow has become a Cubs fan again for the first time since 69 when he gave up on them in 8th grade lol. I wasn't much older for the heaetbreak of 03 and managed to stay committed, so he's much more fairweather than me, but its been fun to have him around watching baseball with me for the first time I can ever remember, especially since my grandpa isn't around to enjoy the games with.
  18. Eh- its not just being hobbled, but just practiced. Obviously being medically cleared is the big step, but i can buy the argument that hitting is more stressful already, particularly the back leg.
