  1. I'm okay with moral victories.
  2. Damnit. Not the matchup I would have liked there. Why?
  3. I think he's just as fast as forte. However, Forte stayed healthy by knowing when to get those cleats up. It also caused him to go down ar the slightest touch. As current Forte or young Forte? Young Forte was definitely faster. Howard definitely doesn't have break away speed, but hes fast in other ways it seems.
  4. You mean a true emergency or a backup? Barkley is active and the backup.
  5. I wasn't going to leap to better than White because of sample size for each, but it does highlight the one if the primary issues with the White pick - value. Hoyer is not going to be the next Rich [expletive] Gannon, I feel pretty comfortable about that. Im not sure, his throws are pretty good and very steady. He's not managing games. Rich Gannon is like the only example of the prototype I can think of ever. Hoyer's always had his moments, but hell get exposed as a fringey starter if he gets chances against better Ds,
  6. Better than White. Hoyer looking good. Be our Rich Gannon. I wasn't going to leap to better than White because of sample size for each, but it does highlight the one if the primary issues with the White pick - value. Hoyer is not going to be the next Rich horsefeathering Gannon, I feel pretty comfortable about that.
  7. Meredith looking... pretty good.
  8. I think it was Ernie Johnson talking the other night about a play similar to Javy's reversed call. He doesn't think temporary disconnect with the base should be reversed. Yes in the case of an over-slide or overrunning the base. But replay review was not really meant to correct calls like the Javy slide. I actually agree with him. I don't know. Seems silly not to use it for that purpose as long as its there. Its not like its subjective, ie the neighborhood play.
  9. Christopher Columbus coming through big time. I have the day off. NBD. Does that give you Tuesday off or something? Doh.
  10. Christopher Columbus coming through big time. I have the day off. NBD.
  11. that was discussed in a thread somewhere here at some point this season I missed that one. Is it an unassuming WAlking Dead reference to that carl? http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/08/03/cubs-call-kyle-hendricks-karl-for-some-reason-that-doesnt-make-sense-except-theyre-the-cubs/
  12. Hope its southwest and you can stream maybe? If not, change flights to the morning lol.
  13. Sounds like White will be out a while.
  14. Kind of interesting as hes a nickel.
  15. Well you dont throw smart stats at meatballs. For further clarity you can throw Hoyers avg ppg as a starter 20.56, which is a decent proxy to tell us that Cutler leads about average offenses and Hoyer leads below average offenses, which aligns with the assesment of their career individual offensive stats.
  16. If you haven't already, you may see this as the meatball rallying cry for our new QB controversey. 300-yard, 2-TD, 0-INT games with Bears: Jay Cutler: 2 in 99 starts Brian Hoyer: 2 in 2 starts Don't get sucked in. For convenience you can reply with this stat; Avg points/game as Bears starter Cutler - 22.8 Hoyer - 17 (Cutler's number is almost exactly league average. That's important in showing how little our Hoyer led offense actually has done).
  17. The offense played a bad D and didn't make mistakes. Thats all I can really commit to as fact at this point.
  18. Thats a really weird metric to use. As if Hoyer has a non zero effect on our inability to win...
  19. Porter had a week one pick.
