Multiple OL. The Bears won't be able to get a cover corner. Jimmy Williams could fall with either a bad combine or character issues. He's already slated mid teens down. I've heard a bit about him moving to S, I don't think he's a shut-down corner.

It was kinda vice versa. The defensive backs were leaving so many receivers open, that Delhomme was able to throw quickly, and thus avoiding any pressure that came his way. It was more of Delhomme throwing under the coverage and in a hurry before the pressure arrived (outside of the long passes to Smith). The DL didn't have a great game, and they have definitely helped the secondary with the pressure they put.

Are we sure the broken hand didn't happen before the season started? That would explain a few things. I laughed. Who's in your sig, Raisin? Tony Almeida (played by Carlos Bernard) and his faithful sidekick, the Cubs mug from "24."

His linemen did a dreadful job against the blitz at the end of the game. And I'd love that "wuss" on my team any day of the week. They protect him better than any other team protects their QB and when it breaks down it's time for him to earn his money and step up when it fails and not blame them for the bad game. I do not think that's the way to act for a leader of the team. Florida (SEC), New England and now Pittsburg didn't give Manning 10 seconds to throw like many other teams do and that is the way to beat him. You put him on the Titans and he gets sacked more than Carr. They lost to 3 teams that ran a 3-4 defense. Maybe it's time they devise a better gameplan the next time they face one. For the record, he kept them in that game with sending the punt team back onto the sideline and basically overriding Dungy. And we'll disagree about his protection: it was awful. Its usually pretty good, but it doesn't usually have to be great because he's amazing at getting rid of the football in a timely fashion. But at some point, he's gotta drop the Marino Tag. The thing is, Marino played with a less talented team. Peyton is still quite the baller, but he's going to be 30 soon.

There's a difference between being fired up/excited and cursing out home fans.

Convention "Down on the Farm" Session?
CaliforniaRaisin replied to craig's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I noted that as bs as well...(from whomever said that at the convention..not you, Deuce). Also, Felix Pie having a tough time in winter ball isn't good news no matter how you spin it. Here's to hoping that Pawelek has another great year...where will he be pitching this season? high A? I'd guess low A Peoria. Andy Sisco did not really have that bad a season in his last year in the Cubs system. Interesting justification for not protecting him. Anyone hear of Andy causing problems in KC? Thanks, Deuce! -
And good luck to you as well, Huber. Look forward to a nice back-and-forth conversation during the game on Sunday. None of these Bears fans will care about the game. :wink: Whichever one of us wins is probably going to end up clashing with Jazz a few weeks later :D With the way that Delhomme was running around whopping it up after the game, put me (a Bears fan) firmly on the Seahawks side next weekend. Yeah, me too. I hope the Bears players saw that and were pissed.

But at least Morrisey put the blame on the defense where it belonged, Downey inexplicably blames it on Rex! Come on! The Bears season is over because Steve Smith ripped up our D. Wow.

You've obviously not seen Michael Fey, who masquerades as a C for UCLA.

As long as it includes Ron Turner's baffling playcalling and Ron Riviera's nonexistent scheme, and does not include second guessing Kyle/Rex, let it commence. I honestly don't see how one can second guess Rex given his recovery from the first 25 minutes of the game. Yes, he made some really stupid passes, but does anyone expect Orton to have done better? No. I don't blame Rex. Of the inexperienced QBs that were in the playoffs, can't a case be made that Rex played the best? How many TD drives did Eli Manning mastermind against this Carolina D? And with all those weapons at his disposal? No. After he settled down, Rex gained some decent experience and kept us in the game long after the D had blown it. I blame mostly the non-existent defense in this game. Tillman: can you say suckage? Any chance Tillman gets waived? Is Azuman a better shut-down corner? The secondary should definatley be a off-season area to improve. Build it around Vasher & Harris & the Bears will be fine. No way Tillman gets waived and no, Azumah is not a better CB than Tillman. Tillman had a bad game, but he's better than he showed today. But Tillman definitely isn't a #1 corner, he has to play one though on this team. I don't know if I'd want to build a secondary around Harris.

Thanks. I didn't know that happened and I was pretty busy recently studying for my Series 6 NASD exam. I'll be in Arizona for spring training that weekend of Mar. 17 - 20.

Well said.

Draft a TE (and a FB) who can block too. The FB from Wisconsin and Vernon Davis or Marcedes. I don't care much for WR. One OT, one OG from the draft. One of them has to be a second rounder. Agree with your defensive needs.
-
It was almost like the coaches didn't even know of Smith. Man, I know all were going to hear from Smith is how good he is. It's not just that. They never bothered to make adjustments to put two guys on him. How you can possibly justify putting Chris Thompson on him in single coverage is beyond me. AFTER BURNING A TIMEOUT.

I thought humping the goal post or whatever that was was really lame.

Multiple OL. The Bears won't be able to get a cover corner. My List would be Antwaan Randle El Mercedes Lewis/ Edwin Pope (1 of them) a good nickle-back (I think Vasher can be a #1 CB, and Tillman can be a #2. He sucked today, but from week 5-today he was good.) Secondary depth. I don't think Vasher can be a #1 CB.

No flag?

Who still has hope? :|

SCREEN!

Wow, a defensive stop!? :shock:

Down by 1 score and Turner abandons the run.

Wow, huge doink.
