    I don't understand why so many people don't realize that Grabow sucks. I don't care how much the contract is worth, grabow doesn't deserve a multi-year deal. He blows.

    Guys, Cutler and the WRs were both terrible tonight.
  3. 17 Seconds
    Whatever. The defense was great the whole game. They had issues at the end when they had guys like Hillenmeyer on the field. You can't pin this one on the D. And Cutler was screw by his receivers all night long. But how many times do we have to see the defense give it up on the final drive? They did it ALL last season, and they did it again to start this season. When the game is on the line, they always give it up. They play good and then choke at the end

    I think 9-7 is pretty optimistic for this team, especially considering theyre pretty much guaranteed to be 0-2
  5. 17 Seconds
    Hahahah I forgot they go to Pitt next week 0-2 just like that

    Nothing has changed with this team. -A moron for a coach who still doesn't understand how to save timeouts -No wide recievers - Defense that constantly chokes at the end of the game. When the game is on the line, the defense always gives it up _Qb throwing picks all over the place Seriously, nothing has changed. Cutler will be better than what we've had, but it won't really matter.

    could the bears possibly have had a worse first half of the season? seriously, that was embarrassing in pretty much every aspect of the game.

    Lovie isn't calling the plays. That's all Ron Turner. yeah i changed it. i was complaining about him not taking the timeout right away, but i thought it was only 3rd down and not 4th

    WHAT THE [expletive] ARE YOU DOING
  10. 17 Seconds
    oh look another drop
  11. 17 Seconds
    i think cutler would have had the 1st down if he just went straight and didnt try that extra move
  12. 17 Seconds
    the bears are completely falling apart
  13. 17 Seconds
    wait, so cutler sucks now because of a bad first half? He'll be fine, but c'mon people are allowed to gripe when their QB is 6-17 0 TD 3 INT in his 1st half of football after we traded 2 firsts and whatever else for him. I don't even think Rex had a half that bad with the Bears no i'm not defending his play, he's been pathetic. but let's keep this in perspectivce and try to avoid the "cutler is a bust!" stuff I'm pretty sure the people who are saying that don't even mean it and are caught up in emotion. i know

    no. if he fumbled into the endzone before he stepped out it's a touchback aand bears ball

    would have been even better if they didn't trade alderson for sanchez

    The point is that eyeballing a player's defense is an even worse idea. At least something like UZR or Plus/Minus is attempting to add some objectivity to the process of defensive metrics with their advanced analysis of batted ball data. You're right that they aren't perfect, but they're better than nothing, which is what you seem to be using. i'd hardly call watching 95% of a guy's plays at shortstop and then making an opinion "nothing". is it absolutely accurate? no. but calling it nothing and saying some unreliable statistic is superior is kind of ridiculous i think. it's not like i'm basing my opinion of his defense on a handful of plays or anything.
  22. 17 Seconds
    if one were to put some thought into it, one could extrapolate that since team UZR does, in fact, have a positive relationship with lowering ERA, that individual UZR could, in fact, have a similar relationship. like i said, i understand that there is a lot of truth in uzr. i never said there wasn't. i'm saying it's unreliable and shouldn't be used to judge performance by a player and then act like it is definitive at all. according to uzr, derek jeter has become one of the best defensive shortstops in the league the last 2 seasons after being horrible for 3 straight years prior to that. so are the numbers inaccurate, or has jeter suddenly become a great shortstop? i think the former seems more likely.
  23. 17 Seconds
    i understand what the graph is. i've seen you talk in the past about how bad jeter is defensively. so then why has jeter been in the top half of the league in uzr rankings the past 2 seasons?
  24. 17 Seconds
    ignored what? the graphic? i don't see how that says anything about how accurate uzr is for specific single players. i'm not sure i even understand what the point of that graphic is. i never said uzr is always wrong or that there's no truth in it. i said that i don't put any stock into it because of how unreliable it is when you're trying rate players. do you guys believe jeter is a top 5 defender? that's an honest question.

    can't you just put me on ignore and stop talking to me? seriously, you claim to hate me so much, yet you keep saying things to me.
