Ayo is pretty good... Really looking forward to the Illinois-Michigan matchup in a week and a half.

This IU/Illinois game is one of the least pleasant experiences I've ever had in my life watching basketball

He didn't challenge a play that wasn't a catch earlier in the game. He also then challenged the Hill catch which cost him a timeout. Then after intercepting Henne in the endzone it seemed very clear that they wanted to bleed the clock and have that be the last possession if they could. Played really slow (to where they had to blow another timeout) and was trying to run and throw short passes. Backfired badly. They also won the coin toss and deferred, which had them playing from behind the whole game. A team like the browns that can run the ball that well doesn't want to play from behind.

Stefanski was terrible for the Browns. Wow.

I can assure you that this wasn't the case.

Saban also gave Mel Tucker an assistant coaching job after he was maybe the worst bears DC of my lifetime. So maybe.

Bears 3 dropped picks. I miss Fangio the most because they caught those when he was the coach.

They tried that earlier today... similar results.

Illini shot 23% from 3 and 61% from the line and were still right there at the end. Frustrating game for sure, but not the end of the world. While Ayo was everything for the illini pretty much all game, he was clearly exhausted at the end. He actually cost the Illini in the last few minutes with his unwillingness to give up the ball. I hope he uses this as a learning experience and is more willing to let Curbelo be the ball handler down the stretch (when he's that tired... I've never really seen him gassed like that before). Curbelo has a super bright future.

If Underwood can't get his team up to play Mizzou he should just stop scheduling this game. Clearly Mizzou is just way more up for it every year.

He should send a gift basket to the Bears front office every year for not drafting him and ruining his career.

That timeout call at the 40 yard line made absolutely no sense. My god.

They clearly miss Goldman as they have been worse against the run than they have been in a while. The Bears still were #7 in defensive DVOA going into today (and will likely jump after that performance), so while they miss Goldman the Bears defense is still very, very good.

Four penalties, a blocked punt, another bad punt by O'Donnell that resulted with the colts having it in Bears territory and some bad Patterson returns. Just abysmal.

Kofi coming back also. This should be the best Illini team since the 05 Illini (assuming the season happens). It looks like the Illini hit a home run with Underwood. Funny how some people wanted him fired not even 1.5 years into his tenure.

He should be extremely grateful he wasn’t drafted by the Bears. Who knows how he would be.

I'll take that trade any day of the week.

Who is Rodman on the Warriors? A freakishly strong PF that would hide the deficiencies on the glass and is one of the best defenders ever?

The game would have to adapt to LA Shaq, not vice versa. The Warriors lineup of death wouldn't be able to see the court much against LA Shaq. That's the difference. He would make a team like the Warriors have to play a guy like Bogut and a big backup 30+ minutes per game.

He would have one playoff appearance in 6 years and the franchise would have to draft a new QB. I can't imagine they keep a guy on his last legs to draft for a future he won't be a part of. Anything is possible, because it's the Bears, but they fired Lovie after a 10-6 season that missed the playoffs, I can't imagine they'd keep this guy after yet another season without the playoffs.

I'd be willing to bet a sizable amount that Pace gets fired if they miss the playoffs. Even if they won 8 or 9 games.

Depends on which Ewing. Prime Ewing would without a doubt be the best center in the nba. Unless you count Anthony Davis at center

There are some good ones, but nobody on the level of Shaq. Embiid and Jokic are regularly out of shape and they are just fine today defensively and play a lot in the post offensively. They both can stretch the floor a bit, but embiid is much better in the post and any team giving up jumpers to him will gladly take that,

In what world is Giannis a good shooter?
