QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 9, 2009 -> 03:11 PM) Because of the payroll restrictions this team seems to be under, I'll be mildly surprised if Hudson is part of this organization in April. If used correctly in a trade, I have no objections to that either. I'm not sure I follow. I'd be surprised if we did trade Hudson since he is a cheap player and fits into our long-term budget and future. I understand if we trade him for another top prospect or highly thought of player at another position but I don't think that necessarily solves much of anything because its an unproven for an unproven trade. We won't trade Hudson for a proven veteran as 99% of the time that means the club adds payroll and to do that it would mean the club had already traded guys like Paulie/Jenks/Linebrink. So in short, I expect the opposite of what you said to hold true, unless of course Hudson is packaged along with a higher priced player.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Nov 9, 2009 -> 08:19 AM) Sadly, we all know the answer. I really believe Jay Cutler changed the organization and if Jay isn't happy we will here about it. He's too good of a player to sit around and wait for the org to figure it out. I expect swift changes this off-season if we miss the playoffs and I think Lovie knew damn well that his job was on the line this year and thats why he took over as the DC.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Nov 9, 2009 -> 08:10 AM) Lovie is absoultely getting railed on talk radio so far today...rightfully so... His responses were honest about not knowing what is wrong, but at the same time, its a bad thing when you make 5.5M.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 08:14 PM) As much sense trading Alexei makes, it doesn't. Given his salary over the next two years, he is a tremendously valuable asset to this organization, even with the errors. To go along with that, his value isn't as great to a team like the Red Sox, who are in a whole other hemisphere in terms of payroll restrictions. For an Ellsbury and a power arm for the pen it makes a bit more sense, imo. I think there could be some legitimacy to the idea of a Ramirez and Jenks for Ellsbury and a power arm or two.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 11:02 PM) Good post except for this. Crisp is another outfield hack with a very weak arm. He has very good range in the outfield and plays very good defense. He is light-years better than Pods. I'm not saying he's gold glove caliber, but he's a good defensive player.

Overbay would be a nice fit and if the Jays are cutting salary I could see it making sense. I'm not sure if we'd get him for the parties mentioned though.

How big is that 6 point swing from the block field goal looking right now.

QUOTE (G&T @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 11:54 AM) Wow. They just switched NY's coverage from the Bears to the Packers because the game is so bad. They did it out here too.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 11:14 AM) Let's just hope that Cutler can somehow manage to make this game entertaining. To be honest...this is where he'll throw picks. He's palyed great and I'll here how much jay sucks from casual fans and dumbasses alike who don't understand that you have no chance when your down 30...what the f*** else are you supposed to do. We need to go for this. Our only chance of a game is getting this converted...a field goal is stupid.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 11:13 AM) A part of me wonders how Lovie leaves the field tonight with a job. ANd this is at home which makes it far worse, imo. You get embarassed like this at home....you lose your job. Two blowouts in three weeks...not good....not good.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 11:09 AM) the bengals game was worse Total picture yes....but defensively this is worse, imo.

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 11:04 AM) This is my first chance to see the Bears, is the defense really that bad? f*** this, and the special teams coach better review what is a live ball and when to run away. Umm...yes, the D really is this bad. Its one thing if you have one bad game...its another when twice in 3 weeks you get absolutely torched. Troy Aikman on the D: They really really look slow....this is embarassing. I wonder how much longer the game will stay televised for me before it gets switched to another game.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 08:03 AM) It is a great example of what the left wing is trying to do at the federal level. The government can't be all things to all people. Trying to do that is going to lead to a collapse. In Cali all they are doing is blaming the last in a long line of people who have made this mess. This didn't just start. Arnold had no chance. There needs to be an entire fresh start in California.

How did Az not get that ball.

Just imagine if Boldin was playing too. We are one of the worse defenses in football. Arizona has ran on us, thrown on us, they've made it look easy.

Time to see how the D responds.......two plays...two first downs. This is really really bad. Angelo secured his job with the Cutler move but the personell we have aren't looking good and quite frankly it might be both Lovie and JA that could lose there jobs this off-season. I know Lovie has a big contract left, but I'm fine to dump him.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 10:31 AM) the defensive ends on this team are horrendously overrated If we had a special DE, Brown would be fine. Problem is we don't have one. I hope Gaines Adams turns into one casue otherwise we really pissed away a pick.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 10:25 AM) this is the downfield passing we should have been seeing all year from Cutler...hopefully Turner is finally catching on Just looking at the route running from our WR's. THey don't run crisp routes. THey are still lightyears better than what we've had for a couple years but it would be nice if they'd cut there routes short when Jay is getting pressured and did something. Cutler is so so good. That negative play killed the drive.

f*** YES

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 10:19 AM) Exactly what I was thinking... What a selfish move. He's really pissing me off this year. I've been complaining for two years about his idiot self. I also b****ed a lot about Urlacher but realize we miss him.

Beautiful Cutler to Hester.

Has anyone seen the new Boondock Saints movie?

Bears are gonna need to score 30 or so to win this game.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 7, 2009 -> 05:21 PM) Charlie Weis is a horrible football coach. LOL at Mr. Schematic Advantage. I'm so glad ND lost. I want him fired.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 10:08 AM) Tommy Harris ejected on the third play of the game for punching an Arizona lineman who was on the ground. His days are numbered in Chicago...tick tock...tick tock.
