Who needs a QB?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 29, 2013 -> 06:10 PM) Did you hear a whistle? It's absolutely basic football to continue playing until you hear the whistle. And again, let's all forget how many of these guys were coached by that God Among Men, Lovie Smith. This is why I said it felt to me more like something to be pinned on team leaders or HC. Blowing that play is a failure of team culture.

Another great series by the D. Tucker has stepped up IMO

Other than that play, this has been the best the defense has looked. I've been feeling like Tucker really had the game planned perfectly

Looks like ballgame for me. This team's playing like they don't give a s*** now

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Dec 29, 2013 -> 05:42 PM) Dude that is all coaching. The ball is ALWAYS LIVE. The Lovie Bears would always pick up incomplete passes, theyd do anything to end the play holding the football even if it was iinconsequential. Seems like playing hard is an issue that concerns the HC and captains more than coordinators, but it is obviously reasonable to implicate Tucker

I suppose. Seems like a non-schematic issue and I'm just as likely to blame the HC for the entire defense looking so unenthused as I am anybody else

Hard for me to blame Mel Tucker for his guys not knowing what fumbles are. I want to see new faces on defense next year, starting with our captain 55

I love seeing Briggs standing right next to the entire thing with his hands on his hips

Immediately I shouted to lay on it. Unacceptable. I am absolutely disgusted by this team sometimes

IDIOTS

That's 3 free points for GB

Mike Pereira ‏@MikePereira 2h i didn't think that was enough for a foul in CHI -- didn't lead with shoulder, helmet

The Aaron Rodgers protection squad releases their yellow flags

Great pass protection, bad throw on 3rd down

There's a "rusty" play from Rodgers -- Quarless didn't want to bring his defender in front of the next level's route but Rodgers wasn't thinking that way

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 29, 2013 -> 04:38 PM) They should have gone for the first down. It's not like the field position for the Packers would have been great. Considering the review shows us that they could pin the Packers to the 1, it's hard for me to get mad about it

In this cold, I bet kicking is going to be brutal

Jobbed by officials tally = one

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 29, 2013 -> 03:54 AM) 13 HBP, 59 Wild pitches and 128 walks in 42 pro innings. Oh my f***ing god. In his last inning ever he walked 12 batters, hit 3 of them, threw 9 wild pitches, and allowed 12 ER. LOL, where the f*** was his manager? Because that last inning spanned 5 games, lmao

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 26, 2013 -> 08:31 AM) The same can be said about any roster. I bet it's rare that all 25 guys on a baseball team like each other, just like in any other work setting, there's bound to be somebody that grinds your gears. It's not so much that I would be dissuaded by the thought that they aren't all going to be buddies -- it is just often floated that the presence of many Cubans on the roster should be interpreted as a reason to continue going after them, which may not actually be a good reason to justify further pursuit of Cuban players

Didn't take long for the cream to rise there. UIC will end up scoring fewer than 20 points in the entire second half

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 28, 2013 -> 09:06 AM) After watching Simeon the past 3 days, Illinois should take away DJ Williams scholarship and give it to Ed Morrow. That kid is legit. You been in Pontiac?

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Dec 27, 2013 -> 12:40 AM) Anyone have a Slingbox? Any advice? We just finally got my parents' set up after buying a PRO-HD four years ago. Trying to get it to work became an annual Christmas tradition and it finally worked out. I can use it to stream Chicago sports to my Roku when I'm back at home, far from Chicago TV market. Had to buy a god damned 15 dollar Android app to do it though, because apparently developing a self-sufficient app for Roku was too hard.

I would honestly and truly take all of the non-Cutler Bears skill guys mentioned over the non-Rodgers Packers skill guys. About 10 or 12 weeks ago, I would have taken Jordy Nelson over Alshon. Lacy is pretty exciting, but he's no Matt Forte. Maybe if we were factoring salary into the equation, we'd have an argument for him.
