Apparently Crean has been complaining that the refs hurt Indiana in the game yesterday as well as a supposedly pro-Butler crowd. I don't have a link, it was recited to me. Complaining that they got no "50-50 calls"

The only history is that when healthy, John Danks is a good to great pitcher

I have no problem getting into the Sean Payton sweepstakes, I just hope he doesn't cheat in Chicago

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 03:31 PM) One of the details I'm finding to be somewhat interesting today is that it appears the mother of the shooter was one of those survivalist/doomsday prepper types. That's out from a couple sources now, this link is one of htem. That does explain why she'd have an assault-style rifle in the house. paging mr. genius, engage the right-wing nut tracking system

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 03:23 PM) There's no way that Forte is at the point you can save anything by cutting him yet. I realize this, but I'm just saying he is on notice. He has to be able to get in the endzone. He's a big guy, he doesn't get excuses.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 03:22 PM) Cutler-Marshall-Jeffery-(Forte) Briggs-(Peppers)-Tillman-Jennings-Melton Those are the guys that need to stay. The guys in parentheses I don't mind seeing go away, especially given salary. And if we keep those guys, we have a good chance to remain competitive in the next few years

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 03:16 PM) I'm just not going to send my kids to public school. Teachers are spoiled rotten by their unions, they're f***ing terrible at their jobs and they clearly aren't safe. Besides, all public schools really are anymore is indoctrination centers to send kids for a life in the Democratic party (sure as hell dont teach math or science worth a damn anymore). Just forsake our broken public school system and you'll be fine. lol, my public school routinely made me participate in prayer, told me how much trouble we were in because of Obama, how lucky we were to have Bush as President, etc. I can't believe I made it out alive.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 03:17 PM) Jay Cutler has more excuses made for him than anyone else in the NFL. He's not a bad QB, but an elite QB goes into this game and doesn't leave you making excuses. I wonder how many backups we have to play before we realize what a terrible, terrible offense Jerry Angelo has constructed

I've never seen Troy Aikman side with the Bears on anything, and he was clearly disgusted with the referees.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 02:51 PM) Although the rate of these type of mass killings in this country is shooting upwards...the country as a whole is actually getting saver (strangely well correlated with getting lead out of children's brains, btw). I read somewhere that mass shootings peaked in the USA in 1929. I'll try to track down a link. I think the USA is getting better and better, even if we are more efficient at finding and reporting on the bad things.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 03:03 PM) Be nice if he showed up to play against the Packers If you don't have those calls go against Jeffery, his numbers would look pretty decent. We just didn't give him a chance. This always happens with the Bears. I can't think of a thing Jay could have done given his supporting crew + playcalling

Minus the last play, I can't even be mad at Cutler

If I'm Lovie, I can't believe my livelihood is going to be changed by this f***ing referee crew

If this was baseball, you'd protest the game

37 f***ING HELD HIM ALL THE GOD DAMN WAY

TERRIBLE f***ING CALL

lol Hester gets mugged, no call

lol a play can't go by without Rodgers b****ing about no flags

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 02:44 PM) All has to do with the players and front office. The good players have gotten old. Cutler has never had a chance because he's never had an O-Line and it has gotten progressively worse. People wanted to blame Martz, but you can't make Lemonade when all you have is s***. The defense is old and ineffective - that's not on Lovie. It's on the front office or Marinelli moreso. I mean, you guys want to praise Marinelli when the defense got good again, but didn't want to give Lovie the credit. Now you're back to blaming him for it getting old. ST has regressed - Again another FO thing. If the Bears fire Lovie, I guarantee some team will snatch him up right away. Hopefully it's my Cowboys. The defense hasn't been bad. Not today and not this season.

This has been a horribly officiated game. We have benefited from one call, the illegal contact on Jennings on that Jeffrey play. That netted us 5 whole yards.

Awful, awful call

Why did we throw to Forte? Our playcalling is just baffling. If you're going to call a stupid play, at least do it on time.

Our offensive coordinators are f***ing ridiculous. Let's just let Jay call the plays.
