QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 14, 2014 -> 09:04 PM) Because they are not exactly biting on the short routes. Yes, but you're receivers are bigger than their secondary. You throw slant routes and the Bears WRs can block them off. You make a double move. Hitch and go. Seriously, there's slow guys in the league, short guys in the league and they use their skills to their advantage. Throw jump balls. BTW, that was a great catch.

Wow, Cutler going with the Grossman offense. Can't say I'm not entertained. He took a hit though.

Injured Marshall had to come all the way back and take the unnecessary hit. This offense is laughable at this point. I do think the Bears would be better off benching Alshon and Brandon and tell Cutler, he has to trust someone else. As I say that, another overthrow. You can tell Alshon is hurting. All they need to do is slant routes to take advantage of their size and lack of speed.

I prefer the Chromecast to Roku as well and I was huge on the Chromecast. Heck, even my girlfriend's family who are the least technological people I know wanted a few for Christmas because it is so easy to use. Roku still has more apps, but that will change soon. WatchESPN + Showbox + Chromecast = Best device ever.

Conte with 2 INTs so far on the year. Cutler overthrew twice so far this game. Problem with the Bears offense when they don't keep going vertical is what you just saw - Forte gets no room to operate.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 14, 2014 -> 08:31 PM) No discipline in special teams And now you know why Joe DiCamillis was no big loss for the Cowboys. He was always terribly overrated.

Bad call. Thing is, this Bears offense is a fraud seemingly. Rodgers has guys in and out and he still gets the system going. Flynn even made the offense look good. The Bears? Nope. 2 straight weeks when they were supposed to have a high powered offense and it looks like it's powered by a lawn mower. The defense, well you already know they suck. Their line still looks terrible despite having different players. I just don't see any hope for this team.

QUOTE (BaconOnAStick @ Sep 13, 2014 -> 04:06 PM) Just an fyi, there's a decent amount of evidence that the White Sox are the more popular team in the city and Cook Co. Take a look at those fan maps going off Facebook liked and s***. There's of course no doubt Sox Nation is tiny compared to Cubs Nation and that the greater Metro area (a majority of which resides outside Cook County) is Cubs dominated except for Northwest Indiana. So if you have a team that could very well have a superior following to the Chicago freaking Cubs in your immediate environs you don't bolt. You also look at how America is urbanizing and how Bridgeport/Pilsen are increasingly becoming places people want to live... it'd be stupid to leave. The White Sox are already right in the middle of the league in terms of revenue, and they have a lot of growth potential because of their location. I'm guessing a new park in the next 15 years, with talks heating up around the time the US Cellular naming deal runs up. It will still be at 35th and Shields. Disagreed. They got a cookie cutter stadium that was built and is pretty easy to renovate. They just built Bacardi at the Park(whatever they're calling it these days), and the neighborhood is improving(more so, the good areas are slowly expanding). The city also won't let them move, especially considering the Rock Island stop at 35th was built specifically for them. I would personally love them to move along the river just south of Roosevelt and Clark as you can have the skyline, lake and feature the Chicago River which no one has done. Another site I would look at is where they were going to build the Spire just off of the top of my head.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 03:24 PM) What's the better way to get this phone these days, old school 2 year contract or (ATT NEXT) installment plan? (Right now I'm on month to month basis with ATT). Pros / Cons to each? Which one is cheaper, overall ? Not easy to buy a phone these days Sprint released a plan for single iPhone users. $50 flat rate for unlimited talk, text and data. After that, starting with the big iPhone 6, you pay $20 a month. Every two years, you can trade in your old iPhone for a new one. It's exactly like leasing a car. Not bad though if you consistently want a new phone.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 5, 2014 -> 09:37 PM) Apple wields a whole hell of a lot of influence over the way they are covered in the tech media From controlling the narrative on their brand, to punishing journalists/organizations who don't cooperate, to pushing stories that make competitors look bad Sounds about right. Throughout this whole ordeal, no one made a big deal about Apple's security. It was pretty much brushed under the rug.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 7, 2014 -> 03:47 PM) Cutler is a taller Rex Grossman. Lets just all accept it. Never winning with him and an average defense, even with all the talent around him. Also, Tillman you f***ing suck. Conte will get the headline forthat last play, but Tillmam took a terrible angle and let that 5 yard run turn into 40. Tillman looked awful I felt. Jennings looked good. Tillman did take an awful angle on that play, but everyone in Chicago will always blame Conte. The taller Rex Grossman comparison isn't too bad. That makes sense actually. I wonder how it would look if Peyton Manning was running this offense.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Sep 7, 2014 -> 03:47 PM) The problem with staying vertical is their best vertical threat, Alshon Jeffery, missed the 2nd half. Missing him was huge. Teams could then bracket (A gimpy) Marshall and that just left Forte and Bennett to get the load of targets. Brandon is just as good vertically. And your 3rd string and on WRs are best going vertical. This isn't the same Bears WR core of 2000 when Marty Booker was their best healthy WR.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 7, 2014 -> 03:16 PM) Jared Allen MIA all day. But but but, he's better than Peppers!!!

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 7, 2014 -> 03:40 PM) Seriously, the guy didn't even have a pedigree before coming to Chicago. Was with Jax, and Cle before, didn't exactly light the world on fire. That said, This loss is on Jay, can't turn the ball over like that. He could have had at least 4 picks and almost certainly should have 3 at minimum. I would say the loss is on the whole offense. Not just Jay.

I hate how Candace Dupree is great with PHX, but was an underachiever with the Sky.

As a non-fan, I say this one falls on the offense. Two really stupid turnovers in the first half. Ending up with FGs over touchdowns for an offense that even ESPN commented on how supercharged they are. I honestly think they are trying to get too cute with the offense. Stay vertical on the passing game as that'll open up the underneath for Forte and Bennett to go to work. Defensively, they did a lot better than expected. Can't blame the defense when they don't have the horses.

Why can't we get them both again?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 4, 2014 -> 09:18 PM) You're nuts. Gilaspie is not being moved to a corner OF slot. I agree with you, but he's not that nuts. Besides Gillaspie in LF, my only other issue with the lineup is Conor batting 5th instead of 2nd. I would swap Conor and Avi.

QUOTE (TRU @ Sep 4, 2014 -> 09:25 PM) I already feel sick to my stomach watching Harvin get all these touches. I dropped him down my rankings because of the injury concerns but damn, the guy is going to beast if he stays healthy. Problem is, just when you start depending on him, he'll get hurt. In terms of lineup, you shouldn't have regrets Week 1.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 3, 2014 -> 03:42 PM) When you play with people dumb enough not to go Manning at number 1 in a 2 qb league, I guess it's possible. I had the 2nd overall pick finally after always having a bottom 3 pick every year. Usually, my QBs are gone by then. This year, I lucked out. My only concern is if Denver runs away with the division, I know they'll rest Manning. For that reason, I was thinking Rodgers since he should be in a lot of shootouts.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 3, 2014 -> 01:17 PM) all this talk of the terrible Cowboy's D has me wondering, Luck (against Denver) or Kapernick this week? I always say go with your best players to start off the season. Wait for trends. If it was a one week league like on FD, then I would say Kaepernick.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 1, 2014 -> 08:35 AM) It turns out that I do get reasonably close to promised battery life if I use Safari. What browser did you use before? Curious because we are implementing Macs at my job.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 05:38 PM) Next time read before you reply. First, certain software is only available on Windows, so maybe that's why you'd run Parallels or VMware? You're right, Apple hasn't introduced a touch centric OS onto devices that don't support touch, probably because that makes no sense whatsoever? I never said Windows 8 or 8.1 was a bad OS for touch screen devices (and if you actually bothered to read my post you'd have known that), such as the Surface, for which it was actually designed. For THOSE devices, it's a really good OS. And last but not least, I never took a shot for someone using something they enjoy using. You're paying for it, use it. But I absolutely can have the OPINION that Windows 8 sucks, whether you like it or not, and share said opinion when asked...which I was. Seems like I struck a nerve there. The only valuable thing you said in the original post was VMware or fusion. Everything else was you talking about how Windows is the worst so hell love his switch to Mac. Worry about Apples servers being hacked and what you're going to do once you find out your info was compromised.
