QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 23, 2013 -> 10:21 PM) Well I have Morris, Rice and Gore for 2 RB spots and a flex in a ppr. Rather have any of those three since they are more of a sure thing week to week. Meanwhile Roddy White sucks horribly and I desperately need a WR other than Stevie Johnson. What have Rice and Gore shown you so far that leads you to believe Bernard is expendable?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 23, 2013 -> 07:07 PM) Agreed. Still, I don't care. Can't wait for the season to start. When Rose goes off for 35/8/8 and a dunk or two, all will be forgiven.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 23, 2013 -> 04:59 PM) Or not, crazy NFL rule makes it a non defensive touchdown. ROWAND WINS!!!! What was the rule? Was it offensive since it happened on fourth down? I can't think of anything else.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 23, 2013 -> 12:33 PM) Call me crazy, but I'm on Kessel's side. This gigantic 6'8" talentless goon is trying to beat the s*** out of you, what would you do? Stand up and fight him? Hell no. Get the hell away from him anyway you can. Either way, that whole video shows why fighting in hockey needs to go. You don't use your stick as a weapon.

Thought I was dead in water yesterday with Rice and MJD out (I thought he'd be screwed injured up against seattle D), and instead playing D McFadden and McGahee. Surprisingly am only down 19 pts with 3 players tonight (welker, decker, and mcfadden). I'm optimistic. It's amazing considering another mediocre Brady performance, 3 pts from M. Wallace and .9 points from McGahee. Thank you Bears D and Jimmy Graham.

2013-2014 NFL Thread
QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 23, 2013 -> 03:05 PM) The Bears always seem like their record is better than their performance. One reason is turnovers. The other reason is special teams. One thing I liked about Lovie was his dedication to excellence on special teams. Between their kicker, punter, and returners, the Bears are always winning the field position battle. I just hope that the roughing the kicker penalty and blocked PAT are not a sign that the new regime has de-emphasized special teams. I mean, through three games it's safe to say our special teams have noticeably dropped off. That's stuff we rarely saw that we've seen in each game. I find it funny Decamillis came from the Cowboys, b/c it's exactly what it seems. The huge plays are there, but the boneheaded lose you the game plays are there too.

Jennings was on Brown on his end of half touchdown, and Tillman was out most of second half. He had a bad game vs. Green but also was suffering of dehydration in the game after his long int return. I think we will see a hobbled Tillman more often b/c of his age, but a lot of what was driving me crazy last night was poor safety positioning again and Briggs not getting back far enough on dropbacks. He's leaving huge caps on the field. Frey as well. I've been completely unimpressed with Briggs, he had some nice rushes but he had plenty of oppos for them.

Game. Glad we won. Still unsure on this team. 400 yds passing to this Pitt team? Hard to swallow.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Sep 23, 2013 -> 02:50 AM) Defense has been pretty hard to watch thus far under Marc Trestman. Tr secondary is being picked apart by a very average receiving group Just embarrassing zone coverage. Briggs has been bad, our safeties worse, and Frey worst of all.

Just a little more info, Africa is a giant continent with many different countries, and a lot of those countries have been doing very well! http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-rel...l-wealth-wisely In fact, the US indifference to Africa has been a detriment as many euro and asian companies have taken advantage of their growing economies. They indeed have cars, and houses, and are real people! It's amazing!

Massive overnight shooting at Southside Chicago park
QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 20, 2013 -> 09:21 PM) I have a feeling many cities, including Chicago, will soon be war zones with so many random killings. Life is not valued anymore. People will just bring machine guns to places or shot guns and just start firing. This incident is AWFUL. I'm sick of this s***. Why would anybody going to the high school game at Gately Stadium tonight feel confident they'll make it home alive?? I'm so sick of f***ing violence and can anybody dispute my prediction of the warzones in major cities in the future? It's going to keep GETTING WORSE. I agree it's awful and I'm glad someone was actually disturbed by this. But keep in mind that violence has plunged nationwide, especially in cities. As bad as Chicago is right now, it's this noticeable because the coastal cities have done so much better. The rustbelt cities have not seen the population resurgence. I hope things can get better fast, because so many children are dying right now.

Massive overnight shooting at Southside Chicago park
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 20, 2013 -> 07:12 PM) Life in the City of Chicago. Things weren't exactly rosy under Daley, but he was fairly immune from criticism during his reign. Kass was the only one I ever saw take Daley to task. Everyone else was scared, weak, or both. I think in terms of keeping the major functions of the city working, Daley was better. Rahm only seems concerned with taking national political controversies and pummeling them into the local level. I just want someone to get the trains running on time and not have the one major city where crime isn't declining. But I totally disagree with you on that criticism idea. The chicago reader was by far the most ruthless in its assault on Daley. My favorite article I've ever read was in the reader. It started with an anecdote of a domestic abuse incident, and them asking the women why she keeps coming back, and she responds "It's all I know". They immediately pivoted to Daley in the article. It was brilliant.
