Harris and Peppers co-causing a sack.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jan 16, 2011 -> 02:22 PM) til that of course Assuming you're referring to that 3rd down conversion slant, that's a hard one to blame the CB's on since it's designed to be so quick.

I know Tillman had that one PI call...but otherwise the Bears corners have been doing a stellar job today. They are right where they ought to be on every pass.

I don't know if I've ever seen a ball downed closer to the end zone.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jan 16, 2011 -> 01:59 PM) Money down. Money decision. Money throw. Give some credit on the play call there too.

This is already the best game of Greg Olsen's season.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jan 16, 2011 -> 01:51 PM) The Peppers effect. If the Bears were playing the Packers, that penalty would just be interpreted as the Bears being lucky again.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jan 16, 2011 -> 01:42 PM) Damn, that's a REAL good price for a guy who has put up a 4.0, 4.6, and 7.4 WAR the last 3 years, and is only 27. I bet the Reds would have liked to sign him for 4 or 5 years, but at less than $13M a year, that's a steal. It's not really a steal, they're just buying out his arbitration years. They might save a million or two overall compared to what he would have gotten if he'd gone to Arb all 3 years.

CHESTER TAYLOR DID SOMETHING!

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jan 16, 2011 -> 01:36 PM) why in the world would you kick to hester. i know he had more TDs in past seasons...but in terms of number of attempts and 25+ yard returns...sure feels like this year was arguably better than those in the past He set the record for punt return average this year.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jan 16, 2011 -> 01:27 PM) Good decision if your punter pins the Bears inside the 5. Bad when you net 25 yards. What about when you net 6?

KNOX DIDN'T DROP A BALL!

4th and less than 1 at the Chicago 40 and you punt?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 16, 2011 -> 01:19 PM) I don't think that's what the play was designed to do, more like that was Olsen's route, and Cutler saw Olsen in single coverage mismatch with no safety over top and decided to go for the throat. Did you notice how Cutler had time to do it?

Clearly Mike Martz is an idiot. 3rd and 2 and you try to put the ball up over the top to the tight end? There's no way the line's going to be able to protect for that long.

I bet you'd feel this stadium if there was an active net of seismometers in the Chicago area.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 16, 2011 -> 12:39 PM) NBA contracts are guaranteed, too. He doesn't need to worry about his "family." lol at him being scared of one of the skinniest white guys on the team. Bosh should never go attempt a dunk, take a charge, run into a screen, go for a rebound, or do anything in the paint because you can get hurt doing all those things. Have some sympathy after all LF. He did take like $15 million less so that he wouldn't have to work as hard and could party more.

That is a F***ing loud stadium.

The good news is...if the Bears get through tomorrow...they're going to have the "Nobody believes in us" chip on their shoulder the whole week.

Good football weather.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 15, 2011 -> 08:28 PM) As thorough as C. Amanpour is, I would have thought someone would have had an idea beforehand of the combustible mix they would be putting together with Fuller and anyone representing the Tea Party or Palin on the same panel. It doesn't sound from the article like the Tea Party activist was on the panel, only an attendee.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 15, 2011 -> 09:40 PM) Yes, Balta, I already read that post. That's what I was responding to. Hmph, first time I read that, your comments weren't there, only the quoted text.

H. Christ, they follow that up with a 17-0 Bulls run to start the 3rd?

Christ, the Bulls fell apart to close that half didn't they?
