QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 06:53 PM) The Raid 2 is even better action (almost non-stop), although the plot's (and who goes for the story to this type of movie?) more compelling the first time around. It is just an assault on your senses. I love how Gareth Evans directs the big fight scenes, Like the scene in the kitchen and in the first movie the scene with Rama and his brother vs the little mad dog. So brutal And to your How to Train your Dragon comment, I am very much looking forward to the third movie. The 3d is so well done

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 01:11 PM) I understand but Trestman inherited what was viewed by most pundits as a potential playoff team. That Bears team was 10-6 and didn't make the playoffs due to Cutlers injury (largely). I think that context is important because we reportedly (and I still have never heard anything that has stated otherwise) had our pick of any of the coaches from that class. I agree defense struggled more and while I'll blame injuries and personell for some of it, I also have heard too many people say our schemes are weak under Tucker. In football, more than any other sport, coaching matters. Funny thing is I like the coaches Trestman brought in this year and the coaches that stink were the ones that Emery brought in (Tucker & DeCamillis). i dont disagree with this, and I think this year the expectations were much higher and things have really spiralled. If this season goes full death spiral, i have no doubt that heads will roll after this season. I just wonder whose, the coaching staff or the coaching staff and Emery.- 2014-2015 NFL Football thread
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 12:54 PM) Think about this again... Harbaugh is 40-15 as a head coach in this league with a .727 winning percentage, having made the playoffs in each of his first 3 full season (including 1 superbowl appearance) and inherited a 6-10 team with a so-called bust in Alex Smith. Trestman is 11-13 with no postseason appearances and inherited a 10 win team. This is a really empty statement. That team did not go to the playoffs, and that team lost a lot of the defense leading into the next season. Trestman should be judged on his own record, which is mediocre to poor, not judged against Lovies final record. Lets not forget how Lovie went to the playoffs only once after he went to the Superbowl.- Ricketts selling 20% of Cubs, looking for $400 million

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 11:48 AM) I found this incredibly boring. I did too. I watched him do the first walk across, and then was done with it. The leadup to it was just boring as hell- 2014-2015 NFL Football thread
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 10:31 AM) Remember the guy complaining about Trestman this preseason. Oh yeah, that was me. And i said I wanted to see this coaching staff take the next step. They havent. Bets are off- Nik Wallenda tightropes Chicago
the hosts talked about the possibility of him falling, they said he is trained to immediately grab for the rope. If the wind gusts, i dont see how he could control that fall, but whatever. Thats why it is DEATH DEFYING!- 2014-2015 NFL Football thread
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 09:29 AM) Throw some money at Harbaugh I would like that, I just dont think Emery would be able to cede the control that Harbaugh would want. you just dont want Harbaugh in Ann Arbor (should it be green? )- 2014 Films Thread
QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 07:12 AM) Saw the first one. It was ok and don't feel the need to see the 2nd one because it's probably more of the same. YOU ALREADY TOLD ME THIS ONCE- 2014 TV thread
It always seems like the adversary group leaders are twisted in the same way. Terminus was the exception to the rule, and they were snuffed out quickly I did like how Gormans character was treated though. That guy was a chilling sexual predator- 2014-2015 NFL Football thread
LaCanfora reporting that Trestmans job security is tenuous, and players have tuned the coaching staff out, as well as a lot of in-fighting. Well, 2014-2015 was fun like a root canal- 2014 Films Thread

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 2, 2014 -> 03:34 PM) After what we saw from Weeden today, all those second guessers can politely shut the f*** up about saying he should have finished the game last week.

Im not gonna disagree with the premise, but i wouldnt say failing to go after Smoak and Dirks prove it.

And good amounts too. I have no idea how it can all come out of a dog his size. With my basset, it was his bladder. I am fairly sure it made up 96 percent of his body mass. - 2014-2015 NFL Football thread
