QUOTE (Boogua @ Nov 20, 2012 -> 10:06 AM) Seriously? His offense has trouble against college teams that have talent on defense. I just can't see him being a successful NFL coach. What do you find intriguing about him? I think he's a brilliant offensive mind.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 20, 2012 -> 10:49 AM) link Thanks... I am very partial to Lovie...but I would be very intrigued by the possibility of Chip Kelly as head coach...

Any news on Jeffrey?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 20, 2012 -> 10:20 AM) ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo Bears opponents in their 7 wins currently are a combined 25-44-1. Bears 3 losses are vs teams that are 23-6-1 (Packers, Texans, 49ers) And now we play the Vikings twice (6-4) and the Packers once (7-3) and Seattle (6-4). Luckily we have Seattle at home, although they have managed to beat us in Chicago recently.

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 20, 2012 -> 08:56 AM) Yes I did. I am just rejecting the "dogs don't kill, people kill" argument. When society abuses something, guns, driving speeds, working conditions, you name it, society has an obligation to protect itself. As a responsible gun owner I accept that guns are potentially dangerous weapons and certain types need special regulations. I view certain breeds of dogs the same way. To use an extreme example, I could be a responsible gunowner with a M256 smoothbore cannon, typical on an M1 tank, but I don't think we should allow them unregulated. I believe if we were to pick the most dangerous dog breed, these would qualfy and I see no hypocrisy on my part in suggesting if we are to regulate breeds, this would be the place to start. Well, a few points...first of all, this is not a inanimate object, this is an animal. I don't think it's as easy as saying "we should ban them." Secondly, while I agree that some animals are not safe in areas of civilization, such as lions and tigers, etc., the answer is not for the community to make an ignorant decision on which breeds to ban because it is the easiest solution.

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 20, 2012 -> 08:40 AM) #1 Because they have the best chance to be successful. And Pit Bulls have the best chance to be successful at fighting. What tools would they need to be successful? Powerful jaws, deadly bite, ability to take the pain, aggression. #2 You didn't answer, so I guess we agree here as well, Thank you. That is not necessarily true at all. At some point a group of people determined that this was a potential breed that could be "altered" to serve this purpose. It certainly does not mean that Pit Bulls should be singled out as some menacing killing machine. Did you read any of the posts they made yesterday about average, ordinary Pit Bulls?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 11:45 PM) Hes played less than 1 season in the NFL. He had better complimentary talent when he was at Wisconsin. He may suck, but its not helping how bad the rest of the o-line is. For sure...they all suck with the exception of Garza.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 10:35 PM) 49 games > 10 with the Bears. I thought Columbo was a bust, turns out the Bears have a strange ability to destroy lineman. If the Bears were wrong on Carimi, not much you can do. He won the Outland award, was extremely successful in college at LT. But Im not going to just destroy him because a guy who is breaking sack records had his number. Well, you keep backing your boy, I understand. But... 1) Let's not pretend as though NCAA success means anything in the NFL; and 2) This certainly isn't his first poor game. He consistently makes an ass of himself.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 11:29 PM) Coming into the game tonight the 49ers line had given up more sacks then the Bears. Coming into the game tonight the Bears defense had more sacks than the 49ers. Say what you will about those facts, but they are real. Admit it, Carimi is a BUST

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 11:26 PM) Tice great 4th and 1 call................line sucked all night u run a draw with 3rd string RB! Honestly, they have no business running a no-huddle offense or keeping this many first stringers on the field. I almost had a heart attack when I saw Marshall get up there and wince. Tice needs to be fired.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 11:14 PM) This is what happens when your coach thinks that average players can handle all-pros 1 on 1. At some point you have to use a TE to chip or do something. Its criminal that they just leave these lineman out to dry. It is, but at the same time, they need to learn how to actually block at some point. We can't win anything by running max protect sets all game long.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 11:11 PM) Are the Niners seriously challenging when they're up 23 with 9 minutes left? Stop wasting everybody's time Harbaugh. My heart wants to stab him in the eye with a blunt instrument, but I suppose you never know what might happen.

If I was Carimi I would honestly be embarrassed to walk into the locker room after this game. What a big fat piece of absolute s***. And Tice, what the f*** are you doing even dropping back at this point? Hand the ball off to Bush and get the f*** out of here. And great, Jeffrey is hurt again.

To whomever said Bears teams usually come out unprepared under Lovie, I couldn't disagree more. Rarely, if ever (I suppose tonight is one of the very few "evers") has our defense looked unprepared when they stepped on the field. This is following the script to the letter for our games in SF. Campbell is a loser. This was what I was talking about this morning when I said I would have rather had Smith play tonight.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 01:10 PM) For real. One cannot comprehend how huge a Irish Wolfhound is until you see one up close. And those dogs are proportional too, just big strong dogs. When I delivered pizzas in college I delivered to this tiny trailer, and the lady answered the door with her wolfhound standing next to her. I was astounded that A: he was 18 months old and probably at her shoulders just standing there, and B: she was living in a trailer with a dog that large. My Danes are 50% "Euro" and 50% "American" Great Danes. Their father is 100% Euro, which basically means they were crossbred at some point with Mastiffs. He is a freaking monster. My first Dane takes after is mother, who is 100% American, and is very tall and lean. He's about 37 inches at the withers, but probably only 120 pounds or so. My second Danes takes after his father. He's probably 35 inches tall but is just pure muscle. He'll probably end up around 150 pounds (and I keep him about as lean as possible).

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 01:12 PM) Do APBTs show aggression toward siblings too? I know my sister's labs wrestle around with each other, but never with intent to injure. Primarily just curious. My two Danes will roughhouse together, especially right now, as they are both reaching physical maturity and beginning to sort out who will be the Alpha, but as soon as one makes any sign of pain or showing submission, the other immediately stops and backs off. With my parents' Irish Wolfhounds though, I have seen them really go after one another to the point where you're not sure when one of them will let up.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 10:41 AM) Exactly, the people who think they have full control are the ones who watch their dog turn. It's a wild animal they can do whatever they want. My boxer/chow/lab is docile and calm and never would do anything to hurt anyone, but I've seen her tear apart another dog in a fight when she had never shown aggression ever before. I can make my two Danes practically urinate on themselves in about 3 seconds, but at the same time, I've seen my oldest go after the weak link in the park before when the pack mentality takes over, as if almost in a trance.

And this is evidence of the problem...people who are not in a good position to be making this decision are indeed making this decision.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 11:10 AM) When people have tried to make plays against the Bears this season, the Bears defense has scored touchdowns This is true...

When it all goes bad down the road, we will look back on this moment and say "this is where it all went bad."

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 10:50 AM) thats a license that would be ignored by many, we both know that. Well the law is already ignored by many too, I am sure.

I like the licensing idea...I could live with that solution...in munies or counties with these bans, you should be able to own the breed if you prove that the individual dog is well-trained and isn't prone to unreasonable aggression.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 09:26 AM) You don't get to play in the 4th-5th best conference, schedule two FCS teams, and then complain about the computer rankings. HAHA And yet ND should play in a BCS bowl when they have two or three losses and beat no one of any consequence... Come on, man...you are just being ridiculous

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 10:13 AM) I'm not sure. I feel like the Bears usually do well against running QBs, because of their speed on defense. (Although #54 is a tad bit slower these days) When Vick was actually good, the Bears usually contained him pretty well. I'm not so concerned about his running ability...it's more his willingness to try and make plays, whereas Smith is Mr Checkdown.

I think I'd rather face Smith, to be honest.
