QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 28, 2008 -> 11:24 AM) I guess that Babich shouldn't have choked 3 times this year huh. So it was Babich's fault that Orton threw 3 INT's in Minnesota? Babich's fault that Orton was terrible in Minnesota? Babich's fault that Tillman decided to fight a guy on 4th down in OT vs Tampa? Babich's fault Olsen fumbled twice in Carolina? Or was it Babich's fault that Lovie squibbed with 11 seconds to go in Atlanta?

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 28, 2008 -> 08:10 AM) Coughlin will pull Eli at halftime and not play Jacobs at all, it sounds like. David Carr to play the 2nd half. Doesn't sound good...

Right now, this team is one of the best in hockey. Just an offensive machine and the special teams play has been fantastic.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Dec 26, 2008 -> 03:09 PM) Is this the latest incarnation of the old "Blue Line," or something completely different? The guy (Mark Weinberg) who did the "Blue Line" was hilarious, but boy did he hate the old man. Somewhere in my basement, I have an autographed copy of his book, "Career Misconduct." Weinberg was a practicing lawyer and actually sued and deposed WWW in litigation related to the "Blue Line." Yeah, it is. This guy has all these small little comments on Wirtz that really blows him away and some captions here and there. It's a great read.

I'm also going tonight. It's going to be awesome, yet again. BTW- for those attending, a man outside the UC always sells this paper. Buy it. It's called The Committed Indian and it analyzes the other team and the Hawks but with humor. It's $3 but it's well worth it. Did anybody see Alin Vigneault (sp?), the head coach of the Canucks, and what he said? I can't find it now but he said the Hawks are the best team in hockey. Thoughts?

Negandi said it was the best defensive play of the year.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 12:50 AM) And a helluva safety in Michael Huff. Unless you're being sarcastic, you're wrong. Huff has been terrible this year and has been benched already.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 25, 2008 -> 12:23 AM) ND still sucks, and I have no idea what Hawaii was doing this evening. As for the names on the jerseys, I've never seen that by Notre Dame. Wonder when the last time they did that was. Josh Mora on SportsNite said it was the 1st time in 20 years.

I thought ND sucked? Hawaii sucks.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 09:27 PM) Correct me if Im wrong, but the Bears were pretty close to beating Carolina, Tampa Bay and Atlanta. They have 2 bad losses (games outside of 1 TD) Vikings and Packers. The Vikings game they blew they could have taken a big lead but just massively messed it up. Packers flat out decimated them. All in all the Bears may not be great, but most other teams in the NFL arent that great either. If they make the playoffs who knows what happens. Ding ding ding. You're the winner! Show him what he's won, Johnny.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 05:31 PM) The Bears play in a terrible division with terrible overrated players. Urlacher is done and he should've never got that contract, Harris got paid and hasn't cared, Brown and Ogunleye are still decent, Mark Anderson hasn't been able to match his production from his rookie year, Tank Johnson is still being missed. Their secondary is atrocious. To expect Hester to continue being able to return TD's like it's nothing is unrealistic. Remember when DeAngelo Hall was all the rage? Where is he now? Excellent returners don't last. Hester is still dynamic and should still return kicks, but to say, "He only has one TD return" is being irresponsible as a fan of football. Hell didn't TB have a streak going where no one returned a kick for a TD? The Bears WR core is still pretty terrible. I see nothing but 3rd rate receivers. Hester should be a 3rd receiver, Booker a 4th, Olsen should be starting fulltime at TE with no splitting duties. Orton IMO is still not the answer, but he could be decent with good receivers around him. The problem is, the Bears offense isn't even interesting enough for top receivers. I still think firing Terry O'Shea was a mistake because those games Rex QB'd in that year, the offense was excellent and efficient. I expected it, and why not? The guy was a machine and had me breathless everytime he touched it. Last night, he did the same when he almost broke one. And that was Dante Hall, and D'Angelo Hall.

JD on 1000 today said something about how if the Raiders can stop Johnson, the Bears will. Hey dumba**, the Raiders have THE best cover-CB in football.

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Dec 22, 2008 -> 11:53 PM) Would of been nice to eliminate the Bears but I'll take the better pick. 7 f***ing games lost this year by 4 points or less, inexcusable. You guys have another keeper at QB in Rodgers, though. Grant is a very good back and Jennings, Jones, and Driver are all very good WR's. Just some changes here and there and you guys will be back in the double digit win column again next year. to a good game in the end. Could a Bears/Packers game have started (cold weather) and ended (OT FG for the win) any better?

Forte showed emotion on that catch for 10 or whatever. Don't see that much.

OH MY F**KING GOD

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 22, 2008 -> 11:33 PM) I think you're right...actually, wasn't it some player we had just activated that week? Someone blamed it on Tillman on the radio today, but I'm not positive. Didn't it take Mike Brown ages to get to the WR from the Falcons?

Unreal. 3 runs and a gimme for Crosby. This one is in the bag.

YES

I've seen 2 good things the past 4 minutes: good play calling sending Forte on the outside and Hester had me breathless there for a bit. EDIT- now he sends Forte back up the middle.

This guy stinks.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Dec 22, 2008 -> 11:06 PM) For as much s*** as I talk about Ron Turner, this offense has exceeded my expectations by quite a bit. Which isn't saying a whole lot, but is still something. While I get what you're saying, it's so frustrating. Forte finally gets a ball thrown his way and he takes it for 13 yards.

We have a stud, automatic mismatch in Olsen and he has like 10 catches in 5 weeks. This is a joke. Turner and Babich need to be canned. Bring in Garcia next year and draft a QB in the first 4 rounds.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 22, 2008 -> 10:53 PM) How about a running game? I tell you what- I'm not sure about you, but I haven't seen 1 f***ing hole from Forte from this pathetic f***ing OL.

Go to hell John Kasay.

Before the week started, if you would have told me that Andre Johnson and Roddy White were going to have 3 fantasy points combined for the guy I'm playing and I would get 21 from Colston and 16 from Gates, I would have loved you. Instead, I went with Dallas' D instead of Washington's and that f***ed me over.
