I agree with Dickerson
the Falcons seemed like they knew most of the plays.. maybe it was the Marty Booker thing. Just kidding. I think when you have two weeks to prepare for a team you should show some new wrinkles. Right? I know they ran the Wild cat and like a reverse to hester which I really liked but the goal line play calling was so predictable.
I have never been a big Tuner fan but I really hope they can his ass after this season and bring in someone with imagination and balls. I know the line hasn’t really helped Turner’s cause but come on fullback dive?
I've got this thing and it's fucking golden!

Turner doesn't seem to understand the strengths/weaknesses of his personnel
On that goal line stand, Forte was trying to get in behind the left (weak) side of the line. If you’re gonna try to punch it in, why not run behind Garza or Williams? This line just isn’t strong enough to bang away on the goal-line and win those battles a high percentage of the time, anyway.
When you’ve got a pro-bowl quarterback, let him convert in those situations. After the first attempt to run it in failed miserably (and they almost lost the fumble), they should have run a play-action, boot-leg (to the right side) .

Maybe Chad Johnson should worry more about the Bengals
and hoping to not get blacked out instead of spending his time tweeting and creating new Iphone apps. Since last week was the first time he cracked 100 yards since 07, maybe that should be a priority as well.

this is bullshit.
Am I the only one who’s against the idea of giving Cutler an extension at this point? it’s not even the middle of the season. Didn’t Angelo himself say they’re in no rush to sign him to any deals anytime soon?
is it me or is this a way of saying “our team is gonna suck for a while, so let’s make sure our best player doesn’t go anywhere”

One good thing about today's NFL is you don't have to suck for a long time
unless you have terrible coaching and management…….never mind.

yes you are
they’re using the available cap space now so that they can afford better players next year (so they won’t suck for a while).

Afford better players? You're out of you're element, Genetic.
Were talking about the Bears. not the friggin Redskins.

*theoretically
they have been spending money on FA’s lately…it’s just that they pick old ones who suck.

dude
have you seen the contracts eli, rivers, and cassel signed recently? the market for QBs is going up. the longer we wait, the more locking up cutler would cost. you said it yourself: its not like wed ever consider letting cutler go, so why wait?

Ervin Baldwin
Another waste of a draft pick…. so much for Jerry Genius’ late round gems. Can’t draft a DE worth a crap… or a S worth a crap either.

OK, bear with me here
Apparently the Chief’s wanted this guy last year so we signed him to the active roster to keep him. Now we don’t want him and are getting thin at LB. The Chief’s have an LB they seem willing to part with. Why just release Baldwin when you can try packaging him with a 5 or 6th pick to the Chief’s for their LB? I know the GM who tried to sign him isn’t there any more but hey, Pioli got Cassel for a 2nd so maybe they need some DLine and he’s feeling generous. Or can you not trade practice squaders? I admit to much ignorance about that and several other things.

now we have cutler's contract extended
get turner out…
by Da Sassage on Oct 21, 2009 9:46 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Compared to the Mannings,
2 years for 30mil. is a bargain. Almost. Here’s to Jay living up to our expectations. After such QBs as Grossman, McNown, He of the three first names, Peter Tom Willis. We would be easily impressed with an adequate quarterback. So Cutler, just throw for 300+ yards a game for the rest of the season. Oh, Turner can go teach pee wee league football for the park district or something. Maybe that’s more his speed.

Bears Uni's
anybody else here think the navy on navy uni combo is sick looking? It would be awesome to see them wear those again.
by Da Sassage on Oct 21, 2009 10:51 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
that's random
but i agree, i like those. i always like the one color look, the all whites are good too.
by genetic on Oct 21, 2009 12:59 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
either way
i like all their uni’s, but the blue on blue look great.
by Da Sassage on Oct 21, 2009 1:56 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah they do
but they hardly ever wear them. Why is that?

Orange ones! Lucky me I get to see them for the Browns game. I like white pants cuz they show off tha booty :)

The orange is my favorite too.
Be nice. Flag comments that you think are offensive. Use the "reply" button. Drink plenty of water. Compliment others. Rec (wreck) comments and posts you like. Don't call people names. If you don't like someone's comment, attack the comment and not the commentor. Learn the difference in your/you're, then/than, to/too. Exercise. Relax. Stretch often. Find good in the world.
Just because it can be done on Madden NFL does not automatically make it a viable option in real life.

Btw,
Trials as in the band? If so, are you the chick bass player?

With how bad
Pace’s play has been so far maybe we should move him to the right side and put Williams on the left side? What do you guys think? At his age i think pace would be better on the left side.

Loved the Wale post...
That’s the attitude and accountability that I would love to hear from every player and more importantly the coaching staff. I’ve been critical of his play in the past, but I am now convinced he needs to stick around a few more years. He may be the kick in the ass that G Adams needs to live up to his potential.
There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.
by LostInSTL on Oct 21, 2009 11:49 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I agree completely
I’d hate to see O-gun shoved out the door because of this. He clearly wants to stay here, but he seems realistic that his time might be done.
As long as he doesn’t go looking for a huge payday, there’s no reason the Bears shouldn’t resign him.
