Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

The Bears Played The Titans (kinda) And You Were There...

Hi. I'm Jay Cutler with no expression what so ever.  This is how we don't pout.


Well.  The Bears indeed played the Titans.  All I can really take from this is that Jay Cutler better stay healthy.  That, and that when I posted this I may not have been as far off the mark as many had me.  We played well.  We struggled.  He had highlights and we have question marks.  In short, we are the Chicago Bears.  That remains a constant at least.  But there was a game, there were comments, and several were funny.  Also, many provided lessons in grammar, proper phrasing of sentences, and general weirdness.  So join me after the jump for the best of the in-game thread.

I really like the lead in on this first comment without any point of reference other than a future historical one....

Fourth best team in the division!

I am a life long bears fan but I have to say that this coming season makes me nervous. I hope I am not the only bears fan that thinks this team really isnt that good. They won through smoke and mirrors last year. They played several third team quarterbacks and had virtually no injuries at all. With Green Bay being healthy , the lions looking to make a push , and the Vikings having good talent all over the field the prospects of winning the division again doesnt look good. I said it last year and was wrong but I will stick to my belief that this is a 5 or 6 win team. They need to blow it up and totally start over. I love the bears but the smoke and mirrors routine has to stop.

TRADE EVERYBODY!!! Lets get some picks out of Peppers and Cutler and Urlacher and Kahil Bell before everyone realizes that they’re washed up!!! That way we can have a really young team that will contend forevah!!! Lets get my middle school football coach to be the head coach since he’s a great motivator and wayyy more emotional than lovie.

Boom, Bears fixed, instant contender, fastest rebuild evah

true

but this guy sounds like the local cvs cashier grumpypants on fullerton and pulaski.

obviously, it’s a great idea to get rid of about 45 players and the entire front office and “start over”. if it works for them in madden then of course it carries over into reality.

Thats what happened to the Lions after Millen left in 2008

All but like 10 or 11 players TOTAL are left from that 08’ team. Mayhew scrapped that entire team and started completely over and in just 3 offseasons, has the Lions in position to become winners. So its not impossible.

I don’t think the guy is a troll at all, the Bears defense is aging, the offensive line isn’t that good, they have no true legit threat at wideout (don’t even say Roy Williams is the guy either), and if Cutler goes down than that 5 or 6 win mark could stand true.

I see his point, the Bears did use a lot od smoke and mirrors last year and were the healthiest team in the NFL, he just seems to be stating what every Bears fan might eventually have to succumb to this season.

Come back when the Lions go .500

They’ve got a few years yet

And they’re #1 overall QB with the “huge heart” and arm to match needs to learn to stay healthy more than 15 games in 3 seasons

Lions need about 2 or 3 more drafts until they can be in a “position to win”

LOL And just how do you know that?

We had 3 really productive offseasons what has Angelo done to make this season better for the Bears? Picking up scrap heap players like Roy Williams and letting the best o-lineman walk away? C’mon man, there is a reason for all these skeptical Bears fans. They see that hardly any improvement has been made despite having the highest cap space in the division.

Stafford has had injury problems, sure but he’s behind an o-line that was 6th in the league last year for sacks allowed and is throwing to Megatron. I’d take those odds over Cutler’s considering how bad that O-line is and that he is going to see the Lions D-line twice this year and their even better than last year.

Just ask the Patriots how good the Lions could be this year. Preseason or not, the Lions dominated them. I can’t wait for that Monday Night game in Detroit!

Hey, what is it with you Chicago guys?

I give my opinion on a topic and SuckmyDitka responds with a smart alek type of response and I respond with the same and now I’m a troll? Man, this SB site by far is the most uptight bunch of people. I like a lot of you guys, I really do, but I’m just giving my opinion, biased or not and I get flack for it.

If anyone of you came to the Pride of Detroit and did the same I would love it. Its the beauty of the sport and I would love some criticism or an opinion fron you guys. I like outsiders’ perception on my team whether I want to hear it or not.

Again, sorry if I offended anybody. I wasn’t trolling and I thought a little trash talk was tolerable over here. If I’m going to be called a troll for an opinion or even fair crictism, than I guess I know to go to a SB site like Acme Packing Co who seem to know how to have fun instead of here. By far the most uptight and unwelcoming SB site of all the blog sites I go to in regards to visitors.

Oh well, until October 10th, enjoy your team’s blog. I will try to be a little more considerate next time.

I’m also the only guy who will defend to the death of me that Caleb Hanie sucks, Devin Hester is a legit #1 WR, johnny Knox is way overrated.

Here's my problem, and it's not directed at you.

I have no problem with preseason optimism – after all it’s the time for that. I’m fine when it stays civil and is a discussion of how teams match up, how one might do, et cetera. I mean hell, like I told one of your PoD guys last month when they came over here to gang-pounce on a FanPost, I could see you at 9-7

What I’ve seen on an escalating level is this notion from lots of Lions fans that bears to a level only rivaled by last year’s Eagles fans jumping over here with their notions that the Bears didn’t belong on the same field. This notion that we should start printing Lions playoff tickets early, that every quarterback is as good as dead when facing the Lions D-Line, that because Stafford might stay healthy that the Lions offense will be unstoppable, the linebacking corps and defensive backs will be more than serviceable, and that we’re idiots if we don’t see that.

Never mind that the regular season isn’t winding down, that a regular season game hasn’t been played, that the preseason isn’t even over yet. And never mind that the Lions haven’t had a winning record all decade. I’d expect a little more restraint from a fanbase that’s experienced a worse franchise than the Cubs this decade, or at least a little more respect for winning some games than this preseason gloat-fest that Lions fans seem to have taken on.

Look, if Lions fans want to be optimistic, I’m all about that, I like seeing fans happy when their team is doing well. And I’ve got nothing against a little friendly trash-talk. However, and this goes for us too, “gloating assbag” is not to be confused for “optimism” or “friendly trash-talk.” And from your fanbase, I’m seeing lots of “gloating assbag,” known as something to be done when the team has at least won more than a regular season game, instead of the claimed “optimism.”

Again, not directed at you, I think you’re fine, and actually like seeing your opinion, even though we clearly know you’re on the wrong side of the fence. :)

Bears got MUCH better actually

Everyone’s got another year under their belt in the current offensive system.

Picked up great role players like Amobi Okoye (3 sacks in the pre-season) and Marion Barber who looks as if he still has something left in the tank.

They added by subtracting in the release of the Manatee and cutting Kruetz

Kruetz was a player who was living in the past. He’s not as good as he was in 06 and everyone just needs to move on. Garza and ultimately Spencer will be better.

They drafted arguably the most pro ready tackle in the draft in Carimi who graded out as a decent LT and as a great RT.

Drafted Stephen Paea who will be a great addition to an already beast d-line (yes they’re better than the lions’ d-line so suck it)

I’ll take Cutler and our oline over Stafford and Lions’ oline everyday and definitely sunday. Cutler has missed 1 count them 1 game since becomming a starter in this league.

Stafford has missed more games than he has played.

All in all the Lions’ are due for another injury prone season of below average play, a below average record..

Listen Lions win the award every year for offseason champs, but that means nothing.

You can beat the Pats in pre-season every week, of every year, from here on out. It means absolutely NOTHING come regular season.

I'll give the Lions an edge at tackle,

but we’ve got the edge at end.

Suh’s got a Defensive Rookie of the Year, had a hell of a season, and they only added another first round DT to that. Inexperienced, sort of an unknown on that second tackle, but Suh makes up for a lot.

Cliff Avril will have a monster year if healthy

He was our 2nd best pass rusher behind Suh with 8.5 sacks in 13 games last year. He wasn’t non-existent at all, the Lions fans know of him very well and most believe he’s primed for a breakout season.

Corey Williams, Ndamukong Suh, Nick Fairley, and Sammie Lee Hill make up one hell of a defensive tackle rotation. The defensive ends in Cliff Avril, KVB (though more inspriration than great player he’s still decent), Lawrence Jackson, and Willie Young are all good enough to take advantage of the single blocking that they will face.

The Nfc North boasts the best group of defensive lines, that’s for sure. All 4 teams have a really good d-line.

Doesn't Avril seem more or less like the Lions version of Mark Anderson though?

Good pass rusher, but one dimensional? Seems like more of a rotational third-n-long end than an every-down end.

No, he wouldnt be around if he was one dimensional

Jim Schwartz preaches versatility and one trick ponys don’t usually last long on this team.. Mark Anderson had one monster year and dropped off the radar. Avril is a speed rusher that isn’t bad in run support and hasn’t even reached full potential yet.

I think the Bears have the better end in Peppers, but we have the better tackle in Suh. Not sure bout comparing the other players, but both teams have quality d-lineman.

The tackle numbers for him didn't seem particularly high, even for a D-lineman.

Anderson got exposed, horribly, when he tried to be played as an every down lineman. I’m aware Avril’s been more consistent than Anderson ever was, just was wondering how his run-stopping held up. Thanks for the info as always.

but third i disagree about the smoke and mirrors. the offense as a whole was pretty awful ranking near last on many categories and they still scratched out 11 wins. that’s got to say something positive about d and special teams. they beat quality teams too, not just the couple of games against mediocre teams on their 3rd qb. i am excited instead of nervous about the chances of the bears to beat down the division and onward this season.

That seems to be the consensus on the Bears current team

But the Bears are always right there and seem to overcome any odds to be in the playoff discussion. They could be last place if Cutler can’t stay upright, for sure, especially if the Lions D-line treats Cutler like they did Tom Brady on Saturday, but if he stays healthy they still have a chance to be a playoff team because of their outstanding defense and special teams unit.

From 0-16 to the Superbowl baby!

Erik would have made a fanpost on whether or not Lovie should hand over red flag duties to someone else, and advertised it in-thread.

For whatever reason...

I started drinking earlier than usual for that game. Maybe it was the hurricane fever that was sweeping the East coast. I was actually drinking hurricanes in honor of the event. Well it was more like rum and Hawaiian Punch with a splash of vodka because I ran out of Vodka and triple sec, but the end result was the same.
