OT: Bears & NFL Talk 103

[Romang67]

Good on Brown for not rolling over. I wonder if he'll have a chat with Moore who stepped out for a 5 yard gain instead of fighting for more yards on the last drive.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

4 drops by Allen

 

[Scottkmlps]

Another drop.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

3 of the last 4 passes have been dropped

 

[Scottkmlps]

And another drop.

 

[Romang67]

Allen, you're supposed to be the blitz beater.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

2 drops by Allen and a dropped TD by Odunze.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Williams to Allen

TD

Garbage time baby!

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Caleb getting some garbage time stats

The Bears have 5 drops tonite. Allen with 4

Caleb could have walked that in on the right side

 

[Romang67]

Oh come on. You don't need 12 men to beat the Bears.

 

[ClydeLee]

It's garbage time but the Vikings aren't playing prevent. They're still heavy rushing

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Bears have been outscored 65-19 in the Thomas Brown HC era

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Now do Angelo’s first round picks.

2001 - WR David Terrell (8th overall) = Complete bust and douche
2002 - T Marc Colombo (29th overall) = Never healthy in Chicago, Went to Dallas and started for 6 years at RT
2003 - DE Michael Haynes (14th overall) = Complete bust
2003 - QB Rex Grossman (22nd overall) = roller coaster of shit and disappointment
2004 - DT Tommie Harris (14th overall) = Star DT until injuries derailed career
2005 - RB Cedric Benson (4th overall) = Up and down career both in Chicago and Cincy
2007 - TE Greg Olsen (31st overall) = HOF TE that was stupidly traded away
2008 - T Chris Williams (14th overall) = Bust who was drafted with bad back
2011 - T Gabe Carimi (29th overall) = Bust who started one year and was out of league 2 years later

Its well known that poor 1st round drafting was biggest issue of Angelo era

He hit mid/late round picks and in FA to have team competitive but failures in 1st round hurt and prevented team from being consistently good

Of course, in Bears usual fashion the two most competent men when it came to drafting were both forced out of organization after being sidelined and essentially embarrassed by management publicly

Jim Finks and Jerry Vainisi

 

[Backyard Hockey]

6 drops by WR tonite. One target to Kmet

1-11 on 3rd down. 0-2 on 4th. Pathetic

 

[Backyard Hockey]

I can’t believe I’m saying this…this team played much better with Eberflus as the coach.

Vikes are a nice story but they aren’t going deep in the playoffs

Did you forget about the Cardinals and Patriots?

 

[Romang67]

Scott running out of bounds to stop the clock is genuinely really funny.

 

[HeisenBaez]

Dear NFL,

Stop scheduling the Bears for prime time game game. You are not going to get a good game from Chicago. So quit it.

 

[Pez68]

I want to thank the McCaskey's, along with Reinsdorf, for giving me almost zero interest in watching any Chicago sports. You have truly ruined the market.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Yep. Poles has to go

 

[TLEH]

 

[Romang67]

The other NFC North teams sure have gotten a lot better during the Poles era.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Dear NFL,

Stop scheduling the Bears for prime time game game. You are not going to get a good game from Chicago. So quit it.

They have been needing to do that for a decade now

Stop putting Bears on primetime

Bigger failure running Bears

Michael or George?

I would argue George is worse because Michael era at least the Bears for most of it were good or competitive and it wasn't until later years of George run Bears that his meddling helped sink Bears

 

[Reality Check]

Vikes are a nice story but they aren’t going deep in the playoffs

I'm not trying to crap on Minnesota. But this is who they have faced, on the road, outside the division:

@ Giants Week 1 W
@ Rams Week 8 L
@ Jacksonville Week 10 W
@ Tennessee Week 11 W

Next week they are @ Seattle and that might be against their backup QB.
