Augh another Sunday with only the Bears game showing early.

Here’s the best part: Joe and Troy with the call. Eat shit, NFL distribution. Eat my shit.

This is late, but...

Bears, Bears, Go Bears!!

I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.

Anyone else watching Falcons-Skins?

The Falcons did the scream/yell/shift/have no intention of snapping the ball in hopes of drawing an offside thing and it actually worked!

Troy Polamalu
Kurt Warner

You're not my best friend.

And you’re not comin to my birthday. and youre not gettin no cake.

I can't stand Welker or Polamalu.

I’m fine with Warner and Romo, Romo was too good to us in 2006.

How so?

I'd be pretty shocked if it happened.

Raiders, Lions, Rams, Bucs, Skins, Chiefs, Titans are all worse.

SEA!

by MFAN on Nov 8, 2009 11:01 AM PST up reply actions  

Not sure.

I think Seattle wins 6-7 games and the rest of those teams winning 3-5, The Titans are the only one’s I see that could bounce back. Cleveland is another 3 win team.

SEA!

There are 8 or so guys I'd love to pick,

As long as we’re bottom 8.
3 QBs
2 DTs
3 OT (Okung, Bulaga, Williams)

Someone will bite on Dunlap (like Tyson Jackson)
Someone will bite on Dez Bryant.

by LantermanC on Nov 8, 2009 11:04 AM PST up reply actions  

I think it's funny watching the Bears melt down. After all the screaming about how all they need is a QB,

and that the defense was still elite, it’s pretty clear that the defense is weak/old/bad and the offense is Cutler in a kindergarten scheme with minimal talent. What sayest thee now, fat Bears fan?

Baltimore is getting DOMINATED by Cincy...

I hate this trick play stuff, but damn is it effective.

I would’ve thought a speedy back like Slaton would be needed though.

When will the Bears realize Lovie and Babich need to go?

The defending of Grossman time and time again combined with Ron Turner leaving set them back.

Fire Bruce DeHaven.

by SSreporters on Nov 8, 2009 11:11 AM PST reply actions  

Ron Turner really needs to go.

The worst part for the Bears is that they don’t pick until the 4th round this year. Whoops.

Much better than I remember. Excellent actually.

Here in Nashville, they have the 60 minute on tap a lot and it is quite disappointing.

It's not bad. It is insanely spread out and people are terrible drivers.

I miss good beer (I’ve only been here for three months.) There is a lots of live music to be had, so that is always good. I don’t appreciate the country music so much, plus the stuff here is the “pop country” which is endlessly annoying.

The people are nice enough. There are a lot of people from other parts of the country. Almost everyone I meet moved from another state.

I won’t live here permanently, my girlfriend is at Vanderbilt for Nurse Practitioner school, but it is not so bad temporarily.

Everything is fried!

There is a building that looks like Batman.

The downtown Honky Tonk scene is very interesting. Every single bar has a live show (No Covers!), and a lot of them are very good musicians, often studio musicians for the various record labels. East Nashville is a cool counter-culture type area. There are all sorts of Civil War sites around and some really old towns.

It would be a neat place to visit I’m sure. I find really interesting places quite often.

Agreed

I think my former lack of appreciation for malts swayed my tastes.

And I don't know how to really describe it

but the hops have a different quality than you normally find in a NW IPA. You get less grapefruit flavor.

Speaking of Dogfish, this is a pretty interesting video of the brewers making a Chica:

Anyone in the area interested in hosting a traveling blogger for a Sunday?

Well

I want to contact readers and see if they would host me for a Sunday. I want to travel to 12th men in Anchorage and Boise and wherever. I will be in Seattle quite a bit, but I have my own accommodations.

Portand hate the Seahawks

You’d have a hard time finding the score on Monday after a game, but you can follow the Blazers or the Ducks in June.

I think you could argue about Terrill

We need the LB and CB depth a lot more than the DL depth.

I agree

by John Morgan on Nov 8, 2009 12:15 PM PST up reply actions  

How are we going to field a defensive backfield without Fisher?

What would we have done if he’d lost a 3rd LB to injury?

When we lost Bennett, we were still in contention. You don’t give up contention for an undrafted rookie who showed flashes of promise in the preseason.

You could also play a 3-3-5

We use it a fair amount

but I don’t know if that would help our LB-shortage.

by ninjasocks on Nov 8, 2009 12:24 PM PST up reply actions  

I don't remember what roster we had at the time

But I think Leroy was hurt and Lofa was hurt or questionable. We would have had Curry, Hawthorne and Herring, I think, in the LB corps. That’s a pretty shallow pool for special teams and one player away from only fielding 2 LBs. We needed an LB at depth who could fill in at ST and knew the defensive schemes.

"Its not that I can't read and write, its just that I don't like to read and write."
-Charlie

by ninjasocks on Nov 8, 2009 12:23 PM PST up reply actions  

Also Laury, who has been in the system for a while.

I don’t have a problem with D.D. Lewis being on the roster, but I think he easily should of been cut over Bennett.
