  1. Check out this link: http://www.chicagofootball.com/photos/2015...6880336/?page=1 #7 - #11 showed how bad our ILB play was. The middle of the field and flats were wide open all game.
  2. He had some broken ribs so I assume since we are basically all but eliminated from playoff contention, there is no reason to risk further injury. or on the conspiracy theory side, he was becoming a distraction and his play on the field was been average at best.
  3. If he was sick, then that was it. As a Type 1 Diabetic, his blood sugars would be all over the place. To low and he would be sluggish and making slow decisions, too high and he is shaky and can't concentrate.
  4. On the Cutler slam, that is not a tackle, he is literally flinging him over his hip with all his weight lifting him off the ground. Hard for me to believe the official standing in the shot could not see that. For the facemask, are you talking about Rodgers or some other call on Brady?
  5. I don't think it needs to be fined to confirm anything. It was pretty clear and still is by the replay, the defender lifted Cutler off his feet and slammed him to the ground. It was unnecessary. Crazy to hear Pereira talk about this tackle on Sproles which is exactly what happened to Cutler: https://www.facebook.com/NFLonFOX/videos/977454565626017/ Pereira also agreed that is should've been penalized: https://twitter.com/MikePereira/status/673603012154167297
  6. For Kickers, you can't just look at % without context. Tucker has missed 6 of his 7 beyond 50, and only 1 inside 50 (including XPs). Gould has missed 5 inside 50 and 1 beyond. The FGs and XPs are only part of the story. Tucker leads the league in touchbacks with 88.3% of his kickoffs going for a touchback and Gould is near the bottom at 48.3%.
  7. This will be a pleasant surprise and now in garbage time, if he makes a mistake, it is not going to hurt us.
  8. If this is not a penalty against a QB, I don't know what is: https://streamable.com/9n38?t=41.3 Now look at this one which was penalized: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlig...15-yard-penalty
  9. There were a lot of reasons we lost, and he was part of the reason with 2 missed kicks. He is tied for the league lead in missed FG's under 40 yards, and only Sturgis has a worse percentage under 40. Also, if you are including XP's, then yes 15 kicks, but if you are only counting FGs, then it is more like 7 or 8 straight. Also, in those 7 or 8, 6 were within 40 yards. He has missed at least one kick in 3 of the last 6 games, and in two of those he missed 2 kicks. So we want a kicker to miss a kick every other game and to miss 2 kicks on average, every 3rd game? He also had a near miss XP against GB and has continually failed to reach the end zone on kickoffs.
  10. Yeah he was off, everything seemed a little bit off, I wonder if there was some letdown from the extended break from the Thanksgiving game and high of beating GB. For Jay, yeah, hard to concentrate on anything when a family member is missing like that.
  11. On Gould, I am more concerned about the lack of distance on kickoffs. In today's day and age with the kick moved up, there is no reason other than extreme headwind for a professional kicker not to kick touchbacks consistently. He was behind 31 other kickers in touchback percentage (which includes some backup kickers), so he wasn't the worst kicker, but he is damn sure close. Then you add in his misses costing us 2 games out of 7 losses and it is hard to justify paying him $4.1mil next year.
  12. Add Gould to the list for cap space, there is no way in hell we can pay him $4.1 to miss FGs and to not kick balls out of the back of the end zone next year. I would rather use the $2.9mil on a rookie kicker and another position of need.
  13. Yeah, nothing new all year, we have been snakebit by officials all year, either non-calls against opponents, or phantom calls against us. Has literally cost us 3 wins.
  14. After a loss, I was hoping we would at least gain some draft position, but nope, we are still locked in at #15 with the toughest SoS out of the teams not in the playoff hunt (only KC is even close). So essentially that locks us in at the bottom of teams with the same record. W L SOS 1 CLE 2 10 0.527 2 TEN 3 9 0.505 3 SD 3 9 0.519 4 DAL 3 8 0.530 -------------------------------- 5 JAX 4 8 0.495 6 BAL 4 8 0.490 7 SF 4 8 0.524 8 STL 4 8 0.526 9 DET 4 8 0.527 10 NO 4 8 0.528 -------------------------------- 11 NYG 5 7 0.438 12 MIA 5 7 0.470 13 OAK 5 7 0.479 14 PHI 5 7 0.514 15 CHI 5 7 0.562 -------------------------------- 16 ATL 6 6 0.421 17 TB 6 6 0.470 18 HOU 6 6 0.540 19 BUF 6 6 0.545
  15. f#*k these refs, seriously. He wasn't going to the ground until he was getting tackled. Then everyone who is tackled within 3 steps is going to the ground? The most ridiculous rule ever.
  16. Now if this gets ruled an incompletion, I am going to be pissed, he took 4 steps and then a knee down.
  17. Yeah, was never going to be 49ers ball. Weird part is you get the ball where it was touched, but Patton touched it in the end zone, so it would've been a touchback anyway?
  18. What the hell, why were any Bears within 10 yards of that ball?
  19. This defense is so random. We shut them down for negative yards on multiple drives, then allow a long TD drive with a bunch of first downs.
  20. Yeah, that is great to see. That is now a couple of runs with him breaking tackles and getting yards after contact.
  21. On the INT, the WR's can't let a DB get to that spot when you know the play, that was ridiculous. Someone missed the call.
  22. Pretty hard for the defense to start any better. 2 SF drives, 0 first downs, -5 yards.
