Agreed. Was thinking the same thing about Wilson today, he has to stay healthy tho. But now that he has been on the field for a few games straight, he is settling in and developing a bit.

Nice game by Grasu.

Very encouraging.

No.


And I'm not a 'Cutler supporter'. I knew he wasn't anything above average due to his flaws mentioned in my earlier posts after watching him for 2 seasons.

That doesn't mean I can't also simultaneously see the things he does have like a big league arm and decent athletic ability. I don't think he is a great QB or anything like that. But that's a different discussion.

God, we'll never be rid of this stupid boat anchor of a sports franchise. BEAAAAAAARRRSSSSSS

yeah i know, but at the same time it's just gonna be overtly negative #FanShaming getting on the media for overhyping another meaningless win over another bad team..... but hey we know the bears are never gonna be worst in the league bad cuz that's just how they roll.... and quite honestly if this team can surge up and finish 7-9 or something, at least you've got that to build from instead of finishing 4-12/5-11 and being like YEAH WE'RE PICKING #6-8 INSTEAD OF #12-14 BITCHES!!!! THE CHAMPIONSHIP WINDOW IS OPENING NEXT YEAR SO PREPARE YOUR ANUSES!!!!!!

you're still going to have a lot of these guys around in the future, and if they can take some steps towards cromulency now, well hey if you'd get your high draft picks and have to have a middling 1-game-within-500-one-way-or-the-other as a step on the path to being good, well hey if you're clever and your coaching staff gets your players playing you might already be there if you can successfully "reload" as opposed to "rebuild" cuz if you're counting on 2nd-5th round picks to be contributors to the future-contending bears, does it REALLY matter if you're picking at #6 or #12? at that point you just gotta hit on whoever.

ah well c'est la vie, call it the bernsteinian strawman or whatever (i'd call him a scarecrow but he prolly doesnt scare many crows as it's hard for crows to see down that close to the ground) but it's like dr. ken said a few weeks ago.... i'm gonna watch this team every week all year cuz it's what i do..... and if i'm gonna do that i want excitement and wins or at least chances to win and all that.... and hey you know, this coaching staff can coach and that shitty defense from the trestman era is still around and hey whaddya know, you get mel tucker out of town and bring in fangio and now the defense is putting in professional shifts this afternoon.... who woulda thunk it possible, especially once we got to #UnleashMelTucker from the shackles of the lovie smith defense?

dude, if the late ditka era into the wannstedt era didnt kill this team i dont think anything will. they're not as horrible as we make them out to be cuz they're never worst-in-the-league-bad.... but given how "this stupid boat anchor of a sports franchise" captivates the city despite being "this stupid boat anchor of a sports franchise" --- well isn't there a point where you just gotta shrug and say it's football and the NFL has pretty much grabbed the de-facto/title of "america's game" from baseball and even a shitty franchise is still gonna be the most beloved franchise in the town? in our case they're LITERALLY called "the beloved" at that =D

so if we had the patriots in town as our NFL team would you still be rooting for them to crash/burn/die(in terms of popularity) or would it be "ok" for them to capture the city's attention/heart/etc cuz they're a well-run franchise? or is this simply a thing where you just don't like how the dumbass NFL rules your city's sports scene with an iron fist...... by default?

basically i'm asking is this specifically a bears thing, or is it a "bears thing" masquerading as some deep-seeded hatred for the NFL being #1 in chicago/USA/etc?

I find football the least interesting of the big five team sports and find it irritating that if this is the way it has to be in America, we can't at least have a great team nor even a terrible one, just this big mediocrity that sits here demanding everyone's attention like a big wet fart. I stopped deriving enjoyment from this team years ago and now actively resent their stranglehold on the sports scene.

I see those things too. He has some positive qualities to him. There's a reason he's still a starting QB in the league.

I didn't realize he is the best running back of all-time, by far, based on yards per carry:

Jamaal Charles 5.48
Jim Brown 5.22
Mercury Morris 5.14
Joe Perry 5.04
Gayle Sayers 5.00
Barry Sanders 4.99
Adrian Peterson 4.96

ok, so it's a NFL thing..... but the bears being the bears definitely doesn't help.

[insert some bernsteinian lecture about how the NFL is designed to have "parity" so your teams are usually mediocre (as opposed to full on bad) for longer periods of time and therefore any team can be run well for 2-5 years and have a good spell to "capture the hearts and minds of the fanbase" and keep that revenue flowing]

but hey man i hear ya on the football thing.... i mean it's not like i didnt go off and get into my euro soccer over the last few years cuz football had me so satiated and content with my sports consumption that i wasnt looking elsewhere for other sports, even tho by and large euro soccer fills niche hours that aren't occupied by american sports (c'est la vie)

football is just inherently default in this society.... i'd say it's clearly overtaken baseball cuz it's a more inherently modern/made-for-TV sport, and while that arguably makes baseball better to some/many, still, the NFL won the sport wars much like taco bell won the fast food wars in demolition man..... so let';s thank god that every sport isn't the NFL, eh?

Jaquizz to IR.

After the first quarter, definitely. The shocking thing was how Long manhandled Justin Houston.

That sorta surprised me too, although I think something is wrong with Houston this year. Long is going to be a great tackle.

He was great last week vs. Mack.

Long is going to be a good one for a long time.

Maybe now people will stop complaining about drafting a guard with that pick
