We need a nice long drive with a TD at the end of it. People need to catch the ball, stay in bounds and chew up the clock.

The moron factor of stupid penalties at critical moments continues. You hit a sliding qb in the head? Why?

Pretty much most of the mobile devices tag by default. They usually do it for one of two if not both reasons. 1.) Shameless plug of their tech. 2.) Built-in excuse when the person has typos in their email. Predictive text and fat fingers make a serious amount of typos in mobile based email. This is fine when you are texting, but not as excused in corporate email. Hence the, forgive my lack of correct syntax I am using X mobile device.

Hold by shields. No call. I thought we ditched the replacement refs.

They have a f***ing hard on for Alshon.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 02:35 PM) Our offensive coordinators are f***ing ridiculous. Let's just let Jay call the plays. All year long its been difficult to get plays in. High school and college teams can signal in plays but for Tice. It's confusing.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 02:02 PM) New GM will want his own guy.....................bring on Cowher! Mike Tice for blasting Martz offense is ranked just as bad even with Marshall clean house! Time to get an OL. Not just random fat guys who get confused when people throw different looks. We can't run, we can't pass protect. No more undersides DEs or members of the Albiliene Christian alumni.

As a republican I do not see any reason a normal citizen needs or should possess a semi automatic assault weapon. I can safely say that I am for a ban tomorrow on that class of weapon. With that being said bad guys will still get their hands on these types of weapons. Your local gang banger does not go to the local gun store with his foid card and buy a weapon. This will not eliminate gun violence and with Chicago as the example for restrictive gun laws it barely makes a dent. Pandora's box is open. I remember watching people coming into a courthouse seeing the metal detectors and throwing their contraband into the bushes. Drugs and weapons only to attempt to retrieve them later. There are lots of issues at play here. The family dynamics have changed. Parents want to be buddies with their children instead of parents. We don't take the time to invest in the family and it does cause issues with the final product. We spent quite a bit of time of delaying the fact that their on consequences to actions. Everyone is a winner and then later on in development we shock their system with consequences. We have no idea on what to do as a society with the mentally ill. We medicate, and unfortunately medication of any kind is a foreign substance with side effects that people don't want to go through. So they go off the wagon. And then we wait until there is an episode to re-act. How many parents have conversations with their kids to say. "that was a movie, those are actors and they will go home tonight after that shooting scene. In real life when a person gets killed you take them away and anything or everything that they would be. This is a video game. Those are pixels and memory on a computing system. When the person gets killed on the game the memory is reallocated and no one gets hurt because its video games. Itell my son everyday there is no reason for him to fight. We live in a "civilized" society. To be nice to everyone. To fight only as a complete last resort to protect yourself or your family. Sorry for the ramble but there isn't one answer here. We need to take steps to address the multiple factors at play here.

As a father of two small children my heart is broken thinking of what those parents are going through. My children are my world they are innocence personified just as all children are. Anyone who raises a hand or harms a child is a evil in the flesh. May the children rest in peace. The news organizations are providing me with a level of disgust. This is news. I understand that. Asking a small child interview questions on this type of crime is a joke. If a parent wants to step up and report what their child says that's one thing. Seeing a 8 year old getting prodded by a news reporter, So did you see the bullets, did you hear anything. The tabloid media salivates over our misery and I for one am disgusted. The kids have been through enough.

Bought a 42 inch 1080p LCD for 180 bucks on Amazon. I am going to use it as a monitor for my home office. Bought a new 256Gig SSD drive. As far as I am concerned my Black Friday was a success.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 08:57 PM) Yea the Bears do draft O linemen, but they usually suck (aka Carimi) Or they are injured in college and we act surprised when they get hurt.

QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 08:52 PM) You see what SF does? Fullbacks, tight ends ooo ahhh They also draft OL's in the first round. That's the difference.

QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 08:48 PM) Honestly -- can you discern a difference in play calling between Martz and Tice? You mean snap the ball, every OL step to the left and allow the DL to crush the QB. Is that really a play call.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 08:47 PM) OL has to be 1st and 2nd things addressed in 2013. We said that last year. And we picked a 3rd down pass rusher instead of the OL.

You see most of the time when Cutler is on his ass or running for his life the analyst are too busy talking about pouting Jay. The line is and has been a problem. This arrogance of well coach tice can make any line work is horses***. Draft and spend money on an OL. Not just slow fat guys who are not all that quick on the uptake.

QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 08:38 PM) I hope someone on the defense is willing to pay 30k to take Kaepernick out of the game Really?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 08:29 PM) How the hell did Jason Campbell compile a career 83 QB rating? He looks like a conservative version of Caleb Hanie. We should have signed Orton in the off-season instead. I am sure that Campbell had a functional OL as a qb. Not this pile of crap.

Dam you Jay ....... Wait.......

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 17, 2012 -> 01:09 PM) The whole time I've been thinking how the hell can the HEAD OF THE CIA not know how to get away with it? If there is one guy in America who should be able to do this and not get caught isn't the head of the CIA? A couple of nice tips for anyone looking to keep a relationship secret that I learned from the good General Create a gmail account, and you both use the same one. Compose messages but do not send. Then the other person comes along, reads it, and deletes and creates a new draft. No emails are even sent. Open a dropbox or similar and just leave documents there. Nothing stored on your hard drive. The fact that people still believe that they have any level of anonymity with any of the these tactics are humorous. The only person you may fool is your non-technical spouse. The amount of evidence that is left behind in its digital format would alarm you. Heck I wonder how many of you have bothered to check to see if those certificates from ssl encrypted sessions are the actual certificate from the server and not the certificate your company has issued who is acting as the man in the middle. In the end the professionals can get this info, no matter the cute tricks that you employ to get around it. And of all people on the planet, the head of the CIA should know this.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Nov 11, 2012 -> 11:01 PM) We have to rebuild the whole offense, I don't think one Olinemen is going to make any difference. I'm just questioning whether or not its smart to extend Jay for 3-4 years now while he puts up a 1:1 TD/Int ratio and a completion % that is amongst the worst in the league. You really don't see how fixing the line will fix thing? Really? Ditch number 23 after this season. Sign a FA lineman. Draft one or two plus a linebacker.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Nov 11, 2012 -> 10:53 PM) I don't know I'm just thinking out loud. This is something like his 3rd or 4th concussion now. He's not that young. His stats aren't good. And I'm just really concerned that we've ruined this poor guy. He's had no opportunity to get comfortable in any one system. He's been the most sacked QB in the NFL the past 3 years. As a result he's taken a lot of hits and his mechanics have broken down and he's just not elite enough to overcome all these deficits that Chicago has saddled him with. So how is this going to be different with the next qb. Get him a line. We had a chance to get a 1st round OL help. We picked a luxury situational speed rusher. Fix the line.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Nov 11, 2012 -> 10:48 PM) I like Jay and I want him to do well, I like that we're always in a game with his rocket arm. But his decision making is pretty poor, he forced a lot of balls, his mechanics have regressed and his pocket awareness has regressed as well. He's in the bottom 25% compared to the other NFL QB's in completion % and TD/INT ratio, he's not had a good year by any measure. Why is it such a no brainer to extend this guy for 3-4 years? Thats crazy to me. Well what exactly are you replacing him with.
