QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 06:18 PM) Those two punts in place of FG attempts really screwed this team. The Packers did the same exact thing on multiple occasions. Both coaching staffs were extremely conservative in their decision making.

f***. Well valiant effort by Hanie today but kind of figured that would happen. Also, I absolutely hated the 3rd down play call.

Are you kidding me Maynard? Wow that was awful.

Tim Jennings is having an awful game

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 04:57 PM) WTF Refs blow the whistle when a guy is touched on the ground. Thats twice today. Wasn't an interception either. But that will be overturned

Todd Collins = game over

Wow what an awful play by Aaron Rogers. Game saver for the Bears because even a FG there for the Packers and this one is basically over.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 22, 2011 -> 02:29 PM) Why was Richmond on the bench down the stretch? What happened to DJ Richardson? He really wasn't. He was on the bench at times in the last minute when Weber tried to get as many 3 pt shooters on the floor as possible. He played 15 minutes in the 2nd half. No idea with Richardson, he has been in a bad funk the last 4 games but at least he put the ball on the floor a few times today.

Why is Ted Hilary still allowed to ref games in the Big 10?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 07:35 PM) He does love to rules-lawyer a lot of arguments. Yeah, I'm assuming Vanderbuilt doesn't drop their standards, similar to ND or NW. ND drops their standards dramatically. Maybe not as much as some programs but ND will let you in if you can help them win football games.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 17, 2011 -> 02:28 PM) Without making this a religious debate, I, and I'm sure many others, get annoyed by entertainers praising God publicly. And obviously religious people are now getting annoyed that he flaunted his atheism. That is why one of my favorite sports moments of last year was Stevie Johnson blaming god for him dropping that pass. That was awesome

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jan 17, 2011 -> 01:15 PM) along with the turf. It really is the worst field in sports. They should move to that synthetic mix that GB has or rolly with what NE has. Worst pro turf I have seen but the Fresno St. turf made Soldier Field's turf look majestic.

Jets pretty much have this one wrapped up but Greene shouldn't have scored on that last play. If he goes down at the 2 the game is over. Instead the Pats have a chance (albeit an incredibly small one) to win the game.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jan 16, 2011 -> 03:40 PM) yeah that was horrible.....goddamnit ....this is a game now...stupid f***ign forte play Not really, it is still a 3 score game.

Never let Forte throw again please.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 16, 2011 -> 03:29 PM) Now he doesn't have to have people talk about how he got shut out in the playoffs if his job is on the line after another year or two. Meh, nobody would talk about that anyways. He won a playoff game with a 7-9 team, and as a fan, GM or owner I would rather see my coach actually try to win the game.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 16, 2011 -> 03:25 PM) Pete Carroll has stopped playing to win and is just happy that he's not shut out. I will never understand this mentality. You should be trying onside kicks, going for it on 4th whenever feasible, etc. If you lose by 42 instead of 28 as a result who cares.

Not that it would matter but why the f*** would you kick a FG down 28? Awful decision.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jan 16, 2011 -> 02:09 PM) Gotta love the "awww" from the crowd when Devin signaled for the fair catch. I like that decision with a 21 point lead. No mistakes. Do not let them back into this game. Just don't turn the ball over and the Bears have this one

Except for that one throw, Cutler has been terrific today. And wow is this Seattle defense just awful. Don't get me wrong, the Bears offense is playing well but Seattle hasn't been able to tackle all year and they are terrible in coverage.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 16, 2011 -> 12:15 PM) Chris Bosh is such a p****. Jeez. And people said Boozer was soft...Bosh seems to be on another level. I'm actually glad the Bulls didn't get Bosh after hearing what he's said. The guy is worse than LeBron when it comes to public comments. Boozer isn't soft but he is very injury prone and one of the worst defenders in the NBA. However, his rebounding and offensive skills outweigh his defensive limitations against almost all teams.

Wow Jay Cutler just got insanely lucky. That was probably a pick 6 and would have completely changed the game.

QUOTE (hitlesswonder @ Jan 15, 2011 -> 05:57 PM) That's true, but his overall game has regressed since joining UI. While his outside shooting is admittedly better than in HS/prep, he's much worse handling the ball now than 2 years ago -- I don't know how that can happen but it has. He can't get to the hole anymore and even his on-the-ball defense is worse now. I don't know what you can blame other than coaching, as Richardson is regarded as a hard worker... How the f*** could a coach make a player a worse ball handler? That makes absolutely no sense.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 15, 2011 -> 05:42 PM) They are also just sophmomores. And Paul is actually starting to play really good basketball the last couple of games. Paul was pretty raw coming in which was obvious last year. His jump shot was inconsistent because his form was inconsistent and he has improved a lot from last year to this year in that area but he has made a giant leap in his ball handling and decision making. As for DJ, I don't think anyone ever thought he was anything other than a 4 year college player (albeit a very very good one).

Awesome, Bo Ryan and the Illinois coaching staff talking to each other about how awful the refs were both ways today in the postgame handshake.
