GoSox05 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Packers will probably be without Rodgers, Matthews, Lacy and Cobb come next week. Totally looking forward to next Sunday..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Yeah yeah, James Starks is a fine backup and he'll easily put 200+ on this travesty of a run defense. edit: Prep yourself for laughter at watching Bostic jumping out of the running lane and behind the seal seemingly on purpose to open up a 20 yard gain to lead to Conte running benny hill style behind Starks. It's a hoot. Edited December 23, 2013 by bmags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 LOL at you guys who think the Bears can catch lighting in a bottle and do something in the playoffs. That defense is terrible and it's not going to suddenly stop being terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 23, 2013 -> 08:41 AM) Oh you can always sabotage yourself, but the structure of the NBA draft really punishes the middle-of-the-pack teams because of the lottery aspect. Well the nature of the NBA itself does that. If you don't have a superstar player, you have almost 0% chance of winning. We've talked about it before, but the last team to win with no real superstar talent was Detroit, and that team still had Chauncey Billups, Rasheed Wallace, Rip Hamilton, Ben Wallace, Tayshaun Prince, and quite a few solid role players too. So, unless you can find and develop a superstar player in the mid 1st, you have to tank to get back to being a respectable team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jay could have played the game of his life and they probably wouldn't have won. Giving up 300 yards on the ground and 47 points on defense doesn't usually result in wins. Jay didn't play well, but I think it's fair to say he didn't get enough help. McCown had a 115 passer rating against the Vikings and only scored 20. Something doesn't add up there. His two TDs were a 46 yard TD by Jeffry (ridiculous catch) and an 80 yard TD by Jeffry. He can move the sticks pretty well because he's patient and doesn't mind checking down. He won't lose you many games with bad throws, but he won't win you many with his throws either. With how bad the Bears defense is they need a guy that can win you a game with his arm.

With how bad the Bears defense is they need a guy that can win you a game with his arm. No, Jay couldn't have won the game. But the d score was worse by our 3 and outs. And really the issue and why I'm so annoyed by his play was this was a game we knew the offense could not get behind schedule. Yet they came out with three and outs and bad throws and drops. And worse is when Jay gets behind it brings out bad Jay so easily. He holds onto the ball longer, he starts firing ball to Marshall in double coverage, he gets sacked and fumbles from both of these. Basically if we fall behind by more than 10 he ditches the offense. But you are right, McCown uses our offense to work the ball up and down the field beautifully. But his lack of arm kills us in red zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
