Bearstalk

To the "TalkBears" family, all my best during this Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Holidays. Hopefully this finds you all where you want to be in life and spending it with those who mean the most to you. Like in real families there are squabbles and disagreements. So is true here at the Talk Bears forum. I find myself, as I age, that my patience grows thin and I tend to spout off as if suddenly striken by Tourettes. Whatever the case may be it is clear we all love (that too strong a word?) our team. I am thankful that they are currently 7-3. I am hopeful they continue to win more than lose. After this year will my, Jason's or Brian's opinions matter? …

Reports are, apparently the 49'ers got into his head on Monday, and today he got a demotion. Supposedly he couldn't handle it and quit the team. Lol. And no I'm not making this up This marks the 2nd player to quit the team this year. Remember Devin Thomas abruptly left in Training camp because he was sick of football. Sean Jensen ‏@seankjensen The 49ers knew how to "get in his head," a source told me about Chilo Rachal, who gave up 1 sack, 1 hurry & committed 2 holding penalties Expand Reply Retweet Favorite And Vaughn says vaughn mcclure ‏@vxmcclure23 According to multiple sources, Chilo Rachal became upset after being demoted for Chris S…

Reported as arthroscopic but no details on severity yet. Is he headed for IR? Offense is headed from bad to worse. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,3093433.story

http://deadspin.com/5934440/the-circadian-...rtain-nfl-teams Heard this brought up on the radio today, and found it to be a bit of mind blowing information. To give you the skinny, basically, the Circadian rhythm deals with our body temperature and overall alertness level based on the time of day. How is this relevant? Well, Stanford University did a study with NFL Monday Night Football games, when a West Coast team is matched up against an East Coast team, and over the last 25 years, the teams out West have won an astounding 63% of the time by an average of 2 TOUCHDOWNS. What's more, the team out west beat the spread 70% of the time! The West Coast teams dominated t…

It's really hard to use this site on a smart phone. Hey admins, have you ever thought about making a TalkBears app?

Sure looked like it... I'm worried.

I was in Vegas for that debacle and just got home. Thankfully, I only threw away $15 in bets on that turd sandwich. I sense the frustration on this board and in the fans I ran into this Monday. I am right there. So many here have pointed out OL is a problem. Here's what I walk away from this game with... 1. Disapointment. Yet again, on the grand stage we managae a performance that is truly embarassing. We didn't belong on the same field as SF on Monday. It doesn't matter really what the cause was. it just was. We looked out classed top to bottom. Yet again. Last time it was GB, this time SF. Any big game, big stage..plan for it. We will sh&…

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,3093433.story Damn, can't stay on the field. Hopefully this is not a chronic thing or he will be a bust.

At least that is who I thought I saw on tv... I have seen threads on here saying if we don't win the title game or superbowl lovie and the staff should be fired... well I will say this acc... epting mediocrity is unacceptable!!! Our defense has held this team up by the jock strap for urlachers entire career and throughout lovies coaching tenure and anyone who thinks that without lovie the defense would have not been good is crazy in fact I beg to differ that it could have been better... lovie holds this team back from his poor preperations for the team to the poor game plan and to the poor in game adjustments and the poor challenge record... he needs to go after this year…

If they fail to make the playoffs, the entire coaching staff should be dismissed. This Vikings game is huge. Peace

Looks like Forte and Marshall got into a dust-up on the sideline. If that was Cutler in that minor whatever-you-call-it, everyone would be calling him a whiny douche.

I wonder if people still think the OL should be ignored...

How f'ing pathetic. We have played three teams with winning records (outside colts) and gotten embarrassed.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-sat...480--ncaaf.html I know, I know, I decry the very idea of "mock drafts" but just finished reading the referenced Sports Illustrated article about the QB for the currently #1 ranked Wildcats. Base on it he seems he would be a fantastic pick for a town like Chicago. And "they" are expecting him not to go early on drafts... So why not? Please don't tell me "we need OL help".

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/texans-lb-dob...13170--nfl.html They only got one of the calls right. Look at all the times Eli and Romo are further "across" the LOS

Hear me out... I was driving to work today thinking about how poor the production from every other WR has been. There is no doubt that Cutler has zeroed in on Marshall to the point of ignoring other WRs and forcing it into multi-player coverage on Marshall, but how has it really affected the other players who get significant receptions? Forte is significantly down (on pace for 38 rec). Sanz is significantly down (on pace for 2 rec. Hester is even (on pace for 26 rec). Davis is very slightly down (on pace for 19 rec). Bennett is slightly up (on pace for 29 rec). I know Knox's numbers last year and Alshon's early season production this year skew thin…

Looks like insurance... Smells of Cutty out at least 1 week, if not 2 as Brian mentioned earlier.
