Onward and upward!

Time to get your popcorn out!!!!

Sreiously, that plce has to be a ticking time bomb! There's more drama going on there than a season's worth of "Desperate Housewives"!

Well, on with the future!

I did not know that... Sorry to hash it up...

I hear ya! I have a good feeling Kyle will be with us for a long while...

Let's give him a whirl!

What happened to your arch nemesis? 88 dropped off the face of the earth. Did the Grossmans get evicted form Chicago or something? 88 had to have been a relative... Talk about a plate of crow getting cold waiting for it's rigthful customer!

Between Owens, Jones, and WIlliams, this Cowboys team is about ready to implode! Wait until Brad doesn't get TO the ball this week!

I tend to fall into the same... I call it cover 2, but it's our cover 2 version. But, whatever we choose to call it, it doesn't seem to be working as you mention. After watching all the game this and last year, sure sometimes the players don't execute, but I really don't think they are wisely put in position to do well. It is truly mind boggling that we get burned on the same things over and over. I swear I'm getting vision of Wayne Fontes... This team just does well enough to let the coaches keep their jobs. One game, we look like world beaters, then the next, we couldn't stop a pee wee team. I just think, again as you've pointed out, that it's won/lost at the line. We do tend to just bull rush and hope for the best. Sometimes our great athleticism,etc is all that's needed and we make plays. But if that can be curbed by an O Line, we struggle to garnish any pressure at all. To me, that's just not smart scheming.

Great stuff nfo! On a gut check, I thought he was doing well...but it's really interesting to see the stats all laid out. I wonder where he'd be at had we continued with him after his rookie season? But, oh well! At least he's in there now doing what needs to be done.

WOuld time expire for an 80 yard return?

Nice post!

Congrats!

Evidence seems to point to scheme...

I'm honestly not sure... Let's hope Beekman can get one spot at G, or C if you're thoughts are correct. I'd say 3 to go.

I'll never feel sorry for Minny... We need to play 60 min of football, or we can lose.

I think we also handled TB and Atlanta too...

All that money spent on players, and the putz calling the plays makes about $1.25 an hour... Time to ax Babich. If Lovie won't let him go, ax him too.

LOSERS: The Bears coaching staff The decision to squib the kickoff with 11 seconds remaining cost the Bears the game, plain and simple. What was with the soft zone in the secondary, allowing Michael Jenkins to catch a 26-yard pass to put Jason Elam in field-goal range? This is a team that could be 6-0 right now with some better coaching decisions. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=cr-w...o&type=lgns

Exactly. And that's without Strahan and Osymenora (sp?)

I know! I'm really not sure this is much of a loss!

NFL SUSPENDS METCALF Posted by Mike Florio on October 13, 2008, 5:38 p.m. The NFL has announced the suspension of Bears guard Terrence Metcalf for four games. Metcalf was suspended for violating the league’s policy regarding anabolic steroids and related substances. The suspension is effective immediately. Metcalf will be eligible to rejoin the team on Monday, November 17. Metcalf has appeared in each of the team’s six games in 2008, but he has started none of them. For his seven-year career, all of which has been spent with the Bears, Metcalf has 25 starts and 84 game appearances. http://www.profootballtalk.com/category/rumor-mill/

I'd tend to agree. However, I don't even reomtely see a pro bowl coach on this staff...and that includes Toub right now.

I think, at least most of us here, could care less what we call it. It ain't working right. Either these pro bowl calibur players arent playing it correctly, or the coordinator isn't calling the right plays. Bottom line, we are losing late game leads because this team cannot generate decent pressure on a fairly consistent basis. I think it's the coaching...
