I thought Monte Kiffin was the DC in Dallas?

I hear what yo're saying and did ask the same question. Seriously, thinking between Chicago and GB I had to ask which one would last longer in the playoffs? Not sure either would advance past the first round. BUT...then I say, strange things tend to happen in the playoffs. Teams that aren't supposed to win, sometimes do. Arizona just beat the "unbeatable at home" Seahawks this last weekend. Chicago beat GB (IN GREEN BAY and WITH A BACK UP) this year. When was the last time THAT happened? Applying the same thought process when Tennyson wrote: "Tis better to have lost at love than to never have loved" I'd say, I'd rather see the team win to get in the playoffs and take their chances rather than not even try.

Thanks Uncle Buck. Right back at ya! Cheerio and huzzah Daventry! This board certainly has its share of characters and that is what makes it so entertaining. All my best to all of you.

I know, I used to get all worked up about fantasy football. Got into many an arguement with co-workers, friends etc about all kinds of silly things. Then as time wore on and other worldly things loomed larger, I realized this is just entertainment. This an opportunity for us to rib each other about how sucky our teams are or woeful our choices are. With me, it was just plain dumb luck...but sweet nonetheless. All my best to you in the coming year. Here's to 2014!

What is funny is that despite all the silliness that occured early on with the seaon and how some of YOU took offense to the mid-season trade I was a part of, I still won. I WAS Da Boars yes, and I'm sure it isn't "any big deal" especialy since you didn't win. Had you it would've been a different story perhaps. But don't worry, as I said previous I'll step down so that you'll have a better chance at winning next year. You're welcome. Happy Holidays to all. Please enjoy this precious time with your families and if you must travel...do it safely.

You're welcome. I posted in the league about 'crow for dessert'. I have some left if you'd like? Seriously, it was an intriguing run and what's more I apparently don't take it as serious as some. Especially given the midseasion bashing I got for the "colluding trade". Figure I'll step down for next year to allow someone else the shot at Fantasy excellence. And it's good to go out at the top of the sport. Been fun. Happy holidays !

"Six one, half dozen the other", 'catch-22' ... Whatever the idiom, Trestman and Emery have their work cut out for them. Do you pay Cutler the money he "deserves" as a Franchise QB and skimp on the D or dump him and save money to invest in what is obviously a gaping hole right now? As I pointed out previous, I feel that the team needs to start Cutler on. Sunday against the Packers. Not because he is the better QB right now, but because (potentially) he could be for the longer run. Do I think McCown is capable of 'caretaker status' until either a draft pick or a trade (like Cousins ) are able to take over? Most undoubtedly 'yes'. In my mind option 2 is slightly better than the first . We'll have to wait to see what the "professionals" think.

I won't echo all of what Adam has said because I agree mostly to his points. Cutler certainly did no favors for the team last night. He looked and played lackluster. Yes there were some other issues to overcome (poor punt and Hester fumble) but when he had the ball he didn't show/exhibit a sense of urgency. Now keep in mind, many of you consider him the "franchise QB" and last night he fell far short. Now the question is; does the team let him play next week to "prove himself" and risk missing the playoffs or go with the "hot hand" in McCown? For the future of the franchise I say Cutler.

I swears if McCown is more efficient and is able to score I will not say another thing nice about Jay....ever

We'll at least Jay is targeting other receivers now. Unfortunately they are in green but whatever.

Yup and you are a wizard.

Welcome. Good to see you.

True. Nicely said.

Good job Jay. Hold onto that ball. Dont want to throw it downfield. Brandon must not have been open.

Yep . Sounds good. We need to get a better draft position. Sheesh.

So if I get this right before you and Cracker dog wanted to count receptions and not "targets "? But now you'll consider it? And where has it got the team? Jay has been playing lights out.

He should throw to the FIRST open receiver he sees, not hope Marshall will work open. At least he remembered that AJ can play too.

What?!? A 50 yd FG in 1st down?!??? No?!?!?!!!!!!!

Gonna run outta time because Jay stands there looking downfield forever.

There are other frickin receivers on the field Jay!

Talk about being 'dopey'. Targets SHOULD count (since BM had the majority) because two of those 'non-sensical targets' resulted in INTs. Receptions are only counted if they are CAUGHT by the offense. And for the record BM did say there was a fair amount of "chatter" amongst fellow Bears players before last week's game about Cutler starting over McCown. Something about Cutler throwing a bunch of INTs during practice. Or which "professionals" were you referring to? At the end of the day if Jay steps up and doesn't pull a. Mr Hyde these last two weeks then things will be fine....if not, the "dopes" will be back.

Me too . I'm hopeful that both Detroit and GB falter today. I don't have the faith that Cutler has "bought in" as many here hope. And I fear he'll look crappy today and Trestman won't pull him. But that's just me being pessimistically optimistic.

Ryan is a complete and utter ass. Tucker hasn't had much to work with this year. He should get one more chance at it (3-4?) then we'll see. At least he came out of the press box. Thanks for doing that Mel.

Hmmm..... 84-66 overall record, 3 NFC North championships and a Super Bowl appearance. My how "horrible". Good luck Lovie wherever you end up.

So, since this appears to be based on this years performance, I wonder where Josh would compare? Especially in the salary department.
