At What Point?
I don’t really want to talk too much about yesterday’s thrashing we received at the hands of the Bengals. Did you see Ded Ced? Wow. How about that Bear D? Ugh. Note that Thomas Jones had another good game yesterday. … Continue reading

Thomas Jones ran for 210 yards last Sunday. He looks great. “Ded” Ced Benson is having an outstanding year with the Bengals. And we don’t even need to talk about the resurgent Broncos and their new field general, Kyle Orton. … Continue reading

Yards After Catch and Turner
One of the constant themes of this blog is how the Bears offense refuses to throw the ball downfield (especially now that we have a QB that can actually do it well). The other item that drives us crazy is … Continue reading

Standards
I really let Mike Shultz have it in my last post, for many good reasons. I don’t have anything against the guy on a personal level. But the fact of the matter is that the Illini offense is so bad … Continue reading
