Bears & NFL Talk 70

Brown having a pretty rough last 24 hours

Shouldn't have opened his mouth and fired up Vikes and clearly Philly wasn't happy with him for that nor his performance

Heard a clip today stating Bears should go after O.J Howard, not a horrible idea since the Bears still do not have a TE worth a damn and Howard is not being utilized at all by Arians. I'm sure Tampa would want at least #2 or #1 picks which I would not part with. Maybe they get desperate.

Bears don't even utilize the TE they do have, so why waste draft capital on another TE that won't use?

Cause the TE's suck or the QB's? H

Saints D has been playing real well since Brees got hurt. I think mitch comes out firing and proves to the world why he was the #2 overall.

Saints 15
Bears 13

Burton is healthy, no? He was very good last year but for some reason they aren’t even looking his way this year.

I think I read Bears TE’s have 15 or so targets on the year.

I looked after posting that and Burton has more targets and receptions than I’d have guessed. Albeit that’s still not made by, but it seems we hardly ever use him.

Maybe it seems that way because plays aren’t designed around him like last year and he’s basically a check down option?

Between this and your Cutler takes, I can't tell if your trolling or what...
So basically you think Mitch is going to prove he is a franchise QB by getting 1 Offensive TD? Or 2 TD with a failed 2 pt conversion. While the saints score 1 TD, 2FG's and a Safety?

You would think the TE is a safer, easy option for Mitch or Chase. I’m not sure Burton is entirely healthy

No kidding.

And yeah who knows. I haven’t noticed him enough on the field to have a guess one way or another, but maybe that’s all the more evidence to him being injured.

Although isn’t hernia recovery pretty cut and dry?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

What a pathetic end to this game

Refs are a f***ing disgrace

Handed the Packers a W

 

[clydesdale line]

That was a terrible call and it's going to cost Detroit the game.

 

[Bedarded]

Lions fans have been having it rough this season... Lolol

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

League puts the Packers at 5-1

League wants Rodgers in playoffs

 

[AmericanDream]

f*** both these teams..couldn't care less who won honestly..

 

[Ace Rothstein]

Turned the MNF game on right after the Hawks ended to see that blown call. NFL is unwatchable with the state of officiating, barely tuning in these days for non-Bears games.

 

[Bedarded]

**** both these teams..couldn't care less who won honestly..

It would help the Bears if the division leading Packers accumulated another loss

 

[Backyard Hockey]

People have been saying that the NFL and officials are slanted to prop up GB

The failure to call multiple holding calls against Mack in the opener proved the point.

Tonite absolutely down. Marvin Jones gets mugged. Then the phantom hands to the face to decide the game.

The NFL is an absolute joke.

 

[ClydeLee]

Always say it was a bad move by so many fans and media caving about that replacement refs call. That's the one time there was a chance to strong arm Ref unions to make them actually have to work year round and find ways to stop these terrible call problems but it goes on with no solutions ever in sight.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

I just cannot get over the blatant officiating fix

There is no one who can convince me that wasn’t a fix

It was beyond embarrassing for the NFL.

 

[TLEH]

The NFL has put the refs in terrible spots. Their rule book is too large. Too many things are penalties.

I can’t chalk it up to bad officiating. That was a fix pure and simple.

the missed PI.

Then the two illegals hands calls on Flowers - who had never been called for one in his career. One on a 3rd and 5 sack. The other to end the game.

I am disgusted.

The NFL fixed the outcome of the game via the refs. There is no doubt in my mind.
