OT: Bears & NFL Talk 77

[Blackhawkswincup]

And without those QB's its questionable if Walsh or BB ever amount to anything

This type of talk is pretty stupid overall honestly

Without Phil MJ never becomes 6x champ and GOAT , If not for MJ then Phil never becomes what he becomes , etc

Would Kane have won without Toews? Would Toews have won without Kane? Would Kane and Toews have won without Q?

Sometimes great athletes/coaches find a fit in each other that becomes unstoppable force

He is already overpaid as it is haha

Honestly I think that the answer is no to both. Both the coach and the QB needed each other. Neither guy would have been successful without the other.

I'm of the opinion that what makes both great coaches and great players as great as they are is the relationship between player and coach, and that both parties would have been significantly worse without that relationship. NBA is an exception as I think talent is talent there, but in other sports (especially football) there's a huge difference.

One of the greatest RBs ever. Wow.

Damn. RIP.

One of the best ever. "But he was stuck on a handful of middling-to-bad Bears teams and, like Dick Butkus, another Hall of Fame teammate selected in the same 1965 draft, he never played in the postseason." Gale Sayers, NFL legend and Hall of Fame Bears RB, dies at 77 | wnep.com.

RIP.
Did not have a good last few years.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

RIP to Sayers

Its amazing a team could have Sayers and Butkus both fully healthy and at peak but go 1-13 (1969 Bears)

 

[HeisenBaez]

RIP Legend. Say hello to Sweetness for us, my friend.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

If this is true, why aren’t defenders f***ing steamrolling through receivers “to play the ball” on every single play?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Bears place Nose Tackle John Jenkins on IR. Torn ligament in thumb, selected to miss several weeks. Bears sign Steelers practice squad lineman Daniel McCullers to take his place. 6’7 350. Mountain of a human.

.... NFL, can you pretend to care about this needless primetime series if you're going to keep it alive?

Right? Even with really good matchups, the Thursday night games are usually snooze fests.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Yeah, I'm expecting just to have background noise while I play Skyrim yet again with tonight's game.

These are the NFLN exclusive games, they're their strictly to boost subscribers. They stick the crummy AFC games there on purpose.

Starting in week 5 when FOX joins there's some good matchups:
Bears/Bucs
Chiefs/Bills
Giants/Eagles (bad teams, but high profile markets)
Packers/Niners
Ravens/Cowboys
Pats/Rams

I dropped NFL network (along with some other channels) this year to save a few bucks and haven't regretted the decision.

Anthony Miller saw less snaps than Javon Wims and Darnell Mooney last week.

After a gorgeous pass and sure TD went right through his hands, he was deserving of that.

Yep. I keep waiting for him to be really good, but he just, isn't.

Instead we watch a team like the Steelers get players like Juju and Diontae Johnson in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

Gallup went in the same draft as Miller and was one round later and was a thousand yard receiver.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Anthony Miller is basically Mark Bradley with better health

Going back to Mooney, though, I thought he had a pretty damn good game.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

He did

Going back for ball in endzone was what too many WR's dont do so it was nice to see kid do the right thing in that situation instead of letting ball come to him which usually ends up a pick by CB

I don't think Mark Bradley ever had a season with 4 100 yd games in a row or 7 TD.

If Miller was reasonably consistent he'd be in the same discussion as Robinson. He's that talented. I have no idea why he can't put a string of games together. He's incredibly frustrating.

Don’t forget the 3rd down he botched after that as well. I’m guessing that’s when he started to miss snaps.
