Maybe its my memory but it SEEMS there is more 'storylines' to be settled this last week than prior seasons. Sure most of the playoff spots are spoken for but there is still at least one playoff still up for grabs....NFC SOUTH, IIRC. Winning team will end up with 7 wins, I think, matching a previous...

UH-OH, had an exciting MNF game.... Whats next is a passionate Jay Cutler going to lead the Bears to a 40 point win this weekend, with him making a few tackles on special teams? :wink: Missed a lot of the game actually.... Like to get caught up on all the day2day stuff before Christmas. Caught most ...

My last day at work before the 'day' is tomorrow....

Well done Blitz..... Merry Christmas to all Lionbackers and Happy New Year... heres to an awesome 2015

Yup that Wilson TD run late in the game was INSANE! Cards hung aroud far too long in the game. Game was already OVER, IMO, when he took his one in but fun to watch....

Thanks for posting WCJ...... Foreman really is AMAZING, as is Ali, IMO..... True with lots of sports too. Mosca/Kapp? Sure, still sore so long afterwards but often I think these sports guys end up realizing that even if their adversary WON more than they did, both are well defined by the battles the...

Helping someone move from one apartment to another so missed all the NFL save for the last half of the Sunday Nighter. It was easy to watch even though AGAIN, it was not a close one. R.Wilson threw quite a few BEAUTIFUL balls to L.Wilson. Lobs actually but RIGHT ON for nice plays. One was a huge 2&a...

Have to agree South P, the Thursday Nighter does look like a dog BUT...... there have been some AWESOME looking games on paper this season for the various 'NIGHTERS' that were dogs once they got played. This game maybe worth watching although nothing will really be riding on it save for a team who w...

Yes considering how the pool looked, IMO, Buono did quite well.... Looking forward to seeing an offensively minded Head Coach next season......

Best wishes to Jacques. Always gracious and accessible to the fans, in my experience. :thup: Thats how I see it too... I've griped a bit about his designs but certainly respect the person. What worries me now is he going to design some fearsome offence that will terrorize the CFL for years to come?...

What concerns me about the Bears is the percieved lack of effort. Why would people be willing to risk that?

Last Thursday Nighter tomorrow night......

Happy for JC and looking forward to Tedford (if he's the choice)......

.....Gruden’s name will still be thrown in the mix for any number of head coaching vacancies in the future. However, the new deal would seem to eliminate him from contention for any openings this offseason, including his former job in Oakland. I never saw why he'd want to return to the Raiders. I g...

One thing about Chaps. I get that he has a reputation, perhaps earned and/or unearned by various sources. My personal experience was nothing but positive. Certainly polite and friendly. Not super friendly. I'm just saying cordial. And, IMO, it wasn't 'fake'. Some guys come off all friendly and nice ...

I still think part of it is leaders in the lockerroom too. Urlacher WOULD have been a great guy to have for another season, IMO. He MAY be the type of 'vocal leader' needed. Having a 'soft' (not doing enough discipline) MAY hurt him in terms of future NFL gigs.... Guess we'll see. I always think of ...

I like both games (NFL & CFL). At the same time there are obvious differences. Trestman ended up doing well, IMO, up here but it took some brainfarts during the early part of that first season. At first look considering how much struggles we've had getting D-line versus linebackers, one would th...
