If this game keeps going the way it is... it'll be the battle of two 0-3 teams in London Next Sunday...
always a good day when the Packers and Steelers lose
i do have to say Cutler looks like a SB QB these days and just last year fans wanted his head on a platter

I'm indifferent towards them as a team... Al is OK... Collinsworth could go away and I'd not miss him... I detest Joe Buck... and loathe Kenny Albert... and wish the NFL Network's Thursday Night game team could get some weekend gigs.So, tell me, sports fans... am I the only one who things the combination of Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth make up the absolute worst announcing team in the history of sports announcing?
Heck, I’d rather listen to Howard Cosell and my ex-wife... (and THAT's saying something!)

I agree. A big part of his improvement is Trestman. He’s got a rep of fixing QB issues... I’ve heard reports that the first thing he did was sit down with Cutler and show him film of every sack, every fumble and every INT from last season... and then went to work fixing what Trestman saw as the problem(s). Cutler is definitely improved this year... and, of course, so has the Bears OL. The combination of adding the 2 rookies (Long and Mills) and losing J'marcus Webb equals a tremendous upgrade there...
What in the world is going on in da Burgh?!

It's almost crazy to think the Dolphins might be a legitimate team this year

anyone taking the Raiders tonight?? lulz.
So who wants to debate the "franchise tag" scenario? You know, where your favorite team has a star player whose contract is up, but rather than work out an equitable contract to retain that player's services, they label him a "franchise player" and retain him for the upcoming season. His compensation is calculated by a formula devised by the NFL, the owners and the Players Association... then, based on how well he performs in the season, the team an player can do the dance all over again... or the player can sign with another team...
Personally, I think it?s incredibly unfair to the player who assumes ALL the risk. Rather than be able to negotiate on the free agent market for the best deal he can get, he?s stuck playing for a team who says they want to retain his services, but don?t want to pay him what the player thinks he?s worth - but at the same time said player is unable to test his value on the open market.
Why do I bring this up now? Reports this morning confirmed that Bears DT Henry Melton tore his ACL last night in the Steeler game. And guess what? Melton was carrying the Bears' franchise tag. So Melton gets surgery, is out the rest of the year... and will be lucky to even find a job next year. Will he be ready to play? Will he be able to play? Will he be able to earn anything close to what he would have gotten had he not gotten injured? In this scenario, the Bears rolled the dice and won. Except for Henry Melton, the dice came up 'snake eyes'.
