Systems of Football: The All-Purpose Bears Game Thread

[Saul Goodman]

In case "Epic Butthurt" isn't the blog for you, here's a new Bears blog, coming soon. 

Already some terrific content.



LOL

I was going to post the exact same thing.

Good.  The more that GIF is posted, the better.  Thank you.

Trestink is terrible. :0(

If any part of their reasoning to kick the field goal before 4th down is to get a second chance at it if there's a bad snap, why do they have a roster spot devoted to a long snapper? Mannelly never fucks up a snap, so there is even less reason to kick early.

And as pointed out on Boers & Bernstein yesterday, if there WAS a bad snap and they had to fall on the ball at, say, the 40, they'd be out of field goal range on 3rd down.

I think we just need to chalk this up to Trestman shitting his culottes and hope he learns from it.

Devil's avocado here, Larry. Taking that into account, kicking the try on 2nd down does at least make more sense than doing it on 3rd down, as you'd still have a down to gain some of that back before kicking it on 4th, right?

Still dumb... so dumb.

Let's chalk it up to a learning experience and wait to see if he does it again.

Or let's just not watch the Bears until next year. Either way.

I've tried and I just can't not watch. The trainwreck took it's time to materialize but the engineer is snoozing at long last.

And...

If Cutler returns and puts 400, 4 and 0 up against the Cowboys AND they give the mic to Ditka so he can go, "BAABABBBABBABAAAAABBBAAA....111!!!!!!!" at halftime, I'm back in.

I was honestly hoping Trestman would say "I had a CFL flashback, thought we only had 3 downs, and it won't happen again." I'd have accepted that over just about anything he's said.

Either way I feel bad for screaming in front of a bunch of Minnesotans who were utterly appalled by my profanity that he should took "take his fucking genius ass back to Canada". I'm not well.

I mentioned it in the shoutbox, Eli, therefore it is impermissible on Desipio.

There's a thread around here that gets bumped when stuff like this happens. But the important thing to know is whether or not TDubbs is impressed with Yeti's assholish behavior.
