Eagles @ Bears

[zoneblitzer31]

Disappointed that the Bears lost but give the Eagles some credit as they are the defending Super Bowl Champions.

Also , the Bears ( and Eagles) couldn't run the ball.

Game situation aside, Howard needs twenty plus touches to be successful and ten carries for 35 yards is pedestrian at best !

 

[PC Dad_MC Grad]

Parkey has 4 million guaranteed coming to him next season. He'll be in camp next year to collect. Expect the Bears to keep him around next year unfortunately because nobody will take on that contract so their going to get what they can out of him.

Pay him his undeserved money and sit his *** on the bench. Sign that high school kid who kicked 50 yarders this past year. Where was he from?

I believe that kid played at WWS

 

[Wassup13_rivals219252]

I would have felt at least a little better after the missed kick if the Bears announced after the game they were bringing the HoneyBears back next year.

 

[evanston1]

The GHOST of Robbie Could kicked us right in the ***! smh.
Parkey....should have never still even been on 5he roster. Too inconsistent. Bears paid a price for it.
Respect teammates comments, but like Sports center commentators stated, he has to make the kick.

 

[Wassup13_rivals219252]

We win this game if...

The Bears pick Mahomes like I always said they should have

OR

If the DC had some Buddy Ryan blood in him and moved Mack around so he could get to the QB in the playoffs like Marshall, Singletary and Wilson always did in the playoffs

OR

It's Chicago. You win in the playoffs by establishing the running game. Give our big guy 15 carries

OR

We traded away 3 draft picks moving up one spot in the draft. Could use all those draft picks for kickers to find the best one before the season started.

 

[ramblinman_rivals165935]

Parkey changes his middle name to F’ing.

Cody F’ing Parkey

Nah, I think he just changes his first name to Doink.

[markmacaluso]

To me, this is equivalent to a major league outfielder dropping a routine fly ball that would have otherwise won a playoff game, but resulted in a loss and elimination. There is absolutely no excuse. None.

They have to get rid of this guy regardless of the $.

What was extra annoying was Parkey joining a prayer circle after the game. I considered it to be a slap in the face to the fans and his teammates. Note after one of his earlier grand clinkers, he said, in effect, that what was most important was that he was right with God. I don't think God cares if he makes it or not.

His concentration should have been on how he messed up so royally. He should pray in private. How many of you pray at the office at the end of the day ... or the job site?

We both agree he should be gone next year....but...

Why are you so threatened by people that publicly show their religious convictions? Do you feel the same way about Muslims? Jews? Buddhists?

I'm not a devout Catholic and I don't go to church every Sunday. I don't think religious views should be forced on anyone and I do not want religion involved in government. That said, I am perplexed at the vitriol directed at public figures who happen to pray or thank God for the successes (or failures as an opportunity to learn and grow).

Yeah I get your point but I'm hoping they just eat the 4 million and move on. I don't want to watch him trot out there with a critical game on the line again.

People always complain when a guy has success and thanks God, who knew they would also complain when a guy fails and thanks God.

The fans take these loses way worse then the players, to most of them this just their job and win or lose they still get paid.

I agree and it really should be that way. If these players were as emotionally invested as us fans, they'd be basketcases.

Hardly vitriol.

I don't care if anyone prays or not, but this public display of piety is phony.

Again, do you pray in a group at the office, or store, or anywhere after work? If you did, your co-workers would probably be leary of you.

These players are saying that the game doesn't matter as long as they're alright with God. In effect, it's OK if they played poorly and lost, as long as they mumble some words and hold hands. Again, God doesn't care who won.

This is somewhat reminiscent of congressmen who say that gun violence victims are in their "thoughts and prayers," but they don't do anything to end the violence. Or those bishops meeting in Mundelein last week -- not to create policy, but to "pray and fast." The fasting only lasted one day. Meanwhile, little kids are still being raped. They're the ones who don't have a prayer.

BTW, I am a semi-practicing Catholic.

Maybe the are praying that they are healthy afterwards since it’s just game and life goes on win or lose? You can be critical of them praying all you want but you know had he made the FG you wouldn’t have started a thread complaining about it.

 

[go dogz]

Parkey scored more points than the Offense and the new found hero QB. Just saying also the NFL has no idea when it comes to rule interpretation/s. And last but not least, is a too small tablet the best choice to determine these replays by placing them in a cardboard box? Bring back the hood!

alot of plays make up a game.
the defense giving up 16pts = b- (could not stop when counted on) great game otherwise
the offense scoring 15pts = c+ (scored when needed kept game close and manageable, and final drive for a winnable game)
play calling: d, not enough running the ball and clock management.

the problem: not teaching the rules to your players.
totally on nagy and staff, miller does not even try to pick the ball up. unacceptable d-, grade for coaching staff and player execution.

and I do not want to hear anyone saying, they thought it was incomplete. everytime someone drops a pass near the line of scrimmage they pounce on the ball, everytime someone sees a ball ripped out someones hands they pounce on the ball.
he could have simply picked up the ball just to throw it to the ref and walked into the endzone(touchdown) at very least bears ball.
but for him to not even believe he caught the ball and get frustrated and pout back to the huddle and most importantly the staff not signaling to someone to pick up the ball. unacceptable.

heads up, it is a promising next year..
draft needs: priority
2 wr, tall strong hands fast,
2 olinemen, depth
2 or 3 ss, fs, cb for depth.

 

[go dogz]

I believe that kid played at WWS

go find
the kid that kicked 59yds in all-American game.
a guy that can drop kick the ball for 53yds. that is impressive.
how about just finding somebody that can kick consistently.

If he hadn't missed, it wouldn't have been shown. I haven't seen one of those displays in a while.

Probably one of the few times I pray in public is at a restaurant before eating a meal with my family. Just a quick prayer of thanks for being blessed with the means to enjoy the meal and a healthy family to share it with. I work with plenty of Muslims who have a dedicated place to pray at our work each day. No one feels weird about that. It's just a normal part of life now.

If I were to notice anyone (Christian, Jew or Muslim) praying at the office, store or anywhere in public I think my reaction would be to show them some respect by being careful not to interrupt their peaceful moment of reverence.

I also respect those who are agnostic or atheist for not praying or following an organized religion.

BTW...You decided to post these goofy left wing comments without any provocation or solicitation. So I'll share my assessment. I think your liberalism maybe be blinding you to your own intolerance of others. Now, I will await your inevitable response telling me how I'm completely misunderstanding your rather obvious discomfort with public prayer (presumably only by Christians) and apparently current gun laws not being strict enough for your liking.

I was already exposed to your political stance a while ago when you were encouraging high school students to take a knee during the national anthem so I'm not really surprised that you decided to inject your random dose of liberal ideology into this thread. But hey, it's a free country and I embrace free speech so whatever floats your boat.

I get it and would not complain ever.
but, some of these progressive socialists, could throw a tizzy and a hissy fit and end up spoiling your meal with your family.

but, the work place is just wrong simply because of the separation of church and state laws.
now, if they are going to allow muslims to pray at work, why not Christians??
why do coaches get fired for praying on the field etc etc. because it is a few squeeky wheels that get the grease.

 

[markmacaluso]

Just FYI...I don't work for the government so prayer in the workplace is up to the private company to determine on their own. There is no application for separation of church and state in a privately owned business. Most private companies have policies and guidelines that describe what, where and when prayer is allowed.

 

[crusader_of_90]

Non-sequester: My new boss, who is Jewish, took off more time during Christmas week than I did!

But he came to the office Christmas Eve in a Santa suit and handed out goodies.

 

[MC63]

I think your liberalism maybe be blinding you to your own intolerance of others.

Boy, you really got a few things stuck in the wringer.

The only people I'm intolerant to are bullies ... especially phony Christians and irresponsible gun people. ("Those dead children are in oudr thoughts and prayers.")

However, we're veering over into the political sector, so I'd better stop now.

We can pray for each other.

I wonder who appointed you the judge of genuine versus phony Christians?

And you seem to be confusing people who don't agree with enacting even more restrictive gun ownership laws than already exist with those people that possess guns and either don't lock them up or that don't obey the gun laws that do exist. Criminals and negligent idiots tend not to follow the law no matter how strict it may be.

[Gene K.]

What we need are judges to enforce the laws on the books, in Crook County. Not unusual for people with long criminal rap sheets to just get a slap on the hands with little or no jail time. Used to go to gun court with 5-6-or 7 guns as a young PO and the usual result of $25.-$50 fine. In a couple of cases the judge gave the gun back to the offender. If the state legislators were serious about gun laws they would make the unlawful use of weapons a class one felony wherein the arrestee would have to serve a minimum of one year (no probation, no fine, actual time served) for the first offense. 2nd offense for that charge would be a mandatory 5 year sentence (same scenario).

Those legislators where these shooting incidents are happening would crap a brick before they would even think about mandatory sentences for gun offenders. Hence the problem will continue as there is no posse heading in that direction.

We need tougher laws on committing a crime with a gun and related types of offenses. Pretty much right on the button otherwise. the other part is the arsenal flowing in from Indiana.

Does Parkey play for Alabama too?

 

[Bwm57]

How ‘bout them Bears??

 

[markmacaluso]

Lol. Saw that and thought the same thing.

Are the making uprights wider these days?

 

[CCL65]

Back to the game for a bit. Hey if before the game started I told you that Parky would have four FG attempts with the last one tipped at the line, and he would still have to make all four or the Bears loose, would you still pick them?
Here’s an idea, make first down, convert a third down when the game is on the line. Nope. Three and out for minus one yard and a muffed 36 yard punt. Defense back out on the field with no break
Game over

 

[markmacaluso]

This is a really entertaining national championship game. Clemson is impressive.

 

[markmacaluso]

Second doink of the night on a PAT. The curse of Cody Parkey is alive and well.

 

[Kevin JCHS 81]

If you just have not seen it enough yet.

 

[go dogz]

But with better laws, we could lock them up.

with the current laws on the books, we could lock them up for a very long time.
and with the laws on the books that felons cannot possess guns, we can sweep and lock them up. forget about the phony bring in your gun no questions asked and get a $100.
start sweeping known gang members, drug dealers and associates, and bust them everyday all day.
gun violence will go down 85%. start locking up these teens that believe they can run the streets and beat people with no repercussions. they know now that they can get away with anything, no hard time. because everyones afraid of being sued for speaking up against them and hurting feelings.
because the socialist have hand locked the only organization that represents a threat to them.
LAW ENFORCEMENT! is the key.

They should consider giving the team 2pts. If a kick hits the cross bar.
