Lovie Smith was totally scapegoated here, by an incompetant GM. - groiny Jan 3, 11:00 13
- I think this GM has been good so far, but he was hamstrung by Angelo for years. I still think firing Lovie was a mistake though. - pmb Jan 3, 11:13 7
  - complete mistake. but the defense is getting older, and you have to figure they are gonna take a step back. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 11:20 1
    - Maybe. They've done a really nice job replenishing the defensive line. Their second unit there is ready to step up. The safeties are young. - pmb Jan 3, 11:28
  - I am amazed that if Green Bay had beaten Minnesota, we would be describing Chicago as a dangerous team rather than talking about Lovey's firing. -- nm - David Jan 3, 11:18 4
    - I think there's a reasonable chance that if they were one and done that he still would have gotten fired, but it's definitely not certain. Firing him - pmb Jan 3, 11:25 3
      - He had one year left on his contract right? I don't see why you don't do the OL upgrade and give it one. Esp with aging DEF -- nm - oblique2013 Jan 3, 11:26 2
        
        Completely agree. It's just not unusual for a new GM to want to choose his own coach. Which is why it would have made more sense last year. - pmb Jan 3, 11:31 1
        
        exact;y it. He was unliked by most fans because he was so low key. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 11:32
- Arizona and Chicago's constant refusal to fix their offensive lines is sickening. -- nm - David Jan 3, 11:02 2
  - the thought was, get rid of Greg Olsen for a better blocking TE to fix the problems with the OL. - groiny Jan 3, 11:05 1
    - I agree with your last inside sentence -- nm - crash davis Jan 3, 11:35

  - I think that "lightly" is the part that gets me -- nm - prayformojo Jan 3, 11:13 2
    - Too much cheese and they'll burn! -- nm - spamlet Jan 3, 11:19 1

LIR: Halo: I wonder how well the gameplay in the video translates to big team? We hardly ever play Slayer -- nm - oblique2013 Jan 3, 10:56 25
- well, no. we hardly ever play slayer when you are on, - tRuMaN 24601 Jan 3, 10:57 19
  - until we play more 4 on 4 games with all ST'ers. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 11:00 16
    - which i am sure is always not fun for the 4 people playing on the other team from me. -- nm - tRuMaN 24601 Jan 3, 11:02 15
      - Preying on the weak never worries the strong. -- nm - David Jan 3, 11:13 10

        I'm always looking for you. Feel free to look me in the eye any time rather than planning a backstab. -- nm - David Jan 3, 11:21 8

        well, sure, i am just backing up my teammates. -- nm - tRuMaN 24601 Jan 3, 11:35 5
        
        As the best player on your team, shouldn't you go in first and let them clean up the kills? -- nm - David Jan 3, 11:38 3
        
        honestly, i dont know. - tRuMaN 24601 Jan 3, 11:52 1
        
        It's relatively easy to remedy. -- (link) - oblique2013 Jan 3, 11:57
        
        On Slayer, I'd think the best player should be leading the charge, calling out enemies, etc. On big team, I'd expect the opposite - oblique2013 Jan 3, 11:42
        
        *operation truman shield* nm -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 11:37
      - I don't mind. Honestly, because it's slayer there is far less of me dying the moment I step out of cover. I'd much rather get taken down 1:1 against - oblique2013 Jan 3, 11:04 1
        
        *ding* -- nm - Spawn Jan 3, 11:14

      - I guess I meant do they ever play big team like they were playing Slayer in the video - oblique2013 Jan 3, 11:18 1
