Thursday Night Open Thread: Bears at Dolphins

The injury situation looked dreadful for the Dolphins on Sunday, but they're in decent shape with two big exceptions. No. 3 QB Tyler Thigpen will get the start since Pennington and Henne are injured. While he did start some games for the Chiefs in 2008, that was a couple years ago. And LT Jake Long has a shoulder injury but could play through it. Their backup plan isn't any good according to the Phinsider, but the Dolphins do play a lot of max protection.
While the Bears come into this game with only one starter out, the short week will be tough on both teams.
The Dolphins are favored by 1.5 which is a sign the odds makers don't know what to think of this game.

Morning all!
Bears looking better than previous so far, annoyingly…
I just had a weird conspiracy theory thought
What if more holding penalties were going unflagged due to the hold in question saving a QB from getting mauled? I mean, a pure beast rush that would have resulted in a significant chance of injury to the story-makers in the NFL. If the hold was completely unnecessary (QB in the act of throwing when it occurs, f’rinstance), fine, we’ll throw the flag. But if the QB was saved from a potential bone-jarring hit, we’ll look the other way…
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
Interesting take.
I don’t think that is the case though. A player holds…they are going to call it. I don’t think they would try to predict whether the QB would get mauled or not.
by Bush League All Star on Nov 18, 2010 8:17 PM CST up reply actions
I'm not saying that it's necessarily true
But it fits in with the NFL’s general “protect the QB” mantra, and it explains a helluva lot of “Why didn’t that guy get flagged for holding the Claymaker?” comments.
My mind does strange things sometimes.

Good luck if you can keep it up
I worked with a guy who went tee-total for more than a decade. Fell off the wagon after his divorce, but he was such a cheap date that he never developed a problem with it. After being sober that long, he learned to be real careful after the first couple of times.

Very good reasons.
I waited until I was 21. It was a good choice considering some similarities in our families’ past. Just have to be responsible. You seem like you are a responsible young lad (though probably only 5 years my junior). Alcohol is not for everyone, and I would never pressure someone to do so. That was the hardest thing in college for me was the pressure from others.

I was a Reds fan back in the day of the Big Red Machine,
already, when I went to my first MLB game, in 1975, at Riverfront Stadium.
Pete Rose was 4 for 5 that game, with a walk off HR.
After the first 40 games, the Reds were 20-20.
Then, they moved Pete from LF to 3B and put George Foster in LF to get Foster’s bay in the lineup on an everyday basis, finished 108-54 and beat the Red Sox in one of the most classic WS ever.

In general, the difference between the good stuff and the bad stuff is enormous
When it comes to beer and spirits. Not so much with wine, though. You can find some very good deals on some extremely drinkable wines if you’re willing to look.
That’s not the case with liquor ’n beer, though. The cheap stuff is cheap for a reason

Completely different game if Miami had an actual NFL QB playing tonight.
Thigpen starting means they cheat up against the run, don’t fear the pass (and rightfully so), the Phins can’t hold the ball, so the Bears eventually wear the Phins down, and Bears fans act like this game proves something.
All the dropped picks don’t help either.

There's not much
Different commercials and certain sporting events are blacked out – that’s about it.

Nifty.
Is there a broadcast map of their coverage areas?

WGN Chicago is only on cable in the Chicagoland area
Or you can pick it up over the air.

And the local version is a CW affiliate (I think)
So WGNA shows syndicated shows while the local shows CW fare.

Minnesota Vikings!
Oh wait … I think Chris Gates wrote that subject line.
I didn't believe it last August, but it turns out that love survives.
Possibly hiking up Mount Marcy during the weekend of October 23-24. State high point count: 3/50

If Smith were smart he'd bench Cutler.
Cutler is the Phins only chance.

So another NFC Central team shuts out an AFC East team at home
Are we going to be forced to confront the fact that the Bears might actually be good?
Naaaaaaah.

Maybe.
But this game isn’t proof of that hypothesis. They aren’t playing an NFL offense.

So I was just about to write
“OMG! A broadcaster knows what a ‘hospital ball’ is!” but then my shit blue-screened.

Also, I just noticed a group of white people fighting outside my house
It’s mostly just yelling, but I’m waiting in anticipation for a punch to be thrown. It’ll be like Christmas came early.

Are you saying Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?
