[CBFF] Hub's Insights

[Steve Behrens]

1)  I can't see where a game plan that leaving out the TE's, confesses that
they should not have had Davis as a fly receiver, and also confesses that
they should have gone for it instead of kick the FG.... rates an 'A-'

2)  The best defense in the NFL would have more QB pressures and a couple of
sacks.  I'm disappointed with the Bears defense, though they did an
outstanding job of allowing the points they did when Brady had the time
had.  If the lack of pressure continues, I fear the defense won't be as
fortunate

3)  I'll have to disagree with Tom's take regarding Briggs in that if that's
the only way we keep him, so be it.  We've gone a long time without using
the tag... I think the players know that the Bears play fair... and if they
put a fair price on the table and his a$$hole agent continues to play
hardball, then we slap him with the tag.  You cannot continue to give in to
his agent, otherwise, more and more players will sign with the prick and
just compound the situation.  You have to understand that Brigs, at this
point, is doing what his agent wants, not necessarily what Briggs
wants...Briggs is too busy concentrating on football. Why cant the team
occasionally be the one one says 'thins is your best option, and we're
making that decision for you' instead of the agent?  Trust me, if the Bears
continue to win games and eventually, the SB, Briggs won't be too unhappy
about the deal.
