the bears got it down to about the three yard line with maybe like 1:29 left and the pack had their one timeout & instead of letting them score a td the packers D keeps the bears out of the end zone until the clock gets to 8 seconds or whatever and robbie gould hits a glorified extra point

yeah tbqh i was certain the pack was setting up to let someone just dive into the end zone.

gotcha.
i was watching highlights at noon and am trying to figure out if the packers ever gave tauscher help on peppers? he obv could not handle julius on his own.

yeah, that was embarrassing

All the talk before the season about the Bears being unwise to spend all that money on Julius Peppers seems pretty foolish now.

Aside from running back a punt and throwing a TD there's pretty much nothing Peppers didn't do on the field.

double negative ahoy, oof

xp true but he'll still drive them crazy with semi-regular no-shows
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 28 September 2010 17:26 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah if anything the peppers signing will blow up in their faces potentially down the line or over the course of a few years if he no-shows a bunch -- right now is v much the honeymoon period

it's always worth keeping an eye on someone who draws "hey look, he's actually playing hard!!" articles in the third game of the season

You guys would know more than I would since I only watched him every once in awhile on the Panthers, but it would not surprise me if one of the reasons he slacked a bit was because he was on a shitty team, a la Randy Moss. Before the Panthers fell apart he seemed like a total badass. Now he's playing on what seems like a good team, playing along with some guys he has to be accountable to and a coach maybe he respects a little more ... also, even his worst seasons in Carolina he was a disruptive force, and the Bears didn't really have that. If he draws double teams it will make it easier for Urlacher and Briggs to roam. I think he makes that defense a lot better.

the panthers have never been worse than 7-9 since he's been there, and had three seasons of 11+ wins. you might be right, but this is not a moss on the raiders thing.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 28 September 2010 17:46 (thirteen years ago) link
They were pretty dang bad last year, 7-9 notwithstanding.
― funky house skeptic (polyphonic), Tuesday, 28 September 2010 18:00 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, and they were pretty damn good the year before--peppers' reputation did not suddenly appear last year.

Peppers was also kind of banged up for a couple of years in Carolina, which was part of the reason his production slid down a bit.
