coming off the largest winning margin from corse178's blog
LAKE FOREST, Ill. Dale Hunter Jersey . -- Brian Hoyers three straight 300-yard passing efforts suggest the quarterback position for the Chicago Bears is in good hands until quarterback Jay Cutler returns from a thumb sprain.Inconsistency in other areas continues to plague the Bears (1-4) following their 29-23 loss Sunday at Indianapolis.Linebacker Willie Young said coach John Fox addressed the issue in talking with players ahead of a home game Sunday against Jacksonville.Just to sum up his message to the team is that were so close, Young said. I guess every game, wins or losses, come down to a few plays. And to see how close we are is a lot of motivation to see that maybe if we can just avoid having this mistake, this offsides penalty, this dropped ball.Hoyers season passer rating climbed to 108.5 against the Colts, though he missed seeing wide receiver Alshon Jeffery open in the end zone on the Bears final offensive play, an incompletion. The Bears offense produced 522 yards, its most for a game since Mike Ditkas 1989 team. But the offense sputtered in the red zone with one touchdown in three tries.Wide receiver Cameron Meredith filled in well for injured Kevin White with nine catches for 130 yards, then fumbled the ball in the fourth quarter.I think weve gotten betetr at moving the ball offensively, distributing it, Fox said. I think our timings been better. All in all, though, we still need to capitalize on more points.Fox said he has no timetable yet on when or if Cutler will be back.Right now, thats not a reality, so I dont like to get too much into that, Fox said. But I think Brians played well. Unfortunately, we didnt play quite well enough.Fox chastised the media for questioning whether Hoyer should have thrown the final pass Jefferys way instead of incomplete to Meredith.It could have been an option, he said. I dont know that you can be super-critical. When youre out there playing quarterback it looks a little different than when youre up in the press box having hot dogs.The Bears defense hampered the Colts running game and at times harassed quarterback Andrew Luck. The defense had five sacks, but Luck still threw two touchdown passes and led the victoryOur mindset was made up by how we wanted to get to the quarterback and thats what we all sold out to do that, Young said. And from this point on, weve just got to be consistent in doing it.Game notes The pass rush could get better if Pernell McPhee returns from the physically unable to perform list. McPhee has been out with a knee injury However, Fox said that wont occur until the week of the Oct. 22 Green Bay game at the earliest. McPhee can begin a three-week evaluation process at practice starting this Friday.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Brooks Orpik Jersey .

Nicklas Backstrom Jersey .B. -- The Baie-Comeau Drakkar took over sole possession of first place atop the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League on Thursday with their sixth straight win. http://www.thecapitalshockeystore.com/Capitals-Mike-Gartner-Adidas-Jersey/ . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over . TORONTO -- First place in the Eastern Conference will be at stake Monday night when the suddenly struggling Cleveland Cavaliers play the surging Toronto Raptors.The Cavaliers (13-5), who have lost three in a row, still lead the Raptors (14-6), who have won six straight, in winning percentage, .722 to .700.This will be the third of four meetings this season between the Eastern Conference finalists from last season and the second game at Air Canada Centre.The NBA champion Cavaliers have won the first two meetings this season -- 94-91 on Oct. 28 in Toronto and 121-117 on Nov. 15 in Cleveland. The fourth game will be played April 12 in Cleveland.We played them twice already and it came down to the wire, said Toronto guard DeMar DeRozan, who scored 21 points Saturday night in the 128-84 win over the Atlanta Hawks at ACC. Its fun when you go up against teams like that, so were looking forward to Monday.The Cavaliers did not play Saturday after losing to the Bulls in Chicago on Friday and to the Los Angeles Clippers at home on Thursday. The losses started Tuesday against the Bucks in Milwaukee.The Cavaliers were outrebounded in all three losses, allowing a combined 176 points in the paint.Forward LeBron James said the honeymoon after winning the NBA championship is over.Youve got to play the game the right way, James said. Youve got to battle every night like we aint won nothing. Last year is last year and, after ring night, its over with.Now its a new season and everybody is gunning for us every night and we have to understand that. The honeymoon stage is over and its time to play some real ball and be physical, especially in the trenches. Giving up 78 points (in the paint on Friday) is ridiculous. Weve got to man up. Everybody.James has made a total of 20 turnovers himself in the past three games, including eight on Friday in nearly 45 minutes. He scored 27 points and distributed 13 assists against the Bulls. He hhas at least 13 assists in a game six times this season. Marcus Johansson Jersey. James played so much from necessity.Right now, were using LeBron way too much, Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said. When we have games like (Friday) and were not clicking on all cylinders and he has basically to make every play -- Kyrie (Irving) wasnt on his game (Friday) like he usually is -- LeBron had the ball in his hands as much as he did, thats what we had (to do) to try to win the game.The Cavaliers faltering bench is expected to receive some help Monday when guard/forward Mike Dunleavy returns after missing the previous two games under concussion protocol.The shooter was injured Tuesday in Milwaukee but showed no signs of a concussion until Thursday.Defense, however, is the key. Ive got to come up with some better schemes or something, Lue said. Its not just schemes, its better one-on-one defense.The Raptors are coming off the largest winning margin (44 points) in franchise history after outscoring the Hawks 42-14 in the fourth quarter on Saturday.The Raptors have been facing a string of teams that are either struggling or without key players, or both.Kyle Lowry, who scored 17 points and added eight assists and eight rebounds on Saturday, was asked if the game against the Cavaliers would provide a test for the Raptors.I dont think its a test, the point guard said. You all asked me that the first game of the season that we played them. I think its just another regular-season game for us and a team that we always want to be better than. But we want to be better than every team in the NBA at the end of the day.The Cavaliers are 4-3 on the road this season and the Raptors are 8-3 at home.James averaged 24.5 points, .548 shooting (17 of 31), 8.5 rebounds and 10.5 assists in the first two games against the Raptors.
