    Yes, there aren't any good internal options to take over for the remainder of the season. But the remainder of the season is already lost. The players want change. They'd probably prefer Eric the Clown over Eberflus at this point. Respect the players. Fire Eberflus.

    Press conference at Halas Hall this morning. No confirmation on the time; initially scheduled for 9am.
  3. Cubfanintheknow
    Eberflus has to go tomorrow. A message needs to be sent to the players. They played their asses off in the second half. Eberflus totally let them down. Enough is enough.

    This graphic is bringing out a lot of emotions in me. And none of them good.

    Anyone else catch the end of last night's Chargers-Bengals game? Two things stuck out to me: Game was tied with about 40 seconds left and the Chargers had just driven into field goal range. With a time out in their pocket, they decided to keep the offense moving and actually scored a touchdown with 0:18 left in the game to take the lead. You know, rather than sit on the ball for a long field goal attempt. The Bengals proceeded to get the ball near mid-field for one last Hail Mary. The Chargers then used their last time out to review their defensive assignments for the final play... and proceeded to blitz Joe Burrows into hurrying his final pass. It ended up getting knocked down short of the goal line. You know, rather than.... Frustrating to watch it all done correctly. Even more frustrating because both tactics have been used time and time again by head coaches to get successful outcomes. Except Eberflus.

    Watching the post game press conference on Marquee. Reporters are asking a lot of pointed questions about the coaching and the the confidence they have. Caleb had an opportunity to throw the coaches under the bus; he backed them and said he has all the confidence in the world with his coaches. He's saying the right things, anyhow.

    They've made all sorts of bad history in just the last couple of games alone. Might as well make a little more.

    This! Each team is blessed with elite athletes (some teams a little more than others, of course). But it's what you do with them that makes the difference between 10-6 and 6-10.

    I was an Eberflus apologist in the past. Yes, at times it seemed like he was in over his head. But he kept the team together and had them playing hard... especially the second half of last season. But not anymore. He's still over his head. And it appears he's lost his players. He's gotta go. P.S. Please start throwing the ball a half-second earlier, Caleb. Too many passes where you haven't given your receivers to make a play.

    Fortunately, that clown... and the clown next to him who held Betts' wrist... were escorted out.

    Nailed it. No runs, three hits and two errors by the Tigers today.

    One more milestone to go: Playing an entire 162 game schedule and not winning 40 games. Still a pretty good chance that happens.

    After 9 beers... and just short of a metric crap-ton of air-fried snacks, here goes. This team is actually not that bad. Ok... so... the offensive line is bad. Make that very bad. The rest of the offense is bad, too. Is there a new coordinator? Asking for a friend. But the defense is good. Very good. Bordering on great if they didn't have to be on the field so much. Can the offense improve? Yes... as long as the O-line will allow. The defense will hold their own. If there was ever a case study on how important it is to have a solid offensive line... it might be this team.
  14. Cubfanintheknow
    If this O-line could figure things out... they'd be very good.

    Is it weird that... based on last week's game... I'm feeling better about halftime adjustments?
  16. Cubfanintheknow
    Even the White Sox won!😲

    I think I blocked that Cleveland series out of my mind... for obvious reasons. Thanks for correcting me.
  18. Cubfanintheknow
    Aside from losing both games in St. Louis (with a rainout in between), I really can't recall the Cubs being swept this year. (And I'm not counting the above series because of the rain out; they won the make-up game).

    Like seeing the packers lose almost as much as I love seeing the Bears win.
  20. Cubfanintheknow
    Just tuned in. Where's Boog? Who's the guy with JD?
  21. Cubfanintheknow
    At the very least... they're holding my interest through the start of the Bears' season.
  22. Cubfanintheknow
    They have to win 9 of their last 24 (.375 winning percentage) to win 40 games. Current winning percentage is .225 Incredible run of awfulness.

    PCA reminded me of the Olympic hurdlers. He hit each bag perfectly in stride with his path around the bases. No lost motion.
  24. Cubfanintheknow
    He keeps getting better with age.

    Rumor has it state and capitol police have been assigned to Wrigley. Probably not a huge contingent, but still...
