    How many of the pressures were a result of Fields holding on to the ball too long?
  2. gflore34
    How will the "run-first-QB' save your job? It's not sustainable and you've no chance of consistently winning, why not just go balls to walls with Fields? I believe you've got a better shot at winning with an aggressive approach.

    Uh-mm, the weather? Although unrelated, the Cubs finally managed to handle the crap Arizona put on the mound?
  4. gflore34
    That doesn't make sense, their only shot at winning is all out aggression, a constant stream run, run, screens is not going to work - ever. I'd rather take shots with Fields, who the horsefeathers cares if throws interceptions, than this mainly three yards and a cloud of dust nonsense.

    The one thing I won't fault Poles on is drafting Wright, sure Carter had a good game, but, in time, Wright will turn out to be just as good an NFL player.
  6. gflore34
    I was wondering that the other day, had they drafted Mahomes or, for that matter, Watson, would either have turned out any good? Once again, going back to our only hope is new ownership, because these clowns are never going to get it correct.

    By no means am I defending the coaching staff, however, with Fields it's also a possibility there isn't a coaching staff anywhere who could unlock his potential. Perhaps, the best is try to put him in a position to succeed. What that is I, and it certainly appears this coaching, don't know.

    To all those GB fans huffing and puffing that was a false positive yesterday, played a clearly unprepared terrible football team yesterday. There may a dose of reality when they play in real NFL game against a real NFL team.
  9. gflore34
    There's really no excuse for the above, maybe, someone should tell him if doesn't just let rip he's going to be ex-Bear and perhaps, ex-NFLer very, very soon.
  10. gflore34
    I agree, if you're going just roll over what's the point? Might as well just let Bagent run a few plays, at least, he'll try.
  11. gflore34
    Fields can take his post game apology to us fans and shove it up his ass, I'm tired of that BS.

    I had bad vibes after his dismal display against Buffalo and it carried over to game 1. Unfortunately, Fields is clearly not the answer, he checks every box but, the most important, the ability to read defenses. We've 16 more games of inane play calling because the Bears OC is not only terrible but, he's got a bad QB as well. So looking forward to run, run, run run, easily read screen passes, run, run, run, run, rinse and repeat. I believe our only hope for seeing another good Bears team in our lifetimes is a change in ownership. They clearly got the GM wrong again, there's a good chance they'll never get it correct.

    Same here, hope it's a good result, anything less than marked improvement in all facets of the passing game and Poles is going QB hunting next off season.
  14. gflore34
    As badly as I like to see Fields take a step forward and, finally, be a good NFL QB. It's hard not be discouraged by his performance against the Bills, saw the same old stuff from him, the yips on the short throws, holding on to ball too long, etc. Think the line will be much improved, he's got a far better receivers room than last years, he's out of excuses, time for him to put up or shut up.
  15. gflore34
    Losing to Arizona is frustrating, OK lineup but, outside of two pitchers, a really not very good pitching staff.
  16. gflore34
    What'll probably happen is the Cubs will get to and beat Kelley and Gallen but, be mesmerized by today's and Sunday's scrubs. Getting a series split but, have us pondering if they just could have beaten up on one of scrubs, 3 of 4 sure would have been nice.
  17. gflore34
    I'd rather the Reds or Giants be the third WC, I believe the Marlins, with their SP, could be quite dangerous, plus their horsefeathers eating luck in one-run games.
  18. gflore34
    Ditto for me

    8/9 - 293 today, drew a blank on A's -Phillies
  20. gflore34
    Much like the NCAA, it's all about making the tournament, doesn't matter how, once in, anything can happen. So, I agree, if you're in, not worth going with Steele for the division in game 162.

    Saturday I kicked ass, rarity score of 95, used Gehrig, Ruth and Mantle to fill spots. Today completely terrible, first guess was Ed Farmer for Cubs-White Sox, of course, he never played for the Cubs nor did he ever drive in 100 runs. Cannot believe I missed on Sosa, did get Ordonez and Konerko.
  22. gflore34
    Thank you, I'll check it out.

    Taillon has been terrible, thought they'd be a larger regression to the mean however, it hasn't materialized. Still believe he's not truly as bad as he's been, may have to wait until next season to see a better version of him. Dude has also had the worst of luck, I don't he believe he's gotten away with many, if at all, mistakes appears, every bad pitch gets obliterated. I guess as well they should but, I saw Ashcraft and Spiers get away with several hanging sliders and change-ups, I suppose, that's baseball. Anyone play Baseball-Reference' Immaculate Grid? I finally filled in an immaculate grid on Saturday, so proud of myself, at the time my gird was the rarest, I used Gehrig, Ruth, Mantle and Vinny Castilla to fill some spots. I was surprised at the rarity of Gehrig, Ruth and Mantle, I'm getting old, saw some kid wearing a Tigers Mize jersey was about to tell him that Johnny Mize never played for the Tigers. Until I realized it was a Casey Mize maybe, he's related to Johnny Mize in some capacity? I sucked today, cannot believe I could not get more than Konerko and Ordonez, completely missed on Sosa, first guess was horsefeathers Ed Farmer on Cubs-White Sox, he never played for the Cubs.

    Well, all right, got one, so assured of the split, next is gravy.
  25. gflore34
    But, of course, Ashcraft' on hot streak, lately it seems as every SP the Cubs are facing are on some sort of a run. Probably not true, just the focus is on such things when the Cubs are in the playoff picture.
