    We both know there's little to no chance of him balling out in the second half. We'll continue to see the same old horsefeathers from Fields hopefully, for the last time as a Bear.

    The Bears finally managed to get to Love a little and guess what, he missed his throws, should have thrown a pick. I stand by predication that the Bears will turn him over.

    Pressure continues to come over the center why aren't they moving the pocket?
  4. gflore34
    Fully expect the Bears to run all over the Packers and turn Love over a few times but, ultimately, because of Fields ineptitude vs a zone, lose. It'll be something stupid, Fields will be unable to make a zone read that an average NFL QB would be able to execute and miss a wide open Moore for a game winning TD. In the process Fields will answer the question as to whether or not the Bears should move on from him.

    Illini hung in there, seemed a little shell shocked at the start, came back out scoring Purdue by 10 in the second half. Sure would have liked to see what how the game would have turned out with TSJ in the lineup. Think he would have been able to exploit Edey' slowness by driving to the hoop before Edey could get back. Nevertheless, Purdue is very good, should win the Big Ten and do well in the tournament. Speaking of Edey I read he still has eligibility remaining? He's too slow and unskilled for the NBA, might as well run it back.

    Watched it as well, don't get his problems with Moore and Kmet both, have put up big time numbers. I will give him credit for questioning why Fields isn't getting any roughing the passer calls, it's beyond ridiculous, defenders have been given the OK to target Justin. Being the last game, I'd like to see Eberflus go ape-horsefeathers crazy all Ditka on the officials if Justin absorbs other cheap shot without a call.

    Just don't see Poles passing on Williams or Maye. If Fields had taken a giant step forward in the passing game maybe you trade the pick for a haul of resources however, Fields improvement in the passing game was, at best, incremental.
  8. gflore34
    All the Buie, tough Northwestern defense talk notwithstanding, I didn't think the Wildcats had much of a chance tonight. Illini just too big, too long and talented for Northwestern hopefully, they can hang in there against Purdue on Friday.
  9. gflore34
    Exactly, Williams or Maye is not walking into Carolina type situation, either one of them is going to have Kmet, Moore and Odunze/Nabers/Coleman as targets behind a decent/improving line with a good stable of running backs.
  10. gflore34
    I like to see Poles go Maye and Nabers/Odunze/Coleman with the first round picks then, look at OL with the second rounder he'll get for Fields.
  11. gflore34
    If the Packers win tonight that sets up a win and in game against the Bears next week. Wouldn't mind seeing Fields break the seal in addition to knocking the Packers out of the playoffs.
  12. gflore34
    Given Fields has done nothing but crap the bed vs. the Packers I'm not expecting much however, it sure would be sweet if he could lead the Bears to victory over those piss-heads.
  13. gflore34
    Oh, he's a tight-wad, told us so with his winning the off-season BS. Well, the Dodgers are winning/won the off-season and they're going to win the regular season Jed.
  14. gflore34
    Jed' apparent MO of waiting until a given players' market dries up may work. But, won't Boras have clients hold out just as long? Effectively creating a stalemate? Speaking of Boras' clients what's the deal with Hoskins? Coming off season missed due to injury, he's got to be in the "prove it" mode, what's the strategy to him holding out? He hasn't any leverage.
  15. gflore34
    I sincerely doubt it, no way in the world Jed was going to commit to the money and years, not a chance.
  16. gflore34
    I'd really like to see Purdy or Hurts and Fields switched, while Fields has flaws I believe, neither Purdy or Hurts are significantly better. They're beneficiaries of a strong supporting cast and superior coaching which, I guess, are examples of build up the roster/coaching staff and a QB will succeed.
  17. gflore34
    Wouldn't be too worried Fields taking off, he may improve a little with an OC who's going to maximize putting him in a position to succeed. The same problems will still hold him back, holding onto the ball too long, fumbling, etc.
  18. gflore34
    I believe there's a strong chance of this outcome, certainly not the best of the choices. However, it's far better than keeping Fields and going with a new coaching staff.
  19. gflore34
    Agreed, given the conditions and Arizona being weak against the run, I'd expect quite a bit of designed QB runs and hand-offs. Should soften them up for deep shots with Mooney and preferably, Scott. Beyond his other flaws I'd say the toughest to deal with is Fields' inconsistency, it's the only factor Getsy has in his defense. While Getsy has been terrible at putting Fields in a position to succeed, I acknowledge it's very difficult to do with someone who cannot be counted on to execute. One series Fields will look good, execute, next series deer-in-headlights taking ****** sacks. Think all it's going to be with Fields is flashes.

    When I've watched Blackhawk games I've seen Bedard put some dimes right on his line mates' sticks only to have the them fumble, bumble it away. Reichel' been the recipient of some of those dimes and of course, has done nothing, why was he picked at 17 in 2020?
  21. gflore34
    Saying this ask a complete novice to baseball finances - how are the Dodgers not on the hook for dead money in the next 30 years?
  22. gflore34
    What if the Carolina pick falls to 3? In this case, assuming Maye/Williams or Williams/Maye go 1 and 2, I'd take MHJ at 3 and Fashanu/Alt with the next pick. Then, of course, find an OC that's going to put Fields in the best position to succeed, play call to his strengths and not try to make him into something he's not.
  23. gflore34
    Horton, Cassie and Shaw - hard pass, not available, Alcantara, Brown or Canario have at 'em.
  24. gflore34
    Pairing Williams/Maye with Nabers/Odunze/Coleman is ideal but, given Jenkins injury history (got hurt again on Sunday) and lack of availability. I'm wondering if Poles should go with Williams/Maye and Fasahnu/Alt instead. Jenkins is fantastic when he plays but, it's only about 60% of time.
  25. gflore34
    Heard Kurt Warner question the same thing about the lack using of a middle passing game and using the middle of the field. Screw the Cleveland defense, it was more about the Bears choosing to be non-aggressive and predictable. Come the playoffs someone is going to go after Cleveland and kick the horsefeathers out of them.
