    I want Flores and the Vikings to be blitz happy. For the first time in forever the Bears have the Coach, QB and weapons to burn them.

    The ironic point is, although it may cost a little more, ultimately, winning generates more revenue.

    For me it's envy, at least they're willing to splash money, the Cubs, in terms of finance, have the ability to be the Dodgers of the Central. They are the only team in the Central with such capabilities and they choose not to fully leverage them.

    Given a get of jail card can be bought now a-days, I wouldn't hold out much hope it'll resort to anything.

    Baseball is fickle and very hard, no way to predict, with all the random variables in play, that a team will continue to develop top pitching year in and year out. The Cubs just spent an enormous amount of draft capital on pitching who's to say they won't start a conveyor belt of young arms in 3+ years? Of course, it doesn't help in the immediate.

    I'm not certain about this, well, at least in regards to anyone who is good. Appears they've unlimited financial resources and flexibility.

    Hasn't Skubal all but said he's going to sign with Dodgers? If so, I'd rather the Cubs not waste their time with whatever charade is going to surround other teams having a chance with Skubal.

    I honestly believe AZ is done, losing 2 of 3 to the Rangers did them in and, despite the Marlins being awful on the road, they'll get one vs. AZ. Then AZ has the Yankees and Padres, they don't have enough starting pitching to hang in and their bullpen has to be nearing exhaustion.

    Is it an accurate statement to say LaFleur' success when Rodgers was at the helm was due in part because of Rodgers' ability off schedule? That appears to be the problem with Love, he's good at everything else but, not very good off schedule. It's NFL, a given play won't always work which means your QB has to succeed off schedule be it with his feet or the scramble drill. Mahomes, Allen, Jackson and now, Caleb can all succeed off schedule.

    Boy, Packers' fans are calling for blood, wanting Matt LaFleur' head. I say careful what you wish for Packers' fans. I believe he's a really good coach and the Packers could do far worse. There's also the grooming, it's flawless and, arguably, the best of any HC, Manager, etc. in any sport today. Although, there was some hairs out of place in yesterday' post game press conference, don't know what was up with that. All kidding aside, LaFleur is good HC and Packers might be doing the rest of NFC North a favor if they move on. Love has some flaws but, LaFleur is getting the best out of him, don't know if one can just assume the same results with the next guy.

    Me neither, for all our blustering about Byrce Young' not so-goodness, he's far more mobile than Wentz. The Bears pressured Young, they get to Wentz behind a lesser OL. Flores' exotic blitzes are concerning, though, if they try do the same things as they did the Packers to the Bears. They're going to get blown out.

    He appears vulnerable to me, not the shut down guy he's been in the past.
  14. gflore34
    As a result of TO's didn't the Vikings have very short fields on their last two scores? It'll help if the Bears can get to Wentz, he'll turn the ball over under pressure. On one hand, I'm concerned about the Vikings rush, though it was helped by inexperienced Packers' OL and a relatively immobile Love. On the other hand, because of Caleb' mobility the Vikings won't be able to sell out and they left the middle of field wide open. Could mean a big day for Raymond, Kmet or Loveland.

    Wouldn't you say when the receivers buy in and take pride the running game becomes very hard to contain?
  16. gflore34
    It would taken what, 4 or 5 games for Eberflus/Fields lead Bears to score 50+ points? Not to dump on Justin. I believe many of us really wanted him to succeed. Awesome to be past all of that poor coaching and play.

    His only saving grace is he knows how to kick in Soldier Field most especially in the winter. I think it's why he was retained. Remains a source of frustration for me, other teams find kickers with big legs, literally off the street. Doesn't appear all that difficult, which leads me back to he's retained because of his ability in Soldier Field.

    Who knew the Bears were going to score again when the score was 52-37? Carolina defense was gassed and done. Didn't expect the next score so quickly, you could sense the Bears were just going to methodically move down the field on the ground. Trying to take away some positives on defense the Bears did generate some pressure on Young. Young' quite a bit more allusive than Wentz. Bears may be able to get to Wentz.

    I'd really like to see Boyd snap his losing streak going into the WC round. It'd be good for him and, of course, the Cubs.
  20. gflore34
    That's what I thought, not going to work, too many weapons.
  21. gflore34
    Wentz isn't very mobile that should be helpful.
  22. gflore34
    As you told me earlier don't waste your time with replies to this fellow.
  23. gflore34
    Honestly, I don't believe the Cubs are ever going to win another Boyd start. Something always goes awry, Craig keeping him for one batter too many, bullpen blow ups, etc. Just concede a loss when Boyd starts.
  24. gflore34
    Yeah, the Bears' D made Byrce Young look good but, they're not immune to being bad in week 1. Just saw, the Vikings let Watson get a free break, catch and fairly effortlessly run the sidelines for a TD.

    Couldn't get my pirate stream to work, was anyone able to see what Carolina was doing to Loveland?
