    They're old and injury prone, think that's played a big part in, for the Dodgers, a pedestrian 84-67. Don't know about Ohtani pitching, still think his arm is going to explode at some point.
  2. gflore34
    The Dodgers will, of course, deferred until 2500.

    I'm seriously questioning if he's worth a mega contract from the Cubs. Sure, if he plays, but, this is bringing up memories of Kris Byrant.
  4. gflore34
    Did anyone have the Cubs 3 games better than the Dodgers this late into the regular season? What I also find surprising is despite the Brewers being literally unbeatable for a significant stretch the Cubs are only 5 games back in the loss column.
  5. gflore34
    Most definitely, at best, a mediocre defense, I like that Ben Johnson didn't use the injuries as an excuse. Regardless of their very big impact.

    I know I saw it somewhere, the Lions offense pre and post the Bears losing their two best defenders. Pre injuries the Bears were doing okay, forced some punts and were not getting rolled. With all of these over the top reactions did one ever consider it was a perfect storm for the Lions? There isn’t a team in football that can overcome losing their two best defenders in the same game. Add in a motivated Lions team and it was recipe for the disaster we saw. I’m certain the Lions win without the Bears’ injuries on defense. And I’m certain the Lions don’t score 50+ points under those circumstances.

    If he was loafing Sunday, not blocking down field because the Bears were hopelessly trailing. I've no problem with phasing him out or benching him. I'll bet Luther will bust his ass out there regardless of the score.
  8. gflore34
    In no way am I excusing DJ but, wasn't he technically not an eligible receiver or blocker because of something about being pushed out of bounds? The manner in which he just went and sat on the bench was ****** even though he was unable to participant in the play.

    The line is going to get better, most have already dismissed the Bears OL acquisitions as failures. Give them a few more games, even though Caleb' been sacked quite a few times. You can see the PP has improved, it's mainly Caleb holding on to the ball. Once Ben Johnson breaks Caleb of this habit and convinces him that playing on time is the big play we'll see consistent results.
  10. gflore34
    Wouldn't be surprising if they have some kind of a bounce back game on defense either, I'm not talking about winning or the like. Just not be the total sieve they were vs. Lions, no WRers without a Bears defender in the area code, etc.

    I know there aren't many, if any, lacrosse fans here, quite a few hockey players have lacrosse in their background. So, I'll post this here, me, the old man, almost scored a beauty last night, came around the crease from X on the goalies' left. Caught a pass on the run with my left hand and got off a quick shot equivalent to a hockey one-timer. Only problem was the goalie may a really good save, of course, last night, my son scored twice, including a rip on the run in the five hole - punk. There's at least one active hockey here, think he's goalie? Please forgive me for not remembering your name. Nevertheless, just curious has hockey began for you? There's a fellow I play lacrosse with in the summer who doesn't play in fall since hockey fires up for him.

    Honestly, I never thought the playoffs were a realistic goal for this team. What is a realistic goal is Caleb and the offense starts to click around mid-season and the Bears are competitive the last quarter of season maybe, even a playoff spoiler for someone on their schedule. I still believe this can very much happen.
  13. gflore34
    I have to think there was a horsefeathers-ton tests and imaging that suggested everything was a go.
  14. gflore34
    Some good will come out of the inevitable TJ Edwards is done for the season announcement, I think Sewell will turn out to be a player. A pick that Poles actually hit on, imagine that, it also took two years but, better late than never.
  15. gflore34
    I know it the remainder of this season hopefully, and I know it's the Bears, "indefinitely" doesn't mean next season as well.
  16. gflore34
    Yes it does, and you can bet whatever happen to Edwards and Gordon are the worst case scenarios as well.
  17. gflore34
    Knew it - https://x.com/AdamSchefter - season ending updates on Gordon and Edwards are in queue. With the Bears it never fails to assume the worst possible outcome.
  18. gflore34
    Haven't won squat, not even been to a SB and may not even make this year. Won't be surprised if meathead in chief costs them in the playoffs again.
  19. gflore34
    Think we'll see the switch to Monangai/Johnson pretty soon also, believe the running game will incrementally improve if the line stays in place.
  20. gflore34
    Yesterday it appeared to me they were consistently rushing 4 and dropping everyone else in "coverage".
  21. gflore34
    I think it best to assume they're (Johnson, Edwards and probably Gordon) effectively done, maybe, they make back the last few weeks. But I wouldn't count on it.
  22. gflore34
    I'd like to see them sell out and bring everyone, because giving the QB an ample amount of time is not effective. By selling out and bringing everyone you'll get burned, you'll also force mistakes from time to time which will almost never happen by just letting the QB sit in the pocket.
  23. gflore34
    I think any defense is going to suffer when 3 of it's best players are out. I know the Bears have a myriad of problems but, saying they lack the depth to replace perhaps, their 3 top players on defense. Is a problem unique to the Bears is total BS, there isn't a team in football that'll overcome such circumstances.
  24. gflore34
    Just a question: Is it possible the offense will improve along with better utilization of the TE's? Or, another question, because it hasn't happened instantaneously, is Loveland is a complete bust? I know we're Bears' fans and have waited long enough but, you have to know nothing good is going to come immediately. In fact I'm certain it's going to be at least 6-7 more weeks, maybe even longer, before we see some consistent good offense.
  25. gflore34
    Well, you know it's the Bears so Loveland forgot to play football. Which I'm certain would have happened to Warren if he were drafted by the Bears. I agree the numbers don't back it up, Warren had one big year compared to 3 years of production by Loveland. Not to mention last year season he had arguably one of the worst QB rooms in Michigan history and was not a focal point of the Michigan offense. And, when Michigan did throw the ball everyone knew he was target, yet, he still put up some good numbers.
