    26-0. Pop the champagne everyone.
  2. Irrelevant Dude
    16 completions today for........ 92 yards. Tyson Bagent, is that you?
  3. Irrelevant Dude
    Carolina down 19-0 going into the 4th quarter. They have a total of 69 yards of offense through three quarters.
  4. Irrelevant Dude
    Or a genius move to burn another one of the Falcons timeouts!

    I don't know that Fields is a guy who can just be plugged into a random offense midseason. I would think any team who is acquiring him would need to do so in the off-season so they can tailor their offensive gameplan around his abilities.

    On the bright side, even if the decision has already been made, he is showing just enough to improve his possible trade return. What's the best case scenario for him - a 2nd rounder? Or is that too high?
  7. Irrelevant Dude
    9-0 at the half. So far so good, but still a little too close for comfort.

    I don't think the Bulls are a fair comparison. The Bears have assets and financial flexibility, while the Bulls are up against the cap with mediocre/bad contracts and no help coming through the draft for several years. Taking the coaching decisions out of the equation, the two rosters have their arrows pointed in different directions.

    They may very well be cheap, but I have a hard time believing that Eberflus' $4M is anything more than a rounding error compared to the money the Bears bring in each year.
  10. Irrelevant Dude
    The Offensive Coordinator candidates are really going to be lining up to work with Eberflus next year.
  11. Irrelevant Dude
    Absolutely not. If the Cubs aren't going to be willing to spend on a top of rotation starter (and there are no indications they will ever be willing to pay a #1 starter in free agency), then they need to hit on a guy like Horton from their own system. He is the most untouchable guy they have right now.
  12. Irrelevant Dude
    Absolutely. I like Fields and will be rooting for him wherever he ends up. The Bears trading him outside the division will make that much easier to do.

    Arizona is currently slotted into the #2 pick and I really don't see them winning another game. If they want to give up 3 or more 1st rounders to move up one slot, you take that offer every time.
  14. Irrelevant Dude
    I'm fairly certain there is no possible scenario where Carolina catches Arizona in SOS. According to the tankathon site, Carolina is currently at .522 and Arizona is at .564. I know SOS can shift quite a bit from week to week, but that is simply too big a gap with only 2 weeks remaining.

    Holy horsefeathers, I didn't see that coming the way that 4th quarter was going. Just need 1 more loss by Carolina now.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    Just when it looked like New England had the game under control, Denver scores 2 TD's and 2 2-point conversions in the 4th quarter to tie the game.
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    I don't see any way the Bears lose this game, but they would be much better off losing out. Another win is going to be a big drop in draft position.
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    Wow, that was a close call. Come on Patriots - Find a way to beat the Broncos tonight and give us some breathing room.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    Dansby, Suzuki, Happ, Hoerner? As far as cores go, that one leaves a lot to be desired.
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    Oh by the way, the Dodgers have been able to do all this while maintaining a Top 10 farm system.
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    Maybe the best thing is for the Dodgers to win so this argument goes away. I'm tired of seeing the Cubs and others use this as a justification for not spending. Buying good players doesn't guarantee anything, and the field will always be favored over any individual team, but that doesn't mean teams shouldn't try to boost their odds of winning.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    Don't forget to add the $50 Million posting fee on top of that.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    You do realize that one of the big reasons the Dodgers have been able to go on this spending spree is that they HAVEN'T overpaid the Patrick Wisdom types, right? They had the right combination of money to spend, payroll flexibility, and ownership commitment, along with a very attractive situation both competitively and geographically. Yes, it is true that the Dodgers have many advantages over other teams. The Cubs have some of those same advantages, but simply choose not to utilize them. I'm not opposed to the concept of a salary cap, but it wouldn't address all the disparities and we all know it is never going to happen anyway.
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    Do we really know that Yamamoto would be the best player on the Cubs? It is way too early to make that assumption.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    Or else what? They will just find ways to go out and get other guys.
