  1. I wish I could be that optimistic.
  2. Can't blame the guys at all for sitting the game out, but it's really hard to win when a team goes in without their star offensive player and possibly two best defensive players. The offense was clearly not the same without Chase Brown. I was considering earlier today whether there is something the NCAA can do to better incentivize (financially) players to suit up for bowl games, but then we see what happened tonight in Cincinnati and there is no amount of money that is worth taking that risk.
  3. This is just stupid doubling down on stupid. "Near future?" When? They have games scheduled for next week and are both in the playoffs. You planning on having them play 3 times in 7 days next week? They will change the schedule to accommodate more off days if they have to. No they aren’t playing 3 times in 7 days. They aren't going to modify the playoff schedule and, outside of that, there simply isn't enough time to work with. Both teams are already in the playoffs, so this is a pretty easy decision. Cancel the game and wherever the teams fall in terms of winning percentage is where they are seeded.
  4. I know this isn't even worth the time it takes to post the link, but horsefeathers Lenny Dykstra. And I'm removing the link to not draw any more attention to it.
  5. Apparently they are still going to try to reschedule the game. What does that even mean? This isn't MLB or NBA where you can squeeze a game in. There is less than 1 week remaining in the regular season.
  6. I'm thinking more along the lines of possible catastrophic neck/spinal injury, but whatever it is clearly isn't good. I don't see how anyone can play after that.
  7. Next week now becomes a must-lose. The Bears can't allow a meaningless win to drop them from 2 to 4.
  8. Oh really? The Bears need to use this garbage time to evaluate whether Fields is their guy?
  9. Yea Broncos down 10, they're done. Zona still in it. Still mostly irrevelant if this is the Bears for next week. Also, Saints still up 10, setting up Minny to be playing for the bye next week. Does it matter whether Minnesota wins today?
  10. That may be the safer bet rather than dropping Fields back and having him get repeatedly chased and/or sacked.
  11. Holding 2 guys on the same play and still allowing a sack is quite impressive.
  12. If they both win that will clinch the 2nd pick right? Yes, and next week becomes largely irrelevant.
  13. Cardinals and Broncos are both currently winning. One or both of those holding on would be a nice bonus.
  14. Having Fields out there running for his life just doesn't make sense at this point.
  15. I'm willing to reserve judgement on Poles until we see what he does this offseason. If this was simply an intentional one season tank and is followed by smart drafting and free agent signings, that's ok with me. This team is really, really bad, but that doesn't necessarily reflect negatively on Poles if they were bad on purpose. I'm willing to give everyone a temporary free pass as long as they can make good on a huge opportunity with the combination of excellent draft position and a massive amount of cap space to work with.
  16. If you're just gonna throw the ball up for grabs, it might as well be in the end zone. That was a pointless pass and could have turned into 6 points on the other end.
  17. How is that not helmet to helmet against Fields?
  18. At this rate, he'll break it today Do it today or it doesn't count. Do it today and lose, then sit out next week.
  19. I have a bad feeling the Bears are going to win this one.
  20. More "bleh" than "meh"
  21. I'm not a soccer fan at all, but I was on the edge of my seat from the second half on despite not having any particular rooting interest. That game was an absolute joy to watch. The chances of me watching soccer again before the next World Cup are close to zero, and there's no guarantee I'll even watch any of the World Cup next time around, but I will definitely remember this game.
  22. Is he hurt? If not he’s got to go. I don't know if he's hurt, he was dealing with some personal stuff earlier and hasn't been the same. I'm ready to move on. He can't be back next year, but for now he's a useful piece to enhance the tank.
  23. Watching the Astros win isn't fun at all.
