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.
-
Next week now becomes a must-lose. The Bears can't allow a meaningless win to drop them from 2 to 4.
-
Oh really? The Bears need to use this garbage time to evaluate whether Fields is their guy?
-
Not for long.
-
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?
-
That may be the safer bet rather than dropping Fields back and having him get repeatedly chased and/or sacked.
-
Holding 2 guys on the same play and still allowing a sack is quite impressive.
-
If they both win that will clinch the 2nd pick right? Yes, and next week becomes largely irrelevant.
-
Cardinals and Broncos are both currently winning. One or both of those holding on would be a nice bonus.
-
-
Having Fields out there running for his life just doesn't make sense at this point.
-
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.
-
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.
-
How is that not helmet to helmet against Fields?
-
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.
-
I have a bad feeling the Bears are going to win this one.
-
More "bleh" than "meh"

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.
-
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.
-
Watching the Astros win isn't fun at all.
-
I'm still terrified of Rodon's injury history, but I would have been ok with this deal for the Cubs.
-
With or without Swanson, extending Nico is a must.
-
So it sounds like the plan is to try and replicate the historically great farm the Cubs had in 2014/2015 before going all in. A totally reasonable scenario and not at all completely unrealistic. Don't forget the once-in-a-lifetime Arrieta trade where the Cubs lucked into a cheap ace for free. 2016 doesn't happen without that complete freak anomoly of a trade.

Correa to the Giants 13/350 (Deal Nixed Due to Medicals)
Irrelevant Dude replied to mias_tisg's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
You understand that, like the Bogaearts and Turner contracts, they're only giving them these extra long contracts to lower the AAV and help them with their cap situation correct? That's why Correa is only 27.5m annually. If not for the cap implications he would have gotten more like 35M annually and 3 or 4 years less. Yep. And while I would prefer NOT to sign guys to 13 year deals, that's the cost of doing business in this market. Those contracts can still be managed in a way that doesn't completely cripple a team's future, as long as teams have enough guys who are on the front (productive) end of their deals to balance out the others who are being overpaid in their later years. Of course that doesn't work if you operate in boom or bust cycles, like the Cubs, and only sign long term deals at specific times in the competitive window. -

If he was always "the guy", kudos to the Cubs for giving him all the leverage by letting him become the last man standing.
