  1. How many of these "megastar" high draft pick QB's actually live up to the hype? Not many. How many "we just need to give him more weapons and another year" bears QBs ended up living up to the hype? Once again, I'm not saying we have to draft a QB and trade fields because of this. I'm saying that "trading fields and seeing him become a superstar somewhere else would be a Bears thing to do" is a bad argument. There's a lot of instances of the Bears passing on good QBs and very few (flutie?) of them letting a good one go. It's perfectly possible for keeping fields to be the right choice and for a lot of the arguments being put forth for it to be bad arguments. When is the last time the Bears actually surrounded a QB with weapons? When is the last time the Bears had a QB with a talent level similar to Fields?

  3. I'll take the Giants over the Viqueens. Home team on the others.
  4. I didn't see the game, but believe I saw that he thought he had been fouled and was going for the continuation. Apparently replays showed the Wizards guy also thought he had fouled him because he was motioning for the ref to call it a non-shooting foul. The Bulls were down 3. Why was he shooting a 2 in the first place?
  5. I'd like to beat him with a baseball bat.
  6. He can fill up a stat sheet but he is not a winner.
  7. Skip Bayless thinks the Bears should trade Fields. That should tell you how monumentally stupid it would be.
  8. Coaching can get you a long way but I think last night was the manifestation of a team full of 3* players running up against a team loaded with nothing but 4* and 5* talent.
  9. Kingsbury was also the exception in that he wasn't a particularly good college coach either. 35-40 overall, 2 winning seasons out of 6(and none in his most recent 3), never more than 8 wins in a season(his first season). Texas Tech can be hard to recruit to, but not that hard. He had Baker Mayfield at Tech and ran him off.
  10. Kliff Kingsbury fired.
  11. After the MNF win over the Patriots it was at 1.5%.
  12. Trading Fields and/or drafting a QB would make my head explode.
  13. Texas actually fired Chris Beard. Once his fiancée said he didn't choke her I figured they would let him come back eventually.
  14. Ick. Jimbo Fisher is hiring Bobby Petrino as OC.
  15. The difference is in that scenario it was a level playing ground. Here it would not be. I am not making an argument one way or another on how it should be handled but if two teams play one less game it is not equal. And unfortunately for the NFL this game had huge playoff implications.
  16. Saw this posted by a doctor on another forum.
  17. Please let him be OK.
  18. Incredible comeback win but one thing I noticed is that LaVine didn’t touch the ball at all in OT. So much for our max contract guy. Oh, Grayson Allen is still a horsefeathering bitch.
