  1. Extremely into the pitch clock - not into the restrictions of the shift. Seems like there's still leeway to move infielders around a bit, but you can't do extreme shifts like they once did. I just like as much strategy involved in what teams can do - rewards skill and understanding. Oh well. It's also not fun to have offense so weak. I hate having a .700 OPS be a 100 OPS+
  2. Man, that article makes me feel so bad for Trubisky. Not that I think Trubisky had what it took to be a star QB in the NFL, but he sure was trying hard and left out to dry.
  3. Lmao, I love what this team is doing in the red zone
  4. Oh for gods sake Poor Justin, not a fun rookie season for this guy. Only thing we can do is hope the next administration is competent and can run a good offense
  5. I can't put into words how much I hate the idea of expanding playoffs from 10 to 14 teams Don't make the regular season as meaningless as the NBA regular season please
  6. If Fields starts I'm marginally interested in a game where he's not going to just face one of the best teams in the league and get murdered If not then whatever
  7. RIP to a legend. People disparaged his announcing near the end of his career but I always enjoyed him. Weird that his biggest legacy will be tied to a series of video games he did very little to contribute to (other than his name, which was a huge help in early years I'm sure)
  8. Thankfully I don’t think anything in the next two weeks will save him his job But I’ve been wrong before
  9. lol that was cool honestly
  10. As bad as the Bears are and how much they are the architects of their own failure, it’s kind of not fair that the refs call two different kinds of games for the Bears and opposing teams. We simply don’t get the same calls other teams do, and it’s also ok to abuse our quarterbacks. Not fun.
  11. Kirk Cousins had 87 yards passing and his team won lmao
  12. I missed the whole first half but its pretty wild to see the Bears down with Fields completing 10/12 passing Shocked their in the game given everything, may turn it on
  13. I don't get angry at people who jump on crypto or NFTs in a really awkward bandwagony way because its mostly just gonna look really funny in like 5 years
  14. Uhh, I’m not sure this team will be able to field a full roster for Monday. When was the last time a team had to forfeit a game?
  15. I'm half convinced the Packers let the Bears take leads just to make it feel worse at the end, but its still nice to see some good plays from Fields
  16. I just want to see the Bears have an above average offense for two years in a row. This is something I'm not sure they've accomplished in my lifetime.
  17. Plus 5 more after this, 5 more games of Dalton throwing, regardless of Kmet' health status, to Graham, 5 more games of Nagy stunting the development of younger players because he thinks he's got a better chance to win by going with trusted veterans. It's really depressing, January 10, 2022 cannot come soon enough. Is it confirmed that Fields is out for the year? If there’s still a chance he can start again before the end of the year, there’s still some reason to keep watching…
  18. Goodbye buddy, I'm glad he's getting paid
  19. The playoff system is perfect and elegant and if its changed it would be to the detriment of the entire sport, so of course it'll expand to 18 teams or whatever. Changing FA rules to age rather than service time is better but setting the age at 29 is horrible given the vast vast vast majority of players earn almost all their value before that age. It should be like, 25. But! So it goes.
  20. God. I feel absolutely no desire to watch this game, whether or not Justin Fields plays. If he doesn't play: no reason to watch, if he does play: oh watch Justin get fed into a woodchipper. This team is so damn grim.
  21. I bet Nagy continues coaching throughout the end of this exceptionally wretched season, gets fired, and Pace stays another year
  22. Very hard to describe the disgust I have for this team lol
  23. Also incredible how difficult the Bears can make completing a forward pass look. You have to move Heaven and earth to just get a clean completion. Meanwhile a back up I’ve never heard of has like an 80% completion percentage.
  24. Incredible how this team routinely looks worse coming off byes
  25. The Mack-Less Bears defense is capable of making nearly any QB look good, so I wouldn’t get too excited about back ups starting. Pencil in any pro offense for 24+ points and see what Fields and co can do.
