    i think basically once you get to the playoffs no match up is worse than a 60-40 split there's simply too much variance and the teams are all pretty good

    the 2006 Cardinals should be motivation enough for everyone to be excited your team is in the playoffs and roll the dice

    I also gotta say, as I sort of expected before the season (you NEVER know who's gonna be good from season to season), the upcoming schedule isn't nearly as scary as it was preseason. The Commanders are good and I expect them to be a huge challenge. The Saints are whatever and at the very least we should be on their level or better. There's never been a better time in the past 7-8 years to play the Ravens. If ever there was a time to steal one from them, it's now. The Bengals are trash with Browning as QB. The NY Giants are trash. The Vikings are also trash but keep stealing wins. I don't respect them at all. Steelers are whatever. If we're a "decent" team we should make hay at this time. We're probably not decent though, we're probably a little under average. But if we keep getting some progress from Caleb Williams and the defense stays away from Complete Collapse mode (I am skeptical of this), we could be in a decent, competitive spot before we go Eagles, Packers, Browns, Packers, Niners, Lions. (and even that stretch doesn't terrify me as much as it did in the preseason).

    I feel pretty blah about this series and the Cubs chances but its baseball and anything can happen and go the horsefeathers out there and beat the horsefeathers out of them

    I got a bad feeling about this game, would feel a lot better if Daniels wasn't healthy. the Bears 2024 season basically ended when they went to Washington. I hope the same doesn't occur next week. It would be a nice gut check for them to play well and prevail. It would be nice alone if they played well. I think our defense is awful and will struggle against a healthy Daniels. Let's see what Caleb can do.

    NFL Week 5

    BigSlick replied to BigbadB's topic in Other Sports

    This is me at my most Boomerish but I hate football going in this direction. It’s too much like Arena Football. It should be possible to force an incompletion! I don’t want 80%+ completion percentages, it’s boring!

    I certainly don’t object to the process behind it, but boy howdy has it not worked out
  8. BigSlick
    Michael Soroka has gotta be one of the worst trades we’ve made in some time
  9. BigSlick
    I think it’s “cool” the game and perhaps the series goes to horsefeathers almost immediately
  10. BigSlick
    Dude get the guy out of there he’s just not doing it
  11. BigSlick
    I feel like whenever the Cubs play the Brewers we are not allowed even a full inning of joy, we just get kicked in the dick immediately (The 3 out of 5 series we win recently notwithstanding)
  12. BigSlick
    Is giving up 3 doubles in a row bad?
  13. BigSlick
    Remember when a ref threw a flag on a Bears player when the ref went out of his way to bump into him? Officials in all sports are entitled jerks. I don’t know why they are, but being imbued with a lot of mostly unaccountable power seems to do that to people
  14. BigSlick
    95% of the time it's not gonna matter but boy howdy is it frustrating to have 14 baserunners and only 3 runs
  15. BigSlick
    It's funny that opposing pitchers just straight up do not throw strikes at PCA, and still he struggles with dealing with it
  16. BigSlick
    we keep getting runners on, CASH SOME OF THEM IN
  17. BigSlick
    Dansby has been a total MVP this game
  18. BigSlick
    I've always disliked Haugh. Something about him comes across as condescending, not really sure how to really put it into words though
  19. BigSlick
    ugh we are bailing out the padres SO MUCH
  20. BigSlick
    we've gotten the lead off guy on in seemingly every inning so far, get some MORE RUNS
  21. BigSlick
    get more runs!!!
  22. BigSlick
    PCA has done his job today, I’m not gonna rag on him for swinging at ball four at his eyes… but I want to
  23. BigSlick
    Get more runs!!!
  24. BigSlick
    I don't hate Suzuki taking there, thats a marginal strike call but man. He takes a lot of those marginal strikes
  25. BigSlick
    we put nearly 20 pitches on him in his first inning and then we rush to commit outs. not smart baseball
