  1. I don’t trust Poles to make an in season trade. I don’t want him to do it
  2. Nah, you can always just pick up the 5th year option. it has a lot more to do with coach/gm job security than contracts.
  3. They may skip right by it, god willing, but the most boring part of the rebuild is the part that Detroit and Buffalo have been stuck in, perpetually too good for top picks and not good enough for playoffs. Or an Ottawa/Philly/Vancouver type that makes it once this decade and misses the rest of the time. the quantity of quality they have at least makes it seem like they can get to the devils level soon, regularly in the hunt even if they have an off year.
  4. I don’t think Frondell is expected to join the team after a full final season in Europe.
  5. It’s not just who you play but when you play them. The Ravens lost a classic in week 1 despite putting up 40 points and leading by 15 in the 4th. They blew out the Browns in week 2 and lost another shootout in week 3 against Detroit. The wheels came off in week 4 in KC, which happens to the best of them and Lamar didn’t play in back to back multi score losses before the bye week. But Lamar is back now and Baltimore is coming off a bye. Presumably they will be healthy and desperate for a win to keep their playoff/division hopes alive. The Ravens still have two against Pittsburgh and two against Cincy and have to think of themselves as legit contenders. At their best they are favorites in most of their remaining games. the Bears think of themselves as playoff hopefuls. If they pull off this road upset then people will begin to think they may actually be legit. At the bare minimum they can be a tough out and somebody that’s gonna spoil other hopefuls’ seasons.
  6. Right now they are in, but they’ve played more games than anybody else in the west. And the teams they are ahead of are all teams that are very likely to overtake them. They only play one game this week, at Tampa. Then host LA next Sunday. They play 15 games in about 30 days leading up to American Thanksgiving and that is when playoff pictures start to set. if they come out of the early November Pacific Northwest trip with ~3 points then maybe they have a chance but that could be a killer week for a young team
  7. Moody will be the Giants kicker next week
  8. Bears are bottom half in league for red zone efficiency, the top of that half but still below the mean. They are top ten in field goal attempts made. they may be trending in right direction and hopefully by next season they are a drive finishing machine but they are not close
  9. Every story about him talks about how he is the most accurate kicker in Bears history but he doesn’t have the leg strength to attempt the longest kicks.
  10. The one thing Santos does is accuracy and Moody does not do that* *yet. Maybe he can improve
  11. Landon Slaggert has been activated
  12. Santos out again. Setting up pretty perfectly for some Moody Blues headlines Monday morning. Im just a kicker (in a foot and ball band) go now
  13. Competent veteran QBs have eaten this defense up for a few years and Flacco could definitely do that. But he hasn’t exactly been a consistently productive QB for a long bit. He has weapons now. So he’s probably going to get a couple big hits. But if this team is any good they should be able to beat the Bengals. But remember, the Steelers aren’t that good. They’ve beat up dregs of the league, and the one good team they beat was led by Carson Wentz.
  14. It was Nazar’s quote on live tv, referencing Bedard, while sitting right next to him.
  15. Reichel! And this blues goalie is prepared to give up a touchdown today
  16. Foligno taking some time away to be with daughter as she undergoes follow-up surgery related to congenital heart disease.
  17. I think a first year head coach won’t get the privilege of influencing ref calls that an established HC will get. It’s the same privilege of winning that veteran QBs get for roughing calls. If BJ can get through this season as a 9 or 10 win team then he’ll have more opportunities to do this type Of stuff down the road.
  18. The Bears remain in the basement of the NFC North as the only team with a negative point differential. But they are in the discussion for the playoffs as long as they continue to win, however ugly those wins may be, during this stretch against lower level competition. Chicago is a 5.5 point home favorite against the basement dwelling Saints. Plenty of crappy teams have beat good teams this season, and Chicago absolutely cannot afford to fall victim to one this week. Their three wins are against bad-to-mediocre competition, with no wins over a team currently over .500. We should expect a TD+ victory. But this team still has so many faults, and struggles to finish offensively even when they put together solid drives. This is one where they should be able to finish consistently. If they don’t, the likelihood of making the playoffs will plummet.
  19. That’s a surprise after Blashill said he’d probably miss a week
  20. Not sure why that wouldn’t help them win games. Aside from their individual abilities, allowing them to slot middle six and bottom six guys lower in the lineup rather than higher may be the biggest impact. 2 entry level contracts and Bedards manageable extension (assuming) will also make it easy to afford some other quality forward to slot into top six role (although they probably won’t do that)
  21. Sounds like Dach is moving up to Bedards line. He’s more of a physical presence than Donato, who’s going to the third line with Dickinson and Mikheyev, two of the best defensive forwards on the team.
