  1. Never underestimate the Bears' ability to accidently win games in order to shoot themselves in the foot long term. Before the SF game, when everyone was predicting the Bears would lose 77- negative 6, their prospects looked just as bleak as they do now. The coaching staff found a way to save their jobs. I believe that they'll do that again, especially since going 6-10 and picking 6th or 7th would be much worse in the long run than going 3-13. I would not compare what it looked like going into San Fran to what it looks like now. They lost week 1 by 3 points in overtime. That was incredibly disappointing for a team with Super Bowl aspirations, but it is worlds away from 3 straight double digit losses and surrendering 50+ points for two consecutive games with a bye week in between. After week 1 the fear was this team would struggle to get to 9 wins and might be 7-9. Now it looks like they might not eve win another game.
  2. Like another dumpoff to Forte?
  3. No. This team's problem is not that they aren't running the ball enough. who said that it was? according to you, everybody.
  4. It's not like they didn't try, they just sucked at it. I don't know if you could say they tried very hard. They didn't seem to care about acquiring players just to get draft picks like the Red Sox did and rarely overslotted (Samardzija is the only one I can think of). Or maybe it's just the awful development that's clouding my judgement. Josh Vitters will haunt my dreams forever. Hendry got the GM job on the strength of the job he did rebuilding the farm system in the 90's. He actually did a pretty good job at that. He did not take advantage of the Cubs financial strength and he wasn't as smart about how he did it as the smart teams, obviously.

  7. I was all ready to dismiss that stupid concept but then:
  8. LOL [expletive] off Philly three top prospects probably means different things to different people. It says right there in the quote "the Phils want "two that can play right now and another that isn’t far away." Yeah, and at one point the Cubs too were obsessed with getting guys who would play right now. That doesn't make them amazing.
  9. Huh? He either really wanted out of Colorado (was he an anti-drug guy?) or is convinced he will suck in 2015.
  10. I would hope so because otherwise, that's silly. It's like a throwback to the Hendry days if that's their biggest signing of the offseason. How can you value a top 15 pick so lightly? What is it exactly that you think the Hendry days were? I remember the Hawkins signing pissing me off since it was just a reliever that lost them the pick. But I don't remember that being a pattern.
  11. oh god, Brandon Tierney. That dude is the worst kind of tough talking radio goon.
  12. bernstein talking about not knowing who is running the Bears. I really don't get this quasi intellectual nonsense.
  13. when he falls outside the top 20 in most advanced metrics for QBs it's worthwhile to consider if he's been a significant part of the problem he's part of the problem, but not to a significant extent. not when you lose 1000-2
  14. when are you going to take away Cutler's ability to check out of runs? why would you want to take away Cutler's ability to check out of runs? because the guy sucks at safety that's true
  15. The guys at ESPN that keep reporting this/making up rumors have the same line of thought that idiot Mets fan did when he came here after the Russell trade. It's not just Mets fans. Lots of Yankees fans are convinced the Cubs will trade Castro for Mets pitching. I'm not so sure it's particularly idiotic.
  16. when are you going to take away Cutler's ability to check out of runs? why would you want to take away Cutler's ability to check out of runs?
  17. It doesn't help that 75% of all press conference questions related to whether or not Trestman would bench Cutler.
  18. MLBRosterMoves ‏@MLBRosterMoves 2m2 minutes ago The @Mets sign OF Michael Cuddyer to 2-year deal. #HotStove So the Mets give up 15th pick for the right to sign this guy? Is this a sign they plan on signing multiple QO types?
  19. Probably. I think the problem with Cutler is not the turnovers that people understandably freak out about, but the fact that he isn't making plays. He's been "fine", but this team is so bad they need him to be super beast to win.
  20. Bowen calls out full week off during bye week. Calls NFL practice essentially a walk through.
  21. Yes. This. Are they on the Score? I might bite the bullet and listen to sports talk. yes. this is the only time I listen to this stuff, when the Bears have a press conference.
  22. If Emery was actually keeping these guys here in an intentional tanking situation, I would actually be more impressed with his diabolical manner. Bowen knows Trestman has no business with this job.
  23. When? In 40 years he has spent 2 seasons as a DC in the NFL.
  24. This team is going to hire Schiano this offseason aren't they?
