  1. such a typical Bears game, lol
  2. my post was about the first one... agree that the 2nd wasn't on him at all
  3. would have been 55, and with the conditions i'm not sure Santos would have had a good shot... the issue is the playcalling prior to the last play, just nibbling instead of a real effort to move the ball
  4. Why is that not a penalty when Fields gets hit in the head after he slides?
  5. I feel like you've gotta get eyes on the QB there
  6. Not sure what Brisker was doing there
  7. Billings has been awesome this year
  8. Fields is one of like 5 guys in the league who can make that play... but plenty of QBs also make one of those earlier throws and don't have to... and that kinda sums up the Justin Fields experience
  9. I'm not totally out on Flus anymore, because the defense has clearly come together and the team continues to fight hard and he seems like a good CEO type, but I am completely unconvinced that Getsy should stay. There doesn't seem to be a cohesive gameplan most weeks, even considering Fields' propensity to hop in the pocket and struggles to make reads
  10. Yeah, but the pressure from ownership is basically only to be competitive in a weak division. The Mets may have paid him similarly, but Cohen isn't going to be as easy to satisfy as Ricketts, and I'm sure he'd rather compete with Mil/Stl/Cin than Atl/Phi
  11. Wouldn't an extension allow them to lower his LT number? Pretty sure it's $25M since it's all he has left on his contract... an "extension" that adds a couple years at lower rates with an opt-out/mutual option would spread out the $ and lower the LT hit, right?
  12. Nobody has deferred being mega-wealthy. Ohtani makes insane amounts of money from endorsements, in addition to the 42ish million he earned in salary and bonuses from the Angels. He's already mega-wealthy you dolt
  13. As much as I hate the Brewers, it's hard to be mad at that kind of sign stealing
  14. "You know, we need that Tommy Davita guy. He knows how to beat the Packers." /Score Caller In all seriousness, surely we can find someone who can be a good enough bridge QB if the rookie QB they take isn't ready from Day 1. Jake Browning, Gardner Minshew and Baker Mayfield are all currently starting for teams in the playoff picture and are all FAs after this year per sportrac. They'll have enough cap room to pay a guy enough to be that bridge QB/backup
  15. Can't believe they got that much for Darnold. I think you could convince someone to give a first if Fields plays well the next few games. He's shown he can completely change a game, which is something Darnold has definitely never done. If they can't get a first, I would at least push for a 2nd and 3rd together... maybe a 2nd, 2025 3rd, and a 5th?
  16. fun fact: if he is fired, he will have never beaten Brad Underwood
  17. Man, I know sometimes it can be hard typing on a phone, but you've called Naylor 'Naydor' like 25 times this weekend...
  18. He doesn't have his favorite receiver, Dell, and that defense is nasty... bad combination for a young QB
  19. I think it's pretty much ideal that Wicks would be our 6th best starter to open the season. Start him in Iowa and have him ready to go when the first injury hits
