on the bright side, the last time the cubs got swept in their first series of the playoffs during a presidential election, it was 2008. That was a very good election cycle. I'm taking this as an omen of good things to come

DONT WORRY GUYS WE GOT BIG GAME LESTER FOR GAME 3

RUN RUNS RUNS MORE RUNS COBS

they said the wind died down

HAPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

breeeeaaaaaaath

still gotta D

horsefeathering wind

welp, there goes the series

..20 mph wind?

Berrios last pitch was like a rainbow laying on its side

Baseball can be so slow you can have it in the background and still get your work done, and not really miss out on much. nahh..."horsefeathers work" is a much better approach

8 games today. how the hell do I get work done ahh horsefeathers work

if TB wins the series against the Jays I'll be very unhappy with the AL.

maybe they should just cancel the playoffs

I dont think Nall can replace Cohen, but I do think he could see more playing time. whatever they do, I hope they dont trade draft picks. I'm sick of the patent Ryan Pace knee-jerk. i thought theydrafted a guy last spring..(2019), Whyte? fast, could be a Cohen Lite for awhile.

not having Goldman is really hurting them

who's doing that? we're talking about creating a new window

if we draft a NDS Bison I'll eat my horsefeathering keyboard will pay to watch on your Only Fans account. I looooathe that football team

why draft a developmental qb when you can bankroll years of draft picks on the guy who drives a modest car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! full disclosure: Trubisky was the guy I wanted in that draft as well. thank god I dont draft for the bears, but no way would I have traded up I mean in the grand scheme of it the trade up part wasn't that big of the deal... definitely not bankrolling "years of picks". Whiffing on the pick when the other consensus Rd 1 QBs ended up being worlds better was the issue. actually, had SF traded the pick to someone like Houston (the threat they threw at Pace iirc) who in turn drafted Trubisky leaving us with Watson/Mahomes is kind of the issue. And if SF couldn't find a taker for their pick, we'd get him anyway w/o loosing our other pick. It was an issue no matter how you look at it. the fact Mahomes turned out to be Jesus was something no one saw.

Yea, they're already out of range for Lawrence. With the Big Ten resuming play, Fields will likely play himself out of their range as well. I guess the QB from North Dakota (Trey Lance) is being talked about as a possible first rounder. Other guys that might draw day 1 or day 2 interest... Jamie Newman (though he opted out), Kyle Trask, KJ Costello, Sam Ehlinger, Kellen Mond.. We'll see if any play themselves into solidly R1 prospects where Pace would feel the need to trade up for any into the top 10 to secure them. if we draft a NDS Bison I'll eat my horsefeathering keyboard

I look to the Bears to re-invent the T formation, but this time with no QB. Its really our safest bet

I find it a bit ludicrous to bag on Foles' abilities in this game. He came into a game with a team he had zero previous history of game time action with. He came into a game with a huge deficit to overcome. He came into a game where there was quite likely a bit of adversity in pulling a QB out of a game that had yet to lose a game this year and already had one 4th quarter comeback on his resume for the year. And yet, he threw 5 TD passes in less than a full half of play. The TD to ARob was perfectly thrown. And I'll never stop arguing that that play should have been a touchdown. ARob had control of the ball in flight and he maintained that possession to the ground. The opponent never had possession and only stripped it away after they were on the ground. ARob had possession and had all kinds of body parts on the ground to rule it a catch. Now, I'm not calling Foles the next coming of Brees here. But, he clearly is an NFL QB who can make solid throws and read defenses. He put twice as many points on the board against the same defense as Trubisky and in less time than Trubisky while also having 2 more scores taken off the board. Foles would have had some amazing numbers if some of his earlier throws were actually caught. Graham dropped an easy one. Miller dropped a perfect throw in the endzone. ARob got his ball stripped away from him. If I had to guess, some of these receivers had a tough time with those balls because they aren't used to seeing a perfectly thrown spiral his them in the hands. Sure, he got lucky on a couple of throws, also, but I've seen the best QB's in the league get lucky on some throws occasionally. They also get picked off once in awhile. Foles is going to have trouble in the pocket with this line occasionally. But, I think he's already got DB's and LB's backing up a bit more since he had already shown he can connect on passes beyond 10 yards. That's what this offense needed. Credit to the Bears coaching staff for making the move and credit to Foles for turning what appeared to be a loss yesterday into a win. Wonder if they will look to the rookie Pierce to replace Cohen. he came into the game against one of the worst D's in the league that were playing simple bar tricks on a young, terribly unsystematic QB. He's lucky to have won the game, and I'm not sold on Foles going forward given his past play, but I would have thought he could have more success against a team like Atlanta
