Yes. At least, the softer choice to compete with his busted draft pic Look, Pace being loose with draft capital and aggressive to trade for his guys is a legit fact/criticism. This "actually he desperately wanted to save his skin by promoting Mitch until Nagy had enough" or whatever, plus the other stuff is stupid. Desperate also may have been Nagy pulling Trubisky today, however, but from Nagy's pov

What do you mean what? The fact Foles has had experience working with Nagy makes an easier storyline, but let's not act like Pace is a savant when it comes to draft capital. Blowing up picks to "get his guy" is what he does. "His guy" in this case being the reluctant QB acquisition that his HC was demanding? Again, what? Yes. At least, the softer choice to compete with his busted draft pic

Twins don't play the Yanks first rd! Also, the Reds are probably the sneakiest team in the NL, they've def played themselves back into contention

Yes, Pace was desperate to make Trubisky work, but if he was going to bring in a viable challenge it HAD to be the one who cost a 4th round draft pick and many millions of dollars more than the other options.

Pace most certainly brought in Foles to push Trubisky, but I'm not convinced Nagy wanted that after last year. Nagy probably just as easily could have gotten behind an Andy Dalton or Cam Newton. I doubt Pace could have.
-
Not if Nagy was fighting that idea. So Nagy has more control of who they add to the roster rather than who is on the field? Your logic is flawed from start to finish here. More? He has a big say, certainly, but where did I say more? In what world would Pace forcing a Daniels hire over a protesting Nagy make any sense?
-
Pace looks absolutely idiotic for trading up to get Mitch over Mahomes and Watson. I don't think it is in any way unreasonable to think he would push his coach to make something if him. He doesn't have to make it an ultimatum to Nagy, he could he far more subtle about it throughout camp and the offseason. It would have been much easier to just bring in a typical backup like Daniel rather than someone while not good, but who could outperform Mitch. Not if Nagy was fighting that idea.
-
My theory is simply this: Pace, feeling embarrassed for the gamble to draft Mitch has forced Nagy to play him. Nagy today said enough. I mean that would be super duper dumb if true. I try not to contemplate super super dumb logic unless I have really good reason to. Pace looks absolutely idiotic for trading up to get Mitch over Mahomes and Watson.

I don't really buy that we have no idea how Mitch would respond if he had to spell Foles. We've seen enough of his play to know more or less his ceiling.
-
I was surprised Mitch one the job at the start because the trade and declining Mitch's extension seemingly pointed towards Foles being the starter. One theory may be that the short camp affected Foles more than Mitch and the extra 2-3 weeks helped him close in on whatever system gap Mitch had. Given a full offseason and 4 preseason games, maybe Foles wins the job at the outset. My theory is simply this: Pace, feeling embarrassed for the gamble to draft Mitch has forced Nagy to play him. Nagy today said enough.

oh don't be so sensitive. besides, your team gets to play a team whose QB has clearly aged past his best years, you should be 3-0 soon. But if you dont win.... Oh, I’m not being sensitive. Trust me. Happy they started out with two wins. Bears get that same aging QB (probably) later in the season, so there’s that. maybe not. maybe it will be Hill
-
idk, Mitch was having a terrible time reading the Falcons defense, and he sure as hell didnt want to lose the rest of the team. It worked, but I wonder how much of it is how they play down as opposed to leading or earlier int he game
-
You're referring to the Packers, right? No I wasn't,' but you know that. The Packers beat two teams that haven’t won, so I don’t put much stock in their 2-0 start. But wins are wins. oh don't be so sensitive. besides, your team gets to play a team whose QB has clearly aged past his best years, you should be 3-0 soon. But if you dont win....

Think about everything they had to overcome. Down 16 in the 4th quarter, they had TWO TDs overturned and both resulted in a loss of possession. They made a QB switch mid game, they didn’t get the 2 point conversion that would have made it a 1 possession game. They lost their backup RB and punt returner to a devistating injury. The refs seemed to be way more willing to call penalties on the bears. I rip on Nagy for a lot, and I still will, but keeping his team poised and focused despite all that is a reflection on him Wins are always good, regardless of the opponents. But the3wins are against teams that are currently 0-8 and most 0-9 by the end of the day. Those three teams probably picking in the Top 5 of the draft. You're referring to the Packers, right?

How about Davont...oh wait NALL

I wish they'd stick to the intermediat and underneath stuff, they were having success with it
-
Pass to Graham was awesome

Why does game day say "injury delay"? -
Conspiracy theory, Ross has just been hiding KB to toy with the league
-
nah, just rename the thread. what a glorious magnificant batflip, and the fact it led to Renteria to lose his horsefeathers (after the HBP) makes it even better AND THEN Wilson hits is second! great game
