  1. Iit would be the best outcome, and why I cheer on Mitch. We have other needs, like TACKLE We need more viable edge rushers badly. Leno and Massie are locked in with their salaries already. I'd prefer a vet pickup there. The draft class is strong at edge and we could get something really nice to complement Mack. I've seen enough of Floyd to know that he is an utter JAG. Keep grooming Bars and hope he can supplant Massie next year at some point. edge was the other position of need I was thinking about, but if we are looking at replacing Massie with a project, I want more options. Also, Leno sucks, contract be damned. That guy gets blown up nearly every damn play.
  2. I cannot get on board with this theory, that admittedly has been shared by many others. Mitch was throwing deep before, he wasn't intercepted becuase he'd miss everybody by 5 yards. He also had quite a few "should have been" INTs, and plenty of them on shorter passes as well. The INT last night was really bad. He was not pressured, had plenty of time to get rid of the ball, and should have just thrown it away (although I suspect the film will show he had some open receivers earlier). He's lucky the defense stepped up after Dallas started with a precision drive. He did play great and has rebounded nicely, but I am not for "the interceptions means he's trying more" mentality. His INTs are from bad decisions. I get that its hard to watch him throw that int last night when it looked like such a glaring mental mistake, but he bounced back so well (throwing 3 td's and running for 1) that its hard for me to hold it against him. It was also picked at the 1/2 yard line with the DB barely getting 2 feet down, and ultimately ended up with no points for the Cowboys.
  3. Wasn't that when he was a Viking? Think it was an outdoor game, winter, cold, snow. yes... played at university of minnesota's field that was basically frozen solid and had been shut down for the season. after the metrodome roof collapsed. thats what I said!
  4. thats what it was, bitching! we won, Farve got hurt and it was a beautiful game! I think it won us the division
  5. I remember jersey bitching that someone was going to get hurt because it was such a crappy day and the stadium wasn't prepared to be played in. it was a monday night game and, someone DID get hurt. Favre.
  6. we beat Favre up alot at the end of his career, in fact we pretty much ended his career via Wooten Wasn't that when he was a Viking? Think it was an outdoor game, winter, cold, snow. yes, the metrodome roof collapsed so they played on the icy TCF stadium turf (Gopher Stadium). it was played at like 3/4 speed
  7. Holy crap, how did I not realize that the Bears somehow won at Lambeau 4 years in a row? (2004-2007) Since then they've won in 2013 and 2015 it's easy to forget that the bears owned favre for his last few years. especially while he was with green bay. i can only hope we get to have the same satisfaction/slaying of demons of beating up on rodgers's carcass for a few years. we beat Favre up alot at the end of his career, in fact we pretty much ended his career via Wooten
  8. no, all red hook beers are gross
  9. Pham is a weird one for me, he has a career .844 ops but gets tossed around like a middle reliever, from one club to the next. Why Margot? defense? is he projected to have a good MLB bat? I realize hes young, but the numbers dont inspire me
  10. 3 games in 11 days followed by a 10 day rest before facing the Evil Doers bear down!

  12. #2 pick ladies and gentlemen
  13. First of all, forward progress, 2nd facemask
  14. i'm not really ready to let go of Willson https://www.bleachernation.com/cubs/2019/12/05/report-houston-astros-interested-in-willson-contreras/
  15. Neither Nagy nor Pagano drafted Floyd. What do you expect them to say? I agree and understand the politics, but Floyd's lack of production is just one of many frustrating aspects of this season. I agree their individual numbers have been disappointing, but the defense as a whole is still performing at a relatively high level. #7 in ypg and #4 in ppg, #8 in DVOA and they've been w/o Hicks for most of the season. I think its more indicative of how valuable Hicks is to the defense.

  17. [tweet] [/tweet] that scares the hell out of me. I feel like he's worth hanging on to, and another team out there will surely offer him a contract. especially a small market team needing pitching
  18. For a team struggling with pitching, is non-tendering Hultzen a good idea? It seemed like he was pitching well and worth hanging on to
  19. like I said, 6 game winning steak powering into the playoffs
  20. That was one of Mitch’s better games, hell one of the better fames fir any qb all weekend id bet
  21. Way to smoke the 1/2 time show Detroit
