    Joe. We blame Joe.

    I'm super checked out on any baseball that isn't Cubs. Why is Atlanta good all of a sudden? GYPSIES
  7. minnesotacubsfan
    I guess we'll just have to starting pitcher the horsefeathers out of the playoffs.

    lets think positively here people. maybe he's pregnant

    Maybe it just his genius plan of getting Murphy out of the way early and then letting the rest do what they do.. [emoji6][emoji6][emoji6] then why bat Happ 9th

    my "best case scenario" includes an "elite" defense and a developing Mitch Trubisky as much as it would a developing defense and an "elite" Mitch Trubisky. And honestly, thinking Trubisky would be on fire in a new offensive scheme from day 1 is fantasy to me. That would scream flash in the pan. I mean, we were aiming for 10 wins this season, not 14.

    who the hell has claimed that? Lets say a top 5 defense is "Elite". I would guess there are many examples of defenses remaining in the top 5 for 2 years, and likely a few for 3 years. If our first year in the top 5 is this year, Mitch has this year to show he can be good enough to really make a run at it next year. That seems logical, and a best-case scenario going into the year last summer. Would you agree to that?

    I dont want him to be fake. I like the real Kyle.

    It is though. It's been 2 games. Granted, these are going to be the guys that are going to have to get it done in the next 3 years, but they don't have to get it done today. Even still, they have led all but 2 minutes of time so far this year. Elite defenses don't last three years. You're *lucky* if an elite defense lasts one. lol wut the definition of an elite defense is one that plays an entire season at the top of the league, not 1/2 a season or 1/4 of a season

    I wish Murphy wasn't on it at all. Zo at 2nd, Schwarbs at LF. THAT lineup would score 94,000 runs, THIS lineup is at about 83,456 runs not good enough

    yea, I'd be stunned if Strop is thought of much at all outside of NSBB'ers. #5 might be John Lackey because of his legendary mound melt down in game 2 (I think it was game 2) last year, but not in a good way. a large contingent of cubs twitter rightfully loves strop considering how little I twitter should tell you that I had no idea that was true

    Right, I get they lost draft picks, but people are acting like their window is shut after this year. Mitch will get better, and I think a lot better. A slightly above average QB can win the Super Bowl with this defense(assuming it stays at this level). Mitch probably won't get to that point this year yet and they still will finish with 10 wins. The problem is there will not be an influx of great talent to help make that happen. When you are counting on your team to improve over the next couple years, you generally count on draft picks and free agent signings. Well, they won't have any blue chip picks and they won't have much money to spend on free agents either. It's all on Mitch becoming very good. He can't just be good enough. He has to be very good. He's not projecting to be that at the moment. if they make the playoffs this year, and they very likely could, how far they go will dictate how good Mitch has to become. There is a lot of season left to play

    I'm pretty sure the vast majority of our fan base thinks Strop sucks, or at the least is nothing special. yea, I'd be stunned if Strop is thought of much at all outside of NSBB'ers. #5 might be John Lackey because of his legendary mound melt down in game 2 (I think it was game 2) last year, but not in a good way.

    I'll be at the Sept 29th game drunk as a skunk and yes I agree. I hope we have it wrapped up by then so I can enjoy my day there.

    1. Mack opens up that entire D for the other players 2. Kevin White played last night?

    Which Mario Kart character is he?
  22. minnesotacubsfan
    gifs or it doesnt happen dammit
  23. minnesotacubsfan
    That isn't because he is getting better. That's because they stopped letting him throw anything other than 6-yard curls and screens. both his QB rating and QBR improved as well. If we are going to bemoan him on small sample sizes then we need to acknowledge him on small sample sizes as well.
  24. minnesotacubsfan
    I would guess they don't want his first game against this defensive line. when this DL gets a hold of the paper cutout named Bradford, we may see Rosen regardless.
  25. minnesotacubsfan
    lost in the curmudgeonry of yesterdays performance is the fact that Mitch is getting better: a nearly 75% completion rate against the Seahawks. baby steps that I'm sure we all wish were giant steps.
