I need some hockey minds that have been following more closely to confirm. Obviously they are playing like a beast right now and that's super encouraging but I do remember reading that they were winning despite poor CORSI/possession numbers which screams a bit of regression is due. I'm still wary of their overall depth with so many rookies and that this will eventually hurt them as the season goes on (not to the point of missing the playoffs or anything, just to the point where they aren't taking points in every single game).
-
Yeah for someone else
-
All the more reason why announcing your schedule before the previous concludes is moronic. How is it not the ring ceremony at Wrigley? In whatever year the Nationals opened their new park, the MLB actually moved a Nats-Braves game scheduled for later in the year to Sunday Night Baseball before Opening Day so they could show 1st game at the park. I was hoping they would find a way to do something like this for the Cubs. I mean I know I'm a homer, but I would think having the entire attention of the baseball world and showing the Cubs first game at Wrigley since winning the title would be a huge draw. I guess its possible the Cubs requested that not to happen just in case their offseason rennovation work wasn't done in time.

I know he's having a down year, but I would put Alshon in there. Possibly Amos I'm not putting Alshon on there because he's on the franchise tag and there doesn't seem to be a lot of positive signs for him being here long term. With regards to Amos, I liked him last year. Admittedly I've watched and followed the Bears as lightly as I ever have this year and I haven't heard much about him either way this year. Edit: Also because of the PEDs
-
Rumors that Speight is out for the year with a broken collarbone. Great timing right 2 weeks before the OSU game...
-
Went on to say something about how they were astounded at the lack of preparation by Cutler
-
ESPN has "flexed" Opening Day between the Cubs and Cardinals in St Louis to Sunday. Really wish that game was at Wrigley.
-
How many players on this current roster would you say are possible/probable pieces for the future given what you've seen? Long Whitehair Howard Hicks Goldman Freeman Trevathan Floyd White? Some of these guys might only be pieces for 3 or so years (like the FA guys) and some of them might need more time to be definite future pieces. Also there might be other guys with potential to be on this list that aren't yet. Also I know Floyd is a stretch but I like what I've seen so far and he has 1st round pedigree so I'm putting him on there.
-
Sounds like Howard has an ankle/achillies injury. Yay
-
Not only an embarrassing loss but injuries to Long, Massie, Sutton and Goldman
-
I'm starting to think the Bears are not that good
-
So glad we hired the coach that will maximize talent and have his team prepared to play coming off a bye week
-
Doesn't look like Kyle Long banging on the cart did Cutler much good. This is one of his worst games in a bears uniform
-
This is going to be a strange question. 2 QB league but the second QB spot is really a QB/RB/WR flex. Almost always makes sense to start a QB here Stafford is on a bye so... Start 1 QB 3 RB and 1 Q/R/W flex from the following: Russell Wilson Bryce Petty Ezekiel Elliott Melvin Gordon Todd Gurley Rashard Jennings Wilson Elliott and Gordon are locks obviously. I think it's really coming down to picking 2 of Gurley Kelley Petty
-
So they want to sign him to...get revenge on us? http://chicagocubsonline.com/archives/2016/11/report-cardinals-make-play-dexter-fowler.php

Then you strangely have no clue the power that Iowa City holds over Michigan. Your horsefeathering basketball arena is a place wolverines go to die as well. Actually this feels kind of good to get this worked up over sports again. I thought I was going to be permanently numb Nah, it does feels like we always play Michigan tough. I still lose sleep over Iowa's game at the Big House in 1997. I really thought Michigan was almost Alabama good (still may be, they just missed some big plays and made some dumb ones) and I didn't see how Iowa could hang with them. If you think about it coming into this game they struggled against Colorado, struggled against Wisconsin and curb stomped Penn State. All at home. They played 2 road games before this, one was close enough to be fairly close against a team that isn't going bowling. Sure they've completely destroyed all the other cupcakes we've played but they've played 3 good teams before today and had issues with 2 of them. I have no idea how Penn State is any good
-
Man that was probably the most painful Michigan football loss in 9 years and it doesn't even mean all that much in terms of their shot at the playoffs

The 2 best seasons since Carr retired, Michigan has gone 20-3. 2 of those losses were to Iowa at Kinnick horsefeathering stadium
-
horsefeathers Iowa and horsefeathers Kinnick stadium Iowa NSBers you're cool. This horsefeathering blows.
-
Kinnick is poison to Michigan. Had a really bad feeling heading into this one as everyone else was happily predicting 30 point wins
-
Just execution failures all over. Give a lot of credit to Iowa but Michigan is also doing everything possible to lose his game and with that penalty it looks fairly likely that they will
-
Let's say Michigan loses this (and I hope not). With Clemson and Washington also losing who is your new top 4? Bama obviously. Ohio St and Louisville almost certainly. The 4th spot would have to be between Clemson and Michigan right? Can't see a 2 loss Wisconsin or Penm State over the 1 loss teams. Maybe Texas A&m against since they seem to like them? Edit: except they are losing with 30 secs left. What a wild day. 2,3,4,8,9 could all go down
-
I have watched over 7 million football games, and that is the first time I have ever seen that called The funny thing (well for me I guess) is that by how they described it (have to give the center a second before barreling them over) the call was dubious
-
The funny thing is that Michigan can hypothetically afford to lose this game if you believe that there is no way a 1 loss Big Ten champion could be left out of the playoff
