    I just can't believe we blew 2 games we probably had a 95% probability to win at some point. Those 2 games would have made us 4-3 and in a playoff spot. Just have to let this season go.
  2. UMFan83
    We will be thankful for these collapses when we are drafting 7th or so in April

    Bears had a 10 point lead with 2:50 left against Detroit and lost. This week we have a 7 point lead with 1:10 left and manage to lose in regulation. Only sulleys teams
  4. UMFan83
    LMAO 2 straight late game collapses. Good stuff
  5. UMFan83
    Unbelievable
  6. UMFan83
    Great we're gonna give them plenty of time to win it
  7. UMFan83
    Time to win it on the last drive for the 3rd time this year Cutty
  8. UMFan83
    Lol whatever

    Fuller randomly decided to go around the defender and then leap fruitlessly making the catch easier and giving the WR room to run. That's how
  10. UMFan83
    What the [expletive] was that Fuller? Yeesh
  11. UMFan83
    Respect for sure but it was a bit weird that he had the outside easily (imo) but decided to cut in and go helmet to helmet with the defender to get in
  12. UMFan83
    Also Eddie Royal is like the Chris Conte of offensive players
  13. UMFan83
    Hope 22 is ok

    I don't think that's a coincedence. Good and historic teams that sellout all their home games and have huge waiting lists for season tickets, don't typically agree to give up home game revenue to agree to play overseas. It doesn't benefit the NFL to make them do so either. While the game has featured the Patriots, Giants, Cowboys, Bears, Steelers, Jets and Giants....the home teams for these games have historically been bad franchises or ones who have historically had trouble drawing fans consistently. Tampa twice. Dolphins twice. Jacksonville in the midst of 5 straight home games in London. Bad Rams, Raiders, and Saints teams. Didn't the NFL say that every NFL team will eventually give up a home game for London? Have the home teams other than Jacksonvile repeated as the home team?
  15. UMFan83
    Fun fact: out of 14 London games, only one has involved 2 teams at or above .500 at the time of the game: the 4-2 Buccaneers vs the 3-3 Bears in 2011
  16. UMFan83
    I could make a joke but...too easy
  17. UMFan83
    Still getting over that win but Duke/Miami ending is even stranger
  18. UMFan83
    Its gonna be tough to stay close in the playoff chase (if you can call it that in October) if everyone in the Central keeps killing it and the Hawks continue to tread water due to injuries and lack of depth
  19. UMFan83
    Which is a big part of its downfall. As a Simmons vehicle it made sense but without him it was just dead weight for ESPN unfortunately.
  20. UMFan83
    guess they are killing off the ESPN local sites or at least drastically reducing coverage.

    I believe in that he's one of the top FAs out there this season and the Cubs are covering all these bases for all types of offseason scenarios. For instance if there is a trade for a pitcher available and Soler has to be dealt, its an option that would give them a good hitter with very good defense in the OF. It doesn't mean he's a top option, just that he's an option. The language of how in the Cubs are "like Cubs expected to be in on" could be exaggerated by the agent though
  22. UMFan83
    In my opinion, the best ones they've done yet. And thankfully no sleeves.
  23. UMFan83
    Strangely enough he has been named a Ravens captain this week despite not being a member of the team.
  24. UMFan83
    How much of that was during his comeback from injury? The Royals basically treated his September like spring training for the playoffs. He was pretty bad during that time. Good call...24.4% before the injury, 30.2% after
  25. UMFan83
    I'd be ok with it as long as it wasn't more than 4 years. One of the best defensive OFs in the game and also a good hitter. Not sure how he will age though. Already strikes out around 22% of his ABs for his career, will that get worse as his bat slows? His strikeout rate this year (25.9%) was the highest of his career.
