2013-14 Defending Champion Blackhawks Regular Season Thread
Soul replied to Drew Doughty's topic in Other Sports
3rd period comes and Chicago cringes. Come on knock it off Hawks. -
If there's an opportunity for WGN to show AFHV, they won't miss it.

There are myriad ways and reasons he can be traded for "a player who is already better than he is". But to be crystal clear, in my opinion the Cubs are in no position to trade him for minor leaguers. If they trade him the need to get better by the trade. It is not a good sign for 2014 if they trade him and don't get better. kI don't see why it matters since they aren't likely to be competing for the division with or without him this hear. He's been very inconsistent with occasional bouts of greatness. He's shown enough that we could probably entice someone to give up a good package of prospects for him this offseason. My opinion is that he's a mid rotation starter but can bring back more value than that in a trade, so they should pull the trigger in that scenario. I realize there are people who think he's a future ace, but I don't see it. i'm just tired of punting. I'm not a big fan of his either, but with all due respect to Tavis Wood, circa 2013, Shark is the best pitcher on the team. It makes more sense to me to try to work out a reasonable contract and if he's not amenable, trade him at the deadline. You don't like him but we should just keep him around because he's the best of the mediocre? Pass.

Desperation.

Here they come

Nobody's tanking, stop with that.

I'm not sure if Tucker is the problem. It's just Emery and mostly Angelo left us with an aging defense that hit it's peak already. Agree. I wish Tucker would make better adjustments but I'm not sure you can adequately judge him when nearly half the (yes, admittedly aging) starters are out. I just don't know what he's actually doing that's of value. The whole carry on Lovie's scheme thing was nice, but it's not going to work to have one of your primary leaders do nothing but follow a dead regime. So far he just seems like a non-entity to me, and I'd like something more.

Once again, ref right there, can't see the obvious
-
Whatever we do on D, let's do it without Tucker.
-
House is really good.
-
I still don't see what would have caused such an injury on that play.
-
Has to be.
-
Sad thing is I'm more concerned about the defense than Cutler. Trestman made great adjustments and McCown has plenty of weapons. Not ideal but if the defense continues to be the worst in the league who cares? I'm just concerned about the whole damn thing.
-
Everyone should know the defense sucks. Plus an unreal number of injuries in one game. That doesn't have much to do with getting jobbed by the refs.
-
Suck me.
-
And lose because Gould missed a 30 yard field goal. One I'm not convinced he missed...
-
Unreal. Every single call has gone against the Bears
-
These refs are the worst
-
How many more illegal hits does merriweather get?!!? Eject him!
-
In the NFL' s make-it-up-as-you-go rulebook, everything is a potential penalty.
-
Well this is probably it, gentlemen.
-
I just want to know when the NFL is going to get serious about reffing.
-
We just got ripped off blind, holy crap
-
Briggs looks like he's going to come back
-
That's 15 yards and open your pocketbook, hoss.
