Cubs (Boyd) vs Pirates (Oviedo): 9/17/25, 11:35am
Soul replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Totally random thought. When Happ first starting playing for the Cubs I never would have thought he would be the longest tenured Cub. He's consistently worked on his game, especially on defense where later in his career he's won the GG 3 times but also just being OPS+ well above the 100 mark every year. It's frustrating when he goes on these slumps but he always bounces back. He's a huge reason the Cubs turned it back on coming down the stretch this year. -

Holy moly what a catch. -
Week 3: Bears vs Cowboys Sunday at 3:25 on FOX
Soul replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
I remember that. There was also a tape review on YouTube - might have been Warner - where he was saying it’s the same guy every week. He didn’t explicitly call out DJ but it seemed pretty obvious. -
Dak is going to have a party next week. It's going to be butt ugly. Maybe Caleb can impress. That's all I'm hoping for. Bears will lose by at least two touchdowns, more likely three. 48-27 Cowboys.
-
Stroud and Daniels have looked average so far. According to Aikman sacks are the QB’s fault so I guess Stroud and everyone else is at fault for not having time to throw (/sarcasm). But Stroud really did not look good to me. That non-interception was a stinky decision of the highest order. We will probably see better from him than that but will he and Daniels be pure magic like they were? I doubt that. I still wonder if Daniels can stay healthy long term.

Can’t remember who, but last year there was some commentary about DJ to this effect. Wouldn’t surprise me. -
-
I didn't want to be that specific but isn't it at least some of their responsibility to get the team to week 1 healthy? That has to be part of the job right?
-
The Bean Has Herpes. LOL.
-
Johnson is now out “indefinitely.”
-
Watching Vikings fans have to shut the hell up as they realized their offense wasn’t going to go anywhere was immensely gratifying. Jared Allen can choke on that stupid horn.
-
They get a taste of success and go from lovable losers to Philly. Their pass rush clobbers Caleb on the head and they boo for 15 minutes even though the game was already won. I didn’t think it was possible to start hating a city’s fans so quick.

/thread (IMO of course)
-
Falcons signed Romo (kicker) this week and he’s 5-5 including a 54-yarder which would have been good from further. He was actually on the Bears’ practice squad in 2023, and has bounced around the league and the XFL. Point being, there’s likely an upgrade at kicker to be had at any time for the Bears.
-
This is my position at the end of the day. Warren was the right pick there. I’m so sick of going HUH? at a first round Bears pick. It happens way too often.
-
They were beaten to the punch at least once in the draft. That happens but I don’t know why there doesn’t seem to have been a plan B.
-
I don’t think the Bears did a “true up” of Poles to match BJ, only to abandon that after one bad season. Warren though? I have no idea about him.
-
Man I hope to hell I’m wrong about Loveland. I really do.
-
Mostly the 2nd part for me. There’s still a lot of untapped potential with players coming out of college. The better teams make the most of what they get.
-
I don’t think it will unless Warren tanks out though. As a pick I can’t see a world where you take the injured guy who is ranked lower by just about everyone over the higher-ranked healthy guy. But no one will really care if Loveland actually is good.
-
Poles got an extension. Through 2029. Lord have mercy. They needed to align HC & GM at some point though. So they are stuck with each other. And we are stuck with them. I hope BJ can lift this team out of the cellar but there are real headwinds here.
-
I held my tongue on draft day but that was so bizarre. Plus Loveland had a very serious shoulder injury. It was a layup pick. You take Warren. A child could make that pick.
-
Drops will happen though. I get those were bad. I don’t think we just expect perfection and calculate stats as if receiving was 100% as a base expectation.
-
I guess that’s all we can really look for with this bunch. Is the QB looking more comfortable. Does the offense look like it is making progress.
-
Good to know we drafted a mega punter.
