  1. Gotta get points there. SMH. Sims with a flat out drop missed a huge play.
  2. So I've never really watched Allen Robinson play (with Jags or PSU), but is it fair to say he's a prime Brandon Marshall or does he got more downfield game like Jeffery? Jeffery but better route runner.
  3. Timeouts suck. New coach with exotic offense side effects.
  4. He and Garrett are extremely enviable building blocks Garrett could legit win Defensive POTY. Browns have a ton of talent. Whether they have the coaching to bring them together as a team.....who knows?
  5. The opponent’s defense doesn’t matter at all. I’m sure Mitch will light up the Vikings and Patriots when they play. Patriots were 32nd in passing yards allowed last year. Mitch only threw 1 INT in 2 games vs the Vikings, including his 1st ever NFL start. And horsefeathers a Jinx.
  6. All the QBs I was told was better than Trubisky seem to be struggling today. Watson: 16-30, 162 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT Garoppolo: 15-31, 1 TD, 2 INTs
  7. Yeah, if you give Amos decent money, you're looking at paying over 5Mil for every defensive starter other than whoever is the opposite DE of Hicks and Jackson. I like Amos, but he's probably as replaceable as anyone on the defense, except maybe Trevathan if Smith is a true stud. Also worth noting, if you let Amos test free agency and someone gives him 7-8Mil/year.....the Bears would likely be looking at a comp pick in 2020. It's been so long since the Bears had one, and with so much of the core together thru 2020, they probably aren't going to be splurging for any more FAs like they did this year. And they may actually lose a decent player or two for a change. If Amos signs a contract similar to Tony Jefferson, someone signs Callahan to a decent sized contract, then White and Massie get deals elsewhere.....the Bears probably can get a 4th round comp pick in 2020, assuming they don't make a big signing.
  8. If he gets caught he has negative value.
  9. Hey, pitcher with no control issues as a Cub is having control issues in the rain. Maybe he shouldn't have to pitch in the rain
  10. That is the rule. I think it was a touchback. The rule is stupid though.
  11. Cubs best offensive and defensive catcher comes thru!
  12. Yeah, they CAN get it done with Amos. But I'm guessing they use that 20Mil (30Mil with cuts to Sims, Trevathan) on replacing Massie at RT and probably prioritize nickel CB (Callahan also a FA) over safety. With Jackson back there and a potentially dominant front 7, Amos really isn't important enough in this defense to pay big money.
  13. Doesn't look good today out this way. Granted, I'm like 4 hours away from DC, but definitely raining here today and last I checked 100% chance tomorrow.
  14. The biggest contract handed out to a FA safety this offseason was 3 years 16.3 mil to Kurt Coleman. Everyone admits now that's an overpay as that's just not the market for safeties this year. You still have a couple of starting caliber safeties not even on a team. Because PFF thinks Amos is a God, his agent has seen that. His agent is going to want a contract fit for a guy that a respectable website (by some) regard as one of the top safeties in the league. I think Amos will be looking for Tony Jefferson type money. 4 years/34Mil. I'd be very surprised if the Bears give him that any time this season now that they've tied up a ton of money. They may discuss the franchise tag with him after the season. But right now, I think Amos looks like the fall guy for the Bears big spending this offseason. The Bears have Bush who may be able to take over for much cheaper, with hopefully only a little drop off. They could also do what they've done like 9 times in the last 11 years and draft a safety in the midrounds again.
  15. Seriously; any particular reason to not use Happ there? LaStella was my thought. But yeah, Happ comes in on D afterward.
  16. I can't get this game to work on ESPN+, but did Almora just let go the only strike thrown in that AB?
  17. Starting to feel like the only time the Cubs pitchers give up runs, it's because of Murphy's bad defense and strike zone shenanigans by the HP ump.
  18. Is Wilson not available today? Would have been nice to have him against Moosetacos.
  19. Those pitches weren't even close Carl.
