  1. Could you even hit the uprights 4/4 if you tried
  2. It's only right that this would happen after my posts about parkey At least it's a blowout
  3. To add to this, if the Cubs could horsefeathers up 1/16 of the season in one night I would be just as crazy as you guys in those threads
  4. I broke a cell phone during game seven and almost did after bears Packers this year. I'm not a sane person.
  5. Apparently Harper was spotted at the Blackhawks game last night or something? I know there was the White Sox thing, but maybe Charles the Cat was right about him meeting with the Cubs this weekend, too.
  6. BDB/PWC's doom bonering game has been highly underrated here since like 2015...maybe because it's always masked/softened with something like "but I don't know as much as you guys so I hope you're right" or "don't get me wrong, i really want < good thing> to happen, but" You don't even watch baseball anymore until the playoffs because you're too cool, so I don't give a horsefeathers what you think. you've confused "don't really get emotional about a game" with "don't even watch" i'll have you know i wasted plenty of hours watching regular season cubs in 2018
  7. Nagging, career-curtailing injury immediately follows. or we could go with: prior rolling around on the ground grabbing on his shoulder sammy's helmet exploding d-lee's wrist nomar grabbing his crotch kb's slide (did we actually see this happen?)
  8. Don't be willfully obtuse, it's a really bad look. BDB/PWC's doom bonering game has been highly underrated here since like 2015...maybe because it's always masked/softened with something like "but I don't know as much as you guys so I hope you're right" or "don't get me wrong, i really want < good thing> to happen, but"
  9. literally in that article from this week But clickbait headlines
  10. i had similar thoughts. i feel inclined to think it's more correlation more than anything. either way, they're in good company, at least. and the teams in the division are behind by a pretty wide margin, so maybe that's something.
  11. [tweet] [/tweet] https://theathletic.com/644267/2018/11/09/one-important-statistic-that-shows-why-the-bears-could-win-the-nfc-north-yards-per-point/ I'll post a snippet for non-subscribers Packers 27th, Lions 24th, and Vikings 21st
  12. yeah, i mean, opt-outs are just another way of providing value, no different than money or whatever the hell else. you can try to not give them out, but you better be offering a lot more money in exchange.
  13. 3 years from now you're talking about essentially a different franchise. Bryant, Baez, Rizzo, Lester, Zobrist, Hendricks, Schwarber, Montgomery, Quintana, the whole bullpen sans Edwards, all at free agency. If anything Harper extends your window of competitiveness by having a star caliber player to build around instead of completely starting from scratch and spending your money on worse players than Harper anyway. Great. Sounds like we'd be the Angels, just not quite as good. what the hell are you talking about? jesus
  14. Carter is going to be a stud
  15. he hit 89% of his kicks his first year, 32/36 (made pro-bowl, for whatever that is worth), looks like he got hurt and went on IR in 2015, made 80% in 2016, and 91% in 2017...how's that not relatively competent? I'll concede the age argument, being only 26 and having time on his side to improve, but he hasn't had a lot of kicking experience and he's bounced around a good bit. that makes me question his competency a lot despite hitting 89% of 23 fg's or so in the last few years. Thats not a lot of attempts. And, he's struggled over 40 yards a good bit he's 70% on 43 attempts over 40 yards for his career...i honestly don't know if that's good or bad...my guess is it's mediocre.
  16. i'd agree with that. of course, you could just about make that case for all but like 2-3 nba teams (most of which, yes, are way better than the bulls).
  17. he hit 89% of his kicks his first year, 32/36 (made pro-bowl, for whatever that is worth), looks like he got hurt and went on IR in 2015, made 80% in 2016, and 91% in 2017...how's that not relatively competent?
  18. I just dont see him as the future. Love to be wrong I mean yes you'd like to have a solid stable kicker like we had with Gould for the previous decade but among concerns for the Bears, having a kicker of the future is pretty low. plus he's 26...so even if having a kicker of the future were a thing, as long as he stays relatively competent, like he has been, he probably will be here for the foreseeable future.
  19. idk what the hell hickey did well anyway. he can go.
