  1. or accidentally win 7 games because of parity and an only 16 game schedule variance can swing a season winning percentage much more than in any sport. two plays can literally be the difference between a .500 or a .375 winning percentage. I get that, but I suspect this team is already pretty far on the plus side of that variance. This isn't a .375 team that might get lucky and threaten .500. This is a horsefeathers team that has gotten lucky to threaten .375. but positive variance in the bank has no influence on future variance. this may be that shitty of a team, but they also have the 49ers, browns, and bengals on their schedule. those first two are games they'll be favored in, let alone win on luck, and the bengals are just as mediocre-bad as the bears. fortunately, on the plus side, they have almost certain losses against the eagles and vikings and they could easily lose both against the lions.
  2. kyle, let me introduce you to the nfl. the league where horsefeathers teams struggle to win 4 games in a full season? or accidentally win 7 games because of parity and an only 16 game schedule variance can swing a season winning percentage much more than in any sport. two plays can literally be the difference between a .500 or a .375 winning percentage.
  3. lock in that firing asap...i don't want to risk them riding this schedule to 7 wins or something and that being sold as progress. They were at home with the bye week against a decimated Packers team on a short week. I'm not super worried about winning too many games. kyle, let me introduce you to the nfl.

  5. I don’t hate it but honestly what’s the point unless you are evaluating Fangio’s ability to be a head coach. I know there’s been some trashing on him after this one but he’s the only coach with any sort of remote potential to be an NFL ahead coach on the staff lock in that firing asap...i don't want to risk them riding this schedule to 7 wins or something and that being sold as progress.
  6. just a local radio guy who was popular 20-30 years ago. sort of a steve dahl type. i wouldn't read much into his tweet. doubt it's true. but i'm still gonna hope.
  7. i had completely forgotten that kevin matthews existed, but anyway, i'm taking it with an optimistic but huge grain of salt [tweet] [/tweet]
  8. i'd start talking new contract with him and his agent, see what the parameters are. Inman, Meredith look like two # 2's. Draft early in the 1-2 rounds a speedster route runner type and dump White. They aren't dumping White. His contract is guaranteed for 5M+. Might as well hang on to him and hope he plays like the 7th overall player from the draft. I'd be good with hoping he plays like a rosterable wide receiver.
  9. It's crazy how many parallels there are with last year's Rams, even though that doesn't really mean much. Here's hoping we get a young offensive minded hot shot coaching this team next year too.
  10. Hit him in the hands He had to stretch to max extension to get his hands to it, with no defensive presence to force the throw there. Good NFL QBs put that throw two feet further down. Sure thing boss. Good NFL QBs never need their receivers to make catches on balls that don't hit then in the numbers.
  11. His accuracy was fine without even accounting for the fact that he's a rookie often throwing in only the most predicable of situations and wet conditions.
  12. Baseball is really boring and without the Cubs having never won, there is a lot less intrigue. Lol
  13. Weird how Kyle posts more in these game threads than seemingly any Cubs related threads anymore.
  14. Fox's use of challenges alone is enough to justify a firing. I can't wait til he is fired.
  15. To be fair, I don't think there's anything more he could've done on that last long play.
  16. I mean, that's what I want, so I'll take it. I'm not exactly rooting for loses, but if Trubisky plays well and we lose, I'm not heartbroken. Fox saving his job would be a major setback.
  17. Ugh. Great throw great catch there
  18. Jesus Christ wtf is that
  19. Inman looks like a competent NFL wr
  20. I know what would make him look great... Have 99% if his pass attempts be on 3rd and long.
  21. what
  22. i've never seen an unsigned FA talk so directly about how much he wants to go to a specific place...that's damn near dawson blank check horsefeathers right there (not that money is *actually* going to be a complete non-factor).
  23. Huh, wow that's surprising. Man, you'd think he would be into tennis with those kind of genes. Then again A. Agassi claimed he started to resent playing tennis because of his demanding father. I wonder if he's ever met K. Bryant's dad or gotten hitting lessons with him. yeah, both of them resented tennis and i'm pretty sure went out of their way not to steer their kids toward tennis
  24. lmaooooooooooooooooooooooo wait so his brother (the murderer) was the guy who logged on to say his brother got killed?
