  1. god i really hope zobrist makes us all look dumb. i'm really starting to resent his existence.
  2. they haven't said so officially, but bradford took the majority of the practice reps this week and most are expecting him to go.
  3. I'm trying to figure out your point of contention with what he said...just that the Cubs used to shift, so you don't think it's due to organizational philosophy?
  4. I would love to see Matt LaFleur coach this team next year. This Dallas/GB game is setting up to have Rodgers throw for 250 in the 2nd half and come back to win. Wouldn't hate it. I wanted to dismiss it at first, but I heard Florio on the radio the other day suggest that Jim Bob Cooter's name would be an obstacle for him in being hired as a head coach and face of an organization. I thought about it some more and the optics would definitely leave a team open to a lot of jokes. I wonder how much of an issue it would really be. I wouldn't let it keep me from hiring but there definitely is something unappealing about having a guy named Jim Bob Cooter as your head coach. It's also weird how he chooses to officially use his middle name (actually the shortened/nickname versions for both his names) which makes it sound even goofier.
  5. so freaking jealous of the rams for having mcvay
  6. mike glennon is pretty damn pink
  7. i would much rather have had TV jay over terrible over the hill jay playing
  8. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/columnists/ct-bears-biggs-essentials-spt-1009-20171008-column.html speaking of gruden, he's already started
  9. it's how good is their offensive line at run blocking, how good are their running backs (and you can include Mitch in this, as I'd imagine there'll be some designed run options for him in the offense). it can't just be based on stats (especially traditional ones) because of how much context matters. football, both in the inherent small sample sizes and in the more complex nature of the game, does not lend itself to that type of objective statistical analysis, and most elements have to be evaluated subjectively.
  10. i'm kind of excited for the gruden slobber fest tomorrow night if mitch manages to have a good debut against this defense
  11. either way, i honestly expect you to "win" this poll both on the inherent subjectivity of the term "elite" and on the fact that the bears are generally considered awful and that tends to generally paint/cloud perceptions of the entire team (i think that with trubisky, they'll be OKish rather than awful, especially once he gets his feet wet).
  12. The phrasing of the question is "Do the Bears have an elite running game?" if you're referencing the argument you're obviously referencing. These are not the same things, even though in 4 games where they've had one hand tied behind their backs, the production has been fine.
  13. Same. I'm trying to think of a more heartbreaking playoff loss since 2003. Maybe Game 3 against the Giants but we were up 2-0 coming into the game. So the most heartbreaking playoff loss in 14 years and I'm like...fine games 1 and 4 of the world series last year were pretty damn awful
  14. That's fine if you want him benched but come on, dude was World Series MVP he's not a piece of horsefeathers, just busted down and old I mean he's the only bad player on this team
  15. I'm not worried but can we please stop playing this piece of horsefeathers named zobrist
  16. Funny but game 3 is like the 1 game you actually want to start him given his success vs Scherzer No thanks. I'd be good with DFAing his old ass.
  17. I don't really think hfa is a huge thing in general but at least it's built into the rules in baseball
  18. Do you, sir.
  19. I bet you put a lot of stock into April batting averages too
