    Don't look now but there's a reasonably realistic chance to get to 90 wins at this point. Need to go 19-10.
  2. David
    Ah, gotcha. Maybe it's been circulating again because the anniversary just passed. Yeah, that pissed me off too. Can't say I'm surprised that either one of them are Trumpers though.

    Am I missing something with posting this now/here? Did something come up recently about this?

    Here's another question... If you could pick either scenario, which are you taking? Big disclaimer - there are no long term ramifications to be gleaned. It will have no bearing on the future of either QB - good or bad. 1) Fields balls out, 350+ yards and 3+ TD, Love is bad, and the Bears win big. Brewers sweep the Cubs. 2) Jordan Love balls out, Fields is bad, Bears lose. Cubs sweep Brewers. I'm picking the first one but feeling a little dirty about it. I have a feeling I know what PacklandVA is gonna pick.

    Yeah that was the first time I ever thought about an emotional hedge lol, but I wasn't old enough to bet and didn't really have any betting options anyway (or know a bookie lol)
  6. David
    Yeah, I was thinking about goony's emotional hedge idea and it occurred to me it would have to be a pretty damn big bet for it to take the sting off losing to those horsefeatherss again, especially now that the witch is dead (well, on the Jets).

    Enough discourse about training camp interceptions, missed practices, preseason YAC, and whatever other nonsense. Worst discourse that ever discoursed. It's time to watch Justin Fields take the leap and be what we've all been waiting basically our entire lives for. Bears are anywhere from 1.5 - 2 pt favorites, depending on the book (and juice).

    now this i can get behind

    Who is "we?" A decent amount of people here aren't dumb, so I'd imagine many here (myself included) are in the camp of playing anyone important as little as possible in the preseason. (Also, that's not the same thing as the stupidity of Nagy not giving Fields any reps with the starters in camp.) If anything, I was annoyed that Eberflus wanted to play guys more. Anyway, what raw said.

    Just stuff I noticed he liked and/or followed a couple years ago, esp around the height of the pandemic. I honestly don't remember specifically. Just remember being put off and/or surprised. I don't remember anything super extreme or egregious... but enough for me to be pretty sure he didn't quit because of PTR's political ties. His account has zero likes or follows now so 🤷‍♂️

    I mean, if he can work for Reinsdorf... I also don't think his politics are what you (apparently?) think they are, but he's apparently scrubbed his Twitter likes and follows, so I can't really show you evidence.

    Well, that sucked.

    SHEESH

    Let's goooo. Wish we had our IF defense at full strength with Kyle going.

    These blackout rules are so dumb. I'm guessing you have no way to watch the Atlanta broadcast, either?

    You don't see the difference between evaluating off of 4+ months/100+ games worth of performance over 3-4 weeks/20-25 games? And why would I side so heavily with a projection model that has Cody Bellinger probably with a 100-105 wRC+ the rest of the way over the drastically different (and precedented, to some extent - either way there are clear explanations for the obvious uptick) reality that we've seen over 4 months? Or one that thinks Justin Steele is an OK pitcher? The projection systems are obviously useful in a broad sense but you can't be a slave to them, either.
  21. David
    Sure, except for the part where this is August, not April.
  22. David
    All it took was a little positive variance to get us back on our game.
  23. David
    Let it be known that like 15 years ago I had this exact same argument with him and that is why I (mostly) have avoided getting involved this time around

    And the record has improved, lol
