  1. Yep he's replacement level player. Might as well move on.
  2. Welp, next year maybe we ge a new era of Bears-Packers
  3. Ugh Jackson. Use your [expletive] arms on a tackle attempt.
  4. And ideally a quick stop. Can't let him eat 6 minutes and settle for a FG even though it'd still be a 1 score game.
  5. Wanna see Rodgers on his back three times in a row now.
  6. And an awful hold call on a should be TD because we don't deserve nice things.
  7. Okay just bring back Nagy as play caller lol
  8. Lol come on, just cheer for the comeback. This is a sad way to be a fan.
  9. This isn't a very good Packers team, but the Bears are just so average and they're the type of average that just seems uglier when they're bad.
  10. Well maybe we'll get 30 Justin Fields passes now like many wanted.
  11. This is an annoying game right now. Fields not looking good today. D keeps doing its job though.
  12. This taunting stuff is just miserable. Who the eff asked for this?!?
  13. Been waiting for this move. They should have done it week 1 to max its effect, but it makes sense. Edit they apparently didn't max out this either it looks like. And they probably should of, but hopefully it ends up moot. But I'm a bit concerned teams are gonna tack on more IR cap hits this year and aren't planning rnoigh space accordingly.
  14. http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/20211013/jim-odonnell-its-a-bird-its-a-pain-x2014-its-bunker-bill-carstanjen-at-arlington-trackside
  15. I doubt a blue line extension is very viable. You need daily ridership, not a one off extension to an entertainment district. There is probably some viable rail projects for intercity urban areas and long distance HSR, but for intermittent medium to low density transit, buses and BRT are probably the best bet.
  16. Exactly. Obviously creating an entire little village hopefully helps the congestion by spreading out arrival/departure, but I'd be shocked if it's much more than 5k who ultimately take some form of mass transit outside of like 2 miles from Arlington Park, including the train. I think that entire line does like 40k weekday daily riders and that stop 1.8k. I'd be curious how many riders took that stop on racetrack days, but I'd be shocked if the total line/stop capacity isn't way more limited than people believe.
  17. How on earth is that better than Arlington Heights? They both look to be about the same distance from downtown. Certainly not by mileage. It is closer. Although I was mistaken before and it's serviced by a metra not an L stop. Anyways when I originally brought it up, I was much more thinking about it having been an option during the negotiations around the SF renovation. But hell, I don't understand why the McDome plan failed either.. Just because it was a dome instead of outdoor? The article bringing up Comiskey is interesting. The ideal would have been to make them a package deal in the early 90s. Now it seems like it would be awkward with the way Comiskey is positioned on the lot. It's possible I guess, but probably not ideal. Arlington Heights is pretty clearly better than Southworks now though. Southworks Pros: 1. Closer to density of Chicago 2. Slightly better transit. Although no L line, the proximity to downtown probably lends itself better to things like bus traffic (maybe even BRT routes) Cons: 1. Environmental cleanup cost Arlington Heights pros: 1. What it loses in density proximity to Chicago it probably makes up for in proximity to wealthy NW and North fanbase. 2. Much easier to deal with AH city than Chicago as far as negotiating any land use. Cons: 1. The Metra stop is very likely overrated. That line doesn't have a lot of traffic today and I don't think we can assume it will just traffic 20k fans or something. It's a car-centric development.
  18. The Denny Green AZ game, where he stole the ball from the RB and Tillman took it for a TD. I think that pretty much drove poor Denny insane and the resulting press conference after the game is legendary. That's the one I really remember. for me, that one comes to mind, the fumble return at the falcons in his second year (although all he really did was pick it up and run), and just him chasing vick around in that freezing cold 2005 game when rex took over at halftime. one that also always comes to mind but wasn't that big of a deal was his TD catch when he lined up at TE... i think that was against the redskins in 01? FG fake I think. That might be one of my most favorable Lach moments which is kinda weird.
  19. I don't think the gameplan against the Raiders is altogether bad. I'd like a few more shots down the field and if they do get a lead I'd like to see them be more agressive, but between the Lions and Raiders games you can see a plan/scheme that works coming together. Key to limiting Rodgers is getting a rush with 4. Which they've been doing. If they can do that and drop 7 consistently, they can hold Rodgers to a few scores.
  20. Deleted tweet?
  21. Summary of deep pass attempts yesterday.
  22. Packers point differential on the year, (2). Not an upset. 8-) (yes I know the Bears point differential).
  23. Sure a Herbert like season would be incredibly boner producing but perhaps just as a point of reference, Josh Allen didn't have his first 300 yard game until week 1 of year 3. Now actually, if it takes Fields THAT LONG, it would be pretty bad since Allen was very raw coming out, but I'm okay giving it until at least the bye week before I get concerned about how much Fields is throwing the ball.
  24. Some good points. And I know you’ve already agreed with me about the playcalling today but it’s the perfect example. Why be so predictable on 3rd and short and let 2 drives die because you running it straight between the tackles? Why run on like 90% of your first downs. Let fields do a little more and maybe we put away that game in the 3rd quarter Yea, it would probably require a rewatch. Maybe there was a little of the Raiders purposefully taking away the deep game. In which case the running game wasn't actually as good as it looked today. If at some point a team wants to sell out for the run, I think Fields will burn 'em deep. But I don't think there's anything harmful about Fields development of letting this O take what Ds will give them at this stage.
  25. Well they lost so...
