    It always kind of felt he was just a FO spy or something anyways. Don't need it now, right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I don't know a ton about College football coaches but just based on record, these seem like pretty crappy hires for Florida and Nebraska. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I think you gotta account for Jays fumbles as that causes a big hit to his overall efficiency over a "normal" QB. Also re: Clements, I though Philbin was the QB whisperer there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    All that crazy [expletive] will line up for week 17 and the Bears will lose to Minn 31-0. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I definitely gave up on the playoff machine after last week. Now giving me a reverse standings generator (yea you could use Yahoo) and I'd start my addiction back up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    sorting offers? how long could that possibly take? a couple of hours? You'd think the most important thing is years and total salary but maybe they're going through all the other details. Could me there are offers with vesting options or some otherwise complex structure and stuff or even them just going through seemingly small stuff like AS bonus if the offers are close. Still shouldn't take too long from the lawyers standpoint, but maybe longer to relay all that info to Lester? Or just agent posturing to try and drive up offers. Or Muskat trying to buy time on her end and we're not to the point off all final offers being in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My future sister in law is a Cowboys fan - though she roots for the Bears when Dallas isn't involved. I guess I'm okay with a win. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I think the authors main point is the advanced stats aren't accounting for it properly. Essentially we are possibly looking at a "decision making skill" which could be evaluated on a normalized basis or specific to situation (runners, personnel, game score, etc) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk But errors are included in UZR, unless he's more prone to errors in high leverage situations his error rate would already be accounted for. Maybe I'm adding too much of my own thoughts on top of the authors (re- decision making), but he pretty clearly states throwing errors aren't being properly accounted for. Maybe it's for a different reason, that he doesn't expand on, but that is his point I believe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    As in he puts himself in more difficult throwing positions or he has more throws? I can't imagine the increased throws should result in that much additional errors as the fld% would remain constant. If it's just that the throws are more difficult, isn't a non-throw part of the decision process a good defender needs to have. Better to field a tough grounder and allow the base hit than make an errant throw an add bases. You still have saved bases, including on advancing runners- you have to know not to give that right back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'm feeling a sloppy game from both sides. Two turnovers from each side. Cowboys win TOP and put up two complete offensive drives to the Bears one. 24-14 Cowboys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I know as fans we don't necessarily have a great idea whether Bryant can handle third, but you have to hope the FO has a better idea and doesn't need spring training or a few months to still figure out. It's not like it's a position change. He's been playing it all along. Even if you think he may eventually move off the position, what we're really looking at is the next year or two and not when he's 29 years old. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    With this week all about wrapped up it confirms that top 8 is all but out of the question. Maybe one team could decide to go off on a win streak, but by and large none of the worst teams have even a relatively easy schedule. Projecting their record out, its hard to see anything higher than their current 11, even with a week 17 win in Minnesota, but it is the NFL and even one win against Dal/Det/NO could drop them down several spots.

    New Orleans and Atlanta both with big wins... NFC South champ may accomplish winning record afterall

    Not a rant, but a random observation of my two teams. I had strong weeks with both teams that secured my playoff berth. However in each league my final standings will be determined by Ryan Tannehill tomorrow. And there is a line where he could helps me in both, but it is pretty narrow. More likely he either drops me a spot in both or bumps me a spot in both. Just weird, and although the regular season standings are fairly meaningless I may rant about this is 2 weeks if it gave me the harder draw in hindsight.

    I almost did this too and then had the thought that it's the Bears defense, Bush is out, and he's bound to have at least a half decent day. Glad I did. Also, scored the most points in my league today with Jimmy Graham in my starting lineup and putting up a zero. Without a doubt my worst first round pick ever. Worked out okay. He only outpaced his flex counterpart by 8 and I'm going to win comfortably anyways. Brees finally putting it together and Bills D made my week, even with Ellington going out.

    This is such bizarre thinking to me when Phillips would be hiring the new GM. It's so easy who I'd rather make a hire given those options. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    he does kind of seem like a classic "recruit amazingly for two years but the team never gets good and everything falls apart" guy. Yeah, the red ass thing doesn't last very long. I have a hard time seeing him getting along with Cutler. He (or any coach) really just needs to get along with Cutler for one year. And obviously if it blows up during year one... you do whatever you have to do in season to subside it knowing you can walk away without much pain that off-season. A two year arrangement with Cutler would be ideal though. I'm not really high on Harbaugh for what he'll command (not just in salary, but I believe FO duties. Don't think he'd necessarily ask/need the full GM duties, but may want final say in certain matters).
  24. WrigleyField 22
    Seriously what will Harbaugh take? 4/30 - 5/40 range? Falcons and Jets likely to make a strong push, not to mention Michigan. It will be fierce competition.
  25. WrigleyField 22
    Why? Are you looking at it from a McCaskey viewpoint or Emery? If I'm Emery I'm thinking surely I can surely do better this time. If I'm McCaskeys I guess I'm thinking I need a splash if I'm gonna pay two coaches for two years. Also to win the Harbaugh sweepstakes against what is likely many other suitors, you may be canning Emery to do so and giving Harbaugh some FO control. Anyone going after Harbaugh is gonna have a truckload of cash so I think FO control would help seal it, otherwise he's gonna just choose whichever roster he likes best.
