  1. Why. "Best" case scenario is it improves us and we get the 10th pick instead of the 3rd. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Not a bad point except I'd be afraid they would make no changes at all if they tolerate this for the rest of the year. There's no way some changes aren't coming. I think Trestman is still 50/50. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  3. Tucker is Satan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Just please lose out the season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. It definitely would be best without any auto-bids though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Also can we not make the statement that a three loss team will be "playing for a national title" considering they'll have to win 2 games against favored opponents to get there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Maybe, as long as they get a share in the revenue of the Rd1 bowl games of the tourney, otherwise it won't fly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. So some three loss teams pulls off a huge conference upset and then has to make a Cinderella run in order to have national title importance. I'm okay with that occurring every few years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. In that case, where is the option where they get blown out and their best player tears an ACL tripping over first base on a meaningless bottom of the 9th HR. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Eh 0-162 would definitely result in hopelessness and not true misery. Misery>hopelessness. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Meatballs definitely don't know how to use spreadsheets or learn cap intricacies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Billy Beane played the game lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Flex Joique Bell v Mia Terrance Williams @ Jac Anthony Dixon v KC Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Hillman, Wallace Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. I remember talk of Mills moving inside when he was drafted. If we can accept some developmental pains, maybe this is the best move. Opens up moving Long outside and maybe fixing the OL with less overall investment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. [expletive] Roethlesberger and garbage TDs on 4 and 2. Went from being in a very reasonable striking range to needing 12 pts from Donnell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I mean even if we got caught tampering I wouldn't expect any more comp than we gave for Theo which I'd be fine with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. If the Cubs signed someone with amazing pitch framing abilities, that would probably be the day MLB implements robo-umps. sometimes you have to sacrifice for the greater good K Sulley Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. http://overthecap.com/salary-cap/chicago-bears/ Additional confirmation http://q.usatoday.com/2014/03/27/jared-allens-deal-with-the-bears-is-really-is-2-years-15-5m-plus-an-option/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. According to Overthecap it's all guaranteed so we're paying him 12.5 no matter what. Next year we walk away from it all. Not sure if pre/post June 1 changes any of that though or if it's even right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. I though Svuem had a three year deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. So I've spent all my Bears energy on draft and free agency. Looking ahead it seems there's a projected cap of 140 with the Bears committed at 105 with very little room to free up additional space. However 2016 will grant a lot more cap flexibility and probably another 10M in cap space. Our draft pool shouldn't be more than 5-5.5, mainly dependent on where we fall (I'm guessing 10th pick at worst). No one too notable is a FA with the most interesting names being Paea, DLP, Tillmam, and Conte. Should be around 20M to spend in new FA, and I'll assume about 5M buffer, so 15M. I think you have two choices, which is 1. Make one big splash on the front 4 with Suh. He'll take up most of your space, and you'll have to address your DB heavily in the top three rounds of the draft. 2. Split your FA allocation and try and cover both a starting S and Nickel/CB. It's a pretty decent looking DB pool and while you may not get the top at each position, you can probably allocate about 11M with some backloading if necessary and get two legit starters to upgrade and solidify the DB. With some leftover for other small upgrades- (maybe a slot WR or second TE, or DE help). Then you're really free to go BPA in the draft, with a focus on D (personally really liking the idea of Thompson or McKinney in the first- both would give us a nice speed boost at LB) Plan two though kind of hedges on our current young defensive players and seeing what we have the rest of the way). No reason not to get Ferguson, Sutton, Washington, Jones, and Bostic (once healthy) plenty of burn the rest of the way. While none are likely to be defensive fixtures if we see enough to establish them as rotational pieces/ starters it makes the outlook a lot better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. I'd be really concerned about where this leaves Renteria, especially in the eyes of the players. Well that's definitely true at this point. I guess if it had fallen apart like 3 days ago I wouldn't have cared though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. I definitely don't find myself as in love as the rest of the board seems. If it fell through I won't be heartbroken at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. So I caught about 30 seconds of Kap & Haugh and they're talking about how Maddon doesn't like the cutter. Is this true and how much should I care? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
