  1. Other way around, right? England win by any amount doesn't effect US-Iran...? I think it just allows them to bunker down a bit and make sure they don’t lose They'll bunker either way though right?
  2. Unless England starts to rout Wales. Then tactics could change, pending the score in our game. Other way around, right? England win by any amount doesn't effect US-Iran...?
  3. Beat Iran and US goes through. Today is irrelevant at this point. Unless GD comes into play if England sails it in against Wales. But I guess the goal is mainly to play it safe, stay fresh for Iran and a 2 goal loss is no big deal.
  4. Wait draw-draw leaves them no chance right? That puts them at 3 points and Iran and England would have 4 each regardless of Wales-England result. Lose and England likely coasts against Wales which makes GD important even if the US beats Iran. Iran plays for tie Tie and England also can coast against Wales, but GD isn't a factor anymore if US wins. Iran plays for tie. Win and England has to try against Wales for at least a tie. But US would still need to at least draw against Iran. But they'd be in with a W. Iran has to play to W. Am in trying to talk myself into a draw/close loss is the best bet? Damn soccer is dumb.
  5. If we win today, we go through of we don't lose to Iran. If we draw, we can go through If England win or draw v Wales and we draw or win v Iran. If we lose, we can still go through by beating Iran as long we still beat them and Wales on GD, which would obviously be very likely as long as we don't get curb stomped by England. wales is on one point so they have to beat England next round to advance. Assuming that doesn’t happen, then the result against England doesn’t matter for the US. They could lose by 100 goals but as long as they beat Iran, they are through. Iran will probably play for a draw if the US don’t beat England, but to that I would say that if you can’t beat wales or Iran then you don’t really deserve to advance. Hard go say a point or 3 wouldn't matter, but I see what you mean. They can get creamed and still be in play with a W against Iran. So is an agressive gameplan the right approach? A loss by however much, you still need to win against Iran. But a win opens up a path where an Iran draw also gets you in. Edit- or a path where England shits the bed against Wales too
  6. Acquire a fake positive covid test.
  7. I have no idea how to feel about this. Like there's clearly no reason to rush him. But they can't just hold him out if he's healthy. There still seems to be some uncertainty if there's a real joint injury or more of a banged up scenario. There's no way he'll be completely healed and healthy, Jets pass rush is going to spend the day in Bears backfield, absolutely no reason to play him and expose his shoulder to further injury. Because his current injury makes him more susceptible to further damage or because stepping out on the field against a great pass rush and this OLine opens him up to injury? There's a big difference. I'm still pretty sympathetic to the latter, but that script was also written 8 months ago and they got 11 games through as is.
  8. As he states down thread, versatility in alignment isn't necessarily equal to good, but for a rookie to top the liat likely speaks volumes. And he's gotten plenty of accolodatea in the "good" department too.

  10. Are the Bears tanking? Will Fields play? Will Zach Wilson be benched? This dude's coin hasn't been wrong and he says Bears win Rooting interests for the Bears tank watch: Lions over Bills Giants over Cowboys Vikings over Patriots Broncos over Panthers Browns over Buccs Jaguars over Ravens Texans over Dolphins Titans over Bengals Commanders over Falcons Cardinals over Chargers Raiders over Seahawks Rams over Chiefs Saints over 49ers Packers over Eagles Steelers over Colts Jets over Bears
  11. My best attempt at picking the rooting interests for Bears draft positioning (mostly its cheering for the 3 and 4 win teams to win, but also a little SOS cheering) Lions over Bills Giants over Cowboys Vikings over Patriots Broncos over Panthers Browns over Buccs Jaguars over Ravens Texans over Dolphins Titans over Bengals Commanders over Falcons Cardinals over Chargers Raiders over Seahawks Rams over Chiefs Saints over 49ers Packers over Eagles Steelers over Colts Jets over Bears
  12. That's exactly who I had in mind while posting. Russell Wilson More alienating cornball than alienating prick I think.
  13. Aaron Rodgers.
  14. Lol suck it Zach Wilson
  15. Are you the 5 follower dude? I was gonna ignore based on a presumed suspicion of 5 follower accounts :lol: Yeah, I don't really tweet or know people on Twitter. There is one real person following me, so I've got that going Followed. Are you actually in South Bend? My sister and Bro in law moved there about 3 years ago (both work at ND).
  16. I didn't realize this was your twitter handle, always thought it was an Eagles fan. But I get why you have Howie pictured. Good thread, I'm following now (along with raw) Are you the 5 follower dude? I was gonna ignore based on a presumed suspicion of 5 follower accounts :lol:
  17. Holy hell, how
  18. FWIW, the Rapoport report is much more positive re: Fields I think it would be a ridiculously shortsighted decision to play Fields on Sunday but whatever Seems like it would be, but I think balance has to be had in these situations that's often lost. Like you can't just hold out your best player if he wants to play and the medical diagnosis says the risk of further damage is limited. However it may require a different method of play to bring back down the designed runs amd assist the OLine even more.
  19. His injury is day to day but the Bears tank commitment is enduring.
  20. He's gonna make a couple nice vet anticipation throws and the Fields hater/racists are gonna be unbearable. They'll average like 12 points, but watch the D finally have a good game just to really make the idiots come out.
  21. I've mentioned a few times about the SoS hurting the Bears for draft positioning, but going to 8 in the L column definitely matters a lot. My Twitter thread on it:
  22. On my soccer watching friends recommendation I put down for +600 on a McKennie assist. Let's go. Officially a big soccer guy.
  23. Yea basically wanna see 2 OL, 3 DL, 1 LB and either a CB or WR as their big FA splashes. That's probably about the limit of what they can do with big additions. Obviously can do another half dozen min signings and a ton of futures contracts and small resignings. If they do that I think they can go for any value position in the draft or trade down too. They'll have covered most gaping holes, but will still have plenty of upgradable spots or spots open to competition.
  24. Getting the third pick definitely makes it easier. I was able to get multiple 1sts for next year along with 3 players in the first 33. I traded #3 for #5 (Seahawks iirc), but I couldn't say no to Will Anderson Yea I got that same trade from Seattle but Anderson was gone in mine. Went Young-Stroud-Anderson-Carter so I trade down again.
  25. Same. Don't get me wrong we desperately need to improve WR too but only so many resources available. I do like the idea of trading down and doing OT and WR in the 1st and then focusing on the DL in the 2nd round. I guess it all depends on how we handle FA. Is OL or DL particularly strong this year? Its of course still kind of early, but: He also posted his top 10 list last week which has a couple OL on it
